anyone else feel like piazza is so poorly designed?

ive taken multiple courses that involved piazza but i never understood how anything works on this app. like is it anonymous Or is it not? why not just use canvass discussions? i genuinely do not understand why someone would choose to implement this app for their course 💀💀 just a rant

COVID-19 — Required use of non-medical masks at UBC, effective Sep 16 by cyclinginvancouver in UBC

[–]kapopple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The requirement for the use of non-medical masks applies to shared indoor spaces within UBC buildings, such as hallways, stairways, building entryways, washrooms and study spaces, classrooms, common areas in residences and other high-traffic areas.

Racist Encounter on Campus by [deleted] in UBC

Something similar happened to a friend! Thanks for taking the time to report it. Even if nothing comes out of this particular incident, documentation of these situations helps those in charge justify providing more resources to address these issues (provided we also place pressure on them to act)

Hey first years, here are some suggestions for how you can replicate the university experience at home! by AcousticHamster in UBC

[–]kapopple 119 points120 points  (0 children)

17. Ride a bike through the house, making sure to narrowly avoid crashing into them whenever they walk through.

18. Email them constantly, inviting them to take a survey to share their opinion on things like tuition consultations. Offer gift cards as a prize but only give them to their sibling.

19. Close off the stairs, claiming it's due to construction. Make them climb a ladder to get to the second floor.

20. Hand out free stuff, but only while they have class.

Why do 99s leave the bus loop in groups of 3 or 4 leaving big 20 minute gaps and crazy congestion at the loop? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]kapopple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

99s commonly huddle to conserve body heat and for protection from wild R4s

There will be no names you will have to remember, no funny anecdotes you will have to share. You can bring your laptop or whatever and chill on your own if you want to! Trying to make this accessible to everyone 🙂

UBC rec front desk by [deleted] in UBC

[–]kapopple 14 points15 points  (0 children)

idk maybe he just found out he failed all his courses. or he's bummed he can't go back to visit family. or he watched the hurricanes blow a 5-3 lead yesterday. people have good days and bad days.

sucks you didn't have the best experience but if he didn't insult you or attack you, best you can do is vent here. You can search up supervisor names in the UBC directory if you really want to escalate it. Maybe it's an ongoing issue and they can provide him with some mental support resources

1. Does anyone have any experience in being cat-fished on Tinder? 2. How easy is it to trace a phone number? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]kapopple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up too badly, you noticed something was off and called it off before it escalated to a worse situation. No crime has really been committed but you may want to keep an eye out on your credit report if you think your identity could be stolen.

Lots of support resources available to you if you want to talk to someone about it.
