How to calculate weighted grade average?

• First multiple the grade received by the weight of the assignment. Repeat this for each completed assignment.
• Then add each of the calculated values from step 1 together.
• Next add the weight of all the completed assignments together.
• Finally, divide the calculated value from step 2 above by the value calculated from step 3. This gives you the weighted grade average.

Weighted Grade Formula

Weighted Grade = (w 1 x g 1 + w 2 x g 2 + w 3 x g 3 + …) / (w 1 + w 2 + w 3 + …)

Example Calculation

Here is an example. Let's say you received a 90% on your first assignment and it was worth 10% of the class grade. Then let's assume you took a test and received an 80% on it. The test was worth 20% of your grade.

To calculate your average grade, follow these steps:

• Multiple each grade by its weight. In this example, you received a 90% on the first assignment and it was worth 10%. So multiply 90 x 10 = 900. You also received an 80% on the test and it was worth 20% of the class grade. So multiply 80 x 20 = 1600.
• Add the calculated values from step 1 together. We now have 900 + 1600 = 2500.
• Add the weight of all the completed assignments together. To do this, add 10% for the first assignment and 20% for the second assignment. That gives us 10 + 20 = 30.
• Finally, divide the value from step 2 by the value from step 3. That gives us 2500 / 30 = 83.33. Therefore our weighted grade average is 83.33%.

How to Avoid Having Your Grades Withheld

Toronto Metropolitan University may withhold your grades for the following reasons:

• if you fail to return books or any other borrowed property to the Library
• if you fail to pay outstanding fees or debts to the University

Your grades will be withheld until the status of these items are cleared to the satisfaction of the University.

You are responsible for all books, materials, etc., borrowed against your OneCard, unless you have reported their loss or theft.

If you have an outstanding debt to the University in excess of $100 (subject to change), you will not be able to access your grades and will receive a hold notice in lieu of your graduation award at the relevant convocation ceremony.

Grading System

Academic performance at Toronto Metropolitan is measured in grades. In individual courses, academic performance is measured in number and letter grades. Only letter grades are recorded on a student’s academic record. The grade point average results directly from the final grades achieved in each individual course. Course grades with numerical equivalent values are used to determine GPA for students enrolled in continuing education certificates.

Final academic performance in each course is recorded as one of the above letter grades or as one of the “other” designations listed below. At the discretion of the teaching department, performance on term work or specific assignments may be marked on a numeric scale. When a numeric scale is used, it will result in a traditional percentage scale with the ranges of conversion to letter grades as shown above.

Other Course Performance Designations

There are three forms of “other,” non-letter grade designations:

• non-graded designations acceptable for course credit purposes
• course performance designations assigned at the discretion of the teaching department
• designations assigned by the Office of the Registrar

These performance designations are described in detail below.

Non-Graded Designations

The following are non-graded designations acceptable for course credit purposes, but not included in any calculation of grade point averages:

CHG – Challenge : Course credit achieved through a successful challenge examination.

CRT – Credit : Course credit achieved through an acceptable grade in an equivalent course (as determined by the Toronto Metropolitan course teaching department) completed at Toronto Metropolitan or at another post-secondary institution. Such credit may be granted as a part of the admission process, but for students already registered in their program, this type of credit is normally granted only on the basis of a prior letter of permission from the program director.

PSD – Passed : Acceptable performance in a course graded only pass or fail (as predefined in the course outline).

Course Performance Designations Assigned at the Discretion of the Teaching Department

The following are course performance designations which may be assigned at the discretion of the teaching department:

AEG – Credit granted by a Dean, in consultation with the instructor, only under exceptional circumstances when there has been acceptable performance in a course and some coursework remains to be completed.

DEF – Deferred : An interim grade assigned during the investigation of academic misconduct as described in Policy 60, Academic Integrity (PDF) . The DEF will be replaced by an official course grade upon resolution of the matter.

FLD – Failure in a Pass-Fail course : Failure to meet the minimum acceptable standards a pass/fail course. Failures in such courses will not be included in calculating the grade point average but will be counted as a failed course to determine academic standing for approved department/school standing variations and for graduation.

FNA – Failure, Non-Attendance : Awarded by an instructor when the student has been absent from most course meetings and has submitted no work for grading. This grade is assigned when a student abandons a course without completing a formal withdrawal prior to established deadline dates. This grade is counted as a failure in the calculation of the grade point average.

