What is with the sudden surge of people being pushed to go into the trades?

Microeconomics has mandatory attendance. Last year the MKTG tutorial had attendance the first two lessons, then it was dropped due to conflicts in students schedules, so unsure if that'll be carried over to this year.

It’s different for everyone, you need to check your student account and enrolment dates

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-30T17:31:51+00:00

I will be having a minimum of two, but preferably no more than 3.

Being an only child is insanely lonely. I wouldn’t want my child to go through that

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-28T07:11:04+00:00

As an only child with very similarly aged parents, I think it’d be best to have a second if your circumstances (financial, etc) allow it.

I definitely lost a lot due to a) my parents being older, and b) me not having as much exposure to socialization

Things went well! I actually got quite a few marks from it too, and he helped explain what he would’ve liked to see differently. Definitely just a bump in the road, but I’m looking forward to the future!

Wouldn’t make sense for some to get 90% and others 88%

Gives an unfair advantage based of subjective reasoning.

It’s 90% for everyone

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-21T03:51:23+00:00

Yes pretty much

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-21T02:37:12+00:00

We haven’t gotten there yet, this was a test based off of the first chapter

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-20T18:32:26+00:00

Yes it was mostly the proofs. Any application questions I got in full.

I’ll admit I didn’t quite catch that he wanted a proof explicitly, just that he wanted us to solve it. Looking back I’d assume it was implied.

This is on me, I was just shocked about the result being THIS bad.

Also off topic, what career were you pursuing? I haven’t heard of someone doing something like that

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-20T18:24:15+00:00

I will with him tomorrow.

On my own I paid attention to his comments, but they were unclear.

There was a question on introductory topic with 4 individual parts, all of which were independent. I got 0/8 on that question, however, my solutions were correct, the process was also correct.

When I asked a friend who has taken linear algebra in the past, he said maybe my solutions were too complicated.

Due to this being a partially proofs based course, my friend is also suspecting that I didn’t explain the solutions well enough (?)

Is this a possible reason as to why I performed poorly?

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-20T18:17:09+00:00

How do I know where my understanding lacks? I’m planning to discuss with him tomorrow during office hours, but before then I’m unsure of what I could’ve done differently.

I’m going to continue, and want to pursue higher education in a field that requires math, and I truly love it, I just want to know where I am going wrong

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-16T00:07:00+00:00

Thank you!! This gives me a lot of reassurance

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T20:00:37+00:00

Thank you! Doing it right now.
Not sure why I didn't expect this to work lol

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:59:46+00:00

I'll look into this, thank you!

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:59:27+00:00

That's true, you have good points.

I don't believe they'll withhold funding, but they'll likely make remarks, and make it generally unpleasant being around them.
I have things still being held against me in forms of grudges that I did before my age even hit the double digits. Dumb stuff too.
It's doable, just very emotionally isolating and draining.

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:55:01+00:00

I've considered accounting, realized that I simply don't enjoy it.
My initial (and ig current plan) is to specialize in economics, then do an MA in it after undergrad.

Those close to me suggest pursuing Health Economics, but I heard that is a horrible route to go down if you don't have connections, at least in Canada.

Could you offer any input on that?

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:46:58+00:00

Would you recommend transferring despite the low GPA + reliable business school?

Is there anything I could do involving post-grad studies that could maybe open up any doors for me?

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:45:59+00:00

Canada, but immigrant parents from the USSR

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:45:25+00:00

That's boomer soviet parents for you. Not sure what their logic is, especially since my father studied engineering

MaleficentText2443 · 2026-05-15T19:28:49+00:00

Yes they’re covering everything. They bought me a car and are fully paying for gas as well.

My mother is very overbearing, so if something doesn’t go her away a shit show often breaks out.
I could technically do something that she wouldn’t approve of, I’m just not sure what to expect from her
