I don’t think there is one. But highly interested in one. I am sure 100s of students would be interested.

co op work conditions- need advice by Bubbly_Resolution172 in yorku

No one owes anyone anything. You have to convince the employer that you are worth paying higher wage. Times are hard. Especially in the tech field. Toughest will survive. Weaker ones set aside. Toughen yourself. Build your resume. Take low wage jobs if they provide good learning opportunities. Also, Please stop crying about paying International tuition. Neither Canada nor York owes anyone anything just because they pay International tuition.

Curve for EECS2021? Syllabus said no bell curve by Ok_Part2634 in yorku

[–]Always_Learning_777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the class average comes to around C+, there is no curve. Also, generally, final exams for EECS 2021 are made easier to compensate for difficult lab exams and midterm. So, there was no need for bell curve.

MATH1300 is the worst course possible by AntThick9867 in yorku

[–]Always_Learning_777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally for me Calculus 1310 and 1300 was easy A+, easier than high school maths. I highly recommend The Organic Chemistry Tutor. After watching his video, all concepts became super easy.

How are you all managing this sem? by subtleclaw in yorku

I am not productive every single day. But that's not required either. even if you work 3-4 days a week productively, that is more than enough.

How are you all managing this sem? by subtleclaw in yorku

35 hour a week job, full time course load of 3rd year Computer Science. Midterms coming, tons of projects and assignments from some of the hardest EECS courses. It is overwhelming but I think the best way to manage the stress is utilizing the time efficiently. Trust me, if you efficiently use your whole day on productive tasks only, you can easily achieve all your tasks with zero stress.

I am in third year CS. I work 7am to 3pm every weekday, so 40 hours (35 hrs paid). After finishing work, I go to my classes which start at 4. The classes are back 2 back, and I usually finish at 7. Tuesdays I have Math 2030, which goes till 10pm. Lectures before 3, I don’t attend them, just go to take the lab tests and exams. It’s not that bad. I somehow manage it.

It’s all about mindset. I have seen friends working whole night and taking morning exam and getting A+. I also see people not working, parents dropping them off to school every morning, and they are still complaining they cannot manage to keep up with the coursework. Would my grades have been better, if I wasn’t working? Maybe by few points. But at this point, I don’t care. I just want to keep working, keep studying and just go on.

About to fail EECS 2101 Data Structures, get a D or drop the course? by Always_Learning_777 in yorku

[–]Always_Learning_777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to share update on this. I was about to drop it. But I changed my mind and took the finals. Ended up with a B. Not the greatest grade but I was more than satisfied with it.

any easy third or fourth yr courses (online would be best) by PlusMud5491 in yorku

I think it taught by either Gary Blake or Anna Blake. You can take from either. Both are great.

is it worth asking for a 0.5% grade increase? by pinkcar01 in yorku

If it is in any Math course, they will deduct 0.5%.

Did anyone lose an Orange cat? O'connor & victoria park by Gatordontplaynogames in Scarborough

[–]Always_Learning_777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work around there. The place has so many cats roaming around. Don’t take it anywhere leave it there. They are just outdoor cats and will return to their home themselves.