FS – Failure-Supplementary : A marginally failing performance that may be raised to a ‘D-’ through a redeemable failure examination. Students with an FS designation must apply to write the redeemable failure examination which would be scheduled before to the end of the second week of classes during the next academic term.

INC – Incomplete : Incomplete course work or a missed final examination due to documented medical or compassionate grounds. An INC can be awarded only when some work remains to be completed and when the completion of the outstanding work or an alternate final examination may result in a passing grade. An INC will be assigned to students who have not completed a required Academic Integrity Quiz for educational purposes as defined in Policy 60, Academic Integrity (PDF) . The outstanding work or alternate examination must be completed by a specified date within three months of the submission of the INC unless alternative arrangements have been made with the program director. The INC will be replaced by an official course grade when the work is completed. If the work is not completed by the deadline, the INC will become a grade of F. The designation INC is not included in calculating the GPA nor is it counted as a transfer credit or failed course. An INC can be changed to an AEG by a Dean under exceptional circumstances.

Note: Students must petition their instructor to receive an INC grade within three working days, or as soon as reasonably possible, of the missed final examination or final assignment deadline. Supporting documentation (for example, Toronto Metropolitan Medical Certificate) must be provided. Instructors awarding an INC grade must provide the student, within seven working days, with a written statement of outstanding work to be completed and the date by which it must be completed (or the date of the alternate final examination). The instructor must also file a copy of this documentation with the program director.

INP – In Progress : Indicates course work in progress with at least one more term of formal course enrolment and study required for completion (for example, extended absence requires repeating the course, or a final thesis is still in progress). The designation INP is not included in calculating grade point average, nor as either a credit or a failed course.

Designations Assigned by the Office of the Registrar

The following designations assigned by the Office of the Registrar are not included in GPA calculations, nor in establishing academic standing, nor as academic program credit:

AUD – Audit : Course attended as auditor student only; course work is not evaluated, and no grade is assigned.

CNC – Course Not For Credit : Course is not used for credit in the student’s current program. This designation is recorded on the transcript as information supplementary to the grade earned in the course.

GNR – Grade Not Recorded : Grades have not been submitted for an entire class. The student should initiate an inquiry with the instructor and/or The G.Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education within one month of receiving the GNR grade, unless a grade revision is received.

If you are eligible for "Letter of Permission" and have met all the prerequisites for the home course that you want to take at another University for credit then you can contact the Program Director of your program to confirm equivalency of the outside course. You would need to provide the full course description of the course from the other University, including all details such as textbook, course outline, grading breakdown and especially all details regarding any lab component. You would have to complete a Letter of Permission form, found at this link: www.torontomu.ca/curriculum-advising/curriculum-exceptions/letter-permission/ , in order to take any courses at other accredited post-secondary institutions for credit towards the Toronto MU degree. Once the course is completed you would have to request a Transfer Credit. Visit the Transfer Credit website for more information and details: www.torontomu.ca/transfer-credits/apply/#undergrad .

• As spaces are always limited in the Transition Program courses, priority consideration will be given to those students who are missing courses required for promotion and students who are required to take courses as part of their probationary contracts.
• Any student who is considering to enrol in the Transition Program courses to upgrade or to 'fast-track' can always do so during Open Registration in early May, pending space availability, completion of prerequisites and no scheduling conflicts.

You are on probation because you either did NOT maintain a minimum CGPA (cumulative GPA) of 1.67 and/or you did NOT obtain a TGPA (term GPA) of 1.33 or higher. In addition to the general criteria used to determine Academic Standing, students in all engineering programs must also meet the following conditions:

All students in undergraduate Engineering programs have an additional condition for Clear academic standing. In addition to students needing a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 1.67 or higher, students also need to have a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of 1.33 or higher, based on at least two reported grades for that term (not including Pass, DEF, INP or AEG grades). Students who have a TGPA less than 1.33 will be given PROBATIONARY Academic Standing. Students with only one reported grade for that term will be evaluated based on CGPA only.

When you are on Probation, the Department will issue you a probationary course load in your upcoming semester that will consist of up to 4 courses (and may include repeat courses), to give you the best chance to succeed. NOTE: Being on probation is one small step away from being RTW (Required To Withdraw, i.e., suspended for 12 months) if you fail to achieve a minimum TGPA (term GPA) of 1.67 (C- average) . So, be mindful of this when the probationary load is assigned to you.

