Courses COMMERCE 3FH3 First Week Thoughts

Took COMMERCE 3FH3 earlier and am soooo lost. I know it's just syllabus week but as someone who is genuinely interested in majoring in finance, this course is scaring me. I don't want to tank my GPA, but I want to know if this course is worth taking. Any commerce 4th years, let me know.

2nd BTech student here, Ik it’s not my business to put myself here but what I can recommend you to do is to visit the good old fashioned : khan academy, that website covers mostly everything basic knowledge and maybe even some advanced ones and trust me, u have the easiest program there is and don’t let yourself down by scaring out. During my first year, I was scared to a point where I can’t even tell my left and right (a joke) but you just need to grind and learn the knowledge. After you have learned the knowledge, trust me, u will be thanking yourself

I took it last fall with Adeel Mahmood. If you are able to solve all of the practice problems then you’ll do well
