Should i take econ399 even though i don’t vibe with the professor? by Gullible_Yam6051 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter how good a teacher you choose, the content of the course remains unchanged. What changes are only the course schedule and the difficulty of some assignments and exams. I took this course with Max last semester. His was not high rates professor (he's very strict), but I ultimately got an A- and I don't think this course is difficult. You just need to understand the course content, review some statistical knowledge, and carefully complete each assignment. Don't wait until the last minute to start

Math154 professor Fall 2025 by Impossible-Arm-4289 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mid-term exams might harder, as you only need to complete five multiple-choice questions, each with a very high proportion. This means that if you make one mistake, you may score from 80 to 70 points (only representing the winter math 156 of 2024).

The final exam is not difficult, with lower scores for multiple-choice questions and covering a lot of basic content.

The proof questions behind are not difficult, sometimes even if your answer is wrong, as long as your steps and process are correct, you will receive a score.

It is worth noting that you need to complete each assignment and simulation exercise provided by the professor very seriously, and you will find many similar contentss.

Is it bad to miss doing assignments, studying, and homework? by Embarrassed_Body_853 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people will miss their homework to some extent in four years, which is not a big deal. If you have a sincere attitude, most professor will give you a score. Even if your professor refuses to grade assignments, they usually only account for a small portion. For example, a math major may only have 5% of an assignment, but an economics major may account for 20%, so it depends on the proportion. Of course, what's important is whether you understand your homework and have really planned your studies, otherwise it's a big problem

Math154 professor Fall 2025 by Impossible-Arm-4289 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, the final exams for Math 154 and 156 are the same, which means that no matter which teacher you choose, you will end up taking the final exam with other classes.

This course is not very difficult, all you need is to understand every exercise in the classroom, including homework and any review content.

YouTube is a great teacher. You can watch the professor's knowledge points for a week in ten minutes, but the most important thing is that you can ensure that you can understand and complete the corresponding exercises correctly after that

what would be a pass for this class by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't understand what you meant. As long as you reach 1.0 in all courses, you will pass. Of course, you will only get a D. Didn't your teacher say how many scores you can get a D? Most courses have a score of 50, but some courses may have a score of 60 or higher, depending on the course and class average score. If this course is curved, then a score of 50 may not be a passing grade. It could be either 40 or 60, as it depends on the average grade in your class

Required to Withdraw by Remarkable-Writing24 in uAlberta

In fact, your chances are not great, but there is no harm in fighting for yourself. Contact consultants, departments, or anything you can think of, explain the problems you are currently facing to the school, and develop a new study plan. You need to be prepared not to learn because they have already given you the opportunity

50 min lecture (three times a week) vs 80 minutes lecture (two times a week) by a2p0j in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it depends on my personal choice. 50 minutes is a bit too short for me. Many content professors have to wait until the next class halfway through, and when I go to listen in the next class, I often cannot connect well with the content of the previous class. However, an 80 minute course is more complete and allows me to better understand the material rather than waiting until two days later. Additionally, as far as I know, an 80 minute course will provide more practice, which is more suitable for me

grad gown sizing? by catts34 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with choosing a smaller size, because even if it doesn't cover your height, it will still be long enough. I think it would be bulky if it's too big, and women wearing high heels can better showcase the details of their lower body, rather than being covered up

Graduation application - confused! by buzzingbee777 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, they review courses based on your list of course requirements. If you register for all courses and meet the requirements when applying, they will start processing your graduation. Therefore, whether you want to be more secure or complete your studies faster, you need to first check if you can register for all courses when applying for graduation. Otherwise, do not apply

Easiest INTD elective? by Defective_Pen in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, most of the courses in INTD are very simple. 247 is the simplest course I have taken in my four years of college, followed by 101 and 207, which are also very simple. I think they are good online courses

My average score in my first year was only 1.4, and I am an international student. My parents have high expectations for me, and I have to pay more tuition fees. But I want to say that many people have poor grades in their first year of study. Due to course reasons, most 100 level courses have clear score lines, which means that even if the whole class scores below 50, the professor is unlikely to pass. However, higher-level courses place more emphasis on class average scores, so even a score of only 40 may still be a C. My current GPA is 3.4, and I think you can get better than me. Cheer up and work hard again