Please refer to University Policy 46 pertaining to Academic Standings for any further details.

This usually means that you are what is called an "out of step" student. This happens if you go on co-op or are not on the 4 year graduation track (e.g., spread out your load, or failed courses and have a delayed graduation). During this extra time, the calendar for your program changed .

For example, a 4th year course may have moved from one semester to another, or a course was deleted and replaced with another. Your advisement report is basing your course requirements on the academic calendar that pertains to your first entry date and then the subsequent calendar for each year. For example, if you entered in F2018, for your second year program requirements, the advisement report is looking at the 2019/20 calendar. Similarly, for 3rd year it is looking at the 2020/21 calendar year. So if you are an F2018 entry student and taking 4th year courses in 2022/23, your advisement report will be looking at the calendar of 2021/22 to determine which courses you can take to satisfy graduation requirements, even though you are probably looking at the 2022/23 calendar to pick courses.

So when picking courses and trying to figure out your advisement report, be sure to look at the calendar that applies to you. If you are on track and not on delayed graduation (e.g., co-op) then you should have no issues and use the most current calendar. Otherwise, use the calendar that applies to your year.

Please refer to FAQ #49 for more details.

Most errors in an advisement report are due to the situation described in FAQ #47 . The most common ones are due to 4th year courses being moved or deleted. To fix these advisement issues you need to e-mail your program director ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) to seek advice and guidance. In most cases a course directive form will need to be submitted but that is after the department has looked at your situation.

Your Academic Advisement Report shows all the courses you have taken (or are enrolled in) and those courses needed in order for you to graduate. You can check the appropriate calendar for your year of entry at https://www.torontomu.ca/studentguide/academics/#aa_report . However, your advisement report remains the most reliable source of information for you.

Grade Submission Deadlines

• Winter 2024
• Spring/Summer 2024

Coming soon!

Grade Submission Process

It is critical to meet the grade submission deadline for Student Records to process and post grades, and calculate academic standings. Please see  How to Enter Grades  for detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to use the online grade submission process.

For detailed information on the most recent TMU grading system, please visit the Grade Scales and Academic Standings page and select undergraduate, graduate or Law.

An instructor does not need to be a user of D2L's Brightspace (Grades Tool) to submit grades online.

Editing Grades

You may edit your grades online any time up until they are posted to individual student records (one hour after the published deadline to submit grades). Please refer to the Significant Dates section of the  Academic Calendar . Specific instructions for editing grades are available on the MyServiceHub Support website, on the  How to Enter Grades  page.

If you need to revise a grade or grades after they have been posted to a student's record: most grade revisions can be done through your Grade Roster once grades have become available to students. Details are available on the  Automated Grade Revision  page.

If you are unable to change the status of your grade roster to Approved, check to ensure that each and every student in your class has been assigned a grade. If this does not work, please contact Operations Support at  [email protected] .

If you are unable to see some or all of your classes on MyServiceHub, please ensure that you have selected the correct term for the classes you are trying to access/grade. To select a different term, click the change term button on the Faculty Center page.

Class Roster Information

A student who has dropped out of your class will still appear on the roster and in D2L if the roster was generated before the student dropped out. In situations like this, you are advised to assign a grade of F on the assumption that the student has participated in the class. If the student has not participated in the class and has not submitted any work for assessment, you are advised to submit a grade of  FNA .

If a student on your grade roster has never been to your class, assign them a grade of FNA . If the student attended another instructor's class (but the same course), that instructor will have to submit a grade manually. If this is the case, every effort will be made to match-up and replace the FNA grade with the manual grade.

Deadline Details

As part of normal policy, program directors, deans, the University Registrar, and the Vice Provost Students are notified of grades that have not been submitted by the deadline. Grading information is needed to ensure the accurate assessment of students' academic standings. Academic continuance reviews are normally held the day after the grade submission deadline.

If you are aware of a problem in meeting the deadline, or if you are in need of grading assistance, please contact Operations Support by email at [email protected] .

Confidentiality, Release of Grades and Policies

Confidentiality.

Student grades are confidential and are protected by the university's Confidentiality Policy and the Privacy Legislation (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). Please take this into consideration when handling documents containing grade information, accessing web pages with grade data and the like. If you have any questions about confidentiality of information, please contact  [email protected]  or view the  privacy policy .

Release of Grades

Students receive performance feedback throughout their course via D2L or through the return of their work, as per Policy 166: Course Management . 

