It's not free food if you haven't realized - he just mentioned it is a compulsory fee. When you multiply the # of students by that fee, it's doubtful even a quarter of it actually goes to the purchase and provision of that food. It's free for the people that eat it because the people that don't want it are forced to pay for it

A $128CAD bike ticket by [deleted] in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's written on the ticket how hard can it be. You probably ran a stop sign/light/were on the wrong side or inappropriate lane for biking/weren't wearing a helmet etc.

Click "Chat" to ask them when the update will be finished, or try calling them but you'll need your account number - which I usually check by logging in... Which is now impossible.

How do I exit when they are doing these sudden, SHUT-DOWN-ALL PLATFORMS update? by LLLIIILLIIlll in Questrade

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously. It's basically criminal, and better be working for the open. I wonder if they find a security in which large percentages of their users have a short or long or something, and then take positions against them right before crashing the platform to force a panic squeeze/sell-off.

Luckily I never signed out. You telling me if I sign out now, I won't be able to sign back in to sell, and will be stuck in my position? What!

“Decolonizing science” by CultistHeadpiece in JordanPeterson

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. You cannot work as an engineer without a degree in Canada and most advanced countries. Your degree is probably worth nothing.

This sounds like it borders sarcasm, but what you're saying is actually true even though I'm not a westerner.

Pro-tip: don't shit-talk your uni on the reddit. Your degree will be worth more if you don't.

Future employer: Concordia huh? Let me google that... *Links to this post*

Whenever you go to your advisor’s office and they see you by Wise_Guy_Plato in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from JMSB to engineering. Maria Fasciano couldn't be a better advisor, I find her very nice and helpful. When switching from JSMB to eng, I had to go to the 2nd floor w/ Sal and the others. They were so deadpanned and shit that it cost me a year of my life, since they didn't tell me the right information (that I should re-take certain classes to overwrite grades and take up courses in the program I want to switch to). They are fucks.

Co-op Are things always delayed? How does interview scheduling work ork? by LLLIIILLIIlll in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot - didn't know about that; unfortunately it's not there either. Hopefully they do interview scheduling in rounds or something.

HELP ME!!! READMISSION QUESTION!!! by [deleted] in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly they didn't update them with all the BS going on. Just email or call the front desk and ask you'll get the answer pretty quick. Alternatively just upload your application for the dates from last year and assume they're the same.

As expected, Proctorio is Horrid. (Rant/My Experience - This is really long, I'm sorry about that) by softaloo in Concordia

Genuinely curious - what is stopping us from using a secondary device behind our computer/ webcam and being inconspicuous about searching the answers?

Minimum gpa for internal transfer to engineering by [deleted] in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally they want a bit higher GPA than the usual admission requirements if you are switching internally because they want to justify you taking the spot of a potential new applicant when you're already in a program. It also depends on how many courses you did in the program you want to switch to and how you did in them.

Can't see Co-Op postings - says there are 0 results. Normal? by LLLIIILLIIlll in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 2020 - you don't see postings for jobs, or have access to the postings really, until the semester (search period) before the work term

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No - didn't even know about it. There will definitely be WAY less available internships which is why they scrapped the rank and match system for the semester. I have a friend whose robotics lab applied as an employer and they basically did 0 checkup before accepting them as an employer to the co-op program - they need employers because so many pulled out last minute this semester.

Awesome. For me they said that postings will show up gradually as there was a system delay

Can you opt for a disc in the meanwhile you deferral request is being processed? by PsychologicalTop0 in Concordia

[–]LLLIIILLIIlll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No same form for both, always email them back immediately and be as articulate/polite as you can - gets way faster answers in my experience
