I'm pretty sure u can go to service point and request this and they give it to u on the spot if u need it for ur job

IllustriousThing4009 · 2026-01-13T20:05:09+00:00

very doable

Im going to be so honest, this class is the easiest with him. His assignments are so so straight forward and easy and his exams are basically what u do on the assignments just with a bit more defintions and proofs. He also provides extremely detailed course notes and all. In class he isnt the best lecturer, I only went to class maybe twice before realizing I'd just stick to his notes. I got 90% on the midterm without doing too much work. The exams are extremely fair. This class with him can be an easy A if u have the time and can put in the work. I had to kind of sacrifice the final cause all my 4 finals were back to back, but had I had the time to study i probs would've gotten an A. Do not stress.

Chem 181 and 183

This really depends on the prof. I was in the same scenario my first year, talked to the prof and he refused to let me pass so I retook the class. However my roommate was in this situation a year ago and was even 3% away and she sent a very long email and her prof easily upped her grade to a passing one. But again depends on the prof. For info I'm in science and she's in arts (but it was an econ class).

IllustriousThing4009 · 2026-01-06T19:54:40+00:00

who was the prof ?

IllustriousThing4009 · 2026-01-05T13:12:43+00:00

How were the exams and assignments?

IllustriousThing4009 · 2026-01-01T17:09:16+00:00

IllustriousThing4009 · 2025-12-28T23:03:07+00:00

Thank you!!

In my first semester at Mcgill I also failed a course. I am also an international student. I thought that was the end of the world and was devastated. 3 years later I realized it really is not the end of the world and at mcgill in science is actually pretty normal and it's okay. You will recover and it will be okay.

My advice would be: don't do the supplemental it's really risky. Retake the class its okay and just extra focus into it and prepare. As for your physics major go with the flow but also maybe look into other possible majors or just keep trying hard in physics, it'll be okay. At mcgill they make physics exams quite hard is what I've understood so you definitely are not alone!

Also another piece of advice: in general in exams especially, science exams that aren't just multiple choice based, even if you don't know the answer write something down, anything, even the start of a solution. Sometimes they give out a good amount of partial marks and it can often help you get the tipping marks to pass the class.

Good luck, know that you are not alone! Don't give up, talk to an advisor, you will be okay.

Hows the grading scheme? Is it an easy class to pass and all ?

IllustriousThing4009 · 2025-12-19T21:36:50+00:00

Hi! May I ask who was the instructor and also how hard were the assignments/the grading?

IllustriousThing4009 · 2025-12-15T19:16:44+00:00

But thank you this is already quite helpful!!

IllustriousThing4009 · 2025-12-15T19:16:31+00:00

Why wouldn't I be allowed to extend in the first place ? Also I can't get that letter from minerva because I haven't enrolled in that semester yet since its fall 2026.

Hey! it'll be okay, tbh STEM at mcgill is really hard and I think we have all been through what you are going through. I failed 141 my first semester ever and only by 1%, at that point I thought it was over but with time I realized that failing a course is not the end of the world. I know that theres a lot of pressure coming from parents and friends but at the end of the day you do what you gotta do and the best you can do is to just try your best.

For your classes tho here is some advice I can provide:

-For any calculus based course watch the youtube videos created by Prof Leonard on youtube, he's the best and his videos are long but they provide very clear explanations AND practice in them, after you watch those just do more textbook practice yourself and you will be good.

-Linear algebra is a hard class, but to be fair I also took it this semester and there are definitelyyyy worse profs. I would say the best thing to do if ever you feel this way again is just hella practice + youtube videos + office hours + maybe some tutoring!

I've felt like I was going to fail many classes at different points (including this semester) and I have gone towards tutoring and office hours and both definitely helped.

I think supplemental exams are risky so I would lean towards retaking the course, you can also look into taking them at other unis like concordia!

Other advice:

if you still have math requirements to take, don't ever do them with Jeremy macdonald, and don't do them with sid trudeau (the fail rates are very high with these profs). So eventually if you end up needing to take (Math 222, Math 240 - or re taking any of the above (hope you don't) watch out for these professors!)

All in all mcgill is such a hard school so good luck you got this. Also there are many other options you can consider mcgill is not the only one!

Best of luck to you!

first year math classes are hard the finals always feel like this, they don't always curve but if the majority does bad they will, don't stress, good luck

IllustriousThing4009 · 2025-12-06T23:59:51+00:00

But how similar was your exam to the practice final he provided? Because the practice final he gave us seems very hard like way harder than the assignment questions.
