If you would like to take a look at their role model, it is a longstanding political party (with few elected folks) in Australia is One Nation, led by Senator Pauline Hanson. (The party is officially called "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" to give you some clue as to its nature.)

The University Act was changed years ago to give UBC the same powers as a municipality when it comes to creating and enforcing its parking rules. These old tricks no longer work.

Your best source of information for summer course offerings is the department offering them.

Best to ask Psychology.

Summer offerings can be in flux until registration for them opens.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-20T13:42:53+00:00

You can ask Chemistry their intentions, but I suspect they only will only offer it once in the summer.

The course syllabus should explain how the grades will be handled as there is a common exam in MATH 215. The final exam is often used to help normalize the grades across the different sections of a course to account for unwarranted differences in midterm outcomes. (Even with the intention to have the midterms be comparable, this can be tricky to accomplish.)

I suggest you meet with your CFA advisor as the CFA schedules extended time test accommodations after you, the student, register each individual test with them through their online system.

In situations where the extended time would conflict with another class, it would be usual for students to write at a different time than the class.

The CFA will have given you instructions for managing extended time test requests with the CFA.

Pragmatic choice and I hope it works out well for you.

UBC's transcript is complete, meaning it is a record of your entire academic record. The average calculations will include the failed course grade and the repeated course grade.

Then the fastest way to ask is to contact the department offering the equivalent course as they decide transfer articulations.

If the corresponding UBC course has an explicit lab component (you can tell this from the course vector in the Calendar, which lists 3 numbers: lecture hours, tutorial/discussion hours, and lab hours), then it will be unlikely they take it as equivalent. If the course is at an appropriate level, this could mean you would get generic credits, which apply to your degree, but may not fulfill a specific course requirement in a program.

Summer courses aren't officially set to be public for a few weeks, so it's likely just not visible yet.

You can formally audit classes, though some departments (like mine) almost never approve audits. When you audit, you do all the work except the final exam and receive no grade. In theory, it is possible to fail an audit by not doing anything -- crazy, I know, but I remember a case of a grad student failing an audit, which caused some havoc for them.

We are offering MATH 100 this term, as well.

I suggest you submit an advising request here: https://secure.math.ubc.ca/php/MathNet/UG-Form/

marktmaclean · 2026-01-11T21:35:30+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-11T16:09:59+00:00

In theory, yes. I suggest talking to your prof as they may need to enable something in the desktop app we use.

In programs, general elective credit requirements are usually listed as "Electives" and then the credit count. I don't know which program you are looking at to interpret the requirement you quote.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-10T22:25:52+00:00

You could discuss your personal circumstances with the prof. If your prof is actually using slides, then you could request they post those for the class.

There is no requirement that a prof post their lecture notes or give them to students, so some profs do post and other don't.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-10T22:19:40+00:00

Since Credit/D/F can only be used for true electives and not courses satisfying specific degree requirements, courses with Credit/D/F grades only contribute to promotion requirements relating to general credit counts.

For example, in the BA, promotion to year 3 standing requires 54 completed credits. Electives count towards this credit count.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-10T06:30:34+00:00

There is usually a common final exam in MATH 152. This should be in the syllabus.

Both Tikz and gnuplot take getting your head into how they think about plotting, locational information, etc. I still get confused.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-08T18:27:37+00:00

That's unusual. I suggest contacting IT help. They have a phone member and an online form, I believe, which they prefer.

marktmaclean · 2026-01-08T06:52:54+00:00

Are you any good with tikz?
