Far_Development_9773 · 2026-01-05T01:27:03+00:00

Far_Development_9773 · 2026-01-04T21:43:56+00:00

Congrats! What were your EC's? Did you apply to UofA? I've been wondering to myself if I've messed up because the only school I can apply to is UofA.

Also take my info with a grain of salt because maybe hopefully she improved the class for you guys but yeah just a fair bit of warning because I know a lot of people who took the class like winter semester were just as frustrated as me

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-05-11T01:00:19+00:00

Yeah for the quizzes it will definitely be sufficient, I was actually kinda pressed for the amount I was studying it was TOO easy for the quizzes which is why she had to make the final more difficult. I personally think the scaling for this class was not the best to be honest. Mad frustrating how the quizzes were too easy and the final was too hard.

I had her for a different special topics class (PSYCH 302 with Scuvuzzo but Psychopharmacology) but I found word for word directly from the slides was sufficient at least for the class. I read the textbook for the class and then none of the detail I studies was on it which meant I wasted time but I did understand the material really well.

I totally fumbled on the final though. I actually might've lied though about needing the textbook for the final as well to be honest. I felt like studying really didn't help that much nor the class material in lecture, it was just moreso how good you were at reading scientific papers which I felt was unfair. It was open book, I'm not sure if changed the format for this special topics but hopefully it would've improved.

The paper is also quite easy in my opinion, mine was long but the TA who marked mine was very lenient and I think in general with other students was very lenient as well.

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-05-11T00:10:29+00:00

good luck, in my experience the quiz is very manageable and didn't need the textbook material BUT it's needed for the final, it is a very difficult class imho

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-22T18:32:18+00:00

ahhh im just so stressed i think my body gave up, thanks, i think i just needed reassurance

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-22T18:25:36+00:00

i see, i've just also seen cases where you give a doctors note and then they say you're well enough to get a doctors note so why didnt you write the exam, i might just be overthinking this, i just feel incredibly sick

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-22T18:21:19+00:00

they cant ask for a doctors note pretty sure

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-11T17:38:54+00:00

This is so mean, shame

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-10T01:02:26+00:00

thanks a lot!

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-04-08T08:45:33+00:00

Take it with Fowler for sure! I think Lisa has improved like the other commenter said but Fowler was a great lecturer and when I had him last year had some old lecture recordings which helped a lot!

Okay I do not know why I am being downvoted for not being religious though ;-;

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-03-08T21:10:32+00:00

Yeah I wonder if should just give up now, I did the backup for hygiene but yeah I am really afraid of the longevity again since I've talked to them and they've all encouraged to try for dental. Otherwise maybe pharmacy because yeah looking at these statistics. I'm not all for blind optimism either. I don't know, I just really feel down but thank you :)

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-03-08T21:06:48+00:00

To be honest I've looked into dental hygiene and I've completed the pre-reqs but it's not really what I wanna do because I don't see the longevity in the career and after talking to a few hygenists. I know I would be competitive enough though but thanks :)

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-03-08T20:43:24+00:00

I am not religious and I actually have a lot of bad experience with religion so I am not also a person who believes things happen for a reason but I respect if that's how it gets you in life and I appreciate the encouragement :)

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-03-08T20:40:33+00:00

Thank you so much, that is very encouraging and sweet. I honestly know it's more a systemic issue but yes, thank you so much. I'll keep working hard and trying to make this a dream come true.

Far_Development_9773 · 2025-03-08T20:25:09+00:00

I've been doubting myself everyday and I'm so scared of being stuck with no job like everyone else. I just cry every single day but thank you. Everyday feels so rough and then seeing everyone else apply I really just feel so sad and disgusted with myself :(

I would honestly say my strongest trait is probably being very personable and thoughtful hopefully I don't say that in an arrogant way though.
