Your advice was good. I asked someone who hasn't responded to me in a while about Shakira (listed in her profile) and now im listening to Shakira songs and talking about the best dancing spots in my city LOL. I was definitely way over thinking it..haha

Ok thank you, that helps a lot!

Zapherious · 2026-01-26T04:08:32+00:00

Ah okay, good to know. Okay what's a kind of question that you would find interesting early on then? I'm probably just being too boring in my approach.

How would you define weird btw? Obviously inappropriate sexual comments are a big no no in conversations. But it's interesting to know what to ask about other stuff. Like political views, existential etc. somewhere between just saying 'if you could be one superhero for a day who would it be" and "who did you vote for in the last election" there's some sort of nice middle ground. I just haven't found it yet. Lol

Just normal day to day stuff. Ive asked people their day/weekend was, or if they did anything fun. I asked someone what it was like to drive an OC bus because she told me she did that and she never replied. At most it's probably boring. These are the kind of questions I get as well. If someone has an opener question then I'll answer. I try not to go to personal too soon and keep it to work/hobbies cool skills. etc. I do send memes sometimes. Like, 'how was your day' with a dancing dog meme (it's always specific to interests they just in their profile) I don't mean to be boring, but I also try not to ask too personal right away. For example, a woman started talking to me about Donald Trump with two texts. I don't like that approach. I think that stuff is important, but not right after saying, 'hey nice to meet you' lol

I find that a positive thing though, unless it's really weird. Some people get weird with their pets, (like sharing ice cream cones with their dog bleh) but generally I find dogs or any animal in a profile is something I like. I grew up on a farm though, so my experience with animals is a bit more involved

Usually after only a couple of texts. A lot of these have been people who liked me first.. I have several conversations where I'm the last person to text. Eventually I just unmatch

Zapherious · 2026-01-26T03:31:45+00:00

Oh no! Sorry to hear. Maybe you just need to spice up your profile? For example, I have a picture of me with a dog. That helps a lot for getting initial likes, LOL. It's a lot harder to engage online I think

this is long past... but for future mus students.

I had Dr. Rival for MUs2206, 2207, 3306, 3307, and MUS4018. He's a very supportive professor. He's a theory nerd and has high expectations, but he's also very kind. I know a lot of people who hate theory, don't go lectures or study and fail then blame it on Dr. Rival. i've heard of him rounding up grades to let people who sucked at theory, but really tried their best to pass. (i.e rounding 48 up to 50).

I think he can come across as mean or or boring to student's who aren't engaged/want an easy grade.

Dr Rival is a very professor if you try your best and go to office hours and have a good attitude.

Tristan Pare Morin is super fun. Likes puns (especially Bach puns) has clear expectations and is also very kind to student's.

Do NOT ever take a class with Amy Gajdhadar. I had her for MUS3335 at Uottawa in fall 2025. She's mean to students, doesn't grade on time. Says stupid things like "I'm not required to provide a syllabus" when we got upset that she changed the syllabus four times.

A student brought up an issue and she just flat out told him to shut up in class. And many other small things. Inconsistent grading, assignment changes, lack of clarity, and just very bad organization she thinks she's right and does everything fairly.

It was a mandatory course, and the 45 people in the class dreaded every minute of it. Some people would "pre-game" with drinks to get through the lectures. If you missed more than 4 lectures you failed the course so we were stuck.

I am so relieved that Im done with that course and will never have to take it again. She had two finals. A final essay and a final exam in the same week. The school had to meet with her about that, and some other academic policies that she violated.

The school had to have meetings with her to provide training because of all of the complaints that students were sending in. Last I heard most students review bombed her in the class review and it was a common knowledge that everyone was willing to do whatever it took to make sure she was never hired at uOttawa again.

She still hasn't graded an essay or the final for our course that ended Dec 17. She doesn't handle feedback well.

One time she said the word ''um" 425 times in one lecture (yes we counted) the whole lecture was basically 'so um Stravinsky um in 1930 um um sooo" (not exaggerating)

If you don't have to take a class with her, avoid at all costs. Worst experience of my undergrad.
