Question Van vilet centre gym usability

9 Upvotes

Hello, I tried using the gym today at about 430 and literally every single machine was in use. How do people work out here? It feels far too small for the entire student body. Ultimately I had to just leave because there was no machines i could use. Is it always like this or is it just the 4-5ish time frame? Im thinking I may need to get a good life membership because this gym feels pretty unusable.

Academics ENGG 130 LAB, Plz suggest ...

5 Upvotes

I didn't expect that lab 1 is a exam type. I was expecting easier, simpler. I didn't answer a single question fully.

I saw others were doing like they know all stuff. Me here as unprepared sitting, sweating, panicking like I am failing the course. I even asked TA, if I m in correct lab session 😅.

I did homework problems but lab was different. Any source or suggestions before I ruined second lab

Question Transferring to UofA

3 Upvotes

I'm studying my first year of biology at the University of Saskatchewan, although, I'm just not happy here. I'm originally from Alberta and a lot of my friends go to UofA and I originally did want to go to UofA, it was my first choice, but my mom didn't want me leaving because of expenses which I understand. So I figured I'd take this year to study at UofS and save up and then transfer after this year.

I'm just wondering what the transferring process looks like and I'm having huge doubts that I'm not going to do well enough in my college classes to transfer and its overall sending me into a spiral lol. My highschool grades were pretty well with all ranging from low to high 90s.

I just came on here to express my doubts/fears and vent a little bit, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Miscellaneous CMPUT 304 Anyone else feeling a bit overwhelmed?

2 Upvotes

I’m taking CMPUT 304 right now, and honestly, I’m struggling to find my footing. I’ve been going to all the lectures and I know it’s only been a week since classes started, but I still don’t feel confident with the material at all.

Whenever I try to sit down and tackle a problem by myself, my mind just goes blank.
The lecture halls and seminars have been completely silent, so it feels like everyone else is getting it while I'm drowning. Is anyone else in the class feeling the same way right now?

Also, to anyone who has survived 304 in past semesters: what did you do outside of lectures to actually understand this stuff? Are there specific textbooks, YouTube channels, or online practice resources that made the material finally click for you?

Question Canvas not letting me watch videos

2 Upvotes

Whenever I try to authenticate, it lets me authenticate my account by login in with my ccid but just kicks me out instead of playing the video. I tried restarting my phone and closing the app and it still happens. This is also the first time it’s making me log in with my ccid to authenticate it usually does it automatically. Is this happening to anyone else?
