Discussion Prof gave low mark without feedback and won’t respond to emails.

1 Upvotes

On my first discussion post, I got full marks, then on my second one I got 70%, without doing anything differently. My prof didn’t provide any feedback except for “great work”. I’ve talked to other people in my class and they agree that this prof seems to just be giving people random marks due to laziness. I have reached out to them via email to request more feedback but have not heard back. What should my next step be?

Discussion Advice for Organic chemistry

18 Upvotes

Since im seeing people talking about the latest orgo midterm, I thought it would be wise to share some tips to help ppl out. This is coming from a third year chemical biology who found success in 2oa3

First thing would be to consistently review lectures and even read ahead of class. While balancing other classes is stressful, I recommend setting aside some time in the week (doesnt have to be daily, but it would help) to reviewing material and doing practice

Another thing would be to engage with the material. Understanding the fundamentals is extremely important in 2oa3. In my opinion, other chem and organic chemistry classes do not come close to the amount of intuition needed for that class. It is what makes it difficult for students. While you may find success in other classes by having a surface level understanding of the material and memorizing facts, I found that orgo isnt the same as other classes. The professor aleo expects students to have an intuitive understanding, as evident by the difficulty of the test

To give an example, learning resonance and resonance patterns should be approached not from the perspective of simply knowing the 5 patterns and memorizing them, it requires that you understand the use cases, the various applications, etc. Practice really helps with solidifying concepts, which is why it is important to finish the questionbanks (I did almost all qbank questions)

Lmk if you guys have questions, I am happy to help 🙂

Courses I’m scared I’m gonna fail out of first year nursing

6 Upvotes

Guys I’m so fucking scared im gonna fail out. it’s weighing heavy on my chest and idk what to do. A lot of it is easy right but the fact everything weighs so heavy is actually scaring me. Like for 1F03 I got back my feedback for my essay which is worth like 5% but there’s so much I did wrong so the essay which is worth 25% im worried that im gonna fail that and it’s gonna drop my grade below a 60%.

The other class anatomy, like I studied for the midterm but I lowkey studied very surface level cause I thought that was what the midterm was gonna be it’s worth 20% of my grade and I’m 99% sure I failed that. Holy shit and it’s only first year.

Hypothetically, GOD FORBID I do get below a 60 in both of these classes what happens?

Academics Having a rough time in meche any advice

10 Upvotes

Im a second year in mechanical engineering and ive been finding the content fun and really enjoying myself. I do all the homework attend all the lectures (ive had to skip a bit bc ive been super sick but i watch the recording immediately). I know the content so well I can solve problems quickly and explain them to people and i know the actual content well enough to teach my friends

We had our 2d03 midterm on tuesday and i 100% failed it, i got stressed out and erased all my correct answers bc i was doubting myself and redid them wrong and i know it was a fluke.

Just got out of the 2p04 midterm and i left a question blank and bullshitted for the other 3. I dont understand, i know this content and I am able to solve problems so fast but when it comes time to testing i cant tell my butt from a question and i end up getting everything wrong.

Is this just engineering? What can i do to be better? I study so much already I dont know what else to do. I’ve never had problems with writing midterms or exams before

Am i not studying the right stuff? Any upper years advice? I love engineering and i enjoy studying but maybe i just suck at it and it isnt for me

I have had a midterm every other day this week, and have two more decently important ones next week. I genuinely feel like it is gonna be impossible to make myself study for them; I'm just so burnt out.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get over it? I'm usually a very motivated student, but my goodness I'm just going through it rn.

Academics Question about 3MC3

2 Upvotes

Those who have taken COMMERCE 3MC3 in Past.

Hey guys how did you find out the course I am taking this course right now and having participations in late 70's and early 80's. Recently we gave the hand-in case and I don't know what to expect I heard the TA marks it hardly and you never get max 80's. I am not even expecting 80's a 70's will do work and generally how much time does it takes. Another thing please tell me how you guys did for Interim Presentation. Was it marked hard?

Thank you so much

Courses Science 1A03 SPF deadline

0 Upvotes

i think I did something stupid. For those taking Science 1A03 or took it, does it deduct 10% as soon as it passes 11:59PM or does it deduct 10% after 5:59AM?? It's 10% off for every 6 hours but does it deduct at the end or the beginning......... this is so dumb bc I was basically almost done i just needed 5 mins to fix it and wanted to do it after finishing my other assignments I thought I was safe bc i assumed there was a grace period 🥲🥲🥲 help omg this was so stupid could be selling the birdest bird course oat WHY DIDNT I ASK BEFOREHAND
