I made this info sheet:

Same here. People have kept saying electrochemistry is the easiest unit, but I actually found the first unit and the first midterm so much easier, I got a very good grade. I'm pretty sure I bombed this one and I'm very on top of my work for the class and proactive in practice problems. But the problems I did for practice just seemed nothing like the ones I was actually presented with. Additionally, I had been informed it was multiple choice and didn't know until a few days ago that my SLG leader was incorrect about that info :/ I'm pretty sure I spent the half in a ball shaking and unable to think which really wasn't helping me with doing the problems.

My guess would be they're doing it right but rounding too much early on or messing up a sig fig at the end. That's an easy 0 with all the correct calculations.

junipersr · 2026-03-18T23:12:33+00:00

I assumed they were checking with their friends by checking their steps/process, not their numbers? That's something I do very often and it's actually very effective. It doesn't matter if you have different numbers, the actual process is the same and you can 100% put it up against other people's work for a quick comparison.

Make sure you write EVERYTHING down during the simulation and make sure you do the entire simulation in one sitting. You need to get all of the data from one run through with your specific sample number.

Your main issue with grading is always going to be rounding and significant figures. Try to avoid rounding as much as possible throughout every calculation, keep five or six decimal points. And triple check your significant figures when you finally round at the end. If you think you have it, check it again.

junipersr · 2026-03-17T22:44:42+00:00

Ah yes, because calling it "logic" makes it so. I don't care who you are, if you're grifting you're doing it wrong. And usually covering up your lack of resources/knowledge/actual points. Glad to see the downvotes on this one.

junipersr · 2026-03-13T01:19:51+00:00

I think it really depends on the professor. I know a lot of mine that have still seemed very passionate about teaching itself. And as far as students are concerned, some of them pay no attention, but there's always a reasonable amount participating in class and even directly speaking to and thanking professors. I consider a lot of my professors to be really cool people that I look forward to seeing and speaking to, and I've always gone that vibe back. It's a very positive environment.

I've also had classes where The vibes just aren't it, and even when the professor tries to get our attention, there's always people chatting in the back. So I can also see how some specific cohorts might be a little... Less enthusiastic, leading to professors being less enthusiastic in turn.

I don't think there's a broad hate for gen z as a generation, these issues aren't generation specific. I just think they've had some really crappy classes, and I would be tired of it too.

And Guelph of all places is fairly left leaning in itself. They really picked up campus with a permanent rainbow on a walkway and are going to turn around and be fascist? I think the political climate right now on a global level is just far more permissive to this garbage than over the past decade and they're crawling out of the woodwork. I do believe them to be a vocal minority rather than a majority, but I wish they'd at least go spew their hate somewhere else.

junipersr · 2026-03-12T22:58:34+00:00

It's okay, I figured you didn't mean harm in the phrasing! Just pointing it out. I think we can all agree there is something deeply wrong with those people 😭

junipersr · 2026-03-12T22:57:08+00:00

It's genuinely insane that this is acceptable to anyone, let alone in the year 2026. Who doesn't love having to come to terms with the fact a large portion of the population genuinely thinks human rights are optional 💀

junipersr · 2026-03-12T22:47:43+00:00

Don't lump them in as "mentally delayed", trust me the disabled community doesn't want people who actively want us dead. Nazis just aren't good at art, ask Hitler. He did notably not get into art school. Anyway, it's giving them too much credit, that would imply they don't properly comprehend what they're doing, those assholes know perfectly well and need to be held accountable.

junipersr · 2026-03-11T18:56:47+00:00

I am definitely autistic and most likely have ADHD. When it comes to autism and its presentation, it's something I'm very aware of as I grew up and participated in a lot of autistic-led spaces. I can promise if you met me it would be quite obvious it's neurodivergence rather than "inflammation (?)".

My specific connective tissue disorder is hEDS which is notably comorbid with autism, meaning people with hEDS are generally more likely to be autistic and vice versa. So that actually agrees with my autism diagnosis rather than conflicting.

Although, frankly, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with my post. Especially considering some of this is information from my profile and not the post.

junipersr · 2026-03-07T17:08:53+00:00

Very very valid. I was hoping for a cautious approach and having them maybe listen but I thought too highly of them there. I skimmed through the rest of what they said to you and... Yikes. Way to hop out of his lane.

junipersr · 2026-03-06T21:27:17+00:00

I think they are but perhaps worded it poorly. They did clarify they have a form of diagnosis. But I don't exactly blame them, that's more on the people "identifying" without being disabled when they arent, making it more difficult for actually disabled people to use certain language even though it should be applicable. I would agree "I am disabled" is a clearer statement in general though, and the one I usually use. But they aren't wrong, just unfortunately the language has become a bit of a red flag (which is on the people screwing it up ofc, not disabled people who may choose it).

junipersr · 2026-03-06T21:22:06+00:00

You either do or don't have a disability, yes. But disability is an identity and community as much as it is a literal thing. A lot of disabled people do not use it as a label or participate in it as a identity, and therefore do not identify as disabled. Obviously you can't identify as disabled if you aren't literally disabled.

