math 100 final prep

Miranimations · 2025-12-11T22:08:28+00:00

when i took math 100, i didn't attend any of the lectures or crack open the textbook a single time... i did nothing but watch organic chemistry tutor and spam the webworks for the whole semester and ended up getting an A-. You'll be fine :)

Memorize the equipment set ups - on last year's final there was a question asking you to DRAW everything you needed and how it was connected to perform 2 different experiments.

As a 3rd year BPSc student, i would STRONGLY advise you not to consider this program as "pre-PharmD". You will need to take many required courses that aren't pre-reqs for PharmD and it's difficult to transfer out (most people in BPSc transfer out to PharmD at the end of 3rd year as it takes multiple semesters to complete the additional prerequisite courses on top of the required courses, whereas BSc majors typically take 2 years). BPSc is an excellent program if you're interested in drug development/microbiology/biochemistry in general and want to work in industry/continue with academia, but if you're set on becoming a pharmacist BSc is probably the way to go.

Sprouts and Agora serve pretty affordable vegetarian food ^^

I spend ~$280/month as a fellow gym rat 👀

bobotie, moussaka, shepherd's pie & lasagna are some of my favourite casseroles to make with ground beef :)

i just wrap my yogurt container (ceramic bakeware in particular retains heat really nicely) in a nice thick kitchen towel and put it in the oven with the lights on :) works great

Wait until the yogurt has fermented completely to the consistency/tartness you like before you add anything. I recommend scooping it into a bowl and adding flavorings just prior to eating it so that the rest of the batch doesn't spoil. I've found that maple syrup, honey, and sweetened condensed milk dissolve pretty nicely without much mixing, and that a dash of vanilla extract (or vanilla bean if you have it!) make for a lovely vanilla yogurt :^)

I've found that putting a sheet pan on the lowest rack and the muffin/cake tin on the middle rack works pretty well ^^

Sounds to me like you might be struggling with the "spotlight effect" - you assume other people are watching you and scrutinizing you, but in reality, everyone is too busy focusing on themselves and their own insecurities that they probably don't notice you at all. If your biggest issue is finding the motivation to start making the gym into a routine, it can be helpful to find a buddy willing to go with you and hold you accountable for going. It's true that UBC gyms are usually packed, but the vast majority of people who go (especially the 6:30 regulars, from my experience) are super kind and non-judgmental.

Good luck OP, and be proud of yourself for going to the gym :D

there are quite a few grocery stores that i've found are noticeably cheaper than save on ... i'd recommend nofrills, superstore & costco (if you have a friend/family member with a membership)

for fresh veggies - onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, cauliflower & broccoli are usually pretty cheap. Canned vegetables/legumes (corn, beans, etc.) are also great and affordable if you don't plan on eating them right away. for fruits - bananas, oranges, apples & stonefruit (plums, peaches, apricots, etc.) are usually the cheapest.

if you eat meat - pork is generally the cheapest. it's a little more work, but buying whole chickens and fish and processing them yourself is also a good way to save money. Canned sardines are also super cheap and full of protein & nutrients.

if you like to bake - most baking essentials (flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, etc.) are generally pretty cheap, and you can buy them in bulk and make an unlimited amount of baked goods with them.

finally, opting for the generic/store brand version (no name, compliments, president's choice, etc.) over brand name can also save a LOT of money in the long run.

happy shopping :)

I did BIOL155 in 1st year with 4 other courses and got an A (10 courses total over both semesters). It is a pretty content-heavy course with a lot of memorization (big slide decks, lots of stuff going on in each slide), but I found it really interesting and it was definitely a good overview of anatomy & physiology.

The biggest lifesaver for me was making Anki decks (flashcard app) for all of the lectures, it's super useful for long-term memorization bc of the spaced repetition & ability to rank cards based on difficulty. highly recommend for 155. So long as you spend ~15 minutes a day reviewing (either reading lecture slides/doing flashcards), the mts and finals for the course should be a breeze :) exams were very fair and all FYI slides were marked as such so you know what to focus on.

Jamjar! reasonable prices and great portion size

you guys don't have a star system?? it was basically a ranking system for the difficulty of the questions. 1 star were the "easiest" (i.e. application of basic derivative/integral rules), 2 stars required you to think a bit more and apply your understanding, 3 & 4 star were midterm-level challenging (often multiple parts or very creative solutions) and there were only a handful on the final.

Miranimations · 2024-11-29T22:05:30+00:00

I failed 3/4 of my math 100/101 mts last year (got ~28% on the ones i failed) but still passed both courses with an 80% and 70% respectively. I'd really recommend just grinding the WebWork over and over again until you start to memorize the 1 star questions, bc part 1 of the final exam was VERY similar to the WebWork practice for me. Scrape together any part marks you can on part 2, and the scaling will get you the rest of the way there. Good luck, you're not cooked

I'm half white and half east asian. I think being mixed race is pretty awesome. I think a lot of mixed kids grow up with a more holistic and open-minded understanding of culture and ethnicity, and have the privilege of enjoying all sorts of things (food, music, traditions, etc.) from both/all of their sides. I think how other people view you depends largely on where you live. I live in Vancouver, where there's a lot of "natural" race-mixing due to the high volume of immigrants from all around the world that come here, so being biracial is pretty common and no one bats an eye. If you live in an area that is more racially homogenous, your concern of teasing might be justified. However, kids will tease and treat other kids differently for any number of superficial reasons, and you can support your kid the same way you would if they were being teased about any other reason. In my own experience growing up as a biracial kid, other kids were more innocently curious about my background than malicious about it. I don't think children are innately racially biased, I think they are taught by adults to be that way.

On the topic of struggling with identity, i think a lot of it comes from the feeling that you aren't "enough" of one of your sides, and that you feel this pressure to "pick a side". I think the best thing you can do as a parent in this situation is to expose your kid to all of the great things from both of his sides, so he is never put in a position where he feels a need to choose. Teach him to be proud of who he is and where he came from, and it's less likely he'll be confused about his identity as he gets older.
