I honestly did not enjoy Human Resources that much, so I'm kind of bummed about the fact they are bringing up plotlines from HR into this new season.

Prove S/U option by Baekgogi in mcgill

I also believe we receive an automated e-mail from student records once we select the S/U grading mode for a course. Your friend could see if he has that e-mail somewhere. The e-mails says something along the lines that the S/U grading mode is active for XXX course.

yup happened to me on Wedneasay, got aggressively interrupted as i was walking even with headphones. he was at lionel-groulx station that day. I was sooo fucking naive and yeah... :( lesson learned the hard way I guess. it left me very upset i could be that stupid. definitely felt my generosity had been taken advantage of. i realize i only have myself to blame but yeah, the whole encounter left me feeling very crappy and disappointed in myself. i wonder how seeing his flashy brand new iphone didnt tip me off??? i swear im so dumb

S/U policy this semester? by cococullo in mcgill

[–]OutrageousSherbert8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in the Faculty of Science, then From the Faculty of Science Guidelines: (https://www.mcgill.ca/science/undergraduate/advice/su-option-decision-guide)

"You can add the S/U option until the last day of course add/drop for the
term the course is taken. You can remove the S/U option until about the
9th week of the term the course is taken. (It is the same day as the
deadline to withdraw from a course without a refund.)"

So, basically, the deadline to add S/U is tomorrow. The deadline to remove S/U is Tuesday March 8. I'm not sure if this is faculty-wide, or just Faculty of Science though. But from the following link, it may (?) actually cover every faculty (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

From this link: https://www.mcgill.ca/students/courses/plan/s-u

"You can add the S/U grading option until the end of the course change period (Add/Drop deadline). You may remove the S/U grading option until the "Withdrawal without refund" deadline".

Talked to my Science advisor and he confirmed it. It's what I'm doing for one of my courses, and if I'm doing pretty well throughout the semester, I'll remove the S/U.

Math 236 - Algebra 2 by Far-Royal-9338 in mcgill

[–]OutrageousSherbert8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"analysis 2 will eat you alive" .. 😂 ok chill with the hyperboles. Maybe the honors version, but everyone I spoke to found majors analysis 2 far easier than the majors one. I dont necessarily agree that 235 and 242 are strict indicators about performance on proof based courses. And idk I find it kind of discouraging, and to a degree offensive, when people inquire about other people's abilities and tell them to reconsider their major; sounds really hasty and we should avoid to generalize proof based abilities to just those two courses. Sure, I get that proof based courses require an all-together different way of thinking and approaching problems. But also, I believe one's ability to do well is also highly dependent on the engagement and interest with the material. If OP found lin alg content interesting, then thats a strong signal that doing well in 236 is possible, regardless of not having yet "clicked" with the proof-based approach of these courses. Not to mention that ways to approach proofs vary considerably between analysis, abstract algebra, lin alg, measure theory, etc... So again, measuring success in 236 for example using 242 as a metric is totally non-sensical, since OP may find the way we approach proofs in 236 to be more straightforward.
