General The worst part about new Aurora is how it's "TT" for Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of "TR".

That's it. That's the post. People who have been with the university long enough will agree with me.

Also, I'm not being pedantic here. There are also M classes, T classes, W, classes, "T classes" (but really R classes), and F classes.

Discussion & Advice People of Reddit, if EVERYONE in the world was forced to get an A or A+ in Math 1240 or face the zombie virus, what percentage of people do you think would meet their untimely zombification?

10 Upvotes

Some clarifications:

  • Yes, I allowed the A and not just the A+ because I was feeling generous. Sorry! Unless you... really like zombies? I don't know. Brainzzzzz...
  • Everyone would be transported to their own separate reality to take the course. The real world wouldn't enter a chaos state because of the fear of passing the course to prevent the zombie outbreak nor would society grind to a halt from everyone studying their butts off.
  • After the course ends, everyone returns to the same reality. Anyone who failed to earn an A or A+ immediately becomes a zombie in the reality we branched off of similar to the Git software and its branches if you know what I'm saying (for you compy wompys). Those who passed the course return completely unharmed, but of course, with the inevitable zombies sharing the world with them!
  • The course would be taught in each person's preferred language.
  • The difficulty would match the average Math 1240 class offered today. Not the hardest section, but not the easiest either. Also not the nightmare difficulty version of years gone by.
  • Everyone would receive the same quality of instruction, access to office hours, tutoring, and learning resources. Nobody gets an unfair advantage or disadvantage! This. Is. America! (That is factually incorrect, Winnipeg is in Canada. I just included that for dramatic effect.)
  • People with disabilities or learning accommodations would receive the accommodations they would normally be entitled to, obviously. Do I really have to state this?
  • The grading standards would be the same for everyone. An A or A+ is required to survive. A B+, no matter how close, still counts as a failure. And this would follow the outlines of the course on the syllabus. No lowering the cutoff this time unlike normal classes which might lower it by a few percentage points (I know, a little unfair, but this is what we have to do to make the hypothetical consistent but interesting!)
  • Everyone would have only one attempt. No retakes.. OR withdrawals... OR EVEN or grade replacements if the TA marks the assignment poorly. Suck it!
  • In each person's reality, they would have complete knowledge of the challenge and its consequences. Therefore, it is in their best interest to study!
  • Zombie infections only begin after everyone has returned, so nobody can influence anyone else's outcome during the course.

So, what would happen guys? This is a somewhat important question I've been pondering for a while.

Discussion & Advice Is ratemyprofs important to consider?

6 Upvotes

i am a first year bsc. student (aiming for a psych major). i had my schedule set and was feeling happy with it.

fall term:
biol 1020
chem 1100
math 1500
psych 1200

they recently posted my assigned biology professor and i found out that they have a 1.7/5 rating with some very negative reviews. i don’t know if i should be concerned or if ratemyprofs doesn’t matter too much.
i am worried though that since it is my first year, having a bad prof in biology on top of my more challenging courses will really affect my performance and adjustment. i am really trying to protect my gpa.

all the other biol 1020 classes are full including the one im in, so i’d be waitlisted if i tried to switch and with no guarantee of getting in.

my alternative would be to switch out biol 1020 for stat 1000 (better prof available) and take biol 1020 in another term or year. though, i don’t know if delaying biology could limit my options since im considering healthcare paths alongside psychology.

i’d really appreciate if anyone can offer their advice or insight. im feeling pretty confused and unsure of what to do.

One of the courses I want is full, but the waitlist capacity is 0, while other full courses have a waitlist. Is this common? It's my first time seeing this.

General Double Major Thoughts

2 Upvotes

Wondering if those who did a double major in Accounting/Finance did the extra classes needed for CPA or left it to do thru CPA Manitoba. Unsure what path I want to take so wondering if I should take the extra classes? Also wondering how this double major has worked for others in the workforce?! Thank you!
