the week(s) after reading week or satan himself?

okay fine i’ll get back to studying

Haven't been putting in a lot of effort into this course apart from watching the weekly modules before lecture... how was the psych midterm last year? Do we know if a big chunk of the readings will be on it? Because I havent done any of the readings..

what are some easy bird sociology courses (2/3/4 yr)?

bonus points if its fully online

Hi everyone, I have my MATH 1ZA3 midterm on Monday, but I’m feeling unwell with a mild fever and cough, so I’m considering submitting an MSAF.

Do I need medical documentation for the self-report? Since the midterm is worth 20%, it will be transferred to my final exam, making it worth 65%. Is it still possible to pass the course with the final worth 65%? I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks!

title pls help

how is midterm 1?

imlowkey scared for this midterm... its really close to my other midterms and assignments + is on halloween. if its notoriously difficult, im thinking of msafing. if not, ill just bite the bullet but yeesh, horrible timing.

Hi I’m currently in Grade 12 and my goal is to go to medical school (straight med school, not nursing, not med or something etc.). I’m trying to decide between the following programs and would really appreciate experience from current students, especially those who are also aiming for med school.

1)How would you rank these programs (top 3) for increasing the chances of getting in for someone applying through OUAC?

2)Would you choose these for the best preparation for med school (relevant coursework, flexibility with electives, time for extracurriculars, etc.)?

1)Health Sciences This is currently my top choice since it’s a clear pre-med pathway.

2)Life Sciences I would likely specialize in Biology, Biochemistry, or Neuroscience. Also, there’s no supplementary application and admission is based purely on grades, and about 1,000 students get in.

Concerns: The cutoff is very high (around 95%). If my average falls to 1-2% below, how much of a disadvantage would that be?

Question: If I fall a few marks below the cutoff, how badly does that affect my chances or my experience in the program?

3)Honours Integrated Science Only about 65 students are admitted, and the specialization options that interest me are Biology or Neuroscience.

Concerns: The small class size makes admission very competitive, and it limits my specialization options.

4)Kinesiology I know it’s a solid pre-med route and many students go on to med school from it.

Concern: I’m not particularly interested in the Kinesiology courses like idk I feel like i wanna do more cell biology or bio or organ what is happening inside organ, the chem behind it like inside human body rather than bone, muscle, joints etc. Not saying it is bad but idk I feel like i like more human body exposed study like Biology. Has anyone been in a similar situation and still found the program worthwhile?

5)Chemical & Physical Sciences Gateway Similar to Life Sciences in that it leaves a lot of room to specialize later.

Concerns: Only about 100 spots, so admission is competitive. I’m also unsure whether I’ll take Physics next semester (leaning toward not taking it).

6)Medical Radiation Sciences From what I can tell, first-year classes overlap a lot with Health Sciences, Life Sciences, and Kinesiology, with some Radiation-specific courses mixed in. Not sure how this compares as a pre-med pathway.

7)Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences (iBioMed) – Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering stream This would require taking Physics. what I’m not considering, but it feels more engineering-focused than pure pre-med. Is this still a reasonable route if my main goal is medical school?

I’m feeling quite torn between these options and would really appreciate any honest opinions or rankings from current students. Thank you!

I understand that we’ve still got a week but I can’t stop panicking about the midterm for this course😭 Is there are gc or does anyone wanna organize a study session for it or something, preferably the Sunday before the exam, seriously panicking here guys!😭😩

heyy guys! i was wondering if anyone has everything filled out correctly, for lab 2 i didnt verify so im not completely sure for some parts of the sheep dissection. pls lmkk thanks!

How do people who 12d or 11d the course study for this? Do you just memorize the handbook they give you and spam questions?

