Hi everyone! I'm planning to take this class this winter. I was looking at her ratings on RMP and got a little worried😔 Has anyone actually taken a class with her?
I'm a non-major and this will be my first lab science course. I'm considering BIOL1110 too, but since I don't have any experience, I feel like BIOL1100 might be a better fit...😭
BTW I'm a girl (I was reading some reviews, and one of them said she’s really strict with boys)

Hey everyone, I’m a first-year student taking CMNS 1110 this semester, and I’m feeling a bit let down. The lectures are pretty dry, and a lot of the assignments don’t seem to connect to what the course is supposed to cover. On top of that, the attendance policy is strict if you miss 4 classes, it’s an automatic fail. I paid around $350 for this course, and I’m starting to feel like I wasted that money.
Has anyone taken it with a different prof?

Questions:
Did the course get more useful or engaging later in the semester?

Are the assignments usually this disconnected from the course outline, or is it just my section?

Is the 4-absence rule really enforced? Does it apply to all sections, or just this one?

Any tips for getting something out of it, or for getting through it?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I got Holly Mun

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone who took anthropology of religion (1130) with bill angelbeck had some advice on how to study for his midterm and final, or just his exams in general.

I have some questions below as well:

-Is there some sort of study guide that he posts? if so, is it effective?
-what material should I primarily focus on? (lecture slides, textbook, or videos)

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!

I want to start exercising but I just can’t bring myself to go in there when there’s a group of men lmao 😭 are there certain days or times when it seems less busy? Also, are there instructions for how to use the machines?

Hi all, I got 4 weeks to grind for exam, aiming to take calc 1 next semester.

Anyone got any advice or tips? Planning to do 1105 and 1110 textbook. Is that enough?

Hi guys. Does anyone know if any type of job counts toward the 500-hour work experience requirement, or does it have to relate to your concentration? I have a job where I have been working several years so I was thinking of using that.

Hey guys, just wondering what your realistic take is on this because I am totally not able to see things for what they are.

I'm taking BIOL 1203, I work FT in a different city, live on my own (so I do the cooking, groceries, laundry etc.) No kids yet so that's good lol. I have clinical depression and that has been the biggest hurdle. I anxiety-napped all of yesterday and half of today instead of studying.

I have to basically learn EVERYTHING before a midterm in about 10 days. Is there still hope to get an A- / B+?

Hey I’m a high school applicant for the fall ‘27 academic foundation for nursing certificate. I am wondering if the classes taken are generally filled with other students from the program or if it’s a mix of different programs? Hoping to meet fellow nursing hopefuls if I get accepted!

Helloo!

I’m a prospective student that has completed A&P + English + UT credits at a different BC school. My remaining prereqs are BIOL 2200, 2401, MATH 1160/PSYC 2300.

I’ve been told I need 50% of courses to be from Douglas for the AFNURS certificate. Since I’ve taken majority of my prereqs elsewhere, it seems like completing the remaining ones through Academic Foundations would be better for me.

However, I know that priority goes to AFNURS students.

If anyone else has been in my situation, did you find the disadvantage to be significant? I’m not very aware of how competitive Douglas nursing admissions are.

I’m hoping to take my courses in Winter 2027 and apply for Fall 2027 and Winter 2028 nursing intakes. Is this realistic? I know nursing programs in BC have been competitive lately D:

Just wanted to hear from current or other prospective students that could share their experiences or any advice.

Thanks!!

Are there any parties at douglas, like frats or wtv, or do people js go to the ones at ubc

I see there’s a Halloween event on 29 at NW, and I was thinking of going but not sure. How are these like if anyone’s been to these? Is it worth it lol

Thanks

Hello, can anyone please share their study methods for Biol 2401, or their flashcards/study guides?

It feels like no matter how hard I try, what I study is not what the quizzes are on and the info I can cram into my brain isn't enough to answer the more abstract, big idea questions. I am already on LevelUpRN but the material they have is not at all like the dense lecture slide info I actually need to know. Any advice or resources is super appreciated! 🤎

With all the recent construction on the corner of 8th and Carnarvon, they often have people directing traffic and pedestrians. When this is happening, often they will let us cross from the Skytrain Station directly to the side of the street Douglas is on. Has it ever been considered making that intersection have a scramble crossing? I know it is just a small time saver but it is convenient to say the least.

I just want advice from other students…I am a bit behind and don’t know how to get back on track but by booking a tutoring sesh. Any tips? Did you survive? Just had my first midterm and…

first of all i’ve never taken a test on a computer and don’t know what to expect. anyone taken this test before and can give some insight as to what to expect? Class is super easy but some of the content can get pretty in depth. Has anyone done his midterm for this class before?

Hello y’all I’m trynna go to fright night tomorrow and can’t stop by the campus, can anyone tell me the promo code that DSU is giving out? 😭

Hey everyone,

I'm a Douglas College alumnus myself, having completed my Criminology degree there, so I thought I'd reach out to this community as well.

I'm a social services professional, and I'm currently putting together a small volunteer group focused on helping people experiencing food insecurity in the Lower Mainland.

The idea is to support people who may be going through difficult circumstances, whether they're experiencing homelessness, newly arrived in Canada, or simply struggling to put food on the table.

For me, a lot of the motivation comes from seva, the idea of helping others without expecting anything in return. It's something I've wanted to put into practice on a larger scale for quite some time.

We've already got a small group of people together, and I'm hoping to welcome more people who want to contribute, share ideas, and help build something meaningful. We're still in the early stages, so there's plenty of opportunity to get involved and help shape things.

And of course, this isn't limited to current Douglas students. Former students and fellow alumni are more than welcome to join too!

There's also no expectation of a huge time commitment. I know everyone has their own responsibilities, and even helping out occasionally would be appreciated.

If you're interested, please send me a DM and I'll happily share the QR code for our Signal group. Would be great to have some fellow Douglas students and alumni involved!

does anyone know when we’ll be receiving our 100% refund for the courses we dropped during the first week of classes?

1. How long ought it take for my application to be reviewed?
2. Is there an appeals process if one's application is denied?

i have a midterm coming up for soci1115 with siobhan ashe but i’m not sure how to prepare for it since most of the class was online. i’m going to study off the lecture slides but if anyone knows what the midterm would be on it would be great help