Final course grades are only released by the Registrar's Office via MyServiceHub. Students will have access to their grades on the release dates outlined on Grades and Standings or the applicable calendar .

Note:  Students may have account holds preventing them from accessing their grades on MyServiceHub. Do not release grade information to students with account holds; suggest they read the details of the hold and direct them to contact the ServiceHub for support.  

Grade Policy and Grade Definitions

The purpose of the university's Grading Policy is to ensure that the grading practices throughout the university reflect appropriate academic standards: that the evaluation of student performance is made in a fair and objective manner against these academic standards; and that grades are assigned fairly and equitably across campus.

GPA Calculator

Use this calculator to calculate grade point average (GPA) and generate a GPA report. If you use percentage grades, have grades on a different scale or in high school with AP/IB classes, please change the "Settings" to input specific values. Also use the settings to group courses into semesters or to include past GPA.

(optional) Prior Semester's GPA Credits Completed Grade Format: Letter Percentage Point Value Add GPA of prior semesters Group courses into semesters GPA Planning Calculator The calculator can be used to determine the minimum GPA required in future courses to raise GPA to a desired level or maintain the GPA above a certain level. Current GPA Target GPA Current Credits Additional Credits Related Grade Calculator Letter grade and the numerical equivalents used for this calculator Grade point average (GPA) is a commonly used indicator of an individual's academic achievement in school. It is the average of the grades attained in each course, taking course credit into consideration. Grading systems vary in different countries, or even schools. This calculator accepts letter grades as well as numerical inputs. These letter grades are translated into numerical values as shown below. Most schools, colleges, and universities in the United States use a grading system based on the letters above, though E is sometimes used instead of F. Grading systems do differ however based on what constitutes an A or B, and some do not include grades such as an A+ or a B-. Others may attribute more weight to certain courses, and thus whatever grade is attained in the course will have a larger effect on overall GPA. The calculator can account for this based on the number of credits attributed to a course, where credit is the "weighting" of the course, as shown in the examples below. Course Credit Score Grade Points Math 4 A+ 4 x 4.3 = 17.2 Physics 2 B 2 x 3 = 6 English 3 A 3 x 4 = 12 Total 9 NA 35.2 GPA 35.2 / 9 = 3.91 Course Credit Score Grade Points Biology 4 3 4 x 3 = 12 Chemistry 3 2 3 x 2 = 6 Chemistry Lab 2 4 2 x 4 = 8 Total 9 NA 26 GPA 26 / 9 = 2.89 Guidelines for raising GPA There is no sure formula for raising a person's GPA, and strategies that work for one person may not work for another. However, there are some common guidelines and study habits that can be helpful when trying to raise GPA. The guidelines below are mostly anecdotal and are not intended as fail-safe ways to raise one's GPA, but are generally good habits that can have positive effects on learning, which may in turn increase GPA. Actively attending classes: Classes are being paid for likely either by a student or their parent, and not attending classes is both a financial loss, as well as a loss in potential education. While a student may decide that attending a particular class is not beneficial to their learning, or not a good use of their time, even if the professor is largely ineffective, there is usually valuable information that can be obtained simply by attending class. Not attending class for example, could result in negative effects on a student's GPA if for some reason the student misses information about a change in exam location or material. Furthermore, while it may be true that professors largely repeat notes in class that are often later posted to a website, skipping classes can result in missed opportunities. Questions from students in class, as well as the explanations that may follow can provide seemingly inconsequential bits of information that can in fact make a large difference on tests. This is because interaction with the professor and other students can increase a person's depth of knowledge on a subject, or may provide the small tip necessary to solidify a student's understanding of a topic. In addition, attending class, particularly if the class is smaller in size, can allow the professor to link a name, a face, and a grade, particularly if the student actively participates. Professors that see attentive and involved students are more inclined to be understanding of any potential issues that may arise such as emergencies resulting in missed due dates. Along with this, active participation is more likely to engage a student's mind in regards to the subject matter than reading online notes or a textbook, and points of confusion can also be clarified on the spot. These can in turn affect a person's grade and overall GPA. Every student has his or her own learning style. Some like to work for hours at a time to complete an assignment, while others may take many breaks. There is no ideal strategy, and how a person approaches learning is highly dependent on learning style, as well as adhering to a study strategy that complements their schedule and desires. The method that maximizes the value of the time spent is likely the most effective for improving learning, and subsequently, GPA. Organization of work that needs to be done, as well as notes taken is also important. It is as important to be able to find relevant information as it is to take notes in class. Notes are most valuable when they can be used to supplement learning. Professors present large amounts of information during the course of a lecture, not all of which a student may have time to process. It is important to practice taking notes in a manner that enables the student to look back and learn (or lookup) the information. Time management is also an important aspect of planning. There are only 24 hours in a day, not all of which a person can use effectively. While learning is important, taking more courses or activities than a person can handle can be detrimental both to learning, as well as to average GPA. Once all courses have been selected, budgeting and scheduling time for each course can help to put the amount of work and time necessary into perspective. While the amount of work necessary for a number of courses may initially seem daunting, planning how and when to approach the work for each course may help reduce stress and improve efficiency once the work is quantified (or could help a person realize that they are tackling more than they can handle). Reviewing work regularly, in terms of studying, is another aspect of time management. A substantial amount of information is covered in a course by the time of the final exam, and reviewing some of the information regularly over a period of time is often more effective than attempting to memorize all of the information right before an exam. Learning the information through periodic review can ultimately save a person more time, and potentially position them to perform better on an exam, and thereby improve GPA.

