I was under the impression that if you had a loan, you don’t have to worry about paying anything yourself since the government does it for you.

did anyone attend the online study session that was held on saturday at 4:00 for health studies 110.

Will we find out before the reading week or is the wait till early march?

I know registration opens on the 12th, so is the list of available classes all that’s being offered? Or are more added closer to the date?

Was hoping to take MATH 102 🙏

I am currently an 11th grade student who will be applying for university early admission this October. I am wondering how the best and brightest scholarship and competitive entrance scholarship applications look and what I should expect? I know that the admission average is based on the average of 5 of your classes, and I'm wondering if this is anything similar. I have been working mostly the hardest in those classes which I will submit for my admission average and am wondering if I should spread my effort out more evenly. I am also doing extracurricular activities like volunteer work and competitions as well as sports, tutoring, basketball minor official, and other awards and achievements. I just want some insight on things I should focus on for the applications and what the process is like (do I need a reference letter, do they calculate your average differently, etc). Thanks to anyone who responds!

it's online with James Reichert! I was hoping someone could give some insight on what his questions are like? 🙏

I’ve been trying to submit my application for the last 2 days and it’s $120 which I got the cash for but everytime I try I get this. “There was a problem processing your request: Transaction Provider returned a declined message. The transaction was declined. The charge on your credit card is not successful. Please try again or use a different card.”. I’ve already used my cards two times today on two different websites and it worked. So now I’m just wondering if there is some other way I could pay?

Is Psychology a good course to study?

I'm in an online English class and there's a dude that is so obviously using ai to respond to the discussion board its funny. Like cmon man.

I'm currently in POLS-222 online and it is an insane amount of reading compared to what I am used to. It's 50-90 pages per week. How does this compare to INDG-107 and HIST-195 online? Do those other classes have lecture videos? POLS-222 has like a 20 minute video per week and the rest is just reading.

Obviously INDG-107 in person has less reading but I have heard from multiple people that that class is terrible for other reasons.

Planning on going into law and I’m considering philosophy, English or political studies, leaning toward philosophy though.

What is the department like? How small is it and how do you find the classes/faculty? Interested in hearing any thoughts or insights :-)

I just wanted to put this out there for people considering doing TOX-110.

TOX-110 is the replacement for TOX-200, my friend did TOX-200 in fall 2023 and I did TOX-110 in fall 2024. Instead of 10 multiple choice exams being the entirety of your grade, it is now 5 quizes worth 10%, a written answer Midterm worth 30% and a written answer final worth 60%.

Everything is still online and open book, and the average on both exams were ~80% so it's still not a super hard class my any means.

I still liked the class and thought the material was quite interesting but I just want to let everyone know that it is not the cake walk it once was.

Yeah, i’m financially struggling… any places/ tips on finding an income? QwQ

Hello!

I am planning on attending Usask as a 2nd year transfer student in the fall. I live in small town Alberta, and it’s really important for me to get into residence as i have mobility issues and it would make my life so much easier

Is it hard to get a room? I know with some schools the chances of getting in residence without having first year guarantee is pretty slim.

Thanks!! 💚

I am interested in taking Intro to Christianity(221) or Perspectives on Jesus(225) next fall. I have a family background in Christianity that I would like to reconnect with and learn more about Jesus and the Gospel. But, I have seen some nasty reviews of the couple of professors that seem to be teaching these classes. Just wondering if anyone that has taken these classes in the last couple of years has some insight towards their professors and how their experience was. I want to learn lots, but not have to work overtime to keep decent grades while dealing with my Finance major classes. Thanks!

Hello if anyone’s read this book and would like to help me out w this question I would be eternally grateful.

How can one decolonize their perspective of okankwo as a character, focusing on his actions and motivations WITHOUT relying on problematic cultural essentialisms.

I don’t know how to write this without depending on the cultural essentialisms part 🥲. Still doing my brainstorming but if anyone here has any advice pls let me know thank u!

First of all learn to kiss so that you aren’t sounding like you’re eating each other

Second what possessed you to make out on the 6th floor when it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, you weren’t being quiet btw the giggling and make out sounds were give away to who it was

Third, it’s midterm season do it somewhere else I’m trying not to crash out over my midterms and you’re my last straw

-Sincerely the person behind you who’s headphones died

Pls let me know if you see a gold chain w dolphins and hearts on it. I acc begging. Its also kind of small

I am an alberta upgrading student when applying do i apply as high school student or mature student cause i want to get into engineering im upgrading math 30-1, physics and chemistry 30

Anyone who has taken Intro to Cog Psy with Riechert… how important is it that I read the textbook? A lot of exam questions from the book itself or are lectures adequate?

