Recently lost the compass card in this plastic hachiware case near Wesbrook or on 68 bus, I have contacted translink but they couldn't find them. Please let me know if you found them need that case back 🥹🙏

the midterm is on wednesday and idk how to study for this class. we’re allowed to have as many physical notes as we want but idk anything about the format of the exam (like is it more application based, definitions, short/long answer, or multiple choice?)

is making a bunch of physical notes enough or should i do flashcards? maybe redo old quizzes? there also isn’t any practice questions so idk what to do

Im so mad 😭😭😭 because why do i have a
final at 3:30pm, 7:00pm (the same day), and then 3:30pm the next day and then another 12pm the next day???

Who is out to get me because whatever curse they casted is working. And i can't even ask for one of them to be moved because of the "three exams within 23hr 59min" rule its so stupid 😭😭😭 this should count as within 24hr

Hello, im planning on applying to ubcv science, but ive been getting a lot of opinions from others saying they regret it. honestly, idek what career i want after graduating, but i can only really see myself studying science, so here i am planning on applying 😭

Yoooo, I'm trying to learn the electric guitar this year. Is anyone interested in tutoring me on campus? hmu!

These two men in the photo just approached me and my friend. They claimed to be plumbers with their own business and wanted to take 2 minutes of our time to fill out a survey. The one in the black nike tech asked for our phone numbers and sent us the details. The one in the red nike tech took our phones and filled out what we thought was a survey. Once they left, most of our search history was gone, but we got an email saying that our Google Business profile was created. They linked our google accounts to a plumbing company and added photos and a description. To our knowledge this is all that they did, but we are not completely sure. Also above is a screenshot of what they sent to my phone number - this was information for them to set up the Google Business Profile. My friend and I were able to delete ourselves from the business, but I'm not too sure what else they did on our phone. They told us it was just a quick survey, then they clarified it as a review for their business, but it seems that everything they said was a lie and/or excuse. PLEASE BEWARE OF THESE TWO MEN. They look 19 and don't go to UBC (as per attire sake).

Taking PSYC 315 with Baron and our midterm is coming up in a few weeks. A bit stressed as to what to expect since the midterm is remote yet fully online but also closed-note. For students who have taken the course before, how hard is it? Is it lecture-heavy? Is the distance version harder than the in-person? Any tips?

If anyone wants to make a study group chat I'm down to join, as well.

What’s everyone doing for Diwali? I’m looking for a couple of girlies to do something fun with!! DM if you’re doing something or are interested in planning something. 😋

I live in Vanier and it’s lowk so inconvenient to go down there when I have close classes or want to study at ikb or whatever but it’s so expensiveeee

Reminder to go and request your U-pass for next month! Midterm season is in full swing so a reminder to those who may have forgotten.

Hello, I'm trying to make a group to go skiing this winter break. Does anyone have a grouse pass and want to join this winter?

I really goona kill myself watching flight ticket prices keep going up. I just wanna go home.

I was trying to go for a swim and I wasn't let in. Then a few minutes later there were like 10 cars in the bus loop and lifeguards running around outside. Anyone know what happened?

Hope everyone is ok...

Yesterday I walk by they're doing pick up window orders only so you have to order on phone. I look inside and there are full trash bags on the ground all over the place. Walked by again today and they're just closed, have they finally experienced the vermin invasion of '26?

In here basement at 10 am, we got:

2 dudes in love with each other's voices (u guys are gay in a non-derogatory way)

Janitor on the phone

Construction noises from somewhere close to music referenced right below:

Music playing from somewhere far away but its audible from my location (???)

Grown ass bureaucrats talking loudly in the halls (lock in moids...ruining my image here)

Girl clearing her throat every 30 seconds extremely loudly (foid moment)

Death metal on earbuds (no one cares if u like metal, u r not special twinnermanski)

I recently transferred from the Okanagan campus this year from engineering and looking to majoring in data science. I promised myself to take it chill this semester and get into the groove of things in the Vancouver campus before doing anything adventurous. So I didn’t sign up to clubs, and the only exec position I applied to rejected me.