TMU Engineering First Year Semester 1 Survival Guide I'm going into my second year of computer engineering, I'm sharing what I could for the incoming first years. Even if you’re not in engineering, parts of this guide should be helpful to you. Feel free to reply or DM for questions. Aim to apply for OSAP in early July or earlier to receive your Fall funding before the deadline around the end of September. Apply for your OneCard (to access campus buildings) and pick it up before school starts. Set up your student account and email when the time comes. Attend events and boost courses from the First-Year Engineering Office (FYEO) to meet others in your program, along with the mandatory orientation day. Complete the Writing Skills Test (CEN 199), a pass/fail ~500-word essay that gauges your ability to speak English, so if you can read this post, you'll pass. Get everything you need ready, especially if you're following the popular choice of switching from paper and binder notes to digital notes on a tablet/laptop. The approved calculators for some courses are the Casio FX-991MS/ES and the Sharp EL510; our calculators were never checked, but these are still very useful calculators for the courses given their features. Ensure software used in your program can run on your device. For example, Multisim for future ELE courses cannot run on MacOS and would require emulation of a different OS. Class Structure: Schedules cover a week and your classes are based on the day of the week. There are 13 weeks in a semester; the engineering faculty doesn't get the reading week break in the Fall semester. Classes last a certain number of hours but will always start 10 minutes after the start time. Courses use D2L (Brightspace) to post content and announcements. You will have lectures, where the professor presents course content on slides (which are usually posted on D2L) in a large theatre/auditorium to a few hundred students. You will have labs and tutorials, which are in much smaller groups and rooms, that will supplement your lectures with more direct learning and work (e.g. content review, experiments, graded quizzes and tests). Note that there are no labs or tutorials in the first week of the semester. Each course is split into several sections; each section has a different time and/or place for its lab/tutorial but multiple sections will attend the same lecture. The first two digits on your timetable after a course code indicate your section. Lots of course content and information can be found online, including course descriptions, syllabi, and curriculum material. First-semester engineering midterms are mostly held on Friday evenings at ~6:30pm. Exams take place in a two-week period commencing shortly after the last day of classes. At the end of each course, you will receive a letter grade based on your final percentage mark, which also corresponds to a Grade Point Average (GPA) value. Term GPA (TGPA) is your average GPA each semester. Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is your average across all courses you've taken. Lectures: This course teaches different aspects of the engineering field and the program along with a lecture about each of the 8 engineering disciplines. The lectures are held by Dr. Amleh but more often than not feature guest speakers. You will need to purchase an iClicker subscription, a polling software used to hold a graded quiz at the end of each lecture. You can either use the site/app or purchase an iClicker remote which doesn't require a subscription (but note shipping times). Dr. Amleh and her teaching assistants (TAs) tend to enforce decorum in the lectures, so make sure to be on time and behaved in her lectures. Labs: There are also labs led by a graduate assistant (GA) and four upper-year 'project managers' (PMs). The labs will demonstrate and provide the course assignments, which range from simple MATLAB coding to engineering reports. The first assignment will be individual, but you will gradually work with more people as the semester goes on. The group assignments are overseen by an assigned PM. Generally, the lab assignments have little correlation to the lecture content. Midterm: No midterm. Exam: The 2022 final exam was an interesting case as although there was content from the lectures and labs, there were also non-course related questions. These included simple math and science problems, such as calculating the mean and determining molar mass, along with some logic questions. Professors: Only one professor, Dr. Amleh. Lectures: This is the most content-heavy first-semester course, which can be bothersome if it doesn't apply to your program. As a result, the course requires a fair bit of work to excel on evaluations. Some of the content is learned in high school chemistry while there are also new topics. Additionally, the lectures might feel sped through, but nevertheless, they do get recorded. There are also pre-lecture modules with course content for viewing prior to each week's lectures. An hour of the week's lectures contains a live multiple-choice problem-solving session via PollEverywhere (a software similar to iClicker but free). Both the pre-lecture modules and problem-solving sessions are graded for participation. Occasionally, the problem-solving session is replaced by an on-paper multiple-choice quiz. Labs: No labs. Assigned online problem sets replace labs in this course. Midterm: 2 midterms of 25 questions each, entirely multiple choice. Exam: 40 questions on the final exam, also multiple choice. Professors: There were 3 professors (one per section): Ghoshdastidar, Foucher, and Rackus, all of whom were considered good. Lectures: This course starts off with functions from high school and slowly works up to derivatives. In the second half of the course, integration is introduced. Labs: Labs involved review sessions of the content and occasionally had a one- or two-question written test. Quizzes: Weekly multiple-choice quizzes were assigned on the website Bitbolide. However, as of Fall 2023, it seems that Mobius is used instead. Midterm: Midterm including multiple choice and written answer questions. Exam: Non-cumulative exam including multiple choice and written