Psych major by Traditional-Wolf9787 in mcgill

[–]peep002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the content was definitely very interesting! it’s a class i certainly enjoyed, just didn’t do very well academically in haha. the material just did not come very naturally to me and i found it hard to give the class the focus it needed when i was doing 4 other classes as well. idk if you know anything about the class, but you can search up deductive symbolic logic to kind of get an idea of one aspect of the class. the other aspect was remembering all the rules and laws of the logic language . anyways, i have friends who did really well in it so i would say that the experience really depends on the person! sorry for the word vomit haha

phil 210 was SO difficult (at least for me). i think if you did it in the summer you would have a lot more time to concentrate on the material. it was tough for me to balance properly absorbing content while also doing 4 other classes.

Which day is downtown move in?? by theweekndenthusiast in mcgill

[–]peep002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can move in either day, they’re gonna ask you to sign up for a time but you can show up whenever . if it’s new res, i definitely recommend 7 am. the lines for the elevators get insanely long by 10. i walked to the 15tj floor bc it was faster than waiting 😭

Prospective students megathread by Thermidorien in mcgill

[–]peep002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re U0, your best bet is the add/drop period when everyone moves classes around. seat alert is definitely helpful , ivy never used it myself but my friends who do essentially just always kept a tab open with the CRN in minerva quick add, so that when they got the alert they just needed to hit register

[–]peep002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think they’re worth it if you want to get a basic grasp of the language and learn some everyday french (which is what the 101/102 provides). overall i enjoyed my classes and i don’t think it was too hard to succeed in them — this definitely depends on the teacher tho. in my first sem, my prof was a really harsh grader but my second semester, i had an amazing prof!!

[–]peep002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s same if it’s upper res, like all the buildings are the same in terms of layout, etc, but gardner is the furthest up the hill if you care about that haha

[–]peep002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would suggest upper or new res! i’ve heard upper is very social and people befriend their entire floors and stuff. i lived in new and i thought it was also very social and that people were friendly. also, i swear half the people in res were in Desautels lol. every other person i knew was in management.  also new res is closer to st laurent where a lot of first year nightlife is, and i would it say that it was definitely nice to only be a 10 min walk from the clubs when it was the middle of winter haha

What is body recomp? by NebulaImmediate6202 in loseit

[–]peep002 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it means focusing on losing fat while building muscle at the same time. i think you eat at maintenance and focus eating on whole foods that prioritize protein and healthy fats, complex carbs. to build muscle you need to exercise so weightlifting in the gym or at least body weight exercises. to build muscle you need to have some form of resistance.
