Eng second year onwards course planning

As an eng student coming into second year, realized that there were loads of course planning-related shit I wasn't aware of cos universities want to keep their mouths shut and hog more money out of us international students.

For example, nobody told me the syllabus structure of COSC 111 and the way its taught would be way better than taking APSC 177, etc. Or that an online course was available that every other eng student other than me took apparently. If so, I wouldn't have wasted thousands of dollars on a shit course like 177.

So, just wanted to come on here and ask whether theres any similar courses like that (e.g. a fucked syllabus) for second year onwards, cos I'm tired of universities bullshitting with us. I'm pretty much set on mechanical with a specialization in aerospace, and potentially want to do an astrophysics course as an alternative elective if possible cos I have a pretty good GPA so far.

PS I have spoken to an academic advisor before, but I probably asked them at the wrong time as they themselves weren't sure what courses would be available during the summer or if I could take a certain course or not, etc. Just fyi.

I actually fucking failed APSC 177 only by a small margin tf (really close to 50)

I’m an international student and I’m moving back for a month, so I can’t take COSC 111 during the summer.

Anyone who’s dealt with this have any advice? I’m planning to take an online course instead, but I don’t know where to find one. For context, I don’t want to take APSC 177 during my second year as I don’t think the course is structured well for me personally, and I need it or an equivalent course as a prerequisite for two of my second year courses.