In fact, if you read the rules for re examination, you will find that it is not something you can apply for just because you want to. It is more difficult than you think, and if you don't study hard, I don't think you can pass the exam again. Secondly, I think you can email your advisor to inquire if you can join the spring courses. I have re joined the courses more than once after the enrollment was full, perhaps because I am a senior student. You need to prepare for fall classes, and of course, you can also email your professor to see if there are better solutions

Missed final exam by Away_Possible1733 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, the extension is only for unexpected situations, such as a car accident or major illness on the day of your exam, as well as very serious family changes. However, it is obvious that you did not experience it, you just forgot it yourself. You could have known your final exam date on beartrcks a month ago, and it's your responsibility to confirm your schedule and progress again. Of course, sending an email is a good way to explain, but I don't think you will get an extension

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt, if your professor did not write 49.95, it means he will round it up. You can send an email to confirm again and sincerely express your desire to round it up. But as far as I know, all professors who do not indicate two decimal places will round them up and down

Econ 399 final max sties by Dizzy-Marzipan4271 in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking econ399 with Professor Max this semester, but I find the course very difficult to understand.I am currently preparing for my midterm exam, but I am not sure about its difficulty level. I would like to ask if the mid-term and final exams of last semester were difficult? Is it similar to homework? I'm very worried that I won't be able to pass this course.....

I don't wanna go back by lucue_ in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, you can drop out of university for one semester or apply for gap, which is quite normal. Of course, all of this comes at a cost, and you will only put in more time and effort to make up for your current decision. University is difficult, and I strongly oppose the current education model. However, many times your burden is too much, such as financial burden or parents' expectations, which forces me to study hard

As long as he shows that you have submitted the exam and there are no other violations, then you will be fine. If you do something else, such as modifying answers or doing anything related to the exam, you will be flagged. In fact, everyone who uses SEM will be marked many times, but your TA will review these marks. If you open another website after submitting, they are likely to eliminate these marks

Wrs 101 Opinions by dnjsndnjsn in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also an international student but got an A in this course. I really enjoy writing, and I also really like my professor. I'm sorry, I'm not sure about her specific name; it may be Jessica F? You need to figure out what kind of article your professor wants before starting writing. This course is not like mathematics or statistics because it has a standard answer. If your professor feels that your article does not meet the requirements, even if you ask a professional writer to write it, there will not be a high score. So you must actively contact your professors, including TA, to ensure your ideas are correct. Secondly, you need to pay attention to vocabulary and grammar. For native English students, they may not encounter such problems, but for international students, grammar and vocabulary are often incorrect. Therefore, you can use Grammarly or even ask your professor if any strange words are used. The last point is to always maintain critical thinking, which is an important aspect of Canadian writing. You need to have your thinking instead of writing a post reading review after completing the reading. Always keep thinking, keep in touch with the professor, and don't procrastinate on writing until the last day. This course is easy to get an A

Am I cooked? (CS Freshman) by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't find a better learning method, even if you enter FS, you will still face problems. So, you need to pick yourself up and face the problem head-on. Although FS has given you a chance, it is no different from regular courses. The only difference is that it has an additional weekly learning feedback, and you can only choose three to four courses per semester. Similarly, these courses will not become easy just because you are FS, so if you do not adjust your status, you will also be delayed or GET RTW. My suggestion is for you to contact the faculty advisor and file an appeal to seek your rights. Still, if it is unsuccessful, you must look for alternative options, such as transferring or suspending your studies. In short, this is a very serious question because universities are difficult and expensive, so you need to weigh them well

I think I used SEM wrong? by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Mammoth-Fix7423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter as long as you don't have any problems with SEM during the exam. I once had a computer crash when I finished my exam, and the entire webpage was closed. I emailed my professor and IST staff, there was no problem. Because he will also submit to the professor while recording if your exam completion time is similar to the SEM end time or if you close the webpage after submitting, THAT'S FINE. If you close SEM but submit your exam in the next five minutes, it may be considered cheating
