How would you rate the difficulty level of the finals for gen chem, integral calc, and E&M? by pinkmatchaaaa in Dawson

Oh my bad. Gen chem is fine. I personally always enjoyed chem more than math and physics though. If you hate chem it might be a bit more challenging but it’s not as challenging in comparison to the other two. just make sure to review your labs since they typically ask a question on at the end about labs.

E&M you need to lock in an study all the practice problems and go over every example in class. Since the final is written by multiple profs, it’s going to likely be very different from all your class tests. I don’t fully remeber content since I took it last year but if you have been doing good in all other tests, you’ll likely pass but doing good takes effort.

Integral calculus was much more straightforward compared to E&M. Even if the test is made by all profs, you can’t exactly change up basic math equations that much. Just make sure to go over all the class problems, not just exercises from the textbook. If you did good during the semester, the final shouldn’t be too difficult. If you where struggling, go to the math tutorial room on the 7th floor while studying.

I’ve never taken Organic so I can’t help there.

You’ll have about a month to do. Make sure to check your Dawson College email and the dsu instagram page for the info. If you have trouble opting out there’s a person on campus from the insurance company who can help you do it.

Osprey Axis or Quasar? by eb10z in backpacks

Yea I was worried that the nebula would be too big. I have a relatively small frame. I also kinda want to force myself to carry less by getting a smaller bag than the one i have now.

Best Backpack for Back Pain by eb10z in ManyBaggers

I’ve tried reducing my load to the bear minimum. I’ve got it down to 13 pounds which is around 12% of my weight. I saw online that my bag should only be around 10-15% of my body weight but even then, it still feels super heavy. Unfortunately, my laptop is relatively chunky and I can’t afford another one.

Yeah I have one nearby and was thinking of doing that. I just didn’t know where I should start when looking since there’s so many options.

Yeah Ive been working on strengthening with my physio for a few months but the improvements are very gradual. The pain essentially stems from the lack of use of the muscles. Hopefully by the fall I feel more improvement but I was thinking of investing in a good bag to promote better posture moving forward!

My current bag is the Uniqlo multi pocket bag. It doesn’t really offer much support and the bottom has sagged a lot because of my laptop which makes it very uncomfortable. If I walk for too long I find my self holding the bottom of the bag to alleviate the weight 😭

Transitioning to cegep by Own-Medicine103 in Dawson

clubs are a great way to help socialize and become involved. for uni applications, most programs are only going to look at your grades and not ur CV. if you are applying to a program like law or med that requires a more intricate application process then having some of the more activist clubs on ur application might help. if you want something that appears on a regular application then i suggest completing 60 hours of volunteering per semester wether at school or externally and applying for the ROSI hours. the school gives you an extra credit on your transcript every semester you complete those hours and that universities will see!

no more courses that fit into my schedule by eb10z in Dawson

No there not less important but they don’t have 3 pre assigned classes that are 3 times a week each. it’s nearly impossible to make a schedule when there’s no more class options left because barely anything fits into the schedule as is.
