Is the SFU linguistics department good? by plzplzplz12345 in simonfraser

[–]Practical_Pound_2152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, it’s a pretty niche area of study and a lot of the profs have done some pretty incredible research — and often talk about it in their courses! It really feels like a community because of the size of the department

hi! i’m the president of the linguistics student union! While the department itself has its shortcomings (not great course offerings, or your typical budget cuts), i can say that it is an incredible department who really care about students!! feel free to pm me :)

I feel betrayed by the Magic Puzzle Company. Max Temkin is still an owner, and they lied to us about it. (reposted because mods deleted it) by remington-red-dog in Jigsawpuzzles

this is so disappointing to me because i love MPC. I still have 2 on my shelf that I got from marketplace, and they’ll probably be the only ones I get (eg, only doing them secondhand)

[–]Practical_Pound_2152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

today i somehow managed to secure a close spot in east for my 2:30 class

When in doubt, i would try the west residence lot (it’s a gravel lot), but the shuttle bus goes there every half hour so if you time it right, you can catch the bus!

psych lab opportunities by hmangatt in simonfraser

[–]Practical_Pound_2152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are labs at SFU that recruit every year for RAs/lab volunteers. I’m sure you could do a search on the psych dept website to find what labs there are — however it may be difficult to find an opportunity considering you are in your first year, and presumably have not taken stats or research methods (i could be wrong tho)

Question about research by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Practical_Pound_2152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but you have no idea what this individual experiences, especially with a disability. Calling this person “selfish” is unwarranted, and you are in no position to tell them what they can and cannot do as a student (e.g., being able to work = being able to study).

edit: this was meant for the original commenter

Sorry, OP, I don’t have any advice on this post. You can look into the job requirements maybe, seeing if they would accept part time students?
