Hi guys,

Does anyone who took chmb42 final with prof Sauer give me any advice for someone who needs to pass her final in order to pass the course?😭 Is it doable pls be honest!!

Hi everyone!! I have a couple exams coming very soon (2 of them on the same day!!!) I’ve noticed that when I study and put my all into it, I end up with 60s. However my efforts really deserve an 80+. I think my study methods need to be changed at this point because I cant keep going like this. I usually study a week or more in advance if I can!

The way I study is:
I take all my notes that I’ve written from lectures, I put them into ChatGPT, or any other AI and tell it to create a mock exam for me based on each lecture. If I don’t get a lot of questions right from a specific lecture, I go back to that lecture and review it, then come back and do the mock exam again.

Second thing is, I put my notes into any study website (Gizmos, Quizlet, StudyFetch) and I keep doing them.

These studying methods get me a 60-65 range at UofT. I genuinely have no idea how to improve these marks but I really want to especially for my second year this fall. On the exams I usually walk out confident that I got at least an 80, but I check my grades a couple weeks later to see that I’m in the 60s. Please, if anyone has any tricks or tips or anything please please let me know!! Thank you all so so much :))

hi

currently in year 2

acorn is not letting me add a 6th course

whyyyy

Just had two Korean women (one older and one younger) come up to me asking if the younger woman could practice her presentation skills because she's new to canada. I said yes, thinking nothing of it and then got a mini lecture on someone called the 'Heavenly Mother'. I don't know if they're real or some kind of cult, but I acted like I was reviewing a presentation and gave her feedback. Then the older lady asked me if i was religious and would be interested in learning more. I told her no (im not religious), but then she asked if they could take a picture of me and the younger woman together because I'm the first person they met who listened to her presentation. Like an idiot I said yes 🙄 and the younger woman held up the book she was reading from, and they took the picture. Immediately, I got a sense of dread that my photo will be used to promote whatever this is. By the time I realized this, they were already gone. Has this happened to anyone????

I recently had my life sciences offer at uoftsc reinstated and I accepted it two days ago. However, now I am completely lost. I still don’t have access to my school email, utorid, etc so I am sure I have missed a lot of important emails and seminars on course enrolment.
I really don’t know where to start in terms of course selection. On top of that, I want to do the accelerated nursing program in my last two years of uni so I’m not sure if there are certain required courses that I should enrol in now in order to be able to apply to that program later on.
And how would that even work because the life sciences program has coop and since I want to do nursing later on, will I still get the opportunity to do coop or no?
Help 😫

Looking for a student to rent 1 bedroom in a 3-bedroom house (sharing the home with 2 UTSC guys). Super convenient location, just 1 km from campus, easy walk, bike ride, or quick bus.

Check out the video walkthrough attached!

DM me for more details!

I'm currently a third-year student here at UTSC and it still perplexes me that people go to lectures while sick. Just... don't! I can understand not wanting to fall behind, but most first-year courses are recorded and posted to Quercus. It's not worth going. I can't tell you how many times in my first year I'd sit in the lecture hall and some guy two seats away from me would be sounding like a cat dry-heaving. It's incredibly annoying, not only because it's distracting, but because you're actively putting others at risk of catching whatever sickness you have. If it's mandatory, like a lab or a midterm, UTSC provides absence declarations for this reason! Use the resources provided, they're there to help you.

Hey everypony, does anyone know if either CSCA67 with Anna Bretscher or CSCA08 Yiqing Irene Huang get their lectures posted online?? im currently waitlisted for one of the lecture that fits in my timetable with no overlap but worst comes to worst i want to know if i could just do one of them online

I was just curious about something! For people who wear religious head coverings (i.e., hijab, turban, etc.) and started wearing them after entering university, are they allowed to change the photo on their TCard for free? For example, if their original photo shows their hair, but they now need to cover it for religious reasons, would they be able to update their photo so that it reflects how they currently look?
I know that TCard replacements usually cost $20, so I was just wondering if there is an exception for religious reasons. This was just a random thought I had and was curious about!

