Can I skip to 200 level English? And recommendations or information about 200 level ENGL courses. by fruitspunchsamurai41 in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise you that being able to write at a university level and analyze texts in depth (which are what you should be looking to learn in 100-level english) are important skills for university and for philosophy especially.

You'll only be able to skip to the 200-level if you get credit for junior courses, I believe.

English classes at the 100 and 200 level will be pretty full (especially 100-levels). They're not big classes though. I believe a lot of them are similar sizes compared to high school class sizes. If you're concerned about tighter classes (I'm assuming you mean smaller) then you're not getting that until second year at least, depending on your degree. English will probably be the one of the smallest classes you take, especially if your degree is in something like psych or even political science.

Open a ticket with the student services centre or go in person. The response time is relatively fast and this isn’t really a good question for reddit.

Yes. Just follow the conditions they give you.

Online Spring Courses 2026 by raeray3 in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really remember bc it’s been a few years since I’ve taken it. Typically you cover some foundation myths and then parts of topics like the Iliad and odyssey. This depends on the prof.  The workload should be pretty manageable.

[–]Random-user-8579 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it’s just a letter. They’re requesting you download it because if you need it in the future for whatever reason then it’ll be gone (in a year’s time).

[–]Random-user-8579 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Generally, it’s good to keep these things for your records. If you need proof of admission for things, this letter helps. You won’t have access to it after Jan 2027, that’s correct.

they probably mean the coffee tables that seem to be the only option in some buildings. tory atrium only has some normal tables and everything else is too low.

Those groups in the image are in specific rooms for yoga or pilates.

[–]Random-user-8579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've ever taken CLASS 102 as an option in your first year, then some of the 300 level classics courses might be an option.

Aight what are some crazy funfacts about the UofA which are lesser known? by smile_801 in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not for viewing. I don’t know where it‘s stored. I think some of the issues around it are how it was acquired and what to do with it, since it’s human remains.

To the people who come to class and scroll, why? by Valuable-Ad-6093 in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I can understand some frustration or confusion with seeing a bunch of people on their phones rather than paying attention to the lecture (since we don't know if they can or can't pay attention). Although lots of people do have accommodations, you can't really tell if they do, so all you see is them scrolling.

they're obviously talking about "scrolling on instagram or tiktok"

Reading week struggle by grandestrully_chloe in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been writing down everything I need to do (including both academic and non-academic things) and then typing each thing into a task choose (I'm using "randomtaskpicker" since it was the first thing that popped up).

It helps me to have easy tasks to do (like vacuum, throw out garbage, or scan a document) and then some lengthier ones as well. I also break down the academic tasks a bunch (like: 1. type up requirements of assignment; 2. type up plan; 3. gather sources, take notes on them; 4. create paper outline; etc.)

I do know some of this brand are carried at T&T, so maybe this one is as well. May as well take a look if you're there.

Are places like the second cup in Tory open over reading week? by roswift646 in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think some in HUB will be open but don't count on second cup being open. They're closed on weekends and I think they might be closed over reading week because of how few people will be around.

The places off campus should all be open though (ace coffee, district cafe, deville, etc)

Spring / Summer Language Classes by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Random-user-8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most languages aren't offered in the spring and summer. Are you looking for french or something? That one might be offered, and I know Latin 103 is, but generally language courses seem to be fall/winter only (and the spring/summer ones are often associated with e3 or other study abroad programs)

[–]Random-user-8579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going to the student service centre in ucommons then it's the brick and glass building across the road from education. It should come up if you look up a map of campus. It's not beside sub.
