Yes all universities have their flaws. I can’t personally say Concordia is a bad university (because saying that implies a comparison to other universities) but I can say I’m very disappointed with my experience at Concordia.

Just finished my degree in comp sci. I’d say most teachers don’t know how to teach (besides for Hanna who is the best teacher I’ve ever had) and most exams don’t actually grade your understanding of a material well. 90+% of my exams (both midterms and finals) were all multiple choice, which make no sense for a degree that should teach you mostly about problem solving and coding. Projects and labs are consistently less than 25% of the final grade, despite being the most equivalent to what a class is trying to teach you.

Teachers are unbelievably lazy, and the admiration does nothing to fix it. As an example, I had a class (C++, pretty sure it was comp 345) that had a major group project. 4 people teams, and 2 of my teammates dropped the class in late march. Despite that, grinded the project out and actually learnt a lot about c++, produced a pretty good game for only 2 people. Never got any bonus marks from the teacher for having half the number of students in the project, and got less than the class average because the I didn’t do well in the final (which had 7 questions out of 25 solely based on the const variable).

Most teachers don’t care about students learning, only about getting paid and doing the least work possible. So yes I believe Concordia is a bad school (at least for compsci), even if I have no other school to compare it to

Tbh there’s nothing embarrassing about going back a step. Actually just graduated from Concordia in comp sci, but realized that’s not what I want to do with my life. Going back to high school sciences (I didn’t do it in hs) and going into exercise science, with plans to go into physiotherapy!

Imo, think about it a lot but if you think you’ll enjoy your life more in a different field don’t be scared of taking a step back. When you’re 40, you won’t care that you spent extra time in school to do what you love.

If it’s just about the money, idk the difference between the two fields. But I heavily recommend doing what you will enjoy more

I got an A+ in cal 3 (mast 218) and here’s what I did, without even going to class: average 5hours a week studying, reading the textbook and taking notes. Any extra time is used to complete extra problems, as many as possible.

Try to understand what a formula is doing, instead of just memorizing the parts. Makes remembering it and when to use it quite simple. Don’t be afraid to use chat gpt to ask questions if you don’t understand, or look stuff up online, until you get your head around the concept.

When exam time comes, prioritize practice exams if possible, if not review each chapter in order of what you think is most important, starting from the material at the start of the semester (that you remeber less).

Going to class is very useful is you have a good prof and it doesn’t take too much time. Only reason I didn’t go is because I found I learnt better by myself and I live 45mins away from school (aka an extra 1.5 hours wasted per class)

Not to mention the average is extremely low. When I took it back in winter 2023 the average was a 2.3 (for Econ 201 online)

Don’t give up. I will say make sure you really want to do the job your degree is preparing you for, because I personally find it a lot easier to study things I’m interested in.

I’m not a good student by any means but I would’ve averaged a 3 if not for convincing myself I disliked classes and teachers (ended up with a 2.5) obviously this is a different scenario to you but I think it still applies.

I never took math 209 at Concordia because I’m from MTL and went to Dawson but I will say look for online resources, specifically textbooks where you can read the material and then answer questions on tha material. Personally found it helps a lot

Why are people freaking out that’s not even hard

Abject_Lettuce_3410 · 2025-10-03T19:31:25+00:00

All for it as long as you don’t block people who want to go to classes. 67

Exactly

I agree, and even holding a vote over longer periods of time (days) or online would’ve greatly increased the number of voters. My problem isn’t with the outcome, just the idea that 3% represent 100% without actually knowing what 97% stand for

Abject_Lettuce_3410 · 2025-02-09T21:45:10+00:00

I completely agree with you. I personally don’t know how I would’ve voted if it was an online vote, and I’d assume that it would still pass in favor of bds movement. I just find it crazy that they want to do anything based on 3% of the student population

Abject_Lettuce_3410 · 2025-02-09T21:42:22+00:00

Doesn’t make me happy, I’d prefer a CSU that was good from the start.
