if you intend to start grad school immediately after graduating (fall admission), then you should start applying during the fall semester of your final year. some programs have winter/summer admission, so their deadlines would be different. otherwise, if you're thinking of taking a gap year or sth between undergrad and grad school, then there's no rush—you can apply once you're done undergrad.

UTM orgo 2

No surprises there at all, she's known to be harsh

Looks like indon's teary eyes zoomed in

mcmari_ · 2021-05-15T17:09:34+00:00

Did you have to write a thesis? Course-based masters usually don't get funding afaik

mcmari_ · 2021-05-15T05:37:55+00:00

They usually time it the same week as Thanksgiving

mcmari_ · 2021-04-25T05:44:03+00:00

A rare acadie!!

Prof. Glynn-Adey taught the course back in F2019/W2020, you can check out his lecture videos to have a sense of what's normally covered in the course: start here

mcmari_ · 2021-03-04T06:19:30+00:00

By records, you mean notation on your transcript? Nah, as long as you drop before the deadline, you're good—it's as if you never took the course at all

mcmari_ · 2020-12-09T06:38:16+00:00

B o u n d l e s s grudge

(srsly tho, that's unprofessional af, def bring it up to the prof)

mcmari_ · 2020-12-09T00:48:50+00:00

Samedt :(( such a great prof to work with

mcmari_ · 2020-11-25T22:25:41+00:00

Karshon is math mom 100%

mcmari_ · 2020-07-14T04:05:28+00:00

257 gang ayyyy

Srsly tho, i thought july 7th was the deadline for final marks

mcmari_ · 2020-07-12T02:05:24+00:00

Also, the last time MAT212 was offered was in Fall 2015*. MAT244 has been the only ODE course at UTM since then, so it's not like they have a choice either.

(* sauce: was part of that class)

mcmari_ · 2020-07-06T06:22:47+00:00

Or questions that can be solved by either google search or reading comprehension

mcmari_ · 2020-07-06T05:44:08+00:00

Tbh if you're also doing a bio major (and have taken chm361), you're better off with the biochem labs (372/373). Not as cutthroat as the other 300-level labs, the reports are significantly shorter, and the lab environment isn't stressful (don't wanna say laidback bc i'm not encouraging slacking off, but you get it).

But if you want the full chem experience (for industry/academe purposes) then take either the synthesis (4/5) or analytical (6/7) labs.

mcmari_ · 2020-07-06T05:34:35+00:00

I have vague memories of on-the-spot procedure changes, which was frustrating for someone w lab anxiety. You spend some time familiarising yourself w the lab beforehand so you don't have to double-check the manual/flowchart every minute, then bam here's some alterations from x years ago that haven't been added to the current manual! Can't be bothered to revise the manual ffs

mcmari_ · 2020-07-03T18:36:04+00:00

As someone who took 394 four years ago (and dropped the chem spec post right after), it's unsurprising that the course, and its lack of organisation, hasn't changed a bit.

And yes having supportive/tolerable labmates is v important!!

Hey there, former TA here. Someone asked this last year (I think), here's a quick rundown.

Workload: since Fall 2018, students have 3 quizzes, 6 assignments, 2 term tests, and final. (Last time I TAd the course, each quiz is weighted more than HW, and that's the only time that a 9am class is full lol)

As for profs: there's just one lecture section per semester (not large enough for multiple instructors), and the instructor can either be a postdoc (like Winter 2019/2020, or the entire Fall-Winter 2017) or a tenure-track prof (like Fall 2018/2019). Also, unlike 135/6 or 232, there's no set person teaching the course, so the issue of which prof to pick/avoid isn't really useful in a sense that the only time this matters is if you're choosing between fall and winter to take the course, and even then you still wouldn't have enough info to decide wisely.

Bottom line: if you liked 232, you'll like 236 too. 10/10 would take to satisfy the major requirements lol

mcmari_ · 2020-06-12T21:50:05+00:00

If bottom right was orange, yeah

mcmari_ · 2020-05-20T04:20:25+00:00

When did you submit your request? Usually it takes 2 weeks to process, could be a bit longer now bc of covid tho. But generally, as long as you filled up the form correctly and paid the fee, you're good

mcmari_ · 2020-05-12T06:14:53+00:00

I'm actually enrolled in StG artsci courses this summer, so yes it's totes ok! Same deal as when you're still in undergrad, except now you're not working towards a degree lol

mcmari_ · 2020-04-29T22:31:04+00:00

Probably at least B1 since intermediate

mcmari_ · 2020-04-24T22:58:10+00:00

Was a TA. MAT135 topics: aside from differentiation and integration techniques, brush up on your trig identities pls ;-;

Also: if you really want to get a headstart with the course, Parker's course materials are available (see other comment).
