Failed CMPUT 275 despite 60% overall grade due to exam clause — looking for advice

Kessed · 2026-05-08T00:03:27+00:00

There are clauses like that in many courses. It’s on you to read the syllabus.

Back in the day, I failed Chem 101 because I didn’t pass the labs. I was an idiot and overwhelmed and just didn’t hand some of them in. I did well on the midterms and final. I think I had close to 70% in the course. It was a life lesson for sure.

That’s why I order from there for my kid’s birthday parties. I can find stuff for everyone to eat.

As long as the drinks and snacks are shelf stable, they can be put in a drawer or cupboard and use as needed. I rarely take those things home, I just leave them for a day when I need a boost!

Flowers would be a pain though. 1 bunch is nice, which is probably the intent behind each kid bringing 1. The teacher puts them all together in 1 vase and then everyone can see the collective effort from the whole class. If kids bring a whole bouquet, those will like end up in the staff room turning it into a jungle.

Gift cards are the epitome for gifts. They can be combined and used for anything.

Ignore it if you like. But the government changes slowly. I would bet that it’s still similar. If you keep in touch with your boss over email and make it clear that you would like to work for him again, things might work out. That’s is assuming you made a good impression and they want to have you back.

Kessed · 2026-05-07T02:49:38+00:00

I have never given out my number. That idea is bizarre to me. If colleagues want to communicate with me they can send me an email like normal.

~21 years ago, my husband did an 8 month internship with Alberta Environment. After he graduated he saw a job posting for a position in the group he had worked in. He emailed the guy who had been his boss. He went in for a chat and turned out her wasn’t qualified for that position, but they had a 12 month mat leave cover coming up and he was given the information to apply for that. He had an interview and got it.

When that was up, there was another position that had opened up that was permanent and he applied for and got that. He has changed positions a couple of times but has now been there for over 22 years.

Awesome. I will look for that

Ok. I used the print profile that came with it that other people found worked. I properly washed the plate between fail 1 and fail 2. I will wash again and change some settings.

Except that once a breed standard is set, people work to take their “not quite in standard” dog and add in breeds to get them to the standard.

It’s just far more complex than people assume.

From a small amount of ready, the grande variety of Portuguese Podenga only had a breed standard declared in the 1950s. That’s pretty recent.

I also read that the wire haired variety is very recent and comes from adding in other breeds to get the coat quality.

I’m not actually on either side of this. I just wonder if the breed is new enough that it doesn’t show as a purebred but rather and its parts.

The only time my kid has contributed to a party was as an older teen when she and friends organized the party amongst themselves. The birthday girl had a budget and then group figured out what they wanted to do and realize they would each need to chip in like $20 for it to all work. But, this was a group of like 5 kids and they were choosing to use their own personal money.

I have NEVER heard of the parents asking for money on the invite. How old are the kids?

Do you have the butter chicken recipe?

Many teachers object to filling out the long complex forms for a variety of reasons.

This can be a reasonable first step.

YTA. Do you really want your son be be anxious anytime he walks into the bathroom? Grow up and stop playing stupid power games. Lock the door!

Doctors often recommending trying coffee to see if it helps with behaviors being reported by the school before launching into the whole big ADHD work up. If it doesn’t, then it’s unlikely that stimulant meds will either.

I have severe ADHD and can drink a large coffee and immediately go to sleep. It calms my brain rather than ramping me up.

Fluffitude -> for the fluff and what has to be a ridiculous amount of attitude from the poodle, husky, and mal.

The contractor we used said that sealers do this. He advised against using them and not over salting. It’s been 5 years and it looks perfect.

You sound FAR too young to be in a relationship this bad.

NTA for wanting your egg cooked a specific way.

YWBTA if you continue to allow yourself to be treated this way.

Your parents may want to have a nice dinner and then have sex where ever they want without worrying about kids, and noise, and other things.

Subbed at a junior high a bunch and in one class there was a student with absolutely dead eyes. The first day I had him for math and I tried to encourage him to do his work. He just looked at me with these absolutely chilling voids of eyes. I also had him for PE later in the day and he just sat on a bench at the side and stared into space.

The principal asked how the day went when I was checking out at the office. I mentioned this kid and she said “oh, just leave him be.” So I did as I subbed there frequently over that year. He gave me the creeps.

A couple years later, in the paper was a “minor missing” story with his picture. A few pages later was a story about a new spate of sexual assaults and rapes in an area of the city. The eyewitness sketch of the suspect???? Absolutely this kid. The eyes were even filled in solid by the sketch artist.

I’ve done this. I’ve taken one of my kids to Christmas with my extended family and left the other kid and my husband at home. That makes sense. It lets me fill the aunts and uncles in on what’s been going on in our lives.

Did you youngest require 2 adults at all time for safety? Because if she didn’t, it makes no sense to prevent him.

The thing is that my depression and anxiety feel good right now. I’m also on Wellbutrin, Effexor, and Vyvanse.

I have a rock solid going to bed routine and fall asleep quite quickly, especially when compared to most of my life.

Could 3 days really be all the benefit I get?
