Are Final Grades Rounded?

I noticed on the OTU website the percentages shown are integers. So If I got a 89.5 or 79.5, would these be rounded up or rounded down? Thank you!

what happens when you fail the lab portion of PHY1010u

i know that in order to pass the whole course you need at least a 50% on the lab portion but what happens when you get below a 50% on the lab but a decent grade in the overall course? do you have to retake the entire course or is there an option to just redo the lab portion? any help or advice is appreciated.

How does retaking a course (in the summer) with a consecutive prerequisite work?

I’m doing really badly in physics 1 and just want to know how things will work if I fail and can’t take physics 2 next semester.

I’m guessing I have to take physics 1 again next semester instead of physics 2, then would I have to take physics 2 in the summer? And if so how do summer courses work, where can I see specific info on this? I just want to know how things work. Thanks.

Startup Opportunity

Hi Everyone,

I am a Durham resident and an entrepreneur. I want to present the following opportunity to two people who are interested.

I am building a web and mobile app for local Durham residents to find dates, friends and activity partners. I thought what could be best than to present the opportunity to Ontario Tech students. I am looking for two people, who can help me build an MVP from scratch, and hopefully develop and maintain the full app once we succeed.

Ideal profile

  • Lead the Tech and Product Development: Take charge of the technical architecture, development, and roadmap. You’d have a lot of autonomy to make technical decisions, and you’d be involved in every aspect of product development.
  • Full Stack: Possess knowledge/experience in full stack development. You could both have experience in this field, or one can be an expert in front end and other in backend.
  • Build, Test, and Iterate: I’m looking for someone with a strong drive to create and test quickly. I’m not aiming for perfection in the MVP; I’m aiming for validation and a product we can be proud of together.
  • Split or Own Design: We can discuss design; if it’s not your strong suit. We could hire someone later, but if UI/UX something you can own, that’s a huge bonus.
  • Collaborate and Communicate: This isn’t a solo mission for either of us; I want someone who’s ready to work openly, share ideas, meet regularly and work collaboratively through every step.

What has been done so far:

I have 140 signups so far, who are eagerly waiting for the first version of the app. I am not a developer, so I used no code tools such as Softr and Airtable to build an MVP, but I am hitting roadblocks due to the platform's limitations. I have the requirements clearly laid out for the MVP in Jira. I have a monetization plan.

What's in it for you:

I have two options, choose what you like -

  • Contractor: $CAD 1,000 to build the app in next two months. For two people, it will be $500 each.
  • Equity: If you think long term, I will offer a fair Equity Model. You will be partners in the company and will own the technical development and maintenance of the app. Ask me more about this if you are curious.

It will be a great learning opportunity by working on a real-life startup app. It could look great on your resume as it would differentiate yourself from others.

More about me:

I am in my late 40s, and I currently work with a large bank in Canada (yes, this is a side gig for me). I possess more than 20 years of experience in Product Management, Sourcing/Vendor Management and Sales. I am an MBA grad (2013) from Schulich School of Business (York U). I have some experience in building apps, and I will act as Business Partner and as a Product Manager for this gig.

I know someone, who graduated from Ontario Tech University as a software engineer, so I know UOIT has some of the greatest minds. If you are ready to show the world what you are made of, please comment below, send me a DM or write to me at durhamdateson@gmail.com

Selection Process:

  • You will send me your resume
  • You will send me a one pager on
    • your short-term and long-term goals. Why do you want to do this project?
    • How would you approach this project if you were doing it alone?
    • What tech stack would you use and what features would you enable?
    • How much time can you dedicate every week towards this project? I understand you guys are still in school.
  • I will reach out to the shortlisted candidates over email for a phone conversation.
  • I will schedule a face-to-face coffee chat
  • I will make a final decision and communicate to the selected.

Do you need to pass the final to pass a course?

I was calculating my grades and realized I need less then a 50 on the final to pass a few courses, but wanted to know if I need a 50 on the final no matter my past marks, just to pass the course?

Forensic Psychology courses

Im looking into the required courses for first years, and I noticed they recently updated it, adding essentials of biology (1841U). It wasn’t there when I looked at it a couple of weeks ago. Do you guys think it will be a mandated course regardless of the fact I’m taking high school biology, or will I be able to exempt that course.

Also, will I be able to take any of those courses in the summer? How will I be able to check?

Nursing student advice

Hey students at uoit! So recently I got accepted into the bachelor of nursing program (was really excited about that 🤩). I’m eager to start but I’m a bit worried in regards to my social life and also maintaining good physical and mental health. I’ve heard a bunch of horror stories of nursing programs at other schools and how demanding they are. I’ve never been the best with time management but want to genuinely have fun doing the program, make some great friends, and have a good balance. Is such a thing possible for us students? Or should I consider getting into a different uoit program?

If so, what would you recommend? I’m looking for a more hands on job that pays well 💰🤑

Masters in IT Security

Hey! I am planning to do a Cybersecurity Masters and was considering Ontario Tech. I haven't heard much about this program from students and was wondering what you guys think of it in terms of the knowledge you attain, how helpful the AI component of the program is in real-world scenarios and the professional network you develop within the program.

Networking IT Security Vs. Computer Science

Hi! I’m a grade 12 student considering going to Ontario Tech for either networking IT security or computer science. I’m not too strong in math, but I did notice some of the material(especially in comp sci) seems really loaded on maths and physics. For those who are in these programs, how do you like the program? For computer science, is it very technical and heavy on math/physics? And does the IT security give in-depth knowledge for future job placements in software development fields?

Dropping advanced functions

Hello I am a grade 12 student wanting to enrol next year in networking security it program. I currently have 3 classes this semester including advanced functions I want to drop advanced function this semester as I have a 66 that means I will have 2 classes in first semester I plan to take it in night school next semester. Will Ontario tech look at my application differently as I don’t have advanced functions in first semester and taking most of my classes in second semester?
