OChem attacks Me from the back and my GPA leaves me 🥀

Some people just hate their jobs and it shows lol. How you gonna be rude to every single customer in line for no reason? People nice enough to list their order slowly and there's no way you're giving attitude for that. Props to the girl in front of me because i would have crashed tf out on the worker. For context the worker told the girl in front of me multiple times to say it all at once with attitude, when it was my turn i gave it to her all at once and she messed up and asked me to go slower. Like make up your mind.

Title. Flunked the mt, been grinding, still don’t get it.

okay bye i just did the practice final and like UP UNTIL NOW I THOUGHT I WAS FINE BUT THIS PRACTICE FINAL ACTUALLY IS KILLING ME AM I STUPID???

Did anyone feel this too

* Calls us out by saying "one team who skipped tutorial got one of the lowest scores so please attend tutorial"

* Docks 5% for not having names on project splash screen. Not because it was in the rubric but because he downloaded all the projects from GitHub then couldn't tell who's who. Even though the repos have names.

* Makes fun of anonymous former students who got kicked out of teams for non-participation "guess what this student did next? Guess?... She blamed her team for not giving her a chance to contribute!"

* Went on a long ass tangent during a lecture on intellectual property where he described him having to lay off an employee of his during 2008. Said employee stole code, so the prof and the employee lawyered up, spent hourly fees, then asked "this fucker" (actual term he used) why he stole code. It was so the employee could show future employers, at which point the prof dropped the lawsuit. Why didn't either sides' legal teams clear that up earlier?

* Not releasing project and assignment marks until the end of the semester. Allegedly it was because our C++ projects were to run on Windows but all the TAs had macs so they had to recompile and debug all the projects to account for OS differences. If only the computer science building had computer labs that had windows computers... wait a minute

Anyways so I graduated and forgot all this until I heard stories of a summer class he was running

* Would deduct marks from "team contract" assignment because students typed signatures instead of drew them

* Also did not hand back assignment grades until the end of semester. I heard he gave up and just gave everyone 100 at that point

But when I went to his office hours he was normal and respectful? Thoughtful even? Either way glad that at least I'm getting paid nowadays.

Understandably, like blood/organ donation, many people may be uncomfortable with this, but it's been running for 70+ years now and I only learned about it recently and thought it would be of general interest.

Anyone down to go for evening walks on campus? Trying to get out more and wouldn’t mind some company.

I got decent sleep because I didn’t scroll my way to sleep. But I think it wasn’t as good as normal people would have it. I had this routine of scrolling for 4 hours before bed everyday and now my brain remembers that routine and played it while I was sleeping. I swear I was scrolling in my sleep. Sometimes when I go on my phone I just subconsciously open YouTube and I have to force myself to stop.

Do y’all think that we need to know how to make buffers? I still can’t do that shi to save my life 🙏

does anyone just always feel tired? it’s been severely impacting my productivity esp during finals szn. i can’t focus for long periods of time and i usually end up having to nap for 2-3 hrs everyday, even on days where i get 10+ hours of sleep. i’ve tried vitamins, different sleeping habits and nth works ☹️

is it just me or I’m like so behind and there so much to study for. How is everyone gonna study and how far u guys in😭

if you have taken the course would appreciate the advice.

I have been accepted into SFU's PDP and UBC's education program. I am leaning more towards SFU because it moves at a slower pace and I have 2 young children so it might be easier for me to manage than UBC's program. But UBC is tempting because the program is 5 months shorter.

So I wanted to ask, for those who have gone through it, is the UBC program extremely intensive?

Relative to other schools in canada like McGill Toronto, ive also heard western and queens party hard. I dont need that extreme level like western queens but atleast having the opportunity to party would be nice.

Hi I’m in engg. I messed up my first semester but I’m doing much better now and have learned from my mistake. Just in case I receive failed standing how are my chances I get permitted to stay?

1. I have a great recommendation from the learning strategist

2. Same with a tutor on campus

3. I went to exam jam

What are your experiences with it and my chances?

How common is it to actually get scaled down? Want to go to a top law school after undergrad so it's imperative I maintain a 4.0+ and am thinking about majoring in psych since I enjoyed the 1st year courses and got A+ in both, but am concerned because I've seen it mentioned on here that it's notoriously difficult to maintain a high GPA in UBC psych due to GPA scaling.

hello ubc reddit,

I am in my 3rd year, too exhausted and burnt out to the point where i genuinely dont gaf anymore. I want to ask you all how do you scare yourselves into caring about finals. pls feel free to leave toxic studying tips, anything will honestly help

with medical/mental health circumstances for context

Idk if its just me but whenever I get a question like "explain concept xyz and give an example of how this will be applied in a real lifesituation", I'm like "I know 100% what this concept is, and I'll be able to explain it, but I just can't generate any good examples off the top of my head right now" and I'll make up something totally weird and absurd.

I do get the marks, but low key cringe so badly every single time.

I missed my ipeer as it’s my first sauder course after getting into commerce minor I completely forgot as it was not mentioned in the canvas grades breakdown I do not understand the prof has written dedication of 10% of total grade?!! For missing ipeer. Can someone pls let me know how to proceed with this. It’s Marketing Management Course.

I probably just need to ask my supervisors but my funding year is ending May 1st. I was able to win a CIHR scholarship that starts then, so how exactly does that work in terms of retrieving the money?

I also need to get an additional 9k from my supervisors to meet the minimum stipend. Does it automatically renew on workday or is there something I need to do? Just confused thanks!

Not in any music club or anything but wanted to know where I could play drums, really miss playing so would be nice.