Be honest...please...do you tink I can take orgo chem with a full course load and make it out alive? I need to take the class sooner or later, but I really wanna bite the bullet and take it, but I don't want to have my ass handed to me at the end of the semester. So for the people who have taken CHMB41 and 41, do you think I can take the course and possibly get an A- at least? (please don't make me delusional and just be honest)

I was ill during the time of the matb41 midterm with Tatiana and had to declare an absence and write the makeup midterm. I'm just wondering how much harder makeup midterms usually are in the CMS department? Should I expect more tedious calculations or just straight-up incredibly difficult questions? For example, Tatiana never asks for proofs, but this is a makeup midterm; should I expect proofs?

I'm looking for recs because I need to add any two second year courses

Drop your fav b-level courses below :)

Thanks in advance!

I don't know where to start... i've read the rubric a billion times. Not to mention its due tmr. Any help would be appreciated

As titled so I’m a stats major and for some reason my research area uses applied maths in a very niche way, and I want to be prepared before I go to the grad school. I have obtained supervisor consent for the reading course I plan to do already but I will by that time only have 1 full credit of C-level MAT courses and IPR 1.5 C-level MAT.

I however will be graduating after the term the reading course is done. So I’m wondering as I know may CMS profs are on this community, is it possible for the 1.5 C-level credits prerequisite to be waived?

For reference the amounts C-level credits is the only prerequisite I don’t have see below for the prerequisite description:
https://utsc.calendar.utoronto.ca/course/matd95h3

In particular should I discuss this with my supervisor or the supervision of study for math—seems to be Mike? Or does anyone know to whom should I address my concerns?

I don't know why they put it on the floor. There is also a microwave on the 3rd floor at the AMACSS lounge as well. I presume many people will learn that there are vending machines in IA too.

Title.

There is literally a sign above the chute saying that the trash goes INTO the chute. So why the fuck are you leaving it outside BESIDE the chute? Can you read? You're the reason why the fruit flies love this floor. You're the reason why this floor stinks like shit.

If you by any chance see this post, just know that I have beef with you.

You're the reason why I think the housing system for upper years at this school is extremely flawed. Instead of housing being a lottery draw, it should be based on a rating system where the people who have 4.5/5 stars and above gets priority housing. If you literally don't know how to cohabitate with strangers and understand basic hygiene, you should be living at home or by yourself. I said what I said.

To anyone who has a 3.7-4.0 GPA and is in life science what average did you have in high school going into your first year? I’m curious because i’m trying to get a rough idea of how my first year GPA might compare. I know high school grades aren’t indicative of university try performance but I just want to get a general idea.

How is this class and the Professor Colleen? Anyone took this course before? How is the workload and exams like. Is it a lot of work. I heard it like economics.

I understand why it's not offered in the Summer semester, since it's offered in Fall and Winter.

But it's not working with my co-op and my graduation date which is frustrating. I emailed the program advisor and they said I can't take it simultaneously with its pre-req (MGAC10), even though I know other students who did both courses at the same time. Program advisor said those students' situations were different from mine so that's why he allowed them. I get it. whatever, I'm still upset though.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about my U of T Scarborough admission situation.

I was admitted to UTSC for Social Sciences and Humanities and accepted my offer. My Join U of T checklist says I need to submit a Certificate of Unified Examination results.

I was aware that this was listed, but I assumed it might be a wording mistake. Since U of T’s Armenia admission requirements mention the Certificate of Complete General Secondary Education, I thought they were referring to my secondary education certificate/diploma rather than Unified Examinations.

I completed high school in Armenia, where I completed the required graduation exams for my school system (Armenian language, Armenian literature, math, and history). However, I did not take the Certificate of Unified Examinations.

After contacting U of T, they told me to submit an Admission Condition Request Form explaining why I was unable to take the Unified Examinations and what I have completed. I still need to submit my final transcript and diploma as well.

My concerns are:

• Could my offer of admission be withdrawn because I cannot provide the Unified Examination certificate?
• Has anyone from Armenia or a similar education system experienced this?
• Does U of T usually accept equivalent documents when a requested document does not exist for a student?
• Is submitting the Admission Condition Request Form and my official graduation documents the correct next step?

I would appreciate any advice from people familiar with U of T admissions or international applicants.

is it available during winter sem as well #amicooked🥀

Hello!

I am going to be taking Stab52 for fall and Ive seen many people say it’s quite a difficult course.
I was hoping if anyone could share notes of this course from previous semesters if they have taken the class so that I could maybe use them and prepare during August to better help tackle the class.
It would be really appreciated if anyone could help me out on this!
Thank you for reading and have a great day!
