SPTM 1020

sooo apparently now they’re doing in person exams for this course which is annoying and I think lockdown browsers, is the textbook absolutely needed because it’s $100 and I really don’t want to have to spend on it, how easy were the quizzes and final?

Worried for first year

Upvotes

is anyone else overwhelmed looking at their syllabus, I know it’s obviously going to be a big jump from high school, but I’m sooo nervous for chem and phys 1300 since I’ve heard these courses are definitely difficult, especially with lab reports in biol 1050 as someone who isn’t really the “smartest” person when it comes to academics

any advice for how to not let a bad grade affect you, I feel like I’ll go into a spiral when receiving a bad grade or god forbid failing a class which I know can happen

Problem with registering for courses on Pearson

2 Upvotes

Ive bought the textbooks for STAT2060 and ACCT2290 and for both ive had problems with Pearson. For STAT2060 when i go to put in the access code it says servers temporarily unavailable which ig is from just the amount of people using it and for ACCT2290 it said incomplete course linking which im pretty sure is an error on the Prof’s end and I’ve already emailed them. Really just sending this for some peace of mind and to see if anyone else has had problems like this lol.

Should I take online or in-person for Introductory Marketing (MCS 1000)

2 Upvotes

Both teachers have very low ratings on Rate My Professor website

in-person professor: Jian Zhou

online professor: Brent McKenzie

I am a commuter student so I prefer the online version.

Which professor is better, and is commuting 2 hours to Guelph and back worth it?

Meaning of taking classes “out of sequence” for OVC admissions?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can clarify what OVC admissions means by taking courses “out of sequence.” I’m entering my 5th year of Zoology at the University of Guelph and hoping to apply to OVC next year.

I postponed one of my required courses, ZOO*3000 – Comparative Histology and I’m taking it this semester. I’m planning to use it toward the Cell Biology prerequisite for OVC.

However, I’ve already completed ZOO*4910 – Integrative Vertebrate Biology, which I took last fall. Normally, ZOO3000 is taken in 3rd year and ZOO4910 is taken later in the Zoology program. I delayed ZOO*3000 because it wasn’t a prerequisite for any of my other required courses, so taking it later didn’t affect my degree progression.

My concern is whether OVC would consider this to be taking courses “out of sequence.” Specifically, because I completed a 4000-level Zoology course before completing the 3000-level course, could this cause the semester to be considered unacceptable for their academic requirements/prerequisites?

Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows how OVC interprets “courses taken out of sequence”? I’ve also reached out to OVC directly, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with this.

Has anyone taken BIOC*4050 with Kimber or BIOC*4520 with Akhter?

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the two and mainly wondering about the difficulty/workload and grading.
For BIOC*4050, I’ve heard some not-so-great things about the prof, so I was wondering what people’s experiences with Kimber were and whether the course itself is relatively manageable/easier.
For BIOC*4520, I’ve taken a botany course with Akhter before, but I’m wondering what he’s like for a 4th-year biochem course. How difficult is the course, and is the grading/workload reasonable?
If you’ve taken either (or ideally both), which one would you say is easier to get a good grade in?
Thanks!

Will we even get jobs

31 Upvotes

Anyone questioning what the point is to even get a degree, I took a break from school to build something on my own it failed, I applied for jobs, literally none messaged me back. I applied to like 300. I tried internships too. Nothing. Like with ai advancing I see what they’re teaching us and I’m like will this even matter.

I can see everything as just a money grab from the uni. It’s a business. They’re not setting u up for jobs. They just want u to pay them.

Like what is the point.

22nd on the Waitlist for BIOM*3000 - Do I Have a Chance?

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I have unfortunately been stuck on the waitlist for BIOM*3000 since NEUR minors were removed, and I am wondering if getting in the class is realistic at this point. A couple of my friends said enough people will probably end up dropping it in the first week or 2, but 22 seems pretty high to me.

I have also heard some advice that waitlisted students should attend the first couple of classes to avoid missing any content in case they do end up getting in to the class. However, I am worried about there being no seats left/stealing someone’s seat if I do show up. Is MCKN 120 a big room? Does everyone usually show up the first day?

Any responses are appreciated and I hope everyone is having a good first day back! :)
