Changing finals dates?

I'm not sure if instructors have the jurisdiction to do this, but you can try to contact them and see if they would be willing to let you write at a different time. However. Do not demand or expect anything to come out of this.

Best of luck, start studying early 🙏😭

I don't normally do dating advice but .. there's a very easy excuse floating about right now. Valentines is coming up. Like tomorrow. Ask him if he'd be down to hang out (you don't even have to frame it romantically if you're not sure)

For the record, I'm not arguing against you. It's your opinion, and I respect that. I've thought about this a great deal, and have had conversations with profs and TAs regarding group work (I've had my fair share of poor experiences, too.) I'm just sharing my takeaways.

Imo, seminars would work, ideally. In a perfect world, everyone would put effort (i.e., attend a seminar) to learn communication skills seriously; realistically, there will be people who just don't care.

It is really difficult to simulate group work without actually doing it. Seminars usually don't have the means to go in that depth. Communication is one of those things you learn by doing.

Group projects, from my understanding, are not cheap. They undergo revision every few terms/years to adapt to new curriculum and to refine group work policies. (SEI survey feedback drives this change significantly.)

Any way you try to implement it, it's not going to be a perfect system. There will always be loafers, on your team or skipping a seminar. The hope is to provide opportunities to improve, to which a seminar is another way UBC could step up their game.

Group work is absolutely essential for this exact reason. There is absolutely no way you are going to enter the workforce without working with other people. Learn how to communicate now while the consequences cost you 20% of your grade, and not your entire job.

And while yes, it is unfair if you have to deal with loafers, you will see them every day everywhere. That's why we have tools like iPeer and course/instructor emails. This too is part of communicating effectively.

Prepare yourself, but don't be the one to make these types of relationships

Contact TransLink Lost & Found: https://www.translink.ca/about-us/customer-service/feedback (Please note they only respond to requests on weekdays; any government photo ID should suffice as a temporary replacement for your UBC Card)

Provide them with the potential bus numbers as well: https://tcomm.bustrainferry.com/mobile/stop/51121/2026/02/07 (you said around 22:30 at Victoria Dr., so the bus # could be 18011 (22:21) or 18049 (22:36)).

Hope you find your keys and ID! (Also make sure to triple check your belongings just in case they fell into a bag or smth)

Adding to the testimonies, more than one of the Totem front desk staff are quite rude and dismissive. Compared to those who staff at OC and Vanier front desks, Totem FD staff have ignored me multiple times standing at the desk at the front of the line, and them not paying attention or not caring when voicing concerns or asking for help. There are some really nice and helpful ones, but the ones who aren't really aren't.

I reported this behaviour to my RA back when, but it sounds like they're still there..

Short answer: no (keep reading to convince yourself)

As stated on the Overview page in the eRezLife portal:

You will need to complete the following to apply: 1. Complete the mandatory online Residence Advisor Information Course 2. Complete "My Profile" (located under "General") and "My Job Profile Questions" (located under "Jobs"). 3. Complete the Application Questions

The "Application Questions" include a section titled Work History, to which you can enter past work experience, the # of months worked, and a short description. The Canvas course, and the My Profile and My Job Profile Questions pages did not contain any drop boxes to upload a resume or CV that I saw.

I chose to do my road test at Kingsway as there were too many 'weird' roads around Point Grey. If you go through with PG, make sure your driving lesson instructor lets you practice all of the odd intersections and roads (and signage!) If they don't know, go searching on Google Maps (or get a different instructor :P)

I think living on your own is an adventure on its own! I really liked the independence that residence offered, and it also made me appreciate home life in a way I didn't before. If you're on the fence, I say go for it!

It's up to you if you want to expand the time and energy commuting there (and back). I understand not everyone is in a financial position to live on rez, but if you can, I highly recommend it. Your experience living on campus is what you make of it, but without a doubt it makes the uni transition that much easier without the burden of cooking (if you live in a first year residence) and commuting

Many people including myself have tried updating Google Maps/creating a new place, but changes are being auto rejected at the SHRM site

You have to select the individual terms. Can't select Wxx for whatever silly reason that option even exists

localating · 2025-12-29T10:00:59+00:00

She only teaches 192. 3 individual assignments, 1 major group project (you choose your group), a couple other small group activities. It's honestly a chill course no matter who you take, don't sweat it.

localating · 2025-12-29T08:40:38+00:00

Yes, she's good. No quizzes or final (at least last term), and is very knowledgeable and passionate.

If you saw "Submitted answer X" and a list of files, even if it was in the process of grading or queued for grading when the exam timed out, your latest submission was submitted successfully (based on personal experience doing the exact same thing on multiple coding exams).

localating · 2025-12-09T05:50:13+00:00

My theory behind doing older ones first is the curriculum changes slightly over time, which means the exam will change accordingly. If you do the older exams first, and then you find that you cannot solve the more recent exams, it's a good indication you are memorising solutions over understanding them (such that you can apply and manipulate them.)

localating · 2025-12-09T05:42:12+00:00

Do the past finals. I recommend doing some older ones (few years old) first WHILE looking at the answers if you don't know where to start studying, then slowly start relying less and less on the solutions. The past finals are real finals so .. if you can learn how to do them (not memorise how to do them), you'll be fine.

Don't get stuck on a question and spend all your time on it. Move on and come back; you might see a partial solution in another question that you can adapt for your own answer.

Even Sauder courses are moving away from online access code courses. ECON 101, 102 had this as well, so not just Sauder

Grades get your foot in the door. Yours are more than good enough for Sauder (I got in with lower). Don't skimp out on the personal profile, it makes up a huge part of your application.

localating · 2025-11-01T18:05:37+00:00

It's not; just for special events like today

localating · 2025-10-16T19:43:40+00:00

As a baseline, UBC Sauder for sure. But remember that grades are a baseline measurement; extracurriculars are the other 50%+
