SOCIO 1000

Guys I am taking socio 1000 with Md Bhuiyan. He is a nice guy but I don't find any of his slides well put together. I don't have the book and he has an accent I don't get. If someone has taken this course with him previously can you please tell me the sort of questions he puts in his finals?

Looking for another first year to read with

Alot of people suggested that i should find someone to study with (or an "accountability partner") in my last post. I've tried some of the other suggestions but my phone usage still hasn't dropped and i still can't study, so i decided to try this.

Currently taking stat 1150, math 1500 and 3 other courses. I'm looking for someone who's also taking both math 1500 and Stat 1150. Preferably someone whose doing atleast a little bit above average. Most of the people i know irl aren't really doing well in those courses(no hate to them), and i have to cover alot in two weeks so i can't afford to lose time.

We don't have to meet in-person, could just be a voice call.

GET CLUBROOMS BACK!!!

So im a freshman and after i joined the uni for the first month stuff was confusing. No clue how to make friends, where to actually not just crushed by the new format of uni and eveyone doing their own stuff. After i joined a club, went to events and stuff. Taked in online gc with other people that was fun but thats it. For a club having a place to meetup and hangout with others is the best but we had no clubrooms as they were taken by umsu a couple years back. The only clubs with clubrooms were clubs with a faculty or externally supported club even tho our has a lot of activities and active participants. Now the club im in and others that had their clubrooms taken away have started a petition to try get clubrooms back but alot of people dont think that we will get them so if yall wanna support this, just sign this petition online. It'll take about 15 secs to sign it.

This is the official post from the organizers with better written details than me and the link to the petition.

Wish me luck yall

Got a lab exam with a historical class avg of 15-30%, a lab report, and a presentation on a 15 page paper my group hasn't started due all on Monday. All for the same class.

Ive experience weeding of dropouts in courses before but this is extreme. Our midterm avg was ~50% with 47% failing, and only 19% getting a grade over a C+. Lab report averages are ~50% and half the class dropped out after the midterm.

This class will be the end of me but I ain't going down without a fight

Lost my phone, what to do next

Last night, my phone was misplaced on the 47 U of M bus Im not exactly sure how, whether if someone took it out of my pocket, or I dropped it. All I know is that I had it with me when I got on the bus and didn't have it when I reached home.

For some reason I couldn't track it either with find my iPhone, it kept giving me an old location.

With finals coming up first I need access to UMLearn, how can i do that till i get a replacement?

Will reporting it to the police help?

Will contacting the carrier help?

I have already made a lost property report with transit.

UMSU'S BLATANT NEGLECT OF STUDENT CLUBS - A Petition for Action

Former clubrooms in Helen Glass Centre, October 2024.

Back in 2020, UMSU took away clubrooms in the Helen Glass Centre (rooms 116-127) from clubs, with no consultation from the clubs that relied on these spaces or without passing any motions. This was purely a decision made by the UMSU executives of the time. Despite citing multiple reasons for this decision, it has come at the expense of student clubs. For example, the Photo Club who lost and petitioned for their darkroom back in 2020, continues to face a recurring existential crisis having once again lost their darkroom and being unable to operate.

Replaced by a booking system alleged to improve utilisation, its supposed improvement is dubious. With unsuccessful Freedom of Information (FIPPA) requests as well as inquiries to the Physical Plant, it remains unclear to students how these rooms were and are currently being managed. Limited spaces are often cited as an constraint by UMSU and yet the former darkroom at University Centre 116 has sat empty for years. In fact, all those rooms in the tunnel between University Centre and Armes have been empty since the pandemic - 4 whole years of unused space.

There are even less amenities in UC compared to before the pandemic, with clubrooms shuttered, the Digital Copy and Print Centre gone, as well as the Postal Office and the Pharmacy closed.

Our 13 clubs, representing the social and hobby clubs from across the university, have come together to take action and address the neglect of student life. We are:

  • UMAnime
  • UM Chess Club
  • UM Movie Club
  • UM Model United Nations
  • All Aboard Club (board game club)
  • UM Book Society
  • Musical Kaleidoscope
  • UMEsports
  • UMDnD
  • UM SOMI (Student Organized Market Initiative)
  • UM Pep Band
  • UM Crochet Knitting Enthusiasts
  • UM Photography Club

Because of the neglect of student clubs, we’re petitioning UMSU to dedicate specific clubrooms for hobby and social groups. We plan to introduce motions at the next UMSU Board meeting, calling for an investigation into the use of the former clubrooms.

If the current booking system proves inefficient, we’ll propose reallocating 5 of the 11 rooms for student-run spaces. This includes a student-run library, a games room, a music studio, a networking space, and studio for artists/entrepreneurs, and this would be accessible for ALL students. This would leave 6 rooms available for general booking for other student groups, aside from the 5th-floor University Centre spaces already designated for student groups.

We've tried every avenue with UMSU and recently had a meeting with their executives and their managers about our idea. Their concerns were misaligned away from student needs and more toward their own operational needs. One suggestion by them was to use a public city library, which is counter-intuitive to the aim of campus life. Another point was that these rooms were used for UMSU storage and elections, but this serves their own needs rather than the student body year round. Their most impractical solution was to cart books in and out of the bookable rooms, not thinking of where they would be stored, or the physical effort in hauling books around.

We've come to ask for your help, but change will never happen unless we step up. If you believe student life matters, if you believe in the principle of student self-governance that UMSU is supposed to stand for, this is the time to act. UMSU serves students, not the other way around.

When does deferred final exams usually take place for the fall semester.

Hi, pls if anyone knows, could you let me know when deffered final exams for fall semester takes place. I am taking anatomy and might have to defer the final exam, I searched online and it said I might have to wait for summer, which would not be the best for me, so I want to know if anyone who has deferred or plans on deffering their anatomy exam has any knowledge on whether or not I would be able to write it this year still, or early next year. Thank you.

Return weights properly pls

To the gym community of uofm, pls re rack the weights properly. Saw 25lbs,10lbs,5lbs, and 2.5lbs plates on the incline hammer strength machine for the incline chest press mixed between with the 45s and 35s. I wanted to do some warmup sets and switch to normal sets but the plates that I need r mixed w the plates that belong on the rack by preacher curl machine. Pls be civilized and return the plates where they belong. It is literally abt 10 feet of walk away from the weight rack

Baseless Accusations

Over the past couple days, I have seen four posts from brand new accounts, that are quickly deleted, accusing the Greek system, (particularly AGD) of racism against East Asian people. Where are these accusations coming from? No proof has been offered to support these baseless accusations.

AGD has multiple East Asian and South Asian members. They’re great girls.

From a quick trip to Instagram, one can clearly see that Phi Delt has multiple South Asian members, and Alpha Phi has multiple East and South Asian members. ADPi is currently private on social media.

I am not affiliated with any of the sororities on campus, this does not personally affect me, but you better have a basis and be willing to back it up before you target a whole group of women with such a heinous accusation.

Offer some proof before you slander whole groups of people.
