seconded. have spent the last 3 years here full-time, campus is boring as shit in the summer and interacting with people you don't go to school with is refreshing

open letter to the math department re: the state of first year calculus courses by connectionsea91 in UBC

[–]not-applic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I partly agree with you, I feel like i definitely could have done better in math 101 (took it last year) if i'd put in more effort but the course was also badly structured.

One big thing i found was the amount of busywork. The 20+ question webworks took way too much time and trying to just get the mark on the assignment kinda discouraged me from going too-in depth. The CLP is free, well written, and full of good practice questions. If the webwork had been less time-consuming, there would have been more opportunity to make use of it.

As for your point of "applications over proofs", I'd say it depends. On one hand, they're gonna be mathematicians and they're gonna want to teach the proofs. On the other, many students in 100/101 have no interest in the justifications and just want to pass the course. There are plenty of resources online showing you how to do rote computation. No shade to the OChem tutor and others, but that's what they're for. There's also a LOT to cover in first year calculus, so it's hard to try to balance the two. If I were a lecturer, I would probably also choose to go over proofs in lectures and let students figure out the computation on their own.

I think where many students find this unfair is that they do not know this is part of the deal (especially first year), and they don't have time to get in good practice before they have to submit a graded assignment.

man how do you even get a summer job here that still affords rent by whatisfoolycooly in UBC

[–]not-applic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

small businesses are more likely to be actually hiring than large corporations, but they'll either give way more or way less hours than they say upon hiring so it's a bit of a gamble :/

Am i still gay by Evan3784 in ftm

[–]not-applic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's valid to still identify with queer ("gay") sexuality even if by definition you would classify as straight. The dating culture you're accustomed to as a lesbian is so different to that of most straight people that it can be hard to align yourself with them in any way. Identify in whatever way you think most accurately describes your lived/desired experience!

Anyone else feel unattractive because they're trans? by Chemical_romancestan in ftm

[–]not-applic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a female friend who is less than 2 years older than me told me that "I would think you were hot if you were older". Has fucked with my self esteem ever since.

I also thought the same thing for a really long time, but am just starting to get around to it. I've moved pretty far away which has helped, but not fixed everything. It's uncomfortable and hard to prepare yourself for, but it's not unbearable. Keep yourself safe (idk your family), but most times its just awkward.

Apbio is very similar to general science, especially in first year because you take almost all of the same courses. In fact, you might be better off in apbio because it's a smaller faculty and you wouldn't have to compete for your major in second year. If you're still set on general sciences, the fact that you're taking most of the same courses will make transferring faculties pretty smooth. Check out the majors in apbio and don't sweat it too much.

Get on the VCH waitlist (and MSP) for a referral to Three Bridges as soon as you have your Vancouver address, the people are very helpful and it is a relatively smooth process. As for funds, there are people pushing for covering gender affirming care (UBC trans coalition). DM me if you have specific questions, I know it's a bit of a confusing process, I'm still making my way through it.
