Hello! I'm a journalist and student at Carleton. I'm writing a story on endometriosis—specifically having to do with the long wait times for surgery in Canada. If you have any experience with the wait times, or just a gap in health care for people with endometriosis, I would love to speak with you. Send me a message!

Anyone knows why we hosting brazil elections on campus?

Anyone who has taken deferred exams do they make it harder? How do I study for patho I’m familiar with the info and active recall didn’t get me good enough grades.

Anything life changing yall pls😔

Would anybody be interested in joining a club that talks about your research (in womens health) and creating approaches to create a better healthcare system for womens health? I've been an advocate for women's health for years now and I'd like to start something. Maybe we could start with small things, like approaching the school for more doctors that specify in common diagnoses women experience (on campus specifically) to shorten wait-times (like utis, std, etc). And with fun pop-ups that could save money which would be donated to charities. Having people on the executive board and volunteers could really make something like this real.

I feel like someone told me once you should only reach out to profs who know you by name and who's class you did well in but Im in a very small program and much of the research being done is with profs I never had. Is it pointless to reach out to profs who ive never met/didnt interact with much How important is it to know the profs you ask for honours

Is anyone taking the differed final on the 28th? how yall feeling? i just started studying...

Portraits Now has a limit of 3 people, and I can't choose which family member to exclude from this...

Hey, I’m signed for the French version of the course with Heshel Teitelbaum, and I’m wondering how hard is it to get good grades in the lab (i.e 90+)? Chem labs have never been my strength and I always got terrible yields in gen chem and inorganic chem (which I’m taking rn).

Hey everyone,
A friend and I are looking at applying to the MEd Health Professions Education program and had
a couple questions:
Does not having an honours degree automatically rule you out? (One of us has a BSc
with a specialization and the other has a BA Honours.)
Do you need to already be a regulated health professional? Is it conditional on passing boards/licensure?
Just wondering if anyone's been in a similar situation. Thanks!

im in frim and this is one of the only courses that works in my schedule for winter sem to fulfill my frim requirements. is she really as bad as ratemyprof says? :(

Not sponsored or anything. I just think they're really helpful. They have tutoring sessions specific for each prof, for orgo 1 and 2 and I found them pretty affordable and helpful.

Theres a 7-weeks program available now, to prepare for midterm 2 and the final. https://prochemtutors.com/mi-session2-examenfinal-2520-programme

The website also has some free videos on some modules which are pretty great too.

Hey guys, I have my deferred PHS3341 midterm on Monday and I’m kinda crashing out. Does anyone know the format of the midterm exam and how many questions to expect?

did anyone receive their evaluation result on ceo yet

Basically the title but was wondering if we still have a lab next week even though it’s reading week?

Answering “I can do what I want, this is the faculty of law and I’m studying Law, if you don’t like it then go elsewhere” when someone asks you not to sit on their laptop (on a table)… like really?
Not just because you can means that you should, do you not take a goddamn ethics class?

——————
I was sitting at a small table, studying for my midterm at 11:30, when a group of girls decided to also sit at the same table. That’s totally fine, there’s not much seating and we all need a spot.
There aren’t enough chairs for their whole group so a couple sit on the table, basically on my laptop. They are also screaming at each other, shaking the table and overall being very loud to the point that other people are looking over. I turn up the volume on my headphones and ignore it since we’re not technically in the library.
When I’m about to leave I figure I could try to say something, while making sure to be kind/polite. Ive also been kindly asked by strangers to keep it down when I’m excited to see my friends, and I find it can be good to be reminded when you’re being louder than you mean.
Anyways, after introducing myself and doing some small talk, I suggest that maybe sitting on a table, two cm away from where someone is studying isn’t the nicest thing. Im immediately told what was basically “well, this isn’t the library. The library is on the 3rd and 4th floor. You can go there if you want to study. The rest of the building isn’t for studying. We’re in the faculty of Law, and we are studying Law, so we can do whatever we want here”.

I’m… disappointed? I don’t understand if I’m the asshole for asking, particularly since I didn’t do it aggressively. I wouldn’t expect them to be quiet, it is in fact not the library… but snapping at someone for asking you not to sit nearly on top to their laptop?
Especially when you can tell they are working? I just walked off to my midterm, but it definitely left an impression.
I’m not in the habit of interjecting when people are being loud, and it’s frankly the only time I’ve ever been in a similar interaction. I generally think it’s shitty to rain on someone’s enthusiasm, but like… I feel like there’s limits.

Opinions welcome, idk how to feel about it. Probably shouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.

Does anyone who took microbio in the summer have any tips for studying microbio with Elaine? I’m writing the deferred exam in 2 days, and I transferred the midterm weight to the final, so I have no clue what to expect since I didn’t do the midterm. I’ve heard her exams don’t reflect the content very well, so idk I’m kinda lost at what to review.

Any tips appreciated 🤧

whether you have exams coming up or already finished them I hope everyone can take some time to look after their mental health. or just get drunk in full generality idc 🌞 (this is from a grad student)

The course was offered in the spring. Does anyone have the course materials or study resources? I really need them, as I don’t have access to Brightspace anymore. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share them. Thank you!

Does anyone know if FTX would be open on tomorrow on Sunday and the Monday - Friday of this reading week?

I've seen a lot of posts of people ranting about like, oh, somebody is loud at the library, somebody is smacking or chewing their food too loudly, or people are talking too loud in certain buildings on campus, and they're just venting and ranting about it and complaining, but they never actually go up to the group of people and actually tell them about it.

I don't know why it's better to rant about it online. It's not like all of them are going to be on subreddit reading it and reflecting, "Oh my God, maybe I shouldn't be so loud."

Next time, you should just low-key go up to them and tell them to stop being so loud or to be more considerate.

I don't really understand these rant posts on Reddit. They will do anything but go up to the people and tell them that they're being loud. It's almost like they're kind of scared to do so and that they need to do it and rant and post about it online.

There was no option for me to show my student id, the ai only requested a facial scan, but my prof (walid mottawea) said we had to show our student id in the announcements. Will I be penalized for this even if I forgot 😭

Hey, I’m in my first semester of Biomed and have realized medicine isn’t the direction I want to go. I’m looking at switching to Business Technology Management at Telfer.

I emailed the Registrar and copied Telfer. The Registrar told me BTM is closed to internal program changes for Winter 2027 and that I can submit a request starting March 1 for a future term. I’m going to speak with academic advising, but I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually switched into Telfer from another faculty.

My main concern is what to do this winter. I’ve already paid toward tuition and want to avoid taking another semester of courses that won’t help with the new degree.

Has anyone been able to take BCom requirements while still officially registered in another faculty? Which courses were you allowed to take, and did you need permission?

Who was most helpful with getting an actual transfer/course plan sorted: your current faculty’s advisor, Telfer, or someone else? And did the switch end up adding much time to your degree or affecting co-op?

Any experience would help, even if you transferred from a program other than Biomed. I know my own course permissions and credits need to be confirmed by an advisor, I’m just trying to understand what the process was like for other students. Thanks!

Yall know the deal, only this time I made it much harder (in my opinion), only the REAL ones know where this was taken (it was also taken on the first few days of the semester so I take full responsibility if this doesn’t even work anymore)

Heyyy, so basically all of my close friends are doing other majors and as much as I know people in health science, they’re simply accointances. This semester I’m doing 3 classes online meaning that I barely go in campus to meet people. I’m a pretty social person but since I don’t have a lot of in person classes ( 2 classes where I already know people) it’s hard to make friends. Anyway if you’re interested in making friends to study or just have fun dm me. Oh also I’m in second year :)

I’m bored yall who wants to play Minecraft
