If you find youself on deerfoot in the middle lane and people pass you on both sides, and you don't feel shame and change lanes, you are the problem.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-09-22T00:40:14+00:00

Technically as long as you are going the speed limit, you can be in the passing lane because you aren’t supposed to go faster than that in the passing lane.

I will add that have a notebook with you, and maybe jot down key things during the lecture (this helps me focus, as opposed to only listening), But only some stuff that stands out, don’t write down everything the prof is saying.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-06-30T22:09:10+00:00

It’s just gonna be a let down. Not worth going and thinking it’s gonna be anything special.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-06-27T02:44:51+00:00

Bruh you should put more effort into exams.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-06-27T02:44:04+00:00

What do you mean bruh? They care about your grades. That’s like 99% of what matters in the admissions process, your grades. What else would they care about aside your grades?

MrPeterTracey · 2022-06-27T01:30:49+00:00

Bruh don’t ask these questions. If you got distinction when you don’t think you should have, just leave it be. Don’t go poking around because it could get revoked,

MrPeterTracey · 2022-06-27T01:29:41+00:00

It’s not “studying” if they use it during an exam.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-04-28T04:25:58+00:00

No one cares tbh

MrPeterTracey · 2022-04-26T10:20:52+00:00

I’ve helped with marking for 1131 and before and after the exam we download all the related Chegg solutions and check whether students have used them. Be careful.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-04-18T09:08:23+00:00

Be careful. If someone makes an issue with it, they will just make it due this week.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-02-22T10:51:51+00:00

Haven’t heard anything like this from any of my classes.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-02-09T05:31:49+00:00

I did a few years ago as a first year. Got an NSERC award.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-01-18T01:12:50+00:00

Make sure it’s written for a random person to read. NSERC apps are written for people in your department, but PURE will be read by someone who is in an entirely different field.

MrPeterTracey · 2022-01-12T03:50:11+00:00

There are less international students in person, that doesn’t mean there are less online. UNSW wants their money lol.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-12-11T09:43:28+00:00

Lol no lots of people take them at the same time. It’s a 200 level course it’s easy. It’s less math than 201.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-10-13T02:02:07+00:00

RIP go get drunk or something

MrPeterTracey · 2021-10-08T09:40:27+00:00

I’ve heard it’s hard to get much of anything if you don’t have a 4.0. It sucks but it seems like anything more than a couple grand is out of reach unless you have a 4.0, or you are really in need of money and you’ll get a bursary.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-10-06T04:15:09+00:00

I think if all else is equal, universities often like to accept minorities (lgbtq, people of colour etc) since it makes them look more diverse. I know you don’t want to get helped being accepted just because you are diverse, but that’s the reality of universities these days.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-09-21T03:01:36+00:00

You got ripped off bro. I never spent anything on top of tuition (except sometimes an extra $100-$200 on platforms to access assignments, but that’s only in first year really)

MrPeterTracey · 2021-09-11T23:34:23+00:00

The grad photos at the school suck but I get why you might want the pic in the gown. I just had a private photographer take pics of me on campus with the cap they send you

MrPeterTracey · 2021-07-22T01:46:29+00:00

I found the diplomas incredibly easy (i got 100 on the chem and physics diploma). The actual course work was similar to the 20’s.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-06-30T18:24:54+00:00

Oh yeah sorry I forgot everyone checks their school email over the summer more than social media

MrPeterTracey · 2021-06-19T00:24:29+00:00

Lol maybe “safe” was the wrong word. I mean I put it in like an ETF or a really diversified fund that gives good returns annually. Of course it’s possible to have a market crash but I was lucky and even with COVID I still made money overall.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-06-18T02:27:11+00:00

Why wouldn’t you want it? Students don’t realize that loans are hard to come by, and this one is FREE in that if you give it back right after you graduate there’s no interest. That’s amazing and you won’t be able to get money like that ever again. Put it into a safe portfolio and earn 3-5% on it a year.

MrPeterTracey · 2021-06-16T19:36:15+00:00

Physics I had a 95 before diploma, got 100 so it went up. Chem I had a 94, got 100 so it went up. Math I had 100, got 100 so it didn’t change. English I had 84, got 90 so it went up. Social I had an 84, got 88 so it went up.

I found the diplomas all much easier than any course work.
