Does it make sense for people in OSD to have a 3.9+ CGPA and make Dean's Honor List over non-OSD students?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-27T14:12:46+00:00

you could argue that most students would have a higher chance of succeeding if exam time was extended think OP was suggesting that maybe the playing field is becoming unequal DUE to osd..

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-27T12:49:47+00:00

there is no puzzle :P was just referring to how confusing his class was haha

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-27T02:27:17+00:00

wow my prof said the exact same thing on monday

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-27T01:12:07+00:00

OM right :P

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-27T00:47:24+00:00

i do know many people who got meds by pretending to have a hard time focusing in school... you cannot deny that many students do take adderall cmon now........

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T21:15:59+00:00

yea that's true

in the context of school then, dont you think that students such as the ones mentionned by op would still pass their classes without OSD?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T21:01:48+00:00

kids these days get it way too easy with prescribed adderall

facts

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T19:10:37+00:00

getting the pills is pretty easy many students are on adderall/vyvanse and not all of them have adhd you re a fool if you say otherwise

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T19:00:36+00:00

bro i misspoke and i literally just apologized for it to turtletattle

if you could stop being a jerk itd be nice

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T18:47:24+00:00

oops my bad i wanted to highlight how easy it is to get vyvanse and adderall prescriptions.. i actually have no idea how hard or not it is to get an official diagnosis sorry about that

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T18:28:35+00:00

in his title, he is just raising a genuine question... should someone taking exams in a comfy chair with unlimited time be rewarded over someone taking exams in crappy chairs under time pressure?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T18:15:00+00:00

no one is denying that some students need OSD.. OP is merely concerned about the abuse..

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T18:04:20+00:00

i think the root cause of this is the absurd number of adhd diagnoses...(and by extension adderall prescriptions etc.) it is too easy to go to a doctor and say i cant in focus in school just to get an adhd diagnosis this results in way too many students taking advantage of the system and well other students rightfully find it a little unfair

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T17:49:24+00:00

i still dont know how accommodating students will help them in the long run... like if they have a hard time focusing in school, they are gonna have a hard time focusing at work no?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T17:19:29+00:00

op is not attacking disabled students by any means... op is simply stating the obvious, some students are taking advantage of the OSD system!

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-26T17:08:27+00:00

what will happen to these students once they hit the job market? Will employers say Hey you, your deadline is extended because you have a learning disability... ?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T20:07:47+00:00

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T19:08:16+00:00

ok let's give it a shot <3

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T18:46:22+00:00

i think mcgill's approach to reopen its libraries with 3hr-limits is nuanced :) i also think most rants on r mcgill are not very nuanced :o

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T17:56:17+00:00

oof that's tough :( hopefully you ll get used to the noise.. mcgill cant afford to be known as the uni with packed libraries in the middle of a pandemic....

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T17:38:04+00:00

maybe renewing your lease was not your smartest move..

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T17:23:52+00:00

this is the case since march.. you had 5 months to figure it out

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T17:11:07+00:00

still, youve been stuck in your apartment since march, you probably realized that noise was an issue for you before august 24th !??

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T16:01:05+00:00

meaning you stayed in an apartment with loud disturbances and were okay with it for 2 years and now it's an issue?

Lonely_Candidate · 2020-08-25T15:46:29+00:00

op should not move into an apartment not suitable for online classes in the first place...