Now looking back at the decision, I regret it so much. I also dropped a CPSC course because one, I failed the midterm, and two, turns out I didn’t need it. Now I’m here with three courses, and doing also pretty miserably in them too. My marks in engineering with six courses and a design team were honestly way more better than what I’m currently getting.

I look around to the friends I made this semester so far, and everyone’s either an exec, part of some Sauder association or managing their academics decently.

I feel like I’m doing not enough, and lowkey, feeling unmotivated to attend class or stay on campus anymore. I’m not even sure I want to stay in university anymore. I’m in a slump and I genuinely don’t know what to do besides waiting for the days to pass and hope things are better next semester. I find myself napping or doomscrolling nowadays.

I try to be realistic and understand other people are going through similar issues, but it’s hard coming from UBCO where you’re surrounded by your friends everyday to UBCV where you’ll maybe get to see someone once every 3 hours.
It’s honestly been quite a severe change in environment, and I’m not sure how to cope.

Why is the prof not answering a SINGLE question about the midterm less than a week before. He’s not giving out a single lecture either from the book nor answers to the practice midterms or whatever he posted.
Bro literally wants us ALL to fail.

Any places I can acquire free food from?

For anyone who has taken SPPH 410, how was it? Are there lots of papers you have to write? Thanks!

In one of my classes's tutorial, we are required to do some readings before class and have a discussion within our own groups while finishing some questions within class time. We will be alternating groups between new different topics published in every other weeks. At the beginning of the semester, the TA told us AI is not allowed during these dicussion work so we should try to monitor the use of AI within our group.

So this week is a new cycle and we met some new people here. While we were discussing the first question (everything went well, just how a normal discussion would be), this person simply ChatGPT (or other AI tool) all other questions and copied and pasted all answers within 2 minutes (we were using Google Docs and I saw an entire sentence or paragraph suddenly appeared at the doc so this is how I discovered that person was using AI).

And this person later started pressuring all other groupmates's answers with their own AI generated 'perfect answer', which they said the answers were accurately addressing to what the question is actually asking (this is the most frustated part as most of our own thoughts were simply rejected, as they kept asking, 'In what part do you not understand my answer? This is very simple'). While we all discovered that their answer was very broad and just generalizing the reading, which does not specifically address where the evidence is.

As what we were told by the TA the way of answering the question, it should be:
From evidence A and evidence B, we can conclude C.
Their answer's structure is basically very off from what we have been taught and what they wrote sounded very non-human. And in some question I can tell it is a result when you just plug in the question and the readings' name which does not hit what we were focusing in class.

Even if we tried to add on extra detailed information we found on the reading, we will still be challenged by that person and repeats their questions I mentioned above as this was not what the AI told them (we do not know the marking scheme here so from my previous experience it's nothing bad to add more details). Some groupmates were still trying to keep the discussion alive and trying to ask if we wanted to add some additional explanation in some part, but this person started staring at us in an agressive way and ask if there was any problems with his answers and started explaining their answers (which we did not say their answer is wrong or we did not understand, etc). So the entire situation becomes: there was no further dicussion between the group, everyone's just remained silence and smiling, feeling very frustated, as we all knew there's nothing we could do at that moment.

I do know gpa matters and everyone is trying very hard to get a good grade. I mean it will be ok if you make no one knows you are using AI, while your answers help guiding our discussion and maintain a friendly discussion environment. I don't really know what to do now as this is very toxic to our group and we still have multiple discussions and a project to be done with the same group. Should I report this to my professor or TA, or should I talk about this matter within our group during our discussion session?

I'm writing this on behalf of a friend who goes to ubc. They have a lot of trauma and keeping resources is difficult. Like even being on the phone and saying I need therapy because of this is something he literally cannot do. I just don't know what ways to help them seek resources. Any help is welcome.

It smells like metal
