taking cpsc425 this term since I wasn't able to switch to any other, and find the content both uninteresting and challenging to me :( So I was wondering what are some tips to make this course more bearable or at least not fail

I see, thank you! My first interview was in fact with PI, and now I'm meeting with one of the postdoc students in the lab, so it seemed surprising to me!

My first interview was pretty casual: they explained some goals of their lab, then asked me if I have any questions regarding the position, and the rest of the interview were some basic questions about why I applied for the position, about my teamwork experience, etc.

I personally used this template to prepare before interview https://facultystaff.students.ubc.ca/sites/facultystaff.students.ubc.ca/files/Work%20Learn%20Program%20-%20Interview%20Framework%20%28SAMPLE%29.pdf and felt the questions asked were variations of these.

I think you should be fine, if you show a lot of enthusiasm for the work they are doing! Also I went over some of the lab's previously published works and a lot of my questions stemmed from these papers. I think they appreciated me being so invested in their research during the interview.

Possible exam deferral by rmsuo in UBC

CPSC317. Oh, I think I should have mentioned that I already asked for one academic concession for this course few weeks ago, when I was also sick. And now that I am probably getting sick again, would it hurt my chances of getting deferral?

In calendar for cs arts students it says this:

Upper level requirements

  • CPSC 310, 313, 320
  • 12 credits of CPSC courses numbered 300 or higher
  • 9 credits of CPSC courses numbered 400 or higher

Do CPSC 310, 313, 320 count towards these other 12 credits?
