My exam is tomorrow, I might pass I might fail, but if I fail, what do I do and what are some like repercussions I'm going to face?

Just some tips from someone who’s taking the course. This advice also applies to the other 2 physics courses (1300 and 1070).

1. Never ask for a different quiz time schedule, because you wont be able to mark the paper with the TA if you did that. Make sure to book your quiz on time, and ensure that you have time to stay and see the TA marking your paper.

2. Its very important that you do relatively well (if not very well), before you even enter your finals. Ideally you should be passing the course even before the finals, due to how difficult the finals can get (even if you did well in the quizzes and lab).

3. To get a decent grade on the quizzes, you just need to use the relevant equations, and “convince” the TA that you understand a huge chunks of it. So by any means, use your own words, draw your own diagrams, shoot several answers, and they’ll award you with marks, even if the answer is not 100% precise.

4. Do your best to score really high on the labs and pre test quiz. Use every resources available to you, be it chat gpt, quizlet, studocu, etc. It greatly boosts your score and gives you buffer incase you failed some of your quizzes

5. lectures can be extremely useful, but if you’re someone who seems not to be able to grasp the concept when the prof is explaining it you, then feel free to self study it. I’d still come to lecture, personally, but just to keep me checked and it’s good for my overall discipline

6. Rob Wickham and James Howard made the best lecture slides, their questions is really all you need to succeed in the quizzes. Though, don’t be discouraged to look further out in the internet for more examples.

Thoughts?

To get by the personal attack rule, I won't mention names, but it should be fairly easy to figure out who these people are.

Two landlords work together and have a monopoly over the housing market in Guelph because they own a shit ton of units. They dictate the housing pricing as they can jack up all their units, so other landlords will follow. They are the shadiest landlords that won't fix your heating if it breaks down during the winter, or illegally evict you/create a new lease without the current tenant knowing

Don't rent with them, and they'll be forced to change.

Their emails are similar to studentrentals + location@gmail.com

Remember, strength in numbers

Hello,

Last Friday, I had to go home unexpectedly and missed the last lecture for STAT*2060 (PM time slot). I was wondering if anyone who attended either lectures knows if he said anything about the format of the final tomorrow? On the mock it says to pick 3/4 questions to complete but there's 6 questions.

Thank you and please let me know :)

does anyone know if you're deferring an online exam if it will remain online when you have to eventually write it the next semester or is it entirely up to the prof? what's people's experience been with this

Does anyone else have zero motivation or discipline to study this year. I'm in third year and just want to get my degree and get outta here. Yes I've tried all the "study tricks" and whatnot. I'm just waiting for my exam days to be over.

I feel confident, which is usually bad for me. How did y’all find it?

hey everyone,

good luck with exams!

quick question:

does anyone know the avg cost for how much one online / de summer course would cost? i’m looking to do a DE summer course just to make up a 0.5 credit, so was wondering the cost for it. and if anyone knows how osap goes about it? does anyone have experience with taking an online course and receiving osap - did osap cover it entirely?

sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask. thanks for all ur help. best of luck with exams :)

It is honestly not a long shot to say I might fail this course — I need a 75 on the final to PASS. I’m really disappointed in myself because i’m actually quite good at chemistry, it’s just I went into university on the wrong foot and have kinda just been trying to claw my way through. I’ve already dropped two courses, and i’m practically failing the three that i’m in right now, it’s just not looking too hot for me. I want to succeed, and I know I can, I just don’t really know what to do from here. I feel trapped in my failure.

I want to declare a minor that is absolutely unrelated to engineering. Are there any restrictions on what minors I can take, or can the minor be completely separate from my major?

Just finished an exam with 45 multiple choice questions and some short answer questions. only had enough time at the end to go over about 20 of my multiple choice answers and they were all pretty much correct. didn’t have time to go over the rest which is why i’m so restless and paranoid that i may have put the wrong answer for a question or skipped one which affects all the answers for the subsequent questions. anyone else ever felt this way? how do i stop overthinking it😭

I’ve been driving to campus these past few weeks cuz I’ve been sleeping in and missing the bus. Anyways, my car isn’t registered to a permit or my name but I’ve gotten two tickets these past few weeks, at what point will they tow me?

any insight on this exam with dr. mutch. need a 36% on the exam to pass idk if it’s possible any help is greatly appreciated

any insights on this exam?? PLS anything will help. so stressed. any notes would be great as well.

Since everyone’s posting the campus squirrels I thought I’d share one from this morning

I heard a lot of first years are already finding houses with their friends for next year. I don’t have any friends, what should I do? Is there a good website for finding living arrangements with strangers?

I'm a Canadian who has completed her first year of veterinary school in Australia (OVC was too competitive) and am now back in Canada in between my school years. My veterinary school requires students to complete 5 days of placements with each of these animals; dairy cattle, beef cattle, horses and sheep. I was just wondering if OVC students had to do the same and if anyone had recommendations for any places that are accepting of veterinary students for placements (even if they do not attend OVC)?

Thank you!!!

Hey guys! I am a psychology student interested in arduino I found the course ENGG3490 however it has prerequisites that I don't think I'll be able to get as I'm going into my last yr

Does anyone reccomend any other courses? No prerequisites and above level 1000 (I have no 1000 courses left that I could take)

Thank you!!!

I could've sworn there was a Canada flag on the top of the entrance to Johnston. Does anyone know why it's not there anymore?

my final is a week today. past takers of this course, how bad was it? not my first business course obvs so I am well versed with the clusterfuck of terms (e.g. marketing, intro to canadian business) but HROB is its own demon.

any tips are welcomedddd

Hi! For those of you taking this course, are you able to access the skills assessment part of the exam? I’m getting a 404 Error message whenever I open up one of the links 🥲

I’ve already emailed the prof but wanted to see if anyone else has this problem too

(it's gonna be brutal. Hopefully they plow the side roads 😭)

Hello, does anyone know how much courses would cost if I took them during a fall/winter co-op work term? I know in the summer you are charged per course but in the fall and winter it is the full time price.

if you have a coop work term during the fall or winter but take one or two academic courses during those semesters are you charged per course or is it still a flat semester fee?

Two weeks of studying and exams then we all get a 3 week winter break. Good luck on Exams!!!

I have a really heavy course load for next sem so I was wondering if anyone knows some easy electives i can take. It should be something i can easily balance with a bunch of science courses. Thank you in advance:))

I’m transferring this winter fingers crossed, anyone in the program, how is the program ? Are the professors chill ?
