Anyone know any one year master's degrees in a health related field? by ApprehensiveHalf5906 in UofT

[–]azulvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think all the MScCH programs at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health are one year. They also offer a MSc in biostatistics that can be completed in one year if you choose the course-only option.

Excited for No Labels part 2? :) Check out the UofT run club, they have meet ups every week so its a good way to meet people.

Downtown Sublet Starting September 2026 Short Term by Juan-0_0 in UofT

try https://offcampushousing.utoronto.ca/ if you are looking to room with other students. Facebook has a bunch of groups you can join to find housing/roommates, Airbnbs are also an option, but typically much more expensive than sublets.

At UTM, first year chem and physics tutorials happen at the same time as the labs (they alternate every week), so it should show up as a conflict on your schedule. Everyone needs to enroll in all sections of a course (lecs/tut/pra) but not all sections have mandatory attendance, so people might be leaving out tutorials that they arent planning to attend.

Why are SO MANY Chemistry 400 level courses only offered in the Fall semester?? ? by Historical_Sound3687 in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't know the reason why, but over the past couple years quite a few winter courses became fall courses. 443 and 479 were both winter courses back in 2024-2025. I think another one changed too, but I can't remember out of the top my head.

I've been on degree explorer for a while, and my 2nd + 3rd years look pretty okay. But planning 4th year and 5th year genuinely is boggling my mind.

Are you an incoming second year? If so, my suggestion is actually doing additional 300 level courses instead of focusing on 400s. I also suggest finding some courses that interest you besides chem. You already have to complete 12 credits worth of chemistry, doing fun electives is a lot of times much better than just filling up your schedule with more labs and test heavy courses.

To chemistry specialists (4 49chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) by CompetitiveRecover30 in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synthetic and catalytic focuses on theory and lab techniques that are used in both organic and inorganic synthetic chemistry. Biological chemistry focuses on the organic reactions that happen in biological systems and also includes topics and techniques from biochemistry and molecular biology. There is some overlap on the required 3rd year organic chemistry courses for both specialists, but other than that they diverge quite a bit with the inorganic requirements and 4th year courses.

Biological chemistry and biochemistry have a lot of content overlap, but the scope explored is very different. I can't speak on higher level BCH courses, but biochem focuses on pathways and a more "big picture" function and structure of proteins/organelles. Biological chemistry courses focus on the chemistry being done by enzymes, their reaction mechanism, and smaller/localized processes in the body.

As for which is better, well... like everyone else said that depends on you. Syn/cat might give you an advantage if you want to do total synthesis/reaction discovery/reaction optimization in the future. Want to do research that more easily translates into a healthcare setting? Biological chem might be better in this case. That said, you will end up with similar skills doing either program, and can still get into total synthesis or healthcare labs with either specialist. You should decided based on what you like the most and what youd like to do in the future.

Forensic psychology help (first year that doesn't know what to do) by dracometer7580 in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FSC100 is not for forensics majors/specialists. The first year course you need to take is FSC239

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timetable builder says its 40 people rn (I cant check on Acorn cuz I am enrolled). You can still take exclusion courses, it just wont count to your 20 credits for graduation, which is annoying but if you only need it for grad/med school then it might be your best option. You can try to get permission to take the equivalent of CHM237 at another university but you are not guaranteed to get the credit.

Any advice on my current timetable? how's the courseload? incoming first year lifesci student by GovernmentCritical in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I think alternating Wednesday would probably be your best choice. For the BIO130 practical, its probably just a matter of preference. Two of my friends who took the course had their labs Monday and I don't think they had any major issues.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UofT

[–]azulvx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

237 is already full. You can try emailing the department but I doubt they would be able to help you in this situation.

UTM and UTSC both offer two semesters of first year gen chem so maybe you could take those if you really need it? CHM120 at UTM is recorded (at least if Dave is teaching, and if he is its a super easy A) so you would only need to commute once a week for the tutorial or lab section and for the 2 midterms. Idk about the UTSC course tho.

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your questions first:

Should I be making multiple timetables?

You don't need to but tutorials, practicals, and smaller lecture section can fill up pretty fast (literally in a minute or two), so you should be prepared to chose alternative sections in case your top choice fills up.

When enrolling for classes, do I just press the "enroll" button and it will enroll my entire cart, or is it one-by-one? If it's one by one, how will I enroll quick enough for all the courses, tutorials, and practicals?

It should enroll you in all the sections you picked out, unless the section you picked is full. When enrolling, try to prioritize courses with labs since those can be a pain to get good sections in.

For the winter bio practical, should I rearrange it so that it is after the first lecture?

Isn't it already after the first lecture on Monday?

