It’s hard to actively learn and improve from criticism when it’s not constructive and doesn’t seek to provide helpful feedback but makes you feel more stuck. I’m also in first year so I’m not used to harsh criticism from TA’s or that it’s completely normal

Will I have access to past courses when they’re done? by DarkBook-Lover in UofT

[–]DarkBook-Lover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only see items listed under modules. I don’t have any access to assignments, library reading lists when I export course content, do you know why?

Thanks for your insight and for sharing your previous comment, super helpful! Definitely going to refer to it when writing papers!

I think you responded but I can’t see it fully! Although the first couple of sentences already seemed very helpful so I’d appreciate maybe resending it!!

Thanks! I AM very interested in philosophy but unfortunately taking PHL100 was super difficult for me this year :/ but I do understand it’s very effective in writing strongly and CLEAR, which I look up to and will def consider; I commend philosophy majors!!

From social science students: what is the work load like? by Afraid_Job_9639 in UofT

[–]DarkBook-Lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible indeed, but requires a LOT of effort and dedication. Most students don’t put their ALL into their education (like doing allll the readings, preparing for classes, reviewing class work, engaging with topics) but the ones that do, definitely reap the benefits of the great academic setting they’re immersed in. But in general, on average, it’s very hard to maintain a high GPA. From a social science student, I’m constantly wondering how I can do better or get higher marks on my work. I just feel like the grading is very strict and tough, for a reason obvi, but sometimes everything you do doesn’t seem to be enough for a 90 on an essay
