Honours or not

I applied for a Philosophy major and honours Philosophy (for January)and got accepted for both. Now I’m not sure what the actual difference is and whether I can accept the non-honours Philosophy and move to the honours of its going well. Just thought I’d check in here and see if I can get info on the difference. Thanks

Are professors *required* to post class notes? (MATH1800)

The professor for MATH1800 has not posted any class notes since October 9th. Some students have attempted to contact the professor for the notes, their requests were ignored because "They emailed him the night before one of the quizzes" (source: the prof, while in class). Are professors required to post class notes?

SSHRC CV Film Studies?

Long shot but has anyone in film applied to SSHRC as a Masters student and if so what did you put as your research discipline / areas of research because I cannot find anything that seems to align with cinema / film studies besides some questionable options about media studies or like fine arts analysis. Struggling! I realized only today that I was working on the wrong CV so that's super fun!

O-train dress rehearsal

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that you will probably be seeing quite a few people in civilian clothes milling about at Carleton station. Today is the dress rehearsal for lines two and four, open to friends and families of oc transpo employees. This is basically meant to simulate how the system ought to operate with paying passengers on board.

Does the Co-op Office remove students from accepted work terms if they don't meet the average for Co-op?

I have accepted a co-op job offer for winter 2024, and am almost done submitting all the paperwork. However, my major CGPA will most likely drop below 8.0 after the fall term. If that's the case, will I still be able to work this winter 2024 co-op term? or will the co-op office force my employer to remove me from my position?

Someone lost a keychain

Not sure if it’s sentimental to someone. It was on the ground. I’ve picked it up and put it on the ledge of the bridge. I have a video I can send if you want a more precise location. The community doesn’t allow videos, needs to be a DM.

Process for requesting appeal for lab work?

So I'm in physics and the last physics lab we had today was absolutely brutal. I get they told us to prepare beforehand, but the manual wasn't clear and the stuff we needed to prepare for was really just derivations of equations.

Unlike other courses, this course doesn't drop your lowest mark as far as the syllabus is concerned, and I know that this lab will easily be my lowest mark because I wasn't even able to finish half of it in time because the manual was so poorly worded, and despite making my grievances with the system known I was not supported to my satisfaction and thus led to my issues with completing the lab.

I'd like to know what options there are because I'm not sure that filling out an academic consideration form is the right response? Do I speak to academic advising? Do I speak to the course prof? Not really sure what the typical process looks like for situations like this. Any help would be much appreciated.

That religious guy just interrupted our lecture.

That religious guy I've seen some people talk about just poked his head in our door and told us to follow Jesus or some shit. I didn't mind it when it I saw him occasionally at Roosters or Ollie's, but lectures are different. He's black and has a medium-sized afro, does anyone know if he's even a student?

Scenes from yesterday's Jack Harlow lookalike contest!

While CUSA's execs continue to climb the social ladder for their own gain and make disconnected random decisions that rarely reflect the best interests of Carleton students, here’s what actual members of our community did on their own for some fun!!

PLEASE STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO JOIN BIBLE STUDIES!

I have been approached multiple times by the same person and different people if I would be interested in joining a Bible study and I have repeatedly said no but they keep asking me, leave me and other students alone! Is there anything that can be done? Where should I report this to?

UPDATE: I reported them to campus safety

Transferring from York University to Carlton University

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a 3rd-year Software Engineering student at York University with about a year and a half left until graduation. I’m considering transferring to Carleton University for software engineering and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this process.

