In all courses, there will always be simple courses and difficult courses. Freshmen should pay attention to the difficulty of the selected courses and distinguish the difficulty and priority of the courses. It is suggested to choose simple courses to reduce stress and enhance self-confidence in learning.

All courses are divided into 100, 200, 300 and above four levels. Usually 100Level is the simplest and 400Level is the most difficult. The report card will show the values that allow you to choose different levels of courses. In other words, if you choose a certain level of courses, it is basically a "waste course".

In addition, although there is no rigid requirement for the number and difficulty of elective courses each semester, it is particularly necessary to make a long-term plan for your college career in advance and distinguish between priorities. For example, some pre-courses should be arranged as early as possible, otherwise later courses can't be attended. Or some courses have an offer only once a year, so you should stay in this special semester, or you will have to wait for several semesters or a whole year, which will affect the graduation time. Usually, each department has a rough calendar that tells students how to complete college courses step by step. This calendar can be used as a reference for course selection.

2. Being greedy increases the burden and makes graduation difficult. Don't follow the trend when choosing courses.

Freshmen are always ambitious and determined to study hard, so they choose many classes to make their schedules full. However, when freshmen enter school, remember not to be greedy. Too much will only bring them a heavy academic burden. Take good care of your strengths and weaknesses, and achieve a moderate balance every semester, so that learning will not be too laborious. There are also some students who like to choose courses with the wind. People choose what they want, often in the wrong direction, and the result is to start all over again.

3. Do a good job in course selection in advance and consult more professionals.

Under normal circumstances, the school will inform students of the information of course selection, or students can log in to the school to inquire about the information of course selection before the start of school. Students are advised to prepare for the course selection as many months in advance as possible. In addition to keeping in mind the opening hours and operation methods of school courses, we should also plan what courses to choose. On the one hand, these preparations can be inquired through the internet, on the other hand, it will also benefit a lot from consulting more professionals, such as seniors who graduated in previous years, who are more experienced in this field.

4. Pay attention to the time node when choosing a course, and modify the course to find a tutor.

Canadian universities add or cancel courses with start date, end date and deadline. If students find that the selected course does not meet their own needs, or it is too difficult, or they are interested in other courses, they can change courses. However, it should be noted that many universities are allowed to add and change courses within a predetermined time, and they cannot change them at will after this time.

Every department of Canadian universities basically has a special tutor, whose purpose is to help freshmen choose courses or change majors. If students find it difficult to choose courses after arriving in Canada, or still have questions about choosing courses, they may wish to consult the instructor in the department.

5. Distinguish between major and minor

Canadian universities have a credit system. Generally, Canadian universities require 65,438+020 credits (with differences in specific majors), that is, credits, which means that when you get the target credits, you can graduate. In the online course selection system, there will be a report, which shows in detail the professional and other subject requirements you need to study. This is very important, you must see your own requirements clearly. Of course, if you have the ability and energy, you can minor in the major that interests you. Every column of this report card will have the options of reaching the standard and failing to meet the standard, so one day, when you see that every column of the score column is ticked, congratulations on your graduation!

Usually, the subjects required by freshmen are between 40 and 46, depending on the needs of different majors. Of course, different schools have different credit calculation methods, and some 40 courses have the same credits; Some are not. A course may have two credits.

6. Choose courses early and pay attention to the payment time.

Pay attention to the registration time of each new semester. Some may be full because there are too few sections or excellent professors, so the earlier you choose courses, the more choices you have. If you live on campus and want to sleep late in the morning, you can consider choosing an afternoon or evening course; If you live far away and need to take a bus, try to attend classes in the morning. It will be colder at night in winter. With luck, some courses can be signed by the professor at the beginning of the semester, so that you can register next semester; If you are unlucky or some courses have special rules, you can only wait on the waitinglist. Then there is the deadline for tuition fees, which needs attention. If the tuition fee is overdue, the school will calculate the interest according to the delay time.

In short, students should first understand the course selection system, adjust it slowly, calculate the course time, make reasonable plans within the limited time and course, minor in majors when they have time, participate in extracurricular activities in some schools and so on.

After completing the one-year preparatory study in the overseas study training base (headquarters) of Yunnan University International College, students can go directly to the university for undergraduate studies if their IELTS and preparatory scores meet the requirements of applying for university admission. The study abroad training base project of Yunnan University International College is a convenient through train for studying abroad in China at present, providing services for students in southwest China from preparatory training, applying for schools to studying abroad.

Project length: Yunnan University 1 year+overseas cooperative universities for 3 years.

Enrollment target: junior two students, high school graduates and freshmen. Senior two students need to provide a high school diploma before going abroad.
