Hey everyone, has anyone taken CRIM 230 with Amy Conroy? I’ve heard mixed things about her and was wondering if she’s really that bad. How is her teaching style, workload, and grading? Would you recommend taking the course with her, or should I try to wait for a different prof?

Hey, I’m an indigenous transfer applicant for spring ‘27 and I’m applying for psych arts - I was in bsc neuroscience before but I get more transfer credits this way - my gpa is kinda shit like 2.61, and I was wondering if anyone knows a good second program to apply to? My gpa is shit due to pretty major life changes, I have an F, ILL, and W on my transcript but I’m currently replacing the W, won’t be done until late august though. Also doing a course that ends this week and I think I’ll get an A+ which gets me to like 2.67. I was told admitting gpa for psych apps is like 2.7 ish currently, is that different if I do the indigenous pathway?

Is there a chance I can get into this class, please tell me this is possible

Hey everyone, I’m a 2nd-year Criminology student at SFU looking for an easy elective for Fall 2026.

I’m preferably looking for something online, low workload, and relatively easy to get an A in. I want something manageable that won’t take up too much time alongside my other courses.

Right now, I’m considering:
EDUC 100W with Cary Campbell
FREN 101 with Anas Atakora
ARCH 131 with Dennis Sandgathe
PSYC 102 with Alyssa Croft

Has anyone taken any of these courses/profs recently? How was the workload, grading, and overall difficulty? Which one would you recommend for someone looking for an easy elective/GPA booster?
I’m also open to recommendations for other easy electives, preferably online, that are offered in Fall 2026.

I have him for MACM 316 next semester and I see pretty much every single one of his reviews on ratemyprof for that class are 1.0. This scared me, but then I saw that those are from 2019 and his recent reviews from 2024 and onward (not for macm 316) are all actually pretty positive. Has he just gotten better at teaching or do I still need to worry?

Michael Monagan is the prof for 152 next semester, and 155 isn't offered for the fall so I have been considering it. Also his ratemyprof is insanely high which is why im intrigued to take it with him

I did decent in 154, got a B+ and I was cramming the hell out of every exam at that time but I am bit better at managing my time now.

My major is healthsci so I either calc works for me, but overall what do you guys think?

I know the application of the concepts in each course are different as 155 is based around life sciences like 154, but other than that are there any real differences between the 152 and 155, and would I be screwing myself over by going from 154 > 152 since there could have been concepts covered in 152 that weren't mentioned in 154?

Hi everyone, is anybody here doing the PLP Program? I am planning to apply next year and was wondering how it’s like working as an EA and at the same time doing school? Is it manageable? What’s the workload like?

I appreciate any insight about it. I’ve just been really stressful thinking about my options. I have all my prerequisites for UBC BEd (so I’m going to apply there) and missing 2 if I also wanna apply to PDP. I work as an EA so I’m thinking of just doing PLP instead of PDP. I’m just really concern about my well-being and mental health when I’m in the program.

Thanks for any comments!

hey guys, i’m on my last semester at sfu and i did my bachelors in arts with a double minor in business and humanities. my academic advisor recommended i do that since im quite a good writer but i wanted to major in business. it seemed like the perfect compromise at the time but now that im so close to graduating im worried i wasted my degree on smt that will most likely not get me the career i want. im considering doing my cpa designation because i feel like otherwise i have nothing i can do. does anyone know if im overreacting or would it be possible to find a career with this degree? or is furthering my education the best option? (pls be nice, im very sensitive)

I have never not gotten into a class that I wanted to be in after I started using this trick in my second year.

After the self-enrollment period is over, you can still easily enroll into courses by sending a simple email to the advisor. People will still be dropping out of courses during that time. Unless the class is a GPA booster with 30 seats reserved for faculty students only, you are safe to assume a spot will open up. I like to check every 3-5 minutes to see if anyone's dropped the course. If you actually want to be in a class enough to complain about it on Reddit, you should put in some effort and check if anyone's dropped out in the week following self-enrollment closure.

Is there no wait list for bisc 102 or is my site glitching pls lmk

Size XS, dm me if interested.

Obviously, as one of the top 5 universities in BC, it only makes sense that SFU would be high on the list to get a Medical School. However, I must say we have zero cultural or institutional support structures for medicine here.

