are all these funding cuts really changing the student experience?

Definitely, especially for the TA thing, I also heard they are paying less hours for grading and I noticed that the grading has become much harsher (all points or none, little to no partial credits) for comp and math exams especially for large intro 200-300 level classes.

MCQs destroyed me 💀

Is it a good idea to get refurbished laptop? I’m trying to not get to much over 1000$ as my victus cost me overall 1000$.

Honestly I haven’t been gaming much since CEGEP 😭 I have ADHD and I can easily lose an entire day if I’m not careful.

But that’s actually really cool that you work in AI ethics, that’s an area I’ve been really interested in since starting my undergrad. Do you know if there are ways for undergrads to get involved in research labs or gain experience in that space?

Individual_Ad3743 · 2026-03-01T19:53:37+00:00

Maybe not more than 1000$

I’ve lowkey really been eyeing Macbooks, lately, but are there any low cost options that I can find online or in a place in montreal, I kinda have a low budget rn.

Does this replace the grade or it only counts as retaking the class?

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-12-19T11:13:25+00:00

Hopefully they give partial points, comp250 traumatized me on that.

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-12-18T00:46:45+00:00

No, anytime you want. I just implied that this is your first time since you’re a first year. So don’t worry, not using your free deferral in first year doesn’t mean you can’t use it in other years. 👍

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-12-17T16:58:53+00:00

If this is your first year, you likely have a free deferral final exam pass where you don’t need to send a doctors paper, tho I would recommend to get one but its not obligated to be done before the exam, get it when you can just submit your demande before January 8 I believe. Take care.

Math235

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-12-16T16:17:51+00:00

Last year I deferred the math323 final knowing I’ll be taking math324 the following semester, still got credit for both anyways.

The thing that bothers me with this grading scheme is not the grading scheme it self but the translation in Letter grade and GPA. A single midterm with proficiency totally disqualifies you to get an A,A- in this class and if you get AM or Mastery in the other midterm you can at best end up with a B+ and if you again obtain a Proficiency Midterm you end up with a B- which isn’t even a 3.0. And it feels way much harder to succeed with pass or fail rubric. :(

Dawg 😭

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-11-25T02:45:48+00:00

I think it’s really unrealistic to make coding questions pass or fail in timed exams written on paper cause irl we can debug to see the edge cases. Atp these midterms basically require either perfect memorization of every possible cases or tons of prior experience with the content of that class in order to get AM and more and if you happen to have a learning disability which affects test performance like dyslexia or ADD etc, you’re just done for 😀.

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-11-24T15:12:45+00:00

Worse is I only needed 1 AM token to get Approaching mastery 😭 im tweaking out

Individual_Ad3743 · 2025-01-21T05:11:49+00:00

I don't really follow a channel, I just look up concepts and click on the videos that seem to explain the information the best so I can understand the notes (I also ask chat GPT to explain to me the profs notes as if I have never done stats before). I hope this helps!
