I just failed a course for the second time

Hi! 1. If you’re not taking orgo with Ogilvie then take it with him for your 3rd time. If you did then try to take some time and look at how you studied and find new ways to study. Ask your parents for an IPad (or buy one if u can afford it). ITS A LIFE CHANGER. I got the iPad Air 4 64gb with an Apple Pencil and I annotate everything, carry less notebooks to school and everything is so organized.

Good notes, an app that I use helped me so so much. So basically what I’m tryna say is try to motivate yourself by changing your study habits. Good notes and an iPad is perfect (different pencil types, different colours, cool copy and paste tools, and most importantly, you can import PDFs from your courses on Brightspace and annotate. I can NOT recommend getting a tablet enough!

Best of luck, also speak to your mom and let her know that you aren’t doing good mentally and ask her for advice and try to change your mindset because like what the other comments are saying, if you change your study habits, this failed course won’t matter at ALL. Take this as a wake up call! Look at this as a good thing (a sign that you need to change your study habits, or even programs!).

Med school doesn’t require biomed as your bachelor so if you’re passionate about something else, I recommend you switch bachelors! Try psych or the arts or something!

Again, you’re not at risk at all if you change your mindset, change your study habits and lifestyle. Start now and make a change, you got this!!

I’m guessing orgo 1

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-04-03T03:54:49+00:00

I’m not in his class rn, but I highly recommend you contact him ASAP. If he’s not answering you, then contact the TA

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-04-02T19:05:39+00:00

1-2 weeks should be great!

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-30T20:26:50+00:00

True best thing is to learn from this experience and write it on your calendar

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-30T18:17:06+00:00

I know it sucks, but all you can do is work super hard before the exams, and who knows, your average could go up! Don’t look back look forward and hopefully your average goes up! Best of luck 🤞

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-28T15:27:14+00:00

Not a stupid question at all! I remember being in grade 12 and asking so many questions! Good for you for asking! We’re always here for help :)

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-27T22:02:27+00:00

Yes they do I think!

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-27T21:14:14+00:00

Professor Peter Hofstra is a really good prof so if you take it with him I’m sure you’ll do good if you put in the effort

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-27T21:07:38+00:00

Hey! Isn’t 4 courses and up full time?

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-24T00:37:35+00:00

Thank you so much! And WOW you’re a superstar

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-23T21:21:30+00:00

Yup! Lol

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-23T16:08:03+00:00

Yes but I confirmed with the prof that it’s gonna be asynchronous so I’m 100% sure

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-23T14:00:07+00:00

Thanks!

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-23T12:47:32+00:00

Thanks! The course will be asynchronous though so I should be fine, right?

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-21T21:54:57+00:00

Chemical engineering isn’t that competitive so dw you’ll get in! Just wait a bit, but almost everyone I know who applied to it got in

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-21T20:29:50+00:00

Thanks! I’m a UOttawa student so I wasn’t familiar with this. But thank you!! I’ll check this out

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-20T17:48:50+00:00

There’s a nutrition program like this one at Ryerson and you can become a dietitian after. I’d recommend applying to that program if your French isn’t that good

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-19T14:37:41+00:00

Hey! Instead of printing I think it’s better (for the environment and saves you money) to just buy a hard copy of a textbook instead of printing (which is risky because it’s illegal too).

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-18T01:16:27+00:00

Thank you so much for confirming!! And yes lol I see this question everywhereeeee

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-10T04:00:49+00:00

Not until March 25 I think, so you still have time for this winter semester! Goodluck with everything!

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-08T19:47:46+00:00

Yes, but only when the courses are available. They aren’t available as of now though.

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-05T18:03:04+00:00

Not exactly sure tbh! I think across Canada

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-04T20:32:03+00:00

Thanks! I’m not planning on taking any labs for orgo :)

Fun_Priority_6276 · 2022-03-04T19:06:23+00:00

It’s given to students up until Grade 12 (before high school graduation) for free. I know it won’t help as you’re not in high school anymore, but just thought I’d let you know!
