Meanwhile, Anoop was accepted to UBC and SFU for first-year studies. But she chose to come to Douglas.
How come? We'll let Anoop tell you in her own words.
“I decided to come to Douglas because it fit all of my needs coming out of high school. The answer to that crucial question, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” has changed numerous times, and I know that Douglas will give me the support I need to discover myself.
It’s OK not to have everything figured out. Personally, going to college is an easier transition for me. I want to explore different options so that I can discover myself. Smaller class sizes are a definite bonus.
My passion is to help people, and enrolling at Douglas is a great chance to take different classes and realize what educational path I want to take. And the fact that the tuition fees are lower makes Douglas the perfect way to transition into the real world while helping me determine my education.”
How about you? Why did you choose to come to Douglas?

I totally agree with you, by the same token my passion is the same as yours.
ReplyDeleteI loved Douglas when I first started here... Now I regret it more and more every time they release the upcoming semester timetables.... Douglas is great - as long as you don't plan on finishing your degree here.
ReplyDeleteHello. I am interested in what exactly is the issue here so we can take steps to correct it. Are you having difficulty with reading the schedule? Are you having difficulty getting the courses you need because they are not offered? Or are you having difficulty with some other aspect? I look forward to your reply. Thanks Ted James, Registrar
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me a detailed reply. I have contacted the Dean's office to obtain more information and will get back to you. Ted
ReplyDeleteHere is the reply from the Dean's office. I hope you find this useful information.
ReplyDelete"This student raises a legitimate concern and within the funding constraints we are working towards a resolution. There are students completing their degree who are now working in their field and express a desire for evening classes. There are other students who are choosing to devote their energies to studies and although they hold a part-time job they wish to attend classes during the daytime. We need to serve both of these expressed needs.
Unfortunately, for many upper level sections there is insufficient demand at present to offer multiple sections each semester. This may change as more students move towards the completion of their degree. In the meantime, where we have sufficient demand to schedule two sections in a semester, an attempt is made to offer one class during the evening and another during the daytime. Where only one section can be offered in a semester, an attempt is made to alternate between offering the section during the daytime one semester and then during the evening in the next semester."