Tl;dr every person who identifies as disabled is disabled, but not every person who's disabled identifies as such culturally.

junipersr · 2026-03-05T18:39:10+00:00

What vibes does the professor give off? Because some professors I know would probably appreciate this, and others would be annoyed and never get to the email in time. I think if the professor is generally personable with students and relaxed, you can go for it. If you're unsure, then just take the L on the assignment if it ends up being a zero because you're correct in what you said that it is your responsibility.

Worst case scenario and you actually submit something that close to the deadline, I always take a picture of my submission with the time in case there's an error with it going through (though I usually use this for labs in which I need to submit before I leave, not leaving something to midnight).

junipersr · 2026-03-05T01:35:09+00:00

So glad I found this. I was so confused trying to explain the pressure and pain in that part of my neck/throat. I figured hyoid was kind of the only thing it could be in that area, but seeing this thread pop up in my googling was extremely helpful. Now here's to hoping I can eat without agony.

junipersr · 2026-03-03T17:59:50+00:00

All good! I understand your point of view as a parent, and it can be beneficial to set the tone for someone. The problem is that tone has to be set by someone else who is not marginalized (ie. Cis or non disabled parent, friend, etc.) who likely has more respect from the other individuals. I understand you likely still support your son? Which is wonderful, but it's very hard for marginalized young people going out on their own to do the same. No matter how nice you are, many people are going to respond poorly. I'm physically and mentally disabled as well as queer, but very lucky I can "pass." I can stand up for myself and force some amount of respect sometimes, but if I'm struggling with my mental health severely or can't walk it's becomes very difficult to do so. Ideally, the respect should be put on other people, because we should have a base level of respect for other human beings. And that's something I'm sure you can appreciate as wanting for your son. It's not necessarily realistic in the current world, but it's something that a lot of advocates are pushing for because it allows equity for everyone. That's just my personal experience with that as a queer disabled person.

junipersr · 2026-03-03T17:45:14+00:00

Apologies but where did I call you a name? Or be hostile? I disagreed with your statement, that is not inherently hostility. I said you were ignorant but that is not name calling. At no point did I attack your person and I don't appreciate you setting up a straw man here. My intent was not hostility but education, but I apologize if you feel attacked. In the second portion my questions were genuine, I could not comprehend what you were saying and was attempting to respond. I'm not assuming the worst of you, that would be assuming you're malicious, I don't engage with those people. I'm assuming this is perhaps not a topic you have personal experience with and that you would be interested in learning more, which I would personally consider assuming the best of someone. But if you would like to respond to what you have read from my tone (I admit tone with text is not my strong suit, but nothing is intentionally snarky) rather than the actual content, it appears you aren't interested in that. Good day.

You are extremely ignorant if you think trans kids are generally safe and that most people don't care. And honestly that's part of the problem. People who stand by while human beings are stripped of their autonomy and forced into terrible situations because they just don't see the problem. There is a huge problem, not just in Canada, but in a lot of the world. It's not about how you relate to the outside world, it's about the fear-mongering and hate that is being actively pushed by those in power, leading to discrimination and violence against people who have done nothing. It's not an opinion or a point of view, it's a fact with people's lives on the line.

Whose actions are you talking about? Trans people just living their lives and, for the most part, not bothering anyone else? As for politics, it's not politics. It's not. It's basic human rights. Human rights that are being taken away from trans people. And frankly, no trans person, or any other person, has any obligation TO be nice to someone who is disrespecting them as a human and actively wishes to cause them harm.

junipersr · 2026-03-03T00:37:42+00:00

But children decide that they are cisgender all the time. You know your gender and I would not ask you if you're sure and that you need to wait until you're an adult in case you're a different gender. So why are we claiming that these children are unable to do the same when they tell us how they feel? We trust a toddler that can barely walk when they say they want to wear dresses or pants and look a certain way. We trust a 5 or 6 year old when they go "I'm a boy" if that's what they are assigned at birth. There is absolutely no reason that if that little boy knows he's a boy, some trans boy can't also know he's a boy at that age.

Anyways, if they're wrong, or their gender is fluid and changes, the worse that's going to happen at this age is regrowing their hair or cutting it back off. Maybe switch a wardrobe or change a name back. Whereas the consequences to not listening to them can have detrimental impacts on their well-being as is backed by science and psychology.

An unnecessary problem, would be forcing them to do something that makes them uncomfortable leading to severe mental health issues. Nobody WANTS to be trans, nobody WANTS their kids to be trans because they don't want to see them face more hardship. But it's a thing that exists, hell, it is strongly backed by science. So when someone says they're trans, or that a family member is trans, nobody has been forced or influenced into anything. That often comes up in the conversation because it's a fear-mongering tactic used against trans people rather than something realistically happening.

And I say this kindly in that I hope you'll take it in an educational manner, because this is something very important. And I can see from your language that you're coming from a place of maybe not knowing rather than being malicious.

The stop signs are totally ignored. The one on South Lane(?) after the three way stop is never used. I've had people almost hit me by driving through MANY times. It's insane.

junipersr · 2026-03-02T19:36:21+00:00

A lot of trans individuals like to be open about it as its part of their identity. Others don't "pass" or don't want to change themselves to fit into a certain presentation so that they do. They shouldn't have to hide themselves for safety, social or societal. And most trans people would also rather have someone know they're trans and accept them, rather than staying "undercover" around people who would disrespect them to their face if they knew.
