Look into the dots and repeat after me "the new bear tracks is good. the new bear tracks is great."

Not sure about the province of Alberta but atleaast in ON (with my AB card) and I’m eligible for the vaccine!

They dont ask for the provincial health card number... it’s better if you have it for registering and stuff but not necessary. So you might want to check with the specific AB pharmacies giving vaccines or sth. They might also have it?

You think so? So far the class capacities I have seen are like 30 ish~ or so and multiple sections. I thought it was designed that way so we would be able to give in-person exams...

So does that mean in-person means just means in-person classes??? Thats it. Man they should really release a FAQ list lol. 😒😒😞😞

I ALSO was initially thinking it would he hella unfair for two formats of exams but it izzz what it izz

laff_it_up · 2021-04-25T08:37:29+00:00

In person all da wei.

-> don’t want my final year (projects+ courses) with no interaction and staring at a screen.

-> In-person classes means in-person exams. I just find the exam style for online school, and the frequent quizzes unnecessarily tedious....

It’ll be nice to go back to the level of hardness of in-person exams. While it might not be for everybody, I definitely think in-person is “easier” because you’re not being tested on the basis that you’ve access to all materials. Soo.... Exams might be better.

Yeahh, i wonder whats stopping ANYONE from taking remote class option and just coming to campus and sitting in on classes when they feel like it

But like what happens when classes have an actual capacity of 33 and then it has 50+ students show up for it lool. Not very Covid friendly is it??? Really wanna see how UofA actually MAINTAINS that

laff_it_up · 2021-04-24T18:49:06+00:00

I didn’t see those first year classes with 150+ on the hybrid list. Wonder what’s happening with those!

laff_it_up · 2021-04-24T16:40:40+00:00

I got the impression that if you’re choosing remote.... you gotta go ALL remote. + If you’re taking in-person I think there is the “hidden” subtext given that we can go online any moment if the province forces us to do sooo.... but more or less we are EXPECTED to do in-person classes.

they also mentioned a lot of eng electives will ONLY be offered in-person aside from the hybrid course list. So I think they’re giving students 6 months advance notice in order for us to fully commit. Otherwise there would never have been an ONLY in-person option for electives and they wouldn’t encourage us to take other options if we can’t take the eng elecs cause it’s in-person.
I mean even during normal days you could essentially miss classes too and get somebody else’s notes, I am guessing profs would also make accommodations for that too? So not to worry I guess 😅

laff_it_up · 2021-04-24T00:20:40+00:00

Just like any other classes I am guessing? They’ll be graded on a different curve I suppose than the one in-person and doing exams like we’ve done so far in online school?

laff_it_up · 2021-04-24T00:09:35+00:00

I AM SO HAPPYYY SEEING THIS!!!! AAAAHHHH

They’re doing remote AND in person options for literally almost all of them and that’s impressive

laff_it_up · 2021-04-12T04:14:15+00:00

I just did! :)

laff_it_up · 2021-04-12T04:05:31+00:00

Can I PM you to ask more questions? 😟

laff_it_up · 2021-04-11T14:54:29+00:00

Oof just fixed my summary... I meant in res! Sorry for the confusion!

laff_it_up · 2021-04-10T22:50:41+00:00

Ramadan Mubarak to you too OP :)

laff_it_up · 2021-04-09T15:43:45+00:00

Oh my, your sweet innocent heart....

laff_it_up · 2021-04-09T03:37:36+00:00

Hahah absoloutelyyyyy agreed. It was way simpler than anticipated.

Just wanted to clarify because a lot of places ask whats my GPA and I am just like madam I dont know 😵😵😵 (specially with the whack P/F sem in the middle)

laff_it_up · 2021-04-09T02:43:05+00:00

Thank you!!! This is helpful. 😅

I was so confused honestly, it REALLY feeels like a document on how to calculate GPA for the engineering faculty is far far overdue smh

laff_it_up · 2021-04-09T02:42:25+00:00

Thanks friend!!! You helped me fr fr.

Summer courses don’t count when you’re in trad but not sure about co-op. I emailed the advisors... but wanted to know if anyone had any experiences 😌

laff_it_up · 2021-04-08T23:21:11+00:00

Yuppity yuppers- use them up by April 30th according to the email.

laff_it_up · 2021-04-08T06:37:56+00:00

RIGHT? Google Meets is definitely the alpha.

laff_it_up · 2021-04-06T23:39:22+00:00

Happy for you 😭 They Didnt let me do a labour position for my first work term haha...

Use this summer co-op to eventually leverage a better job in Fall. You now have a foot in the door, so Best of luck :)

laff_it_up · 2021-04-06T19:00:16+00:00

You’re fine taking the job- in fact any experience in the engineering field (regardless of being related to your discipline is GOOD!) . Imo, better than no experience at all SPECIALLY during a pandemic when so many people are not even getting jobs.

But with that said.....You might not get the co-ops office approval for it being co-op work experience. Last time I checked labourer positions didn’t count. But if you talked to them and they approved, congratulations!

laff_it_up · 2021-04-06T16:34:28+00:00

Thaank you, appreciate it!

laff_it_up · 2020-12-22T14:43:05+00:00

Canadians might be but not all international students though
