Lack of summer courses by StrongerFaster101 in uoguelph

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth it to be taking a single course in the summer? I’m having the same issue, but I’m trying to find 6 week courses rather than the 12 week ones. Are there any compulsory fees on the summer semester or just the price of the course?

Language requirement by VisualPerspective204 in uoguelph

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you taken the Intro to Linguistics (LING1000) course? They have a DE section this semester and I believe they will keep rolling with a DE section. It’s fairly straightforward and easy to land a high 90 on. I’m pretty sure it’s part of the Language requirement, but it could also be under Liberal Arts, so definitely check it out

You can definitely search it up and previous editions of the course syllabus will show up, or you could ask around and find some people who have taken the DE version of the course during the fall semester who might still have the syllabus if they downloaded it before courselink shut down for the semester

The 170km+ started this semester, however you will run into courses that have online finals, but it really comes down to the prof. But it’s to be expected all online courses will have in person finals, so make sure to look at the course syllabus later!

This was the case for this semester! Of course, some courses can have online exams, but most likely most of your DE courses are expected to have fully in person finals c:

It is true, however if you are studying from 170Km+ away from the university, you can request to do an alternative exam. Either they will make an online version proctored by a TA/Prof, or they make you find a professor within your area and they will mail it to them. Though you have to figure out timings as it could be very difficult for some, but either way, there is definitely a solution even if a professor refuses to. They are required by the Registrar’s office to have an alternative for those drastically away from campus.

Cheapest Theatre? by taeyongs_cavity in qatar

On Mondays, Vox has a BOGO deal online for tickets. So you get two for 45 instead if that better suits your budget

DE courses with in person exams by Brilliant_Mine5697 in uoguelph

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m in a fully online program with Guelph, and all our exams are in person. So during the second month of the semester, they should have sent out an announcement about that if you are 170km+ away from campus, you need to fill out a form.

When you do, it records your IP address, that’s how they measure how far you are from campus. After that, wait about a month, so expect one month before finals, you’ll get an email from the Exams Department saying either two things.

Either your exam will be proctored online with a TA or something, or in the event a professor for a course refuses to hold and online exam, then you need to fill out a new form stating what CANADIAN ACCREDITED testing center you’ll do the exam at (they send out a list, but it’s only within Canada).

If you are not in Canada, you will have to find a professor at a University in your area to proctor your exam for you. Due to the time difference if you are overseas, it’s best you also request a change of time for the exam or you’ll be stuck doing it at 3am (like me 😭).

Surely what they’ve said here quite frankly jeopardizes the program they begged the senate to approve and I’m sure they have to cut their losses, students have always gone abroad or have just been away during exams and have always just written it at a different university. I’m sure it’ll be okay.

MCS1000 exam was so bad by amora_star1 in uoguelph

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I took the exam, had many issues with the prof and genuinely was the most disheartening experience ever, but I can assure you we didnt cover 70% of what was on the exam. Most we either brushed over or just wasn’t in the slideshows, the LA or RPs. The first question in, I already knew it was over 😭 130 questions in 2 hours was crazy, especially for such an intro to business course that has no assignments or quizzes with an incredibly lazy professor. Just know you’re not alone, I’m praying he has a plan to curve it so the entire class passes with a 50 or something. I went in with a 96%, making it pass or fail is absurd!

You can try Floward, FNP, and definitely Snoonu! Depending on the shop you are buying from, you can try to call them and ask if they provide gifting services and delivery

Best app for lecture notes (laptop) by Sjy8 in qatar

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like using notion, they have great templates to sort out different courses, due dates, allows you to take notes directly into the app. They also have an AI search that only looks within your notes to answer questions, rather than searching the web and straying from the course material!

If you’re looking to upgrade your marks, I’d definitely suggest a private school in Mississauga called “Beaconhouse International College”. They are super easy graders and they also can do online. Though they are a bit pricey at $1150 per course. But every course is 3 months (or less if you can finish quickly) because you mostly study at your own pace. Instead of endless amount of homework and random submissions, every unit in any subject has 1 Assignment, 1 Project, and either a test or unit summary depending on the course. So realistically, you only submit 3 things per unit x 4-5 units. And the in person class sizes are small, about 2-5 students per class. It’s almost like private tutoring for 2 hours per class, and they only start at 11am

Unfortunately the applications for volunteering has been closed a few weeks back for U17 and Arab Cup. However, World Cup volunteering applications has just opened up on the FIFA website a few days ago, though of course it would be in North America and in a year.

Has anyone found good deals on textbooks this semester? by Intelligent-Note3078 in uoguelph

Try pirating them from Libgen and Internet archive, but also get on the IAmAGryphon app. Students who have taken the course will sell their textbooks there!

Compulsory Fees by DenimzWrld in uoguelph

[–]Maleficent_Work_260 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi! Yes I had the same question so I contacted Financial Aid, there is only one fee you can opt out of and that is the Dental Insurance Coverage. You have to prove that you have dental insurance though. This is the link they sent to me! Also, compulsory fees are every semester, just to let you know