I used to workout at home with my own weights but since I have a busy schedule this term (8am-4pm) I’m debating if I should workout at the PAC gym on my breaks between classes. I’ve never done this before, is it free for students, where is the room and what’s the overall atmosphere/environment like?? Anything else I should know before starting this routine? Sauna, lockers or massage chairs free also if they have them?

I was trying to avoid taking this class but it looks like I have to take it to graduate as other classes don't fit my schedule. If anyone has taken this class, can you tell me what you thought of it? How hard the class was? What is the best way to do good in this class? How good or bad the prof was?

Thanks!

The harveys crew is kind enough quietly call you over to let you know your card declined unlike most of the timmies on campus who just shout out that your card declined in front of everyone

How is he grading wise? And how are his midterms, I see he’s a new professor so I can’t find any information on rate my prof

All USask students and staff are able to get free N95 respirators, supplied by USask.

Just stop by the Info Centre at Upper Place and ask for n95 masks. You'll get a bag of 5 3M Aura respirators, no questions asked.

These can be reworn many times until they are no longer fitting as snug or become dirty. I wear my n95 respirators at least 40 hours before I swap out a new one.

N95 respirators can help protect you from airborne viruses, including covid, flu, whooping cough, and measles.

You can also borrow a Aranet4 carbon dioxide monitor from the public library (not usask library) for free to monitor air quality on campus or wherever.

I'm a USask staff who wears an n95 respirator all the time indoors in public, and would like to avoid getting covid, so the more folks in my community who avoid covid also keeps me healthy.

Feel free to ask me any other questions about being covid safe!

I don't know if I just have low cold tolerance but why are the buses as cold as outside. Can't they turn on the heaters? A lot of the time, the bus gets delayed and after standing in the cold, I get into the bus and it's cold in the bus as well. Is it just me? Today I was freezing on my way to class.

i'm so tired of people taking advantage of the low sensory room. i don't mean people just using it but i mean the people who leave their stuff in there all day so they can go to class and have a reserved spot. there's such limited space and you go in and half the cubbies don't even have people there, just jackets, bags, and chargers.

sorry rant over, i'm just sick of going in and half the room is vacant desks you can't even sit at. i don't even know if i could go to library staff about it because unless they stay to watch there's no way of showing how long someone has left for.

Is it just me or is it rude to talk/whisper in class? I’m not talking about just one or two sentences, i’m talking about these people who go on and on and on for the entire class. If you’re not there to study, let the other. It is extremely distracting, and as much as you think you’re being quiet, you’re not! I could hear your entire conversation, and your whispering is loud 😭

TL;DR I'm looking for Indigenous history in Canada documentaries/videos that I can watch to replace some of the heavy amounts of reading this prof has assigned us.

Has anyone taken this class or a similar class and found any online videos that talks about the info in the textbooks?

This class is killing me. I have a 90 average and I swear to god this prof is going to ruin that for me. The entire course is a shit show, she is, hands down, the worst prof I've ever had. She seems to have no idea what she is doing. She uploaded the course several days late with no apology or explanation. She gave us a quiz with a question that had literally nothing to do with any of the content we've learned so far in the module and doesn't care at all. The best part was when she told me I needed to do a thesis for this class, so I spent several hours working on the project, and when I reached out to her to ask for clarification on something to do with the thesis, she said "I gave you the wrong information before. There is no thesis or essay at all in this class." She didn't change it on the syllabus or send out a notification to the rest of the class. And since it is it is a self-directed online class, we only have our syllabus, modules, and announcements to go off, if she decides she wants to send one out. I also have no idea why we have SO many assignments, but not a single one of them has anything to do with Indigenous Studies. It is all about how to write an essay, but the class doesn't even have an essay. Not one single assignment or quiz has anything to do with Indigenous Studies. I don't get it.

Emailing back and forth with her has been infuriating. She's the only prof I have ever had who seems to not be able to articulate her thoughts or to explain something. Each time I ask her a question, her response leaves me even more confused than I was in the first place. She is the only prof I have ever experienced this with. And with her 1.5 star rating on Rate My Prof, I can see why.

Anyway, this whole situation has left me overwhelmed. It's too late to drop the class without losing money and losing my full time funding status, so that's out of the question. She is VERY heavy on the reading. Like every single week she uploads 5-10 documents to read, and assigns TWO or even THREE chapters out of 2-3 different textbooks. I'm literally drowning in this fucking class, and for what? So I can do exams and quizzes and assignments on writing an essay that I'm never going to write?!

If you've made it this far, I'm just looking for some videos/documentaries etc that I can maybe watch instead of reading 2 textbook chapters plus 10 documents each week. This class is about Indigenous history in Canada, so there must be some stuff like that out there. Maybe someone has some sources?

Hello, i have been wondering about this, usually bigger classes record the lecture. James have talked about recordings, videos , and stuffs on the first day. But I cant seem to find these recordings(even in ponopto).

Does he not record lectures? Or i cant just find them.
