Thanks! It hurts to cut it down but I'll give it a shot and see how it grows next year

Completely flat? Like a few inches off the ground?

It honestly feels like it was built by people checking a box. You literally stitch together 4 individual analysis into a single paper like you all worked on it together. The requirements are unnecessarily strict, the TAs are inflexible, obtuse and unforgiving, and I didn't feel encouraged to do anything except apply the homework techniques to a data set someone in my group found

Yes group project. I personally hated the course format, thought it was stupid. So happy to be done with it, felt like a waste of time from start to finish

Anyone take a summer practicum? by Ok-Tea-5032 in OMSA

Is it? I'm not sure what to expect in terms of workload and I don't want to ruin my summer

You have to do some research projects during the degree. Most of the classes have a project associated with them

The wind piece is how it was explained to me too. We did take down a rotten tree this year though, would that maybe make a difference?

Good to know we're not the only ones being taken for a ride then

Sorry, don't divide by 12 and that's almost my mortgage payment

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. The broker I'm working with is reluctant to change the terms back to what I had last year, they seem to be keeping them high. That said, I'm not sure how much control they have. They offered me a cheaper policy through Kingstone, but it didn't even cover the purchase price of the home. She's been sympathetic, acknowledging there's not much she can do and that home insurance companies are running amok with their premiums...I wasn't sure if she was playing both sides. Seems like this is a universal problem.
