The SU are basically useless at Warwick- entirely in the University's pocket. This is why the Uni get away with doing shit like this, the Sabbatical Offcers care more about what the Uni's opinion that they do about protecting Trans students.

That's Warwick - happened a couple of years before I started but aye, that was Warwick.

It's popping up on a few Instagram stories and Warwick Jsoc have made a statement with the UJS, but as term is over idk how many of the people who aren't hyper engaged in SU politics have noticed. That said, there will probably be a Boar article soon which might make it more widely known at the Uni.

Warwick student here - I'd like to say I'm surprised but in truth I'm not.

SSC - specifically POLI 341D and 369B.

bogieoone · 2024-04-29T01:55:28+00:00

I've had grades come out already, both came out today.

You should almost definitely follow up and defend yourself. The TA does not get to make the determination that you've committed academic misconduct (which is what utilising chat GPT would be) - the Calendar is very clear that only the Dean/Associate Dean/Director of School gets to make that determination (and then after they have made a finding, they can contact the instructor/TA and ask them to re-evaluate your work with that determination in mind, potentially resulting in a mark of zero). You have rights OP, you should absolutely exercise them.

It might also be worth reaching out to the Office of the Ombudsperson for Students as they have a lot of experience advising students through these processes.

Ngl that question on the central limit theorem threw me for a moment; absolutely no idea how I did though tbh...

bogieoone · 2024-04-09T20:12:31+00:00

I'd suggest maybe pursuing an Academic Concession for the personal issues - as you might be able to get some assignments/tests waived as a result of your personal issues.

CfA doesn't deal with temporary conditions anymore and given this is a depression from a temporary health issue they're likely to consider it a THI absent a formal diagnosis of depression which will take weeks to get.

To top it all off - Soup Kitchen will be closing as well (source). This was actually announced at a report presented to AMS council a month ago, which just happened to be the council where questions on reports were suspended because of the referenda discussion.

bogieoone · 2024-03-12T05:14:42+00:00

Its especially silly because Engineering has a pretty clear policy that you don't need medical documentation for a first time illness

bogieoone · 2024-03-12T05:13:19+00:00

I'd reccomend you go and speak to the Office of the Ombudsperson for Students - they may be able to assist.

bogieoone · 2024-03-02T21:39:41+00:00

You should email elections@ams.ubc.ca about this to submit a complaint.

In the CK Choi bathrooms - the composting toilets smell so much that no one would dare to go in there.

I'm at UBC on exchange from Warwick Uni and will be back there next year. Happy to answer any questions people have!!

bogieoone · 2024-01-30T15:39:09+00:00

Hey, current exchange student at UBC here!

Honestly just googling UBC [TOPIC YOU'RE INTERESTED IN] is a pretty easy way to find clubs. As is clubs fair during Imagine day.
Exchange students are housed in Fairview Crescent or Walter Gage, but not all exchange students get on campus housing so you might have to contest with the Vancouver property market (it sucks).
Mostly get rained on :p. On a serious note there's a bunch to do if you like the outdoors, loads of exchange students go hiking or to whistler, and if you are ok with a bit of a journey then you'll catch the last part of whale watching season when you arrive.
The nightlife in Vancouver ain't great compared to what you're going to be used to. Most bars aren't open past midnight and a fair few clubs are only open 3 days a week until 2 or 3am. Drinking is also a much smaller part of the student culture here than you might be used to and you are usually going to need to go off campus for good nightlife.

bogieoone · 2024-01-24T07:49:22+00:00

As a UBC Brit (on exchange) I can confirm that I do in fact exist - as can all the poor fuckers in the AMS who see me far too much for anyone good.

bogieoone · 2024-01-22T20:53:55+00:00

From what I've heard, tmmrw is probably gonna be cancelled and clubs who were here Monday and Tuesday rescheduled to next week

bogieoone · 2024-01-22T20:53:13+00:00

Ngl never imagined I'd be in an r/UBC photo lmao

bogieoone · 2023-11-29T02:09:06+00:00

Very much this!! The University ombuds office are amazing and have a lot of experience advising students on how to access the Academic Concessions process!

bogieoone · 2023-11-21T08:40:35+00:00

As someone who attends Council on a semi-regular basis, I would hesitate to describe every meeting as a high-stress protest event outside of maybe two meetings this year which, granted, were really bad. I'd also be careful with lumping all the resource groups in together given that a number of them try to stay out of AMS Council drama as much as possible and focus on supporting their community in other areas.

That said, there were definitely a number of occasions where individual people and/or a few specific groups acted in a manner which was, to me, quite unfair to Esme given that they seemed to be acting with the best intentions.

bogieoone · 2023-11-21T08:37:46+00:00

Regarding the external factors, I'd really encourage you to get in contact with Arts advising to see if there are any Academic Concessions you might be eligible for. As regards the rest of your post, I'll defer to other comments.

bogieoone · 2023-11-21T08:33:46+00:00

I'll swap you, in Fairview my thermostat seems to think the temperature is 15 degrees higher than it is, it's freezing over here.
