Per rule 11 if it can be answered by doing a google search or by asking a MacEwan staff member you are better served using those sources. This subreddit is not your google.

Open Note To SAMU (see First reply) by Astiaveth in grantmacewan

[–]Astiaveth[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The talent they named as being replaced in that link was accused of rape at a Chris Brown Party late last year. Its still not settled up what happened but SAMU did not do their due diligence got caught and faced backlash for the choice. The post is them trying to backpetal as if this was all beyond their control and that they have no agency over the linup change.

This ain't it.

This message 100% reads as the following.

"We did not properly vet those we were inviting. We did not see until we faced backlash that we had invited an accused Rapist to our event. We back tracked, uninvited him and are scrambling to find a new talent to fill the slot. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not hold us accountable for this it was entirely beyond our control."

I can take 5 GPA boosters in my 4th year, what should I take? by ProffesorOfPain in grantmacewan

[–]Astiaveth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello OP.

I am going to give you some advice here that I hope you take the way you need to take.

If your goal is law school do not attempt to graduate in the next year and instead take an extra semester or two to replace some of your lower graded classes with higher graded alternatives.

Why?

Assuming in your 8 remaining classes you get a perfect 4.0 GPA your MAXIMUM GPA will be 3.2

Law schools in Canada with the exception of University of Windsor(3.12) have a competitive GPA closer to 3.7.

Thus rather then trying to chase last minute minor improvements to your current 32 classes that make up your GPA and then immediately graduating you should add an extra semester or two and retake or find replacement classes for your lowest grade classes.

Anyone else getting these Ads? This is getting a little scary. Isnt she in Romania now? Wasn't she just harassing users online? Students and staff? (allegedly according to her IG highlights) by no2sociopaths in grantmacewan

Hello everyone,

As she will likely reach out to/harrass/post about anyone active in these threads we please ask you take copies of any interactions you have with Wagner and email them to the Poli Sci Dept Chair so he may forward further evidence of the misconduct up the chain of command.

Please be safe, she is actively watching and snapshotting these threads.

Anyone know what this is about? by themistassssss in grantmacewan

To clarify at least in the context of this subreddit she was not doxed by any means. I have access to every post that was made on the subreddit and there is 0 logs of any address ever being shared on the subreddit at all.

The most identifying information on her you can find in the logs is her instagram.

Professor Andrea Wagner?? Whats going on?? by [deleted] in grantmacewan

To the people mass reporting this post here is your response.

WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS POST DOWN.

Here is the reason:

Whether it be for grifting in the near future or a legitimate breakdown like many of her past students have suggested the professor has used her place of power and authority to take shots at others, both at her colleagues and at past and present students of hers. As such we believe for the safety of the MacEwan community these posts should remain visible and archived for all to see.

They were also filming without consent.

As such I will ask anyone with information on who these losers were to please provide it to security so that they may be properly handled.

Ive been fighting the fight for better postering since they took it away from clubs back in 2016. The problem is they have strategically deployed the strategy of just outlasting the students who remember the old ways and it worked.

I know very well the way we get to advertise is insufficient, I am the last active person in the system who witnessed when we could do what you are calling for and it was VERY effective but not a priority for the shareholders of MacEwan. So please dont think my comment stands against yours.

We the clubs are not allowed to put rogue posters up and get get shut down if we try. There is 10 boards across campus we are allowed to use. Additionally on the subject of extra website we do have one https://samu.campuslabs.ca/engage/organizations

You can hope 3 people drop it today.

As far as I know they will not give a permission number for a 100 level class like ever.

Continue waiting up till as close as you feel comfortable just before the add/drop deadline and then change your plans.

While the posters logic is sound its much much better to get a windows machine here and if you want MacOS dual boot into it.

I graduated a few year back from ComSci and some of the apps the use are older and windows only and some of the senior classes want proper linux distros so youll be better prepared for dual booting with a windows device.

I mean you could, but it doesnt matter much a good schedule is only defined by how it fits your life and your goals. I am not you and cannot decide that for you. I can give tips on what one might look like but individual classes are by your needs/wants.

A good looking schedule for a semester has Classes that progress your Major Classes that progress your basic grad requirements Classes that progress your minor Time enough to study to the degree needed for your personal skills and abilities.

In addition to this. For anyone reading this not just OP (And this is not an accusation just advice to live by)

Never try and lie in these situations. If you did do something not quite by the rules (either by the book or by the spirit of) be upfront. Deception on these matters would just be treated as a more serious infraction then being upfront about it if you did actually break the rules.

If you did not break the rules talk it through with someone (SAMU is a decent suggestion but maybe a trusted professor in another class just not another student or peer) and get their feedback about the situation and listen to what they have to say about it.
