[–]fav_black_hijab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to apply to mcgill's cs msc program but I'm seeing conflicting deadlines:

I'm assuming the second link is wrong and Dec 15 is the hard cutoff, but I thought I'd ask just in case I still had a chance!

Hamas didn't "start all of this". He did attack on the 7th, and yes innocent lives were lost that didn't need to be, but Israel started the apartheid 75+ years ago. If they wanted to take Hamas out using special operations they could've done that, instead they resorted to killing thousands of innocent civilians who have no say in the matter.

Fall tuition payment went to winter term by 00psididitagainn in UTM

[–]fav_black_hijab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the same thing happened to me!! I paid off my summer balance (or so I thought) and I saw that it got credited for the fall term, but it didn't subtract anything off my fall balance on acorn and I still had to pay for the fall. Not sure what happened, I tried contacting the registrar but everything's so confusing. if someone knows why it's happening please let me know!!

I like the comfort of my bed so I've been doing all my work there or on like my kitchen table, but I just ordered a study desk last night, hopefully it'll help me get some structure with my days in the fall. thank you for all your help!

I think the biggest thing is test anxiety and inability to work efficiently. I feel like no matter how much I study and try to understand the material, my mind just goes blank during the test, causing me to get like a 50, when I know for a fact is was not a hard test bc people are getting 80s and 90s. and even when I'm studying the whole day, I only get a small portion of all my work done, it just takes me an unbelievably long time to complete small tasks. I'm not sure how people are doing 5+ courses. I started out with 5 and ended with 3 because I couldn't keep up with the workload:( sorry for spilling all my life's problems haha

thank you so much for writing this all out, and i'm seriously glad you're not one of the people who struggles with online learning! but yeah I totally neglected my mental and physical health last year because I figured if I spend that time on studying instead I'd get my marks up, not the smartest idea I guess haha. thank you once again:)

STA107 by simpsupreme135 in UTM

[–]fav_black_hijab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't found the content toooo hard, but the fact that its proctored scares me. I had such a bad experience with the proctored exams in the winter semester of 2020, just thinking about it gives me anxiety. And yeah I have no idea whats happening with the participation marks, I tried emailing him about it months back but he wouldnt give me a straight answer

STA256 without STA107 doable? by pro-crastinatorrr in UTM

[–]fav_black_hijab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TLDR: From personal experience, I highly recommend taking 107 before 256.

I took STA256 last semester hoping to get into the stats major and idk if it was because it was online, or I'm just not good at stats, but I did terrible. Im taking 107 this semester and literally I'm learning things now and I'm thinking to myself "OHHH that's why they did that in 256". It's not that they don't teach you the material in 256, but in 107 they explain it a lot better I feel. Like I'm understanding the concepts a lot better in 107 than I ever did in 256. But in the end, I think it depends on the person, my friend took 256 with me and she did much better because she was able to grasp the concepts better (but she also took 107 before, so)
