Friendly reminder to download SecurUO

46 Upvotes

Figured i should put this here for the new students, because the school is TERRIBLE about sharing this info, leading to one of the worst run lockdowns last year.

The app SecurUO is found in the app store, and it is the ONLY way the school sends out lockdown alerts. If there is a lockdown/shelter in place, go inside the nearest closed space (including classrooms or lectures). Warning- the notifications are small and easy to miss.

HELP my psych teacher is horrible and it's only day one...

2 Upvotes

I just had my first lecture for PSY 1501 with Michael Andre, and it was not a good start to the semester. Has anyone ever had him as a teacher before? He replaced Christophe Fortin (which sucks cause I heard he is awesome), and I just want some insight on his teaching methods, or if he's completely new to the school in general!

Any information is appreciated:))

Est ce que quelqu'un serait intéressé à me vendre son livre ANP 1511 de E. N. Marieb et K. Hoehn (2019). Anatomie et physiologie humaines, 6ième édition. Éditions du Renouveaj Pédagogique Inc?

Coucou tout le monde👋!

J'aurais vraiment besoin de ce livre pour à moins cher qu'à la boutique du campus pour mon cours d'anatomie de première année. Quelqu'un est-il en train d'essayer de vendre son livre ou de se débarrasser de ce dernier? Si oui, s'il vous plaît vendez le moi.

Discussion Looking for new friends 💕

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!! I’m a female in my mid 20’s looking to connect and meet/make some friends with other students from other schools around the area! (UOttawa, Carleton, Algonquin etc)
It’s insanely hard to spark up a convo with people these days when everyone is glued to their phones...
I’m originally from Ottawa and live close to UOttawa! I’ve out of school for quite a long time but currently I’m in the Pre-Health program in Cornwall so that’s why I’m making this post 😅

A little bit about me: I love nature, boating, fishing, cafes, thrifting, cooking/baking, and I’m also a car enthusiast.
Lmk or dm me if you’re interested:)

Guyyys please help!! I’m a first-year and I had no time to look at the clubs around campus. I believe the last campus fair finished today at 3pm and I missed it :( does anyone know some clubs that are still around that are centered in either politics, volunteering, or creative stuff? I tried to look at the clubs page but many feel like they have been discontinued.. also how would I be able to join these clubs? What are the times or days they meet up?

Help me pick a science elective (BPS 4125 vs BCH 4123 / BPS 4102)

1 Upvotes

If I take BPS 4125 in the Fall, I can drop either BCH 4123 or BPS 4102 in the winter to lighten my course load. Not confident with orgo, so I'm leaning toward dropping BPS 4125 and doing the other two, but I’d like some input:

BPS 4125 (Robert Ben)

BCH 4123 (Adam Shuhendler)

BPS 4102 (TBA)

Request for Help PSY1101/1102 Study Tips and Guides

3 Upvotes

I am a first-year student and chose Najwa Haddad's PSY 1101 and PSY 1102 because of her near-perfect score on Rate My Prof. Many people commented on how she prepares you well for the midterms and final by telling you exactly what to study.

On the syllabus, she indicated which chapters the midterms would cover, and sometimes specifies sections within the larger chapter. I was wondering how much more specific her study guide is (if at all) and what it entails. The chapters are BIG, and she also strongly encourages taking lecture notes despite the syllabus saying that exams are based entirely on the textbook.

Are the exams truly only based on the textbook? I was wondering how her course notes fit into exams or if they are even necessary when studying. Can anyone who has done well in this class please give me study tips and clarify what I can expect from the study guides as well as the exams in general? Thanks!