answer questions. Professors: Recommend Alqasas, Duah, Samiezadeh, Wang; Avoid Fisseha, Jung. Lectures: This course is considered rather difficult due to its unfamiliar and abstract nature, so practice is key. The course starts with vectors, which transitions into the course focus of matrices and their applications in mathematics. Familiar concepts such as systems of equations and some geometry topics are taught. Labs: Labs involve a review session followed by a short graded quiz. Homework: Weekly textbook homework is assigned and graded. Midterm: Midterm including multiple choice and written answer questions. Study well, the average was very low in our year. Exam: Exam including multiple choice and written answer questions. Professors: Recommend Alqasas, Samiezadeh, Wang, Sayyidmousavi; Avoid Lan, Jung. Lectures: Large parts of this course are a review of high school physics, such as kinematics and forces, along with new topics such as angular kinematics. Professors in this course use either iClicker or PollEverywhere for graded mid-lecture questions. WebAssign: You will have to purchase WebAssign to complete homework assignments for this course. Make sure you purchase the full-year subscription as this will be used next semester in PCS125 as well. Labs: Labs and tutorials alternate weekly; you will have different TAs for both. Labs involve a partnered experiment for which you are given a guide and must complete a quiz on the guide prior to your lab. After conducting the experiment and gathering the necessary data, you will submit a lab report which is due in a week (i.e. before the tutorial). Theory Grade: Note that the grading for this course involves passing both a laboratory and theory component, which essentially means that you must pass the combined lab items (pre-lab quizzes + lab reports) and the theory items (midterms, exam, etc.) to pass the course. Tutorials: Tutorials involve a review session with a TA and a graded quiz afterward. Midterm: 2 midterms, usually entirely multiple choice but work must be shown to be given the mark for a question. Exam: Exam following the same multiple-choice/work shown format as the midterms. Professors: Recommend Tanguay, Goldman, Rebello, Da Silva; Avoid Toronov, Yuan. Electives: Depending on your program, you will need to take a number of electives . These courses stray away from your program content and can be taken anytime throughout your degree. Some recommended lower-level liberal electives are CRM101, GEO110, POL128, SOC103, SOC202, SOC203, and 101 language courses (if you have prior knowledge from high school, there's French). You can also consider taking your electives through the Chang School which can offer cheaper and virtual course options. There's a very long list ; it's good to choose based on your interests, though remember to avoid the prohibited electives for engineering listed below the table. Course Selection: You will receive your initial timetable on MyServiceHub around early August. Note that this is not final and you can change it once your enrolment period opens. You can use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to visually see your options for your timetable, based on your courses and preferred sections and times. This is open prior to and during enrolment. It is recommended to use MyServiceHub's ' add / swap / drop a class' features during enrolment to actually edit your schedule rather than through Visual Schedule Builder's features. Even if a section shows as full, spots can open up throughout enrolment. When you are choosing preferred course sections, note that a professor's highest-numbered sections typically have zero spots but show as open sections on MyServiceHub. These sections are only opened if there are not enough spots for all students in the course. Resources: Make use of the many resources available to you, especially if you are struggling. The FYEO and FYAs FYEO First-Year Engineering Handbook Study Halls: Before most midterms and exams, a professor or TA will host a Zoom meeting and go over review and practice problems. Bear in mind that these assume that you know the content, don't be the person asking basic questions in the chat. MUES Exam Bank : Contains past exams from a variety of courses for all years and programs TMU Significant Dates : List of all important dates and timelines throughout the school year, such as class/exam days, tuition deadlines, enrollment periods, and holidays. Engineering ACES Tutoring : Tutoring sessions to help with first-year courses First Semester Grade Calculator : A spreadsheet customized from the template given by TMU. Note that this is based off course outlines from Fall 2022, so make sure to make any necessary edits and changes. Overall, don't stress it or be scared. Know that there are 1200 others in the same boat as you. Don't aim to pass, aim to do the best you can. Just because everyone is talking about passing/failing doesn't mean it's not possible to do well. This is obviously a step up from high school, so avoid slacking or falling behind, but at the same time, don't overwork yourself either. Keep your well-being intact. For studying, you'll want to continuously adjust with trial and error to find what's best for you. If you skip a lecture once, you'll always want to skip it, so be mindful of what you're missing out on by not going to class. Don't be alarmed if you don't have a whole friend group in the first few weeks. Nevertheless, definitely get to know people and open up to others. Consider joining extracurriculars or student groups. Digital notes are the popular option as opposed to pen and paper notes due to its ease of use and organization; however, both are still used. If you are thinking about digital note-taking, consider your options (tablet, 2-in-1 laptop, etc.) based on your own preferences and needs. OneNote, Apple Notes and Samsung Notes are considered great note-taking software. Note that a bad RateMyProfessor rating doesn't always indicate a poor professor. False ratings, especially from COVID semesters, can skew the average rating for a very good professor. Connect with upper years, such as FYAs, to learn more from people who were in your shoes.

