cosc 121 final

The COSC 121 final is with Mostafa Mohamed, I'm pretty unsure about what to prioritize for it. Is there a lot about linked list/array list implementation? Sorting, like the specific code for it? If anyone has taken it, I'd appreciate knowing what the final mostly focuses on (I'm running out of room on my cheat sheet lol)

Why does it take so long to get multiple choice tests back?

I thought that half the benefit to multiple choice exams is that you put them in a scanner and they get auto-marked. I'm just curious as to how it takes 2+ weeks to mark them. Is it a shortage of machines? Or something else? It's just funny to get long answer exams back in less time than MC ones.

Corresponding letter grade and percent

I was wondering if anyone knew what the percent ranges were for corresponding letter grades Iā€™ve been going off the ranges from a hist syllabus but donā€™t know if that translates to sci courses, 0-49 F range, 50-59 D to C- range, 60-67 C range, 68-79 B range, and 80-100 A range. Much appreciated if someone could confirm thx

process for registering in courses if you've graduated

hi everyone! I applied to a few law schools for next September and I'm set to graduate this upcoming June, however if I do not get into somewhere I would like to go, I'd like to get complete a minor to boost my GPA (have already completed 3/10 necessary classes)

would I be able to simply register into those courses the following year or would i have to reapply to UBC? (also am I able to defer my graduation one year after applying for it if things do not work out or should I wait to apply until I'm sure I want to graduate?) just looking for some guidance!

Loud group in library and floor

Does anyone else just get fed up with this group of guys always talking at full volume? They sit in the same area of the Library on the 2nd floor. Back corner. They spread thier shit out like it's thier bedroom.

PSA: Library 2nd floor is suppose to be for quiet study. There is more than enough space for then to study anywhere else.

Guys if your reading this. Please shut the fuck up.

Easy first year or second year electives for a science major

Hey guys! First year science major here! I was wondering what easy classes I can take next semester as a GPA booster? They can be science or non science related. Iā€™m pretty interested in languages and history if that helps. šŸ™ƒšŸ™ƒ

Thanks!

Has anyone else had weird experiences with this guy on campus?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar run-ins with this guy Iā€™ve seen around campus because Iā€™m starting to feel pretty uneasy about it. Heā€™s skinny, about 5ā€™9ā€, has short brown hair, and thereā€™s something kind of disorganized about the way he looksā€”his speech is slurred, his eyes seem a bit unfocused, and walks weird? Iā€™ve had a couple of uncomfortable interactions with him. He comes up to me saying some flirty things and he gets frustrated if I donā€™t respond. One time he even followed me after seeing me at the bus stop, and when I didnā€™t take the bus, he lingered outside until the very last second, which really creeped me out. Iā€™ve also seen him drinking fireball in the middle of the day and picking up joint butts to smoke. Iā€™ve noticed him talking to other girls in that same flirty, uncomfortable way, so it feels like Iā€™m not the only one he approaches.
Iā€™m wondering if anyone else has dealt with him or had similar experiences? I want to make sure this doesnā€™t get ignored because itā€™s starting to feel like a pattern. If youā€™ve seen him or have any advice, Iā€™d really appreciate hearing about it.

PSYO 335 Final

What are people doing to study for the psyo 335 final? It seems straightforward with the 120 mcq questions, but I also don't want to be surprised when I open the exam. I did decent on both the midterms. So far, I have been looking at quizlets and going over lecture slides. Any quizlet suggestions or other study tips?

Computer science UBCO vs UBCV

I've been accepted into UBCO, UBCV, and SFU, and all have their pros and cons. UBCO is roughly jus tas expensive on their cost calculator so I am not going to be considering cost in this.

I am going into computer science and see UBCV shit on UBCO all the time but it seems ignorant and I've seen from students that have went for both, CS is the same or better because there's less students at UBCO but basically the exact same teaching, is this correct? I currently live in BC right now, and if any of y'all could share your personal experience, such as prices and things around the campus, opportunities for CS, co-op info, anything at all about UBCO compared to UBCV, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I got into UBCO and UBCV

I got into UBCO first as that was my first option for bachelor of science, I requested the admission office to give me a decision for my second option which was the Vancouver campus and I got into the Vancouver campus as well. But now i am confused which one to accept,bcz i do not like crowds or large spaces and UBCV is really large compared to UBCO,I like small classroom sizes but when it comes to getting my bachelors done,should i choose UBCV or UBCO?

math 221 an elective

hello, i am wanting to take math221 (matrix algebra) as an elective because i enjoy math (however i am not naturally good at it, so it takes some time to understand concepts). i was wondering if this course is too hard for an elective? i took math101 and i understood the concepts quite well after studying them for ~4 hours (per topic) or so (including sequence and series). basically, i am trying to say i enjoy math but the understanding doesn't come to me naturally, i have to work for it. so, with that in mind, would it be a hard elective?
also, i am taking pchem, ochem, and immunology alongside psych230. please let me know if this is possible or if i should spare myself.

Easy second semester electives

Iā€™m graduating in the spring with a science degree and I have to take an elective in second semester. Iā€™ve satisfied all my degree requirements so this elective can be from any faculty or year level, and Iā€™m looking for an easy ish course with a low workload (maybe just a couple of exams or a term project) and ideally somewhat interesting/useful content.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