We have a cool Health Science department, but that's more aimed at the administration side of things. We have a TOUGH BP & Kinesiology program (especially compared to US undergrads) which has more than enough prereqs to prepare people for med-school as well as decent hard sciences which, of course, are typical pre-med routes. So for making doctors... great we seem ready enough to feed some of our own into our med school.

That is not what I am talking about here. SFU is jumping straight into training MDs without the underlying allied health infrastructure that forms the backbone of healthcare.

The biggest one is, we have no nursing program... As in the most needed career in Canadian healthcare right now. UBC had their nursing program before their med school. There is also no PharmD or RadTech bachelors offered here. Furthermore, there are no lower level certifications offered at SFU for allied health professionals.

I can appreciate the "3-year, primary-care and family medicine focused" approach they are taking to the med-school, and a direct comparison to the research driven rigor of UBC may not be fair. Turning out primary care physicians is is also very needed in the Surrey area. Yet SFU doesn't seem to have any skin in the game for the clinical side of medicine, and I fear this will have negative consequences when it comes to the med school. An institution that understands the healthcare field and is actively engaged in it is more likely to produce better doctors no? Do you think SFU should be pushing for a nursing program?

A friend told me that the first year summer semester being shitty is a canon event, and for me at least, it's true. But is anyone else feeling super burnt out this semester for some reason? I have quite a bit of shit going down in my personal life but even my academics are feeling super difficult despite not even having a heavy workload

I’ve been accepted onto the FIC course and have already booked a room in the halls of residence, but I’ve got a question: do they provide any bed linen at all in the halls (a pillow, a sheet, a duvet)?

Hey so I’m looking at the GPA option for SFU med school. I did email my question to admissions but haven’t heard back so hopefully someone else has an idea.

Website states:
“The Life Sciences and Humanities or Social Sciences pre-requisite courses must be included as part of the degree used to construct the GPA and must be included in the 60 unit adjusted GPA calculation, regardless of when the courses were completed.”

So I have a nursing degree and also humanities/ social sciences courses but I took them before gaining admission to nursing. I was able to satisfy my nursing degree requirements with those but does this mean I can’t use them for SFU? They are on the same transcript but are dated from before I started my 4 year degree.

Both professors for this class seem pretty bad, and I was just wondering if it’d be better to take it with Ilia Bykov or Hong Chow based on anyone’s personal experience.

Please enlighten me. I’m starting my bachelors at 24 and have never been without full-time work. Did I save at all during these times? Nope 😊🔫 Is major debt that you’ll never pay off just the norm nowadays and if so how much? Might help me feel a little less scared.. Not to mention I’m absolutely terrified I won’t be smart enough to get a high enough GPA for my masters, I haven’t researched or written a paper in 6 years!! Lord please save me

I'll be transferring from Douglas College to SFU this semester as a Political Science major. I'm wondering if my schedule is realistic, especially since many of my classes have tutorials. I’m enrolled in:
1. investigative politics(POL200w)
2. public policy(POL253)
3. intro to environmental studies (EVSC100)
4. introduction to international studies (IS100)

HEY GUYS,

I JUST WANT TO ASK DO THEY PROVIDE FORMULA SHEET FOR THE CHEM 126 LAB FINAL EXAM AND

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FINAL BECAUSE I HAVE IT TOMMOROW!

I know a Phil major who WILLINGLY took both MACM 101 and 201 as electives and he's not even planning to do a minor in either Comp Sci or Math. What do you think are the craziest/most insane courses to take as electives?

Im not getting a concrete answer but if I've taken french 11 and 12 in high school, can i still take french 101? It let me enroll in it which is why I thought its fine but a few friends are telling me its probably not allowed but also they haven't taken it so idk, any info would be appreciated greatly!

I'm curious since there's a ton of doom posting in any subreddit even slightly related to higher education/employment of any kind.

I do however think it is extremely important to be aware of the market regarding higher education and if the outcomes meet the high expectations that everyone (should) have especially for schools with strong name recognition like SFU and UBC.

didn’t get into chem281 like I had hoped because all lab spots are filled. I am 46th on the waitlist and 6th for that particular lab. what are the odds i actually get into the lab