How many credits do you think Carlton University would count for in transferring process, and was it worth it in the end? Or should I just focus on finishing my degree at York?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Haven Outrage

unpopular opinion lol but this whole thing made me learn that a lot of you don’t actually care about haven and you guys just want a reason to complain lmao. i’m not involved with cusa and im saying this as an observer. i looked at the budget sheets and spoke to different staff members bc i was interested in why the sudden close in haven. but it’s so clear, there was no way to save haven. haven needed to close down. i spoke to different students and most of them that are mad about haven closing haven’t even been there in over a year…? some of you still think that haven is still a book store 😭 like that was long gone over a year ago. if you love haven so much then why didn’t you go often? like for most of you the last time you stepped foot in that place was like during the time it was still a book store. i get it, it sucks that it has to close down but to act like it wasn’t needed is ridiculous. if you guys actually care about your student money and tuition then you’d know that it’s for the best. instead of our money funding a business that’s in massive deficits, we should use it towards something that’s actually going to benefit us.

You are not the only person on campus

Stop leaving your fucking garbage everywhere you are not British royalty no one is going to clean up after you. There are other people in this university who deserve a mildly clean campus to enjoy and not have to pick up your disgusting garbage, I find garbage everywhere even on water fountains, do you just think there's no one else in this uni? Have some manners.

River Building Headshots

I’m an alum who missed out on the time honoured tradition of headshots in River Building. I currently have none and it’s about time!

During my time as a raven, many people offered paid services for professional photos. If you, a pal, or anyone else are available around the holiday period (Dec 27 - Jan 2), I’d be happy to pay.

Please DM - ideally with a portfolio/instagram. Thank you!

When does the Starbucks etc. hire?

When do all the cafes/restaurants hire? I asked a guy at the Teraanga Starbucks and he said at the start of each term, is that true? Or are all the people that get hired at the start of the year there forever. I’m bored and I really want apart time job.

STOP USING AI AND USE YOUR BRAIN

I am begging you to stop using AI. As your TA, I am only paid for 130 hours a term. I do not get paid overtime if I go over my hours. Reading your AI slop wastes so much of my time and brain cells.

I would rather you submit a bad assignment that I can give you feedback on than AI slop that you will fail on.

Why is Carleton considered the better engineering school over OttawaU?

I'm currently a first year in Carleton, and I'm really loving the uni life, but I'm finding it hard to see the advantage we have in our engineering over OttawaU. I picked Carleton over ottowau because according to what I've heard and read there's no debate, but OttawaU has more design teams like underwater rover and baja off-road, their teams get much bigger bays, and OttawaU still has machine shop courses while Carleton cancelled theirs. There's some other stuff like the engineering games that Carleton doesn't participate in as well. Excluding curriculum and co op, what makes us the better engineers?

Admission advice

I applied to to the BSc in biology this year, and I am waiting for the descion. My current average is 91%, and I saw the cutoff range is 78-82%. However, I also saw that the acceptance rate at carleton is only 21%. Is this an accurate projection, because it seems very low. What are my chances of actually getting in, and am I stressing for no reason?

Update: I just got in!!!

Airheads Bites

Ok so this is a bit of a silly ask, but does anyone know where around Carleton I can get airheads bites?

This is not a question about the soft filled bites, this is a question about the plain bites, the little spherical candies. They are perhaps the single greatest invention in the history of all mankind. The convenience store in Teraanga commons used to stock them consistently, and for cheaper than anywhere else, but as you can imagine I've had little luck there recently.

They've proven incredibly elusive, generally speaking. The Rexall at the Billings Bridge mall also had them for a while, but they stopped a few weeks ago and haven't restocked. If anyone is aware of a store in the Carleton area that stocks them regularly, please let me know. I need the mood boost for exams :(

BIOL 1902 Final Lecture - Appreciation

The last five minutes of the video were the purest and most wholesome moments ever.

The professor was so wonderful and I'm so happy that I could switch to take his other course offered in the Winter. So sad that he's retiring this year, big loss for CarletonU.

His passion for his expertise is like none I've ever witnessed. He's a complete inspiration and I can't wait to see more of him next term. A+++++ to him for everything.

Places to get free Boiled Water on Campus? (Not microwaved)

I want to make myself tea, but there are so few spots I know about to get boiled water :(

I already know about Bridgehead, and some others, but are there any on the other side of campus?
