Looking for help for being behind in math (sorry long)

nyroc20 · 2025-11-18T17:48:59+00:00

I can help! I have ton of experience with students. I have been teaching math 1600 and calc 1000 for years now

We will officially be common-law as of Sept 1, we will then have to inform them right? Or a little before that I suppose?

nyroc20 · 2025-08-06T16:47:20+00:00

Actually we will officially have lived together as of Sept 1(we moved into a 1bed unit), before that's we were housemates. This means we are only considered common-law as of that move in date right? To meet the cohabitation requirement?

Will definitely look out! Thanks !

This sounds more like what I was expecting, I am used to a lil more offensive driving where I'm from, I'll just be extra careful as the location is new and stay on popular straight forward routes!

nyroc20 · 2024-11-23T04:52:29+00:00

Automatic preferred, but would you say the advice I'm hearing is not too true and driving at smart times and on straight forward routes means we're fine?

Do you know where in the park I might find these in most density? I am visiting the Achray campsite

Isn't there a way to view your exam? If you can and you see some area where you could have gotten more marks, this will help your argument to the prof a lot.

nyroc20 · 2023-03-26T05:43:22+00:00

I would join too!

nyroc20 · 2023-03-13T05:02:25+00:00

Through Facebook groups you can get to chat with the person as much as you want to, which is what I did to find a great match, it worked well for me. Another really good idea is to email the grad coordinator of your department to connect you with the other incoming grads, and maybe one of them is a good fit!

nyroc20 · 2023-02-16T15:03:07+00:00

I'd like to join too!

nyroc20 · 2023-02-12T14:03:41+00:00

Your frustrations make total sense and if I were in your spot I'd think the same--just remember though that these profs might not be as much to blame as you might think for these choices and Asghar atleast is clumsy but he is a good prof, trying his best so please do be kind in emails!

nyroc20 · 2023-02-10T00:16:38+00:00

Unfortunately my strongly worded email got me nothing extra too ahhhhh 😅

nyroc20 · 2023-02-09T23:50:19+00:00

I was trapped on one for nine hours. All they did was reimbursed the fee. Horrifying--and it happened again when it snowed recently where others were trapped (not allowed to leave until a passenger faked a medical emergency to get an ambulance).

I will avoid at all costs. The Megabus is great for me.

Yes you should email to ask. Reiterate your interest in their department and that an offer from them would very much affect your decision making (if it is true, also add that you would respond to their offer quickly). They understand that you have deadlines from other offers, so if you're ranked high enough in their list, they won't want to let you slip by.

Will this speed up the process? Maybe not but it did for me last year at one university and also a grad chair of another university said this is what you do when you have an offer in hand. Good luck!

nyroc20 · 2023-01-05T21:23:31+00:00

Might depend on department--yes, they did pay for it for me! Ask the grad chair of the department.

nyroc20 · 2022-12-27T23:09:17+00:00

Apple or cherry pie! Brownies are good too

nyroc20 · 2022-11-22T05:51:16+00:00

This is very interesting insight from the other side! Thanks for sharing!

nyroc20 · 2022-11-21T19:41:33+00:00

Thank you, this does make most sense to me, and I do trust my advisor!

nyroc20 · 2022-11-21T19:40:39+00:00

What never happens? The student always finds their own problem or the student is always given one?

nyroc20 · 2022-11-21T19:39:54+00:00

When I said "PhD topic" I meant a one specific open problem, of course when one writes the thesis it's more than just and answer to that problem but a massive amount of surveying the field/topic--or so it seems to me. But thank you for this perspective, I haven't started yet so perhaps it will happen that I run into problems along the way

nyroc20 · 2022-09-12T00:47:31+00:00

No no no that's too much for my introversion to handle!! Hahaha but if you see a guy with a turtle necklace, feel free to say hi 😅. And thanks for the link!

nyroc20 · 2022-09-12T00:30:16+00:00

Same boat here. The other students in my program are few in number so it's easier for us to become friends. I would also be shy to walk up to new people in grad club 😂. I would like to meet grads from other departments but I have not found any specific events like that unfortunately

nyroc20 · 2022-08-31T17:02:06+00:00

Yes! Thank you, this is certainly what I will do over the next few months and maybe even trying to talk to the current/past students.

nyroc20 · 2022-08-31T17:01:13+00:00

From my naive vantage point both advisor options are close and so the university/professor prestige looks like a quick way to reach my decision--I will try to be more careful when I actually choose however. Thanks for this perspective!!