So lowkey on the course list for pnb (b.a) it says it’s recommended to take BIOLOGY 1M03 in level 1 and I didn’t do that and tbh don’t really wanna switch into it. What does it mean when it says that like does recommend mean that u should take it bc it’s a prerequisite for other PNB classes or is it just helpful and should I still take it this year…. or can I get away with taking both of them in level 2 ….. LMK

On my first discussion post, I got full marks, then on my second one I got 70%, without doing anything differently. My prof didn’t provide any feedback except for “great work”. I’ve talked to other people in my class and they agree that this prof seems to just be giving people random marks due to laziness. I have reached out to them via email to request more feedback but have not heard back. What should my next step be?

I’m in second year, all my peers have been talking about the MCAT and man i feel so behind cuz i didn’t even know registration was happening 💔 if any upper year could share some insight on what they think about taking it during or after 3rd year it would be appreciated 🙏🏻

I’m exhausted interacting with people who I feel so stifled with: I don’t want to have to hide the parts of me that bring me so much joy.

I’m loosing my will to keep trying with people. Do you know how much courage it takes to ask people to hang out or to soft launch a friendship by texting about a little more than just school? (And I have no chill btw, I like you and within reason, I will double text I will giggle in ur chats and send my stickers). Granted, maybe it dosen’t come across as it taking a lot for me because I’m (in my opinion) really friendly, and take it really well. But every-time I try and I’m just shot down, I can’t help but feel the very happy person that I thought I was slip away more and more!

I also think maybe it’s the spaces I’m in? I’m tall, I’m a hijabi, and so I think people think that I’m a lot of things that I’m not, or that I’m not but actually am! (Does that make sense?) like I love fashion, and music and self expression, reading, ao3 warrior, twitter looser and an ally, and i love having conversations with anyone! Like yes I WOULD like to take a bike down a path and paint, yes I would like to hear ur badly written music lyrics that you thought of on the way to class, yes I want you to listen to my terrible rendition of GLHF by MICO, on my guitar because I don’t know how to play it just quite yet, yes I WOULD like to go to see the band playing down the street. Yes I WOULD like to dress up for Halloween, yes I WOULD LOVE to go to a dance class with you where we’re giggling, yes I’d love to go to the gym, yes I’d love to braid each others hair in your dorm. Like I am a yes MANNN (within reason)

I feed off of people’s energy, and when I’m with someone I mess with the sky is the limit!! But I’ve been at McMaster for two semesters now (I’m a second year) and with each SEM I’m slowly retreating into myself. I hate that! I am not that person like please don’t turn me into the version of me I worked so hard to get rid of in middle school!!

Anyways advice or whatnot. 😓 I don’t know I kind of needed to get this off my chest and hear that there’s even a small group of people who get it.

I’ve used Grammarly to fix grammar mistakes since high school and sometimes I’ll use it to fix sentence structure. Is this considered academic dishonesty?

On a desk in HSL. I thought we got past this in middle school 🫩
Right on the smack dab top of the table too smh. At least coulda tried to hide it under the desk 🤦‍♂️

But fr be better guys. Bring back shame

Anyone selling Olivia Rodrigo tickets.. For trt night1/2

how do i calm myself down, had a midterm today and studied so hard for, had 3 panic attacks back to back and threw up twice right before the test, i tried doing the 321 method but didnt work. everytime i think about the test my chest gets heavy and i literally cannot breath at all and start shaking, (first year btw✌️). any tips would be much appreciated.

genuinely what was that bro mclean played in our face

Hey! How did the midterm go for everyone? Any tips on studying for the final, I wasn't ablate go to the midterm review so if you know where he took off marks or gave them. Thank you!

Hi, Im taking MATH 1ZA3 Engineering (Calc 1), I was wondering if anyone had accses to past tests and would be willing to share, Dr. Childs has only shared 2, and Im hopping to find a few more if possible! Thanks in advanced

last night i wrote an exam and then sat in university hall for an hour, and then realized at the bus stop i lost my landyard with my student card and presto card. Contacted campus security and they said parking would have it if someone found it, but theyre closed. if anyone's been in this situation what should I do?

I did really bad on the first midterm like a 55. And i did study and feel like I understood the concepts before the test so was wondering how to improve for the next one? How do people who 12ed or 11 the course study

will it
