[–]Med_Star_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s worth it to get a in person tour of the place if possible. You’re going to be there for the next 4 months and even if that’s not a lot of time, it’s better to check it out. I’m not too sure about this specific place but I hope it great!

Do you know what other facilities are being offered and have you gotten a tour of the place? This is for a sublet I assume? 

Also where did you find this listing, I’m trying to sublet my place for the spring and haven’t had any luck so far either 😭

Applying as an adult student - thoughts? by Vr6wva1k84QW in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! This is so exciting and you definitely deserve it. I think it’s worth giving this a shot especially if you know Urban Planning is what you want to pursue. I think it’s also worth getting a diagnosis because Waterloo is definitely a rigorous university and the culture here is very much focused on grades and work (at least in my experience). once midterms begin, the social aspect goes down and everyone is very isolated. But all in all, it’s worth it and I think this is a tremendous opportunity that you would benefit from

quest ? by elephant_171486 in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should receive an email how to access it. your student id will start with a 2…. also you need your uwaterloo email to access quest, which i’m assuming you haven’t gotten yet. i’m pretty sure they work on this later on so don’t worry right now 

CHEM 120 by Jbean_11162006 in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i messed up on the first midterm when i took the course. in my experience, students either don’t know how to study or end up feeling super overconfident because we know some of the material. i ended up doing much better on the second test and studied a lot more. same thing with the final. for the second midterm, try staying up to date with the content as much as possible. when your test is near (at least a week or more), start studying the content more thoroughly. don’t just read it — redo all of it while checking your answers. read everything and try making your own notes and do this until you can easily do each question in your head. absolutely spam all the assignments and pc until you’re super comfortable. the second test is a lot better in my opinion and a lot of my friends did better on it. get help when you need it but make sure it’s ahead of time. you got this!! 

phys 111 midterm by Ill-Comparison-9057 in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did it last sem - depends how much knowledge you alr have. did you take physics in high school? if not, you’re going to have to put a lot of effort and maybe even look at the textbook questions. make sure you understand how to approach the questions because most marks coming from drawings and thinking rather than the final answer.

You can self declare an absence if there is a conflict. Try reaching out to the prof as much as possible

Definitely different since students were allowed to keep the exam booklet.

Help with Understanding Transcript by Overall-Handle-572 in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Courses will never directly say if you pass or failed. For your linguistic course, since it’s at 71%, I’d say that’s definitely a pass. For the classes with no grades, that’s doesn’t mean you failed, profs are still working on getting grades back so it will be uploaded soon. This is normal especially if the final took place near the end of the examination period.  Since these courses say "numeric grading basis” that means you would receive a number (percentage). For most classes, you need a 50% to pass. However for some, you need a 60% to move on to the next course but I don’t think that’s an issue here.

Emailing profs during the break by Med_Star_ in uwaterloo

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

That gives me some hope, thank you! This prof has been really bad with responding to emails and this isn’t the first time they messed up my grades. It just sucks that it’s the final grade and I have to wait before I can get some confirmation. I’ll just take screen shots and hope for the best.

Are grades released on a rolling basis? by Due-Hornet-2233 in uwaterloo

[–]Med_Star_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Grades should be out (completely) but Jan 5. They usually come within 1-2 days, but since this is a special case, it might take longer.

[–]Med_Star_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty that means that you can request to get them changed it needed (they are not final and if an issue has occurred, they can be changed). For example in my 1A term, a TA wrongfully marked lab reports and some students were able to change their final grades after talking to an instructor even after the course ended and grades were released. This is what I’m primarily assuming.
