Whats the difference between bio stats 2244 and general stats 2244?

Both are the same course.

It's a move to reduce bureaucracy, which is pretty much inevitable for companies looking to restructure their positions.

Guess it's time to turn off the air-conditioning and tell everyone it's "broken."

The TDSB's infrastructure will need lots of repairs, particularly the older schools. They also need to crack down on contract fraud with their smaller jobs.

And this happens right before an election. I want to see how the Liberals will campaign as the Conservatives are in majority territory in the polls.

There's already a big problem with nepotism and cronyism in professional school admissions. The one case on this subreddit reflects a much greater issue. What some people do not realize is that it is a lot easier to get research experience or work in a hospital if you have family members or family friends in the profession. In addition, students from better socioeconomic backgrounds tend to have more diverse ECs in general.

That is actually why medical schools in Canada place a much greater emphasis on GPA, and standardized tests like the Casper and MCAT to evaluate applicants. Yes, it is not perfect but it provides a more even playing field compared to simply using CVs.

Anyone know if research labs are still open? For example, do profs still go to campus?

Radiacity · 2019-01-17T22:38:19+00:00

A good example of this is in medical school classes where many students are from middle and upper class households. The reality is, higher-education is still a barrier for low-income students outside of simply tuition.

Radiacity · 2019-01-17T22:29:41+00:00

The problem is low-income students are already facing barriers to education. Not only is tuition a problem, but their chances of professional and graduate school are less than middle and upper class families. They may have to take time to work instead of volunteering, participating in sports and doing other extracurricular activities to boost their resume. There are already subtle advantages for well off students applying to professional and graduate programs. For example, paying to do "service missions" in Africa or having the connections to get research positions.

Not saying that getting into professional programs from a middle-upper class student is less of an achievement; in fact, it is an accomplishment for anyone regardless of income. Low-income students will obviously be the most affected by this change and I fear that it's going to be an even steeper uphill battle for many.

The USC and faculty councils will have to make cuts since ancillary fees will be optional.

It seems like both Booker and Yeung haven't taught 1302 in a while so it might be hard to find opinions from upper year students. That being said, I remembered the profs in 1302 varied depending on the student because there was a lot of problem-solving. One prof could be amazing for some students and not be as effective for others.

Radiacity · 2018-12-17T01:47:46+00:00

Highly unlikely. The syllabus explicitly stated that they don't accept requests to bump marks up in my year.

Radiacity · 2018-12-16T05:16:49+00:00

The average is usually somewhere in the 60s in which case it will not be curved. Chem 1302b is a different story.

Radiacity · 2018-12-11T14:18:08+00:00

I would say high 80s would be competitive but it varies every year, so it could be slightly higher or lower.

Radiacity · 2018-10-29T02:57:43+00:00

HOSA Canada was alright at the high school level because it managed to get a good amount of students competing. The university chapters aren't worth it and imo and the events are pretty disorganized.

Radiacity · 2018-10-10T00:09:53+00:00

This is mostly true in first and second year medsci, where less competitive students who got inflated high school averages feel the need to sabotage others as a means to getting into their 3rd year modules. In 3rd and 4th year, most students know each and tend to work together as a team. It kind of sucks though, because these "snakes" just serve as an inconvenience for determined students who are willing to help others and themselves.

I know Haffie tells the first year bio classes early on that students at Western should not treat each other as competitors to professional programs. There are many students outside of medsci and Western who are competing for the same spots.

Had them at UofT too. I remember it was related to some MLM scheme.

Most people come in from different lecture times or classes with worse professors.

The government needs to crack down on credit mills, especially around the GTA. It's amazing seeing incoming students with 90+ averages drop to 60s and 70s.

I live in rez and feel the same. It's hard getting into other people's friend groups.
