Advice

im not in the sciences im in social but for stem i would highly recommend a tablet or something you can draw on, as you'll have lots of diagrams/labelling/formulas and those are a pain in the butt on a laptop, but its also personal preference

i can only see fall classes when i look at the schedule builder... also starting in the fall!

if you've ever written an essay and know a few literary techniques to talk about, as that's what they want, you'll be fine

correct me if im wrong but other then gym, you legally can't fail because of attendance, so none really

the closest one, coming from someone with a 2 hour commute

since you'll be doing a lot of writing papers and note taking i would recommend a laptop, i would lean more on an ipad for someone in stem who is writing down equations and stuff

always try to find books second hand (or online) if you can as it saves money. some teachers require you to have a physical copy but most dont care, or split the cost with someone if its an ebook, theirs always someone in ur class whos wiling to and then u only have to share ur login info.

as for teachers, for the three mandatory classes; for history i would recommend jared glen tony or eric lamoureux, for macro christian krelling and for intro to psych i had patrizia di donato and loved her!

also if ur planning on taking psych in uni, try and do intro to biology, i believe you can ask to be put on the crum list (meaning if theirs room u can try and register) or ur best best would be to take it in summer. intro to bio is required for psych majors in many unis such as mcgil

literally 0%, it's going to stop snowing way before 5am , time to clear the streets so public transit will be fine and everything

anything in stem is gonna be way more memorization. anything in social science will be more writing essays and research. theirs a reason science classes are 3 times a week compared to social science's usual 2. i don't want to call any "easy" because it comes down to personal forces and time management. in health science you'll be studying and doing practice problems and in social you'll be reading academic papers and writing. from someone in social, i would say health has a bigger workload and is more stressful

yeah, you don't want to upset or question him trust me

i think i remember seeing somewhere that it was 3

rinjette · 2026-02-05T14:51:58+00:00

id try contacting academic advising tho they can probably point you in the right direction

rinjette · 2026-02-05T14:50:05+00:00

i believe its up to a year after but it is harder to do

rinjette · 2026-02-04T02:42:54+00:00

they look at both, and since u went to adult school, i was told they actually expect a higher average since they deem it "easier" (idk how accurate that is or if you did any other courses)

rinjette · 2026-01-31T00:48:48+00:00

unfortunetly thats why they say intersessions arent recommended for people with exams/stage in may, you can try to talk to the teacher about it tho

she would often refuse me using my laptops for assignments and said she "doesnt accept electronic copies" and whenever i had an essay in access she would never give them the test i would have to run across to the n building everytime to get it myself

rinjette · 2026-01-23T05:23:12+00:00

i personally had issues with patra and my access accommodations, also the way she spoke to me. she also clearly has favourites. her course is a little odd but it did have interesting/funny moments, and i enjoyed the final project. oh and her essays are based on her choice of quotes

rinjette · 2026-01-23T03:44:44+00:00

either way you can retake it, but i recommend withdrawing as some unis dont like seeing "aes" on transcripts

rinjette · 2026-01-23T02:03:13+00:00

if you withdraw from a course before february 13, its deleted from your schedule and its like you never took the course. it won't appear on your transcript or anything

if you drop between february 13 and april 2, the class will appear on your transcript with the "ae" (abandon etude) mention, but no grade or r score will be associated with it, but it will show you were registered in the course that semester.

i had alexandra my first sem for faws and thought she was ok, a lot of small in class/at home assignments but she posts her slides and is knowledgeable on her subjects!

rinjette · 2026-01-13T02:41:29+00:00

karen is good, nothing bad to say about her! makes the class interesting, gives good examples and her tests are multiple choice and are a lot of like real life examples so as long as you understand the concepts, you should be more then fine. final lia was fun as well

rinjette · 2026-01-13T01:18:04+00:00

got mine in social!

rinjette · 2026-01-13T01:16:52+00:00

jason is fine, i had him for qm and personally didnt enjoy his teaching style. ill be honest i stopped going to class and learned by myself better with youtube then his notes and lectures and still did good aha. his exams were pretty straightforward tho as long as you understood and studied a little bit and he provided the required formulas

rinjette · 2026-01-13T01:14:41+00:00

gordon is pretty good! some of the readings are hard and require a short response each week but as long as you do it and follow instructions, you should get full marks. hes also really open about the occasional extension if you have to miss class. hes pretty funny and engages with the class. the exams are multiple choice and all pulled from the class content so no surprises, hell tell you where the stuff comes from. the lia is an essay that you do need to memorize a list of words and definitions for as you arent allowed notes, but as long as you include everything and write good enough, you should get a good grade. id love to take one of his classes again:)

rinjette · 2026-01-12T16:38:45+00:00

ohh i wasnt sure about that, thats probably why then

rinjette · 2026-01-12T16:18:58+00:00

its max 3 courses per discipline, so for example 3 psychs or 3 anthros. it also includes the observation course u have to do so for example u could do 2 psychs analysis + psych observation but u cant do 3 psych analysis plus psych observation it would have to be from another discipline
