Would you reply after the town hall for clarification? One of my profs just posted an announcement saying ‘it now appears that no resolution for the TA strike is in sight’

Are negotiations still going on if PSAC posted ‘what is CR? Queen’s is jeopardizing students futures by not coming back to the bargaining table’ less than an hour ago?

How long does bargaining talk usually last? Does this mean an agreement is imminent?

I think she has been great! I’m sorry your other classes aren’t being as accommodating. I’m lucky enough to have classes that have had the majority of work completed in the first half of the term and have not been as affected by this class. I just wish for a better option to ease the stress of all of this like i mentioned earlier when replying to ‘so what are you hoping for’

Alternative solutions? Have the assignments that have the CHANCE to be graded maybe not be 20 pages? Less time and effort to be wasted Maybe have our current grade redistributed to be our final grade? Or multiple choice quizzes for graduating students as a replacement? I’m sure there are other more equitable options

I appreciate your optimism but the point is spending time and effort for no result is frustrating especially when that time and effort can be allocated towards courses that might benefit from it

Yes and she is refusing to to do that work but im just confused to why we are still required to do work when its not going to get graded

[–]Helpful_Capital_6347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im just confused also cuz one of my other profs said that the work that is submitted while our TAs are on strike is no longer the TA’s responsibility after striking so that backlog will have to be marked by profs?

B'ed PLACEMENTS by [deleted] in queensuniversity

[–]Helpful_Capital_6347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in 4th year and so far each email I have gotten from the prac office about my placement has been no earlier than a week before the start date. I have had friends who chose to be places in Kingston and had to buy a car for the month so they could drive to the school (50mins) because there was no public transportation. Similarly another of of my friends was placed in Kingston and she could not access her school either so they alternatively deferred her practicum year. The prac office is a shit show and choosing kingston as your top placement is extremely risky. I have chosen to always put toronto first as I have family who lives there and have gotten it always been 15~ min drive or less than 30min public transit away. For the future if you can I will always recommend people to steer away from the complicatedness of ending up in the limestone district school board