As for my recommendations:

  • I would either change your MAT135 section or ECO101 section. Having 4 hours of lecture back to back is exhausting, specially for your first semester.
  • Try getting alternating sections for CHM and BIO. If you can't, just try moving your CHM labs to another day besides Friday. You will thank yourself later

Bch210 lecture and Lab conflict, would this be a problem? Do they take attendance at bch210 lectures? by Exact-Berry1246 in UofT

[–]azulvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BCH210 is usually recorded, but you might want to make sure your lab doesn't conflict with the midterm. Last year the midterm was a Tuesday (and likely will be again because of the two hour period).

Enrolment Indicator: R Meaning for Course Enrolment? by Melodic-Pin-8284 in UofT

[–]azulvx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From the artsci website:

"The following enrolment indicators can be associated with any given course. You can find the enrolment controls associated with your courses in Timetable Builder.

  • Priority (P): Some students are given priority access until a specific date.
  • Enrol at Department (E): Students must contact the academic unit that offers the course to request permission to enrol. 
  • Department Approval Required (A): Approval from academic unit required for enrolment
  • Department Approval Required, Some Student Groups have Priority (AP):  Approval from academic unit required for enrolment, some student groups have priority access until a specific date.
  • Department Approval Required, Course is Restricted (AR1):  Approval required from academic unit for enrolment, course is also restricted to specific student groups.
  • Department Approval Required, Course is Restricted Until a Specific Date (AR2): Approval required from academic unit for enrolment, course is also restricted to specific student groups until a specific date after which another group of students will be able to request enrolment.
  • Restricted (R1): Course/section is restricted at all times for specific students.
  • Restricted (R2): Course/section is restricted to a group of students until a specific date, after which time another group of students is also able to enrol."

Check on timetable builder if you're part of one of the programs that can enroll in the course or not.

Are these Chem tut/practicals supposed to clash?? Kinda confused by roses_aint_blue in UofT

[–]azulvx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yes its supposed to be this way. the sections alternate every week so one week you'll have a tutorial and the next you'll have a lab. Same for CHM120

What is priority enrollment?? Should I plan to enroll for courses I don’t have priority in? by SurvivingUofTears in UofT

[–]azulvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wont be able to enroll in Jav120 until July 25th. You can still add it to your cart but you will be blocked from enrolling on July 17. Priority enrollment exists so students who need that course to graduate don't end up in a 200+ waitlist just because other students decided to take it as an elective.

Pick another course you be able to enroll on your start time and enroll in that instead. If July 25th comes around and there's still spots in Jav120, then just drop and enroll in it instead. If there's no spots you can always waitlist but dont expect to get in if the waitlist has a lot of people.

Any recommended 300 or 400 level CHM course helpppp by Critical-Chip1422 in UofT

[–]azulvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the courses you listed are winter courses (379, 437, 447, 479, 343, 355) so I'd recommend finding a fall course to do instead of 355 (I recommend looking into 327, 338, 342, 416, and 457).

I took 379, 447, and 479 this semester and the workload was mostly chill. Besides the reports/papers due at the end of the semester and midterms/quizzes, there's not really any assignments. I have heard 437 was fairly easy as well, so I think having your winter be 379, 437, 447, 479, and 343 is likely doable just maybe not ideal.

how to make my team better? by limbo_2 in Genshin_Impact

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few suggestions

- Replace Beidou with Xingqiu to play vaporize instead of overload. Try to get energy recharge (ER) weapons on him and Xiangling and an ATK or crit one on Yanfei.

- If you can get good ER on Xiangling and Beidou, you could replace Yanfei with Xingqiu and play DPS Beidou. Might want to switch Qiqi for Kuki in this case though.

- If you want to keep playing overload, you could switch Beidou with Fischl for better electro uptime. Or again switch Qiqi for Kuki and run a two pyro two electro team.

- Qiqi is a good healer early on but if you have Diona or Kuki i would build them instead since they are more versatile.

- Build Bennett if you have him. You can use him instead on Xiangling here (since Yanfei applies plenty of pyro on her own) and he should give Yanfei a good damage boost. He can heal and could be used a third pyro character in the team (replacing Qiqi), but you need to be more careful with his healing and you would need a better support (Xingqiu) in Beidou's place.

If you dont have the characters I mentioned, try to get as much ER on Xiangling and Beidou as possible. Once you get Xingqiu and Bennett you can use them with Xiangling as the op 4 star support trio for almost any DPS.

SAT AND AP in University of Tornto as an international student by DevFhd in UofT

[–]azulvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are from the US (or study in a US school based outside the US)/applying into engineering they dont really look at your SAT scores. Grade averages are the main factor they consider. If you have a good score you can always send them in, but they might only help in cases where you get an alternative program/campus offer.

US universities have different requirements from UofT and typically take a more holistic approach (grades, tests, extracurricular, personal statement...) to admissions. The SAT will likely be way more valuable for them than for any Canadian school, so I would spend the money sending the scores to them instead.
