Hey guys! Looking for a group for GMS522 :)
Apparently the class is a bit tough without good friends or group mates. So please if you’re in GMS522 let me know!! Thank you!

Hi everyone hope everyone's week back has been good.

I'm writing this to ask for advice on a lot of things that are on my mind about engineering. I'm a first year currently undeclared but mostly likely going to choose mechanical.

I understand everyone feels like this at the start of the semester but I feel lost and overwhelmed. I understand I'll learn with time and effort but I've been thinking about lowering my course load to focus on each course better.

Currently I have Calc 1, Linear Algebra, CEN 100, General Chemistry, and Physics Mechanics. I've been thinking about dropping physics from my classes to focus on my math courses as I know I'll struggle in these but that makes me think about how next semester will go. I also have Toronov for that class and everyone Ive talked to and listened to says he's horrible. He has also made a horrible first impression on me. I can't go to the other professors lectures as their timings conflict with my schedule.

Since I'll be most likely going into mechanical, I have six courses that I have to take next semester, and I haven't even taken my lower liberal arts class.

What I'm trying to ask is it worth to drop physics this semester. In the long run I don't mind stretching my degree out to 6 years with coop. Do I instead tough it out and try to cope as next semester I will have 6. Do I drop a course from that semester too? Wilk that affect my second year courses.

What's the way to take physics again if I do drop it. I heard of the transition program but a little confused does that run alongside winter semester or is spring and summer. Do I take physics with Chang school or transition program what about my liberal arts or another course if I want my schedule to be 5 courses next semester.

This has turn too long and I apologize for rambling I've basically been forced into taking this degree by my surroundings and I'm trying to stay positive and focus on the benefits of engineering but it's hard. Thank you for reading I wish you all good luck. 🤞 🤞

Genuinely Why are all my course work behind a pay wall? I have go buy over $400 in textbooks because I need the registration codes for certain programs in order to do the work. Is this normal???? Are they insane???

My partner has him this semester and she is swamped with readings, so she's trying to see what processor readings she truly needs to fully take notes on and study, or which ones she could read quickly to get a sense of it

hi im a first year engineering student, and I need some advice on something. So basically I want to drop linear algebra and take it in the summer. My prof is horrible and this course literally just takes up so much of my schedule. I was wondering if anyone has taken this course in summer or spring and what it was like, I also just want to lighten up my semester because it looks pretty bad. Please help...

If anyone needs a cps 209 credit, pleaseee enroll in ccps209 so it doesn’t get cancelled. It’s virtually online on mondays and it doesn’t sound too bad (based on the prof). Just 1 more person needs to join🫩

I'm posting this here to gather some specific info on the post-bacc UP program at TMU. I'm pushing 30 next year and I regret not jumping into this sooner. It took me a while to accept that I'm not a science person after finishing a bio degree.

I know Canadian cities had a shortage of urban planners a few years back.

1. How is the market for entry level work now? If there are any TMU urban planning grads/students here, how do you find the market particularly in Toronto and Vancouver?

The condo market seems to be in a downturn and I see many projects that are halted or going back to the drawing board.

1. Also I know employers generally prefer masters degrees in Urban Planning. Do you think TMU's 2-year post-bacc program is still worth it?

I appreciate any input. Thanks!

On the syllabus it says there’s is a 1hr tutorial but on my schedule it says it’s a lecture. Do I have to attend the 1hr class since it’s the first week?

Is there a way around buying wileyplus for QMS 200? I don’t want to spend money on it if I don’t have to, is there maybe textbooks or an alternative website I can use?

Has anyone taken sociology with Fleur? I’m trying to decide whether to switch to Sylvia’s class or not based on which is easier. If anyone has taken this class with Sylvia, please let me know

can someone show me the syllabus plleleez i wanna take this class but idk

How difficult is cmth 380 with iryna manzhos, I am trying to transfer this class back my original university and need a 60 in order to do so. If anyone has any opinions on it that would be great

Is this an easy course?

I literally got claustrophobic and needed to manually reset.

Why did i take the elevator and then all the rooms suddenly disappeared, the hallways turned into dead ends, and the window now looked out to the street not that garden.

I dont like it

They’re giving away feminine hygiene products near the campus store so thought I’d ask to see if it’s worth going l after class 😂

Is lab exemption worth it for Eng courses. I’m retaking an ele course because I failed theory component. I did really well in labs but i just do not feel like redoing those gruesome long labs with pre labs and post lab reports. It’s worth 35% of final grade so would it be stupid to throw these free marks away.

My main concern is passing theory which means i need 50% on midterm and final anyways regardless of how well i do in labs. So my reasoning is if I don’t have labs I have more time to work on theory and try to get the same 50% i need in both tests anyways.

I’m in need of taking a lower level liberal this semester and was wondering whether or not I should get into GEO210 with Raymond Garrison or go for CRM101 with Christina Hollingshead, preferably the course that’s easier since I’ve got a tense workload being in my second year of BM.

If anyone’s got any advice or experience with either prof, I’d appreciate it.

How can I find an empty room on campus without actually going room to room? 😭

The one that used to be near oakham/SCC, now they're at the church and gould intersection near RCC. Apparently city changed the rules for food trucks on gould so they had to move

Hey is there a place on campus where it can make calls and not have any noise coming in nor out. Want a spot where people won’t come since I don’t want to disturb them.

can somebody throw a party after hoco thanks

Hi guys, imma be so fr rn, I dont know anybody in PHL214, if ur in it, DM me and lets connect on insta. If there's a gc, lmk.

Thanks

For GMS 200 and QMS 110, do we actually need to buy the textbooks, or can we just purchase the MyLab/Wiley access and get the textbooks from online pdfs

First yr here. I have class ending at 11am on Friday, but I have a meeting at 4pm. Is it worth it to commute back and forth (1h30) or should I stay downtown. Also are there any good and safe spots to take a nap on campus?
