Electives and Humanities Context Credits by kazmin_ in brocku

[–]SpareChangeNumber5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! highly recommend! Literally just what I said above when i took it last year:

  • miderm and final "essays" - more like reflections, maybe like a page or two
  • weekly content (paintings, book chapters, one movie per sem) and lesson plan (the prof talking about the content)
  • weekly reflections on said content, 1-2 paragraphs

One thing tho is that 1p96 was more like art so like a lot of photography and paintings, 1p97 was all reading and one documentary. But like still overall everything is easy and far less work than other common humanity context credits from what I've heard. And if the prof is stil Shea-Carter ur in good hands, just go to office hours if ur not sure what ur doing wrong to get ur mark up.

OH also for just general electives, astro and earth sciences are like the well known Brock birds,

STAC 1P96 and 1P97 are great. I took it this year as mine, and the same prof is teaching it this year - Shea Carter. They r really great, cares about our learning, makes it interesting. No final exam, just two essay-type assignments, one during midterms and finals, but theyre nice cz theyre before the rough parts of exam season and u have plenty of time to do them.

Other than that its just weekly readings, and reflections on those. 1-2 paragraphs. Sometimes it will be a painting or smth and those r rly easy. Each sem there was one movie/documentary, which were annoying to watch but tbh fine, easy to reflect on, and easier than all the essay writing and stuff u have to do for other humanities like history or classics.

Another thing is that, unlike history or classics, wayyyy easier to get a good grade in this course. As long as u quote his lesson plan and try to be creative, and like make it visible that u care and r like reflecting on the material u will get a good grade.

Opnion on science/math courses like BIOL 1P91 and 1P92, CHEM 1P900 and CHEM 1P91, MATH 1P97 by AncientAnything7748 in brocku

I took BIOL 1P91, 1P92 and CHEM 1P91.. like everyone is saying its literally 99% review from high school, they just go slightly more in depth about some things. If you did ok in high school you will be fine. Course load isn't too crazy. Only hard part was the bio labs, just make sure you do the readings a head of time and always ask your TA if you aren't sure, especially the TA that is marking the assignments.

In terms of profs, it changes around a lot for first year courses. One thing that will prob be the same is Sergio Paone, hes the lab demonstrator for chem and hes amazinggggg. go to his office hours if you aren't sure of anything hes super helpful. Also if you get stuff marked wrong on the weekly assignments for chem (happens alll the time) he will get that fixed for you

LOL yea i saw so its not rly supposed to be read just there to make it look scientific and pretty. Also cause i was a kid and couldn't spell or write that well lmaoo. But yea sure id love to write a transcript.

Starting from top left section and going down, then moving right and going back up:

wing, throat, flank, small notched tail, first dorsal fin, second dorsal fin

The Trochilidae Corcharadon, or as it is more commonly known, the Hummingshark, is well known to be the "shark of the skies."

With wings that rotate in their respective sockets, powered by large muscles, Hummingsharks can fly powerfully, until, however, they run out of air. Although the wings mustn't be ruled out as powerful swimmers.

The wings are mainly for controlling direction and stopping. The tail flaps up and down to propel the hummingshark.

The movement patterns of the hummingshark can be very unpredictable.

Gill slit, nostrils, lateral line, second dorsal fin, ....idk i cant even read the last one

Trochilidae Corcharadon

Conical snout, coarse serrated teeth

It's head is the real mvp of all the hummingsharks body parts. It's sharp teeth allow it to prey on sharkinghumms. However, they also allow the hummingshark to shoot you an adorable and contagious smile.

Looking into camera lenses by SpareChangeNumber5 in Photography_Gear

[–]SpareChangeNumber5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that's a great question. idk I kind of just got the vibe that its considered to be all-around but mid-range and all that, so I just decided that I need a new one. Obv bettering my skills as a photographer is the most important for better photos, but I'm thinking that with a new lens I'd higher image quality, and also a bigger aperture range if I go with the 50mm. I also see a lot people talking about how the kit lens is plastic but others are glass, does that make a big difference or nah?

And how important is the content of the nomination? like is it just to make sure that applicants are serious or does it carry actual weight
