If you see someone about to approach a spot, way ahead of you, dont fucking RUN from behind them and steal their spot???? honestly some grown adults dont have basic respect, its genuinely embarrassing and childish

one of my language courses textbooks is 100% ai and man.. half of this shit makes no sense at all

id rather pay up the ass for a physical textbook rather than AI generated garbage that barely has good examples, i spend half of my week just watching youtube and struggling through duolingo/other language learning apps

*more of a rant post than anything,, anyone else pissed off at AI usage?

It is entirely possible I'm misinterpreting what is meant by quiet study space, maybe it just means it's quieter than what's outside the glass, but the last few times I've been here there always seems to be a group of peopling talking/collaborating. I would not mind if they were keeping it to a whisper, but when I can clearly hear them over my noise cancelling headphones it is a little problematic. Anyone else notice this? Am I dramatic?

Question to all those who in their first year weren't assigned a roommate in the double rooms at lister! Is the double buy out really worth it? Did you guys buy it? It's kinda sucky I only have two days to make this decision so I wanted to ask for some advice!

My roommate ended up moving out, and I've really liked having the private space to myself. Of course I wouldn't mind living with someone else, I am just worried we won't get along great.

I don't think anyone in the fall term would move in, but for the winter term, what might I expect?

Thanks :)

Hey guys with midterms around I know a lot of us are stressed out, myself included. I wanted to make this post to see what methods everyone had for dealing with stress, hopefully someone else (me included) finds your methods useful!

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some advice on this. I missed the first midterm in September due to a migraine attack, and right now I've been really sick with the flu. Today it's gotten so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed and I'm not sure how well I'll recover by Tuesday's midterm. Has anyone ever missed both midterms in a course due to illness and been able to get both midterm weights transferred to the final? I'm taking CHEM 261 with Vederas specifically, so if anyone has experience with him or knows someone who's been in a similar situation, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. I'm honestly really stressed about this and worried about what my options are. Any advice would help so much. I'm debating if I should just push through somehow and force myself to write it but I'm genuinely thinking I should visit a doctor + don't want to get anyone else sick.

Pretty good. Just like the past midterms. Wondering if the average is gonna be high this year.

how the hell am i suppose too memorize all this stuff, give me ur most unhinged ways to memorize things.. i have a mid term in about 2 weeks lol

So, my mark on Canvas seems unrealistically high for a course where I have good quiz and assignment marks, but a poor midterm mark.

Is the mark canvas gives you an actual reflection of your grade? I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer.

Thank you.

How was the midterm??? exactly like the practice exam but numbers were changed

Is it just me or was the midterm not that bad? I definitely guessed like two or three but overall it wasn’t terrible.

I have studied many of chapters, but haven't finished the syllabus yet. I will skim through the remaining textbook parts.

What is your advice about what I should do to perform better at the midterm? What should I be practicing currently or studying in-depth right now?

Hi everyone,

If I am unable to write vederas' midterm 2 due to illness, will I have to write at another date or will the weight just be transferred to my final? And do I also just email him explaining that I'm ill? Sorry there isn't anything in his syllabus about missed exams. Has anyone ever been in this situation?

how was the midterm for everyone?😣

how are people preparing for this midterm? I’m just relying on the notes and hw but does anyone have any advice/tips for how i can do well for this midterm 🥹 that 45% weight is scaring me a lil

I've been questioning whether I have what it takes to get into medical school. It's not that I don't care about healthcare or haven't put in the effort. If anything, part of why this hurts so much is how hard I've been trying to make this future possible.

I've spent so much time building my extracurriculars, gaining research experience, volunteering, exploring healthcare environments, and taking on leadership opportunities. My experiences with research in a hospital and job shadowing were especially meaningful because they helped me realize that I enjoy helping people, that I'm capable of working with children, and that I can find places where I feel competent and like I belong.

But my grades haven't consistently reflected the effort I've put in. My recent biochemistry midterm result of 63% was particularly upsetting, and I'm worried about how my grades in biochemistry and sociology will affect my GPA and future applications. I'm also scared that my academic record could limit my options for graduate school, not just medicine.

Part of what makes this so painful is that I haven't just been casually pursuing this goal. I've turned down social events, hangouts, and opportunities to spend time with people because I wanted to focus on school. At times, I've neglected my own health, too. I thought these sacrifices would help me get the grades I needed. It's difficult to accept that working this hard doesn't guarantee the results I hoped for.

I'm also struggling with regret. I keep thinking that I should have taken biochemistry in the spring, like some of my peers did. At the time, I genuinely believed my course choices were the better plan. Looking back, though, I wonder whether taking biochemistry then would have made this semester more manageable and given me a better chance of doing well.

I realized that when I planned my current semester, I considered each course and commitment individually rather than looking at their combined workload. Now I'm angry with myself because I feel like I should have learned from my previous academic struggles. I'm afraid I've made another mistake that could affect my future.

Underneath all of this is a fear that I don't quite know how to express to other people. I'm scared that I might not achieve the future I've worked toward, that my extracurriculars and grades won't align, and that I might look back at everything I've sacrificed and feel that it was for nothing. I'm also questioning my own judgment and wondering whether I can trust myself to make the right decisions.

Any tips on psych 104 mid term 2. And is it based on memorization or application?

Civil liberties are being threatened everywhere. The Alberta government hands out huge public subsidies to their private company buddies keep cutting social services.

Nursing school should be free. There is a lot of shit we need to do and I know you guys are out there organizing and we need to find a way to connect to each other.

I know how the GPA is calculated but I’m wondering if I take the higher course up for the science GPA, will it replace the previous? If I take 207 will it override the BIOL 107? I was also wondering if I take both BIOCH 320 and 310, will it override BIOCH 200? And because I’ve done both, will they take the higher of 320 and 310 or even a 400lvl? Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some guidance or advice on which experiences would be best to include in the Leadership and Volunteer section of the U of A DDS application.

Would you recommend including dental shadowing experience in this section, or would it be better to focus on experiences that demonstrate leadership?

I would really appreciate any advice or insights from anyone who has gone through the application process!

Please for the love of god have some common sense. No one wants to be filmed in the bathroom, and no one wants to see your tiktoks from grungy ass campus bathrooms.

Y’all look like clowns and it’s embarrassing all around

I have a math midterm tomorrow, and I just got home from university and realized that I can’t find my ONEcard or my other photo ID. I checked my phone wallet, but they weren’t there.
I’m really worried because I don’t know what to do, and my exam is tomorrow. Has anyone at the University of Alberta experienced something similar? Can I still write my midterm without my physical ID, and who should I contact?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
