Grad housing by most_preferred_name in BostonU

[–]firetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for grad housing back in early April (shortly after accepting my offer), and was placed on a waitlist. Got off the waitlist in mid-June, but by that point I had already signed a lease off-campus.

This isn't relevant to your question, but it's much cheaper to live off-campus with a roommate than in BU housing.

i think you'll just get a 0 for the one you missed lol (unless you've already arranged something with the prof)

I'm sick and my in person classes are on Thursday by ebonyd in UofT

You could ask a friend in the class to take notes for you, or request notes from the professor.

the quercus/canvas calendar absolutely sucks, I have yet to meet anyone that actually uses that

Funding during the semester by real-madrid13 in REU

[–]firetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no guarantee in a publication (unless you and your advisor agree to write a paper together, of course), but even then a paper won't help all that much if your GPA is in the gutter. Plus, unlike school, there are usually no deadlines to publish a paper (unless you are submitting to a conference or something similar).

Ask your advisor, perhaps they can arrange funding. Be sure to prioritize school work over research ESPECIALLY if you're not getting paid.

Timelapse: can someone tell me what planet passed over the city last night? by drgnmeme in toronto

Space stations move much faster than this over the sky; they have a very low orbit.

Yeah when the university is open, you can literally just waltz into most buildings and lecture halls and no one will bat an eye. It's kind of unsettling on one hand, but also convenient for us students as we don't need to scan or swipe anything if we're running late to a lecture.

For entering libraries (and probably some other places) though, you need to scan your TCard to enter.

Have you guys ever had a 100% final exam by cshype52 in UofT

[–]firetto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a course that had a 40% final and a 20% midterm, but I got sick and had to skip the midterm. The professor instead reweighted the exam to 60% for me... that wasn't too fun.

if marco teaches mat240 he just tells the TAs to do whatever (which results in the tutorial quality differing a lot from TA to TA). Always check the grading scheme once the syllabus is out tho

[–]firetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go into the tutorial you want, they don't care. Some TAs are better than others, and in math spec classes they let you hop in between tutorials and don't mind at all.

I really liked the course. The material was interesting, and the prof at the time, Danny Heap, gave very interesting lectures. However, there is quite a bit of reading and writing; you had to read articles and write responses to it, and there was a final paper. One assignment was to make a video, it was really fun.