Save your plan for this assignment: Read your assignment instructions, check the word count and marking criteria, double check the due date and the format. Circle keywords in your assignment question that tell you what to do. For instance, is it asking you to 'evaluate' or 'describe' or 'assess'? Try writing out the question in your own words, or explain the assignment to a family member or friend. Circle or make note of any keywords that are related to your subject or course specifically (in Nursing, this might be \"human structure\" or \"misconduct\"; in Business it might be \"ethics\".) If you have any questions on how to understand your assignment question or keywords, log into your free Studiosity account to get 24/7 help from a study coach specialist. Use the right structure for your assignment type: is it an essay , report, personal reflection, persuasive or narrative, or scientific paper? Your assignment sheet or instructions from your teacher will tell you this. What do you already know? Spend a few minutes writing it down. Where will you look? Think about the tools you will use (perhaps your library databases, Google Scholar, others). Journals might be good for evidence, a credible online source or search might be good for general information. Get creative: When searching, think of other, related keywords that could give you new results and perspectives (for example the different keywords: Sport; Soccer; World Cup might give you different sources.) When taking notes, consider paraphrasing as you go - this means using your own words to describe someone else's idea. Paraphrasing can help you understand the idea yourself. (Remember, you still need to reference someone else's' idea even if you use your own words.) You might also choose to use a direct quote - \"exact words in a reference\" - or you might summarise, which is describing the findings of an entire source or section in your own words. If you take notes this way while researching, it will help you form your ideas, sentences, and paragraphs when you write your first draft. Save yourself some time - if you read something relevant, make a note right away . You might keep it in a \"research journal\" book or digital document, with correctly formatted references, dates accessed, and a brief note on what it relates to. This will save you a lot of time later! Remember those notes you took while reading? Now you can put them in an order that makes sense. Take notes to suit the type of structure you need to follow. Whether you are typing or writing, one method is to start with headlines - for example, by argument, by topic, by idea - and group the notes you made this way. Use your own words, using language that your teacher expects. Use evidence, properly. A draft isn't perfect! Try to write everything down first. Then, try to focus on developing those notes into organised paragraphs, based on the structure you need to follow.
