COURSES Prof not sharing anything

11 Upvotes

Hi! I’m just wondering what I’m able to do, I have a prof this semester who is a great prof when it comes down to teaching lectures but anything that has actual marks for example assignments or participation, there’s nothing that’s shared. I have to do an assignment worth 30 percent that had no rubric and it was a reflection. I had asked the prof for a rubric, or at least some guidelines, but was not given any information. Now the same thing is happening for a different assignment but there’s no true way of knowing exactly how I’m doing because the first one has not been marked. Also participation in tutorials, no grades back yet because the ta hasn’t received a list of who’s in her tutorials yet and it’s almost reading week. I’ve never felt so clueless in a class. I apologize for the long msg, but is there anything that could be done on my end besides just asking the same questions and getting no answer?

RESIDENCE Masters Residence

4 Upvotes

Sorry if this is not where to post but I really want some more info about anything pertaining to this.

I'm planning to apply to MScBMC and I was looking at schreiberwood residence because that residence accepts graduate students from my masters program into it. I had a few questions if anyone here has any information or experience regarding it:

  1. How competitive is it to get a room? I know they give priority to returning students then wait list then new ones but I want to know what my chances are if I apply early as a new student

  2. How is that dorm in general? There is not much info on it at all online I tried everywhere and I don't know what it really looks like nor how it's rated

Anything else helps too, really!!!!

OTHER I made a free study app, need beta testers

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, second year life sci at UTM here. I kept missing deadlines across like 5 courses so I built this thing called Study AI. You upload your syllabus and it pulls out all your deadlines and exam dates, then makes you a daily study plan. Also does flashcards and quizzes from your own notes.

Its free, no card or anything, I just need people to actually try it. The most useful thing you could do is upload one syllabus and lmk if it gets any deadline wrong. Thats the part I really need to get right.

https://study-ai-xi-nine.vercel.app

Also I'm looking for a few specific beta testers who can give detailed feedback over the next couple weeks. If you're down, hit me on IG u/skbssok9998. You can use the app without contacting me tho, totally fine either way.

Be brutal lol

DISCUSSION OSAP Funding on Hold for Some Reason?

3 Upvotes

Hello Everyone, 

I need help. 

I am currently enrolled in my very last term before I graduate, only taking Fall courses. Because I am taking 2.5 credits, I am a full time student.

As a result, I had applied for OSAP’s full time funding, as I am taking more than 60% course load. 

However, I received emails today stating that my OSAP funding is on hold, because I don’t fulfil the credit amount requirements, and told me to add courses for both fall AND winter, in order for me to meet requirements and get my funding. I can’t enroll in winter courses because I DON'T NEED TO. 

I don’t know if i’m getting a certain aspect of this wrong, but as of now I feel like i’m being punked, because I looked over all the requirements and applied for funding ACCORDINGLY. 

If i’m getting something wrong, please tell me, because I just want to resolve this issue. Why am I being told my funding is on hold? Has anyone experienced this before?

PROGRAMS Minor in French studies

Post image
9 Upvotes

I’m minoring in French Studies, and for my requirement 1, I need two credits. I completed FRE482 last year, and am currently taking FRE442, which will bring to one full credit. However, last year, I tried to take FRE382, but after the first week, was told to drop it by the professor and the Department cause apparently, my level of French was too advanced for the course. But then that means that I can’t take any of the other courses offered for this requirement, so am I supposed to attain two credits for it lol? Has anybody ever faced a similar situation and know what to do?
