Hello Students,
Just a friendly reminder that BASM 501 & 502 must be taken as a pair in Periods 2 and 3. Most importantly you must take the same section of both modules with the same instructor. For example, both BASM 501-001 and BASM 502-001 or BASM 501-002 and BASM 502-002.
BASM 501 and BASM 502 can really be considered as one continuous, 3 credit course. The instructors plan their material over the two sections, and for a student to get a grade in one section, they must attend the same section for the following module.
*Please note that it’s not possible to mix the sections and get credit for the modules.
Thank you for your attention.
Date: Saturday, October 29 – Sunday, November 6, 2011
Location: UBC Vancouver

There have been a few changes to the FT MBA Schedule which may impact your registration choices on Monday.
We have moved BAFI 521 Financial Modeling to now be taught on Mon/Wed from 8am-10am (from its original spot on Mon/Wed 4pm-6pm). This was in response to significant demand from the Full-time class, particularly those students interested in Finance, who would like to take a combination of 3 modules: BAFI 521, BAUL 501 and BASC 511.
The only way for us to make all 3 of these modules available to students was by moving BAFI 521 to 8am-10am.
We realize that this may be an inconvenience to some students in the Part-time program who were planning on taking BAFI 521 in the 4pm-6pm time slot. We hope that those students will be able to re-arrange their work schedules to accommodate the earlier time slot, which will still take place at one end of the work day.
BAUL 501 Real Estate Investment Analysis is also a Finance elective, and will now take place in the Mon/Wed 4pm-6pm time slot, so this is also still an option for those Part-time students interested in the Finance specialization.
If you are planning on taking Finance, and are unsure if the BAUL 501 module would be of value or interest to you, I recommend you contact Murray Carlson (Finance Specializatoin Coordinator) or Tom Davidoff (Instructor for BAUL 501) for a more detailed recommendation.
Juggling a schedule such as ours with such a large number of elective modules is a challenge, and we thank you in advance for your understanding regarding this change.
This message is being posted on behalf of the NIBC Organising Team and Board of Advisors:

Dear International Graduate Students,
Just as you receive regular feedback from us as you progress through your studies, we need to receive regular feedback from you. The Student Barometer is your opportunity to tell us what’s working, what’s frustrating and what you think of your university experience to date.
The survey forms part of a wider ongoing study and is independently administered for the University by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate.org).
It should take you approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete the survey.
As a thank-you for completing the questionnaire, i-graduate offers the opportunity to win a $1,000 cash prize or suggest a $1,000 donation to charity.
In addition UBC is also offering four lucky students the chance to win an iPad 2 or $500 in cash. Details are in the survey.
Please click the link for your chance to have your say and the opportunity to win one of the prizes.

Your response, together with the response from others, helps us to improve the student experience for current and future students. Your feedback will be combined with that of others and your name and email address removed, so that responses become anonymous.
The reporting process includes the text of any comments that you provide. You are advised to avoid making comments that might enable you to be individually identified. Further analysis may be done by UBC on the anonymized data and by taking part in the survey you agree to this.
If you want to know more about i-graduate, please go to http://www.i-graduate.org/
Thank you in advance for taking the time to tell us what you think of your university experience thus far,
James Ridge
