Hello bro what is your Fb id i wanna talk with you about this course?

[@thetraveller995]

Hey Could u please also explain me about GPA How is it calculated I have no idea about it

[@RoseClareFernandez]

Hey! so gpa is calculated by adding up your marks for all your courses then dividing that up by the number of courses you took. There are four types of gpa: term, cumulative, program and graduating.Term gpa is your gpa for the semester, cumulative gpa is your gpa for every course you’ve taken, program gpa is your gpa for your entire program and graduating gpa is your gpa of all courses that are required for graduation.

Hi!!! I’m from india , planning to join business course in seneca . Is there are alot of assignments 🤷🏻‍♂️ for business course ? ?? and is it easy ??? Mathematic requirements?? Any type of test before joining ??? How long classes are in a day?? What about the professors??

[@RoseClareFernandez]

hey, there’s not too many assignments and yeah it’s pretty easy. I’d say as long as you did high school math, you should be good. Yes you’ll have to do the skills assessment test to see which placement of English and math you’ll need. Classes are about 2 hours and professors are nice.

Hey, I too have same course but I'm so worried about initial days. So could you please please suggest of what should I expect before starting the college. Also I've got just two math classes offline otherwise it's online 😅please reply

[@RoseClareFernandez]

hey, expect fun, your first week of classes are nothing to stress about the profs usually like to get to know students and they typically just go over the course addendum, class rules and how to navigate the course website. there also fun events happening around campus a lot more during the start of the semester so you can expect that and most people starting college are willing to make friends and talk to others so everyone’s usually friendly. for online classes same thing, profs are usually really nice, friendly, it may be less engaging then in-person it kinda depends on the students. I’ve been to online classes where it’s really engaging and fun cause students interacted with the prof and turned on their mic to talk while other online classes it was mostly the prof just talking so less engaging

[@spongebobOwO]

Hey, I can't seem to find any information online about BSA (bachelor of software engineering) from Seneca college, and I'm trying to decide if I should go for BSA or CPA (advanced diploma in computer programming and analysis). What would you recommened?

hey, I’d ask seneca or you can check here for more info bsa: www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/BSA.html for cpa: www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/CPA.html cause i wouldn’t be able to recommend out of the two since i only know about the business programs

Not sure if that additional investment in a course with co op would help Looking forward to listen from u soon😀

[@RoseClareFernandez]

co op is where you can get work experience related to your program during a semester of college, I would recommend doing co op because once you finish your studies and are looking for a full- time job, it's hard to get your foot in the door with a company without experience in that field/program, so by taking co op in college, it helps. I'm planning on taking co op myself as well

How many days in a week you were supposed to go college?

[@RoseClareFernandez]

hey, there’s no set number of days, it just depends how you want to structure your schedule and what classes fit and when. For example, if you want to space out your classes then you could do 1 class a day for 5 days, or if you don’t want to come to college that much then you could try to make your schedule have classes piled up and just come to college 3 days a week so 3 classes on one day and then 1 class for the other 2 days. Or you can do 4 days a week and have 1-2 classes on each day

hey, bbs is easy but the accounting courses I found hard. you can take a break whenever, but yes usually students do two semesters then take a semester off(4months). usually one assignement per course a week, but it depends on the course, some have more and some don’t have any, they just have a weekly quiz. there’s a midterm and final exam for most courses a semester. so usually a midterm exam before study break then final exam at the end of the semester, some courses also do presentations instead of exams so it just depends on the course
