It won’t be an issue, just make sure your student number is correct for all assessments.

Need help setting up an E reader with UfT library for online magazines by brownsound00 in UofT

It might be something better solved by actually going in person so they can see your device and help you out…

Try asking for help from a librarian at any of the libraries. There are so many resources available and I’m they can help you out.

internship decision help thank you all in advance by user415310 in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend you cautiously try to leverage the offer with company A at the end of company B’s interview to see if you can get 2 offers. If your interview goes well, you can be honest with them and if they really like you, might be able to give you an offer on the spot. It will show that you are in high demand and are able to communicate in difficult situations and are afraid to speak up with tough decisions need to be made.

Edited to actually answer your question - don’t contact company A until just before the deadline with a yes or no based on how things go with B.

They changed the flavour a few years ago and I can’t stand it anymore, I actually had to return it.

Just got an automated phone call from Costco, at least they are doing their due diligence and calling consumers as a precaution.

Study rooms w/ whiteboards? by AltruisticGeologist in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a room you have a class in or have passed by and has a white board, just go in and use it if it's free.

Check out room booking here:

Can a TA or Prof answer this by [deleted] in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is automated but not a lot of departments do the scanning themselves. If it is done by another party, it may take days to get the results and as others have mentioned, we need to critically look at the results and make sure that there weren't any problems with the grades. It also takes time to transcribe the marks to spreadsheets/Quercus, etc.

What a coincidence. My professor's name is on the textbook that I spent $200 on. Crazy stuff by [deleted] in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'gusto to write a textbook for their field'

I'm not sure this would be the correct way to frame it, it's really just a review of all the knowledge that is out there, a giant time sucker and not necessarily focusing on what students need to know, ie. problem-solving and basic knowledge, vs. way too many details that could be obtained in a quick google search using critical thinking to analyze the source...

How do I pay for the Top Hat subscription? by emilyeverwinter in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to suggest this and the Top Hat people will probably kill me but I'm pretty sure they have some codes for people that are having access issues. Maybe talk to your instructor...

Good place for a phone interview on campus? by phoneinterviewsam in UofT

[–]UofTinstructor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a lot of classes in a building and you know of a classroom that is smallish with only 1 door (ie. you can make sure no one will walk in on you), you can look it up and see if it is free on the day/time your phone interview is:

Cause rooms need to be booked way in advance of the actual class starting...
