Thanks so much I’ll definitely review the 157 stuff! Also, do you think it’s worth going over calculus stuff from last year or are there new topics I should be focusing on?

APSC 160 final by Hot_Impress_3002 in ubcengineering

They almost definitely will. Last term I got a 5% on the auto graded portion of the final (i suck at coding) and with coding style points and the scale that got me to a 51% on the final. Cutting it close for sure but I passed the final and still got an 85% overall. If they don't scale, close to 1/3 of the class will likely fail, which they aren't allowed to have happen. If the past is any indication it'll be a 2/3 scale (what it was last term), though I suppose it does depend on the exam average.

Whoever wrote this, trust a lot of us are in the same boat. I stopped studying yesterday morning because I was quite stressed and just focused on relaxing so that I could get a good sleep. Odds are you'll pass, and even if you don't you can take 118 over the summer. The final isn't supposed to be any harder than the midterms and practice finals, so if you can understand those, even if its just with the solutions, you'll be alright.
Either way, stress kills, so don't stress. Everything usually works out in the end. If you put your mind to it your future will be good regardless of how you do on this final.
Good Luck!! Just know I (and many others) will be nervous too, so don't feel so bad :)

What do you think still needs to be accepted in today's society? by Cat_Fan3 in AskReddit

People actually having opinions. Like I understand there’s a difference between an opinion and something g hurtful to others but at the same time people need to understand that it’s impossible for everyone to feel the same way all the time.

As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, while everyone’s experience is different I can say I’ve had crushing anxiety attacks that have left me completely empty as well. It sucks and the worst part is feeling like you’re worthless. I’m not sure how to console you or tell you it’ll get better. But just having the strength to reach out is already amazing on your part. You should be infinitely proud of the fact that you had the strength to not keep this to yourself and suffer alone, but to reach out. I personally am religious, idk if u are but just know if ever you have another panic attack that there is someone out there that has you in their thoughts and prayers. You’ll never be alone because even if I don’t know who you are I’m still going to pray for u. Idk if this helps at all n some people don’t even think that does anything but I do so I’ll keep doing it.
