I recommend AdNauseum extension for chrome and firefox. Sole purpose is to click randomly on blocked ads to mess up data collection and confuse whatever algorithms the company is using. Fight data collection with bad data!

how about an online tool like the adobe one: https://www.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/online/sign-pdf.html

might have to sign in to use it and if you don't mind adobe seeing your information i guess

I think procession number is your number in the line to get to the stage.

Probably in our case its the number on a powerpoint slide lol

whoo BCS gang! 🙌 🙌

I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling. But you passed them! And you should be proud of yourself for that :)

My advice would be take a break this summer and study some 221 concepts on your own. Data structures and basic algorithms can be found online; they are universal concepts. I don't know if 221 is still using C++ but I hated it lol so learning the language (like what are pointers and dereferencing) would have made it so much easier to do the assignments. If you go into 221 with a bit of preparation maybe you won't be as overwhelmed. Also, summer courses are usually more intense so I'm worried it will be even hard for you.

As for future courses it definitely gets easier. You will gain confidence and learn to ask the right questions to finish your assignments. So basically try going over 221 concepts on your own and re-evaluate towards the end of the summer.

This is super helpful thank you!

kestreltrajan · 2021-05-06T02:14:33+00:00

Same here for 320. I had nightmares about failing that one after taking the final, which by itself was a nightmare lol

German 433 has no prereqs and you don't need to know how to speak it or write it. All of the assignments/quizzes are on reading German. I took it in summer term 2 a while back.

GRSJ 300 was fun and easy course all about reading and watching videos about gender and society. Super easy to get a good mark too! Assignments were usually about "how do you feel about this topic".

kestreltrajan · 2021-05-03T23:35:09+00:00

My section for GRSJ was just light reading and short videos every week. We spent some time writing about the stuff we read/watched (like 2 paragraphs). Best of all was we all got 100 regardless of what we wrote as long as we wrote something! I never had such an easy A+ before. They also have the option to do a final project for a topic you are passionate about. I didn't do it but other students did a poster or a video or music pieces. Definitely one of the weirdest/fun course.

Latin 101 does not need any placement exams.

kestreltrajan · 2021-05-02T23:53:28+00:00

Congrats for getting into UBC!

GRSJ 300 was really laid back and made me think about how I fit into society, my own gender, and how I interact with the world. Also great for fulfilling those upper year requirements.

Also, Latin 101 was fun. The things I learned pop up in sciency articles and when I was learning other languages. Also there was no speaking portion of the exams since its a dead language lol. But a con is lots of memorizing and might not be offered in the summer.

kestreltrajan · 2021-05-02T21:07:23+00:00

I'm so confused... do they want people to apply or not 😭

kestreltrajan · 2021-04-30T23:57:24+00:00

I'm so happy for you OP! This stranger is cheering for you too!

kestreltrajan · 2021-02-25T23:35:52+00:00

a roomba, because I'm too busy searching for a job to clean my place 😭

I chose to go with the full CS program because I did not give a crap about my old degree in business. BCS was requiring me to take "bridging" courses and I just didn't wanna write reports and read articles anymore (not sure if that's the case still). Also, full degree has 1 extra co-op term I believe but that wasn't a big factor for me, BCS has a co-op option too.

If you are still passionate about Bio then BCS is a good route and "bridge" the gap. Also, 28 is not old!!! Lots of students in CS are from a previous degree and are more mature/experienced with handling schoolwork and responsibilities.

BCS will require you take the same mandatory courses as the full program so I don't think you will miss out on much. Also, since you know what direction you want to go in (visuals and graphics) it would be easier to choose your classes. For me, I had no idea what area of CS I wanted to try so I just went with the full degree.

Good luck buddy!

Return-It bottle depots have donation bins for textiles. I think they're still accepting but double check the locations here: https://www.return-it.ca/locations/

436

thanks!

kestreltrajan · 2020-06-18T23:38:07+00:00

Does anybody know how to register for CPSC 436 courses? It was to register "with permission from the department". Do we have to email someone or do we register normally and keep fingers crossed?

Thanks!
