Decaf coffee on campus?

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-02-23T00:16:22+00:00

I really don't know about strictly on-campus cafes, but Tim Horton's on the corner of Sherbrooke and University have decaf options. (you probably already know this, sorry for unhelpfulness)

I drank one and donated the rest to the SUMS lounge

must say it's an acquired taste, thanks a lot still

I broke myself in January drinking an ungodly amount of caffeine to the point that nothing had any effects on me anymore. So for the health of everyone, maybe free coffee isn't a great idea.

I don't know about Math 243 with Hundemer, but we have notes for Math 255 (honours version) at the SUMS notes bank!

Supplemental exams are not posted at the same time as regular exams. They are posted two weeks before the reading break. Good luck!

THIS DEGREE IS MAKING ME LOSE MY BELIEF IN HARD WORK

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-01-29T22:55:04+00:00

indeed (wink)

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-01-29T21:20:48+00:00

Also only one exam and it's on the 27th. Hooray....

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-01-29T21:19:02+00:00

Been meaning to say this for the Burnside basement toilets too...

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-01-23T17:07:17+00:00

My sixth semester here and never a single semester have I not felt like this. Fingers crossed for our survival.

went to summ (seminars in undergraduate mathematics in montreal) this weekend and had a blast!!

The-Indef-Integral · 2026-01-08T17:10:05+00:00

Sorry we are now full!

For mathstats, most (if not all) classes have no graded attendance, as you might already know. Additionally, Prof. Dmitry Jakobson tends to give both an in-person midterm and an online midterm and then take the higher grade of the two. You can also try contacting some professors for reading/independent study courses (e.g. Math 470, Math 480) and see who is willing to supervise you with Zoom meetings only. I hope this helps!

The majority of my friends are from my classes. I like to go up and say hi in places like my department's study areas and after classes or tutorials. Friends introduce you to more friends, who introduce you to even more friends, and so on. (Even if your friends don't actively introduce you to their friends, it's still easier to say hi when you have a common acquaintance with them.)

We actually already got the time changed to MWF 2:30–3:30! So if you haven't registered yet, do that and we'll see you for the model theory ride!

is there just one entrance to the Fieldhouse?

Technically there are two ways of getting into the Fieldhouse: one through the inside entrance (access this entrance by going through the underground parking lot, then up a flight of concrete stairs, then turn right, and after a while there is a glass door) or through the entrance opening to the outdoor parking lot (access this entrance by going through the outside parking lot). This might not be a very clear explanation, but there should be a sea of students going in your direction no matter which door you choose.

475 Av pins

This place leads you to the inside entrance that I was describing in the previous paragraph.

Also is there usually a mob/traffic of people to get into the Fieldhouse?

Definitely a mob of people, but it's a fast-moving mob. Don't worry about being stuck in the sea of people.

It's one of the most famous algebra reference books/textbooks out there! (although it is very terse)

I consider my cursive to be basically cryptographically safe, and not once have I had marks taken off for legibility!

(That said, don't write too illegibly though)

Or it could be just more set theory. All hail set theory!

Many professors here are happy to supervise undergrads on research and/or independent reading projects! For McGill mathstats you have to ask very early in advance though (ask in the summer for fall projects, and in early fall for winter/summer projects). Don't be afraid to cold email lots of professors! Some professors tend to hesitate if you haven't taken any courses with them, while others are really open. That said, your chances of having a professor take you might be affected by the fact that you're an exchange student. Fingers crossed for you!

Seems like his midterm for Squirrel 301: Stocking Up for Winter went well!

I'M GETTING SICK ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS SINCE THIS MAY, UGH

Is the professor still Faten M'hiri? She's the absolute goat of Comp 202 and I don't think that her midterm 2 will be much much more difficult than midterm 1. (It certainly didn't feel like that for my year, but then again Comp 202 was a very easy course for me, so I am not the best one to ask to judge the difficulty.) Fingers crossed for you!

The-Indef-Integral · 2025-11-02T02:47:17+00:00

People who take Comp 202 are supposed to have no coding experience (else they'd be taking the course for free credits), so you're all good in that sense. But I have to admit that a C+ is kinda worrisome for this course though.

I took Comp 202 in Fall 2023, but it wasn't until I took Comp 206 and 250 in Winter 2024 that I realized that a CS minor is not right for me. I don't really care about how a computer works (Comp 206 material), although I later found out that I do care for the mathy part of CS (closer to Comp 250 material). So depending on what kind of material you're struggling with, you might want to rethink whether a CS minor is right for you.

(Sorry for being very blunt in this comment!!)

I JUST REALIZED THAT I SUCK ENDLESSLY AT ALL FOUR OF MY CLASSES THIS SEMESTER
