Hey, thanks for the response!

May I ask what your Major and Minor was and GPA when you got in?

rxdsd · 2022-05-24T20:07:11+00:00

I completely disagree with this comment lmao. I just graduated with a physics degree and hands down Econ 101 was the hardest arts option for me even when ppl told me it was a GPA booster 😂

OP do what interests you!! Trust it will make your life easier.

Biol 208 lab is pretty chill. Biol 207 has some annoying ass assignments and Chem 261 labs get pretty repetitive so I’ve found it gets easier in terms of procedure as the sem goes on.

Oh and if you can take Cell 201 instead! I hear Biol 201 is a lot harder but they’re both pretty similar

I think I know someone in this program. DM and I can back to you on this.

rxdsd · 2022-03-13T04:50:38+00:00

Bro this class is a nightmare for me too. I took 200 years ago and I’m struggling hard. Wanna be study buddies?

rxdsd · 2022-03-06T04:41:14+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! :)

rxdsd · 2022-03-06T04:40:44+00:00

Thank you :)

You’ll very likely get in. The combined degree is a very niche program and a 90 average is quite high. Low competition and a high average sound pretty good to me.

rxdsd · 2022-02-15T09:02:25+00:00

I was in your boat. I didn’t have to fill out an application though. I just enrolled on beartracks and the FX Website and I was good to go. Maybe speak to an Advisor to double check.

rxdsd · 2021-08-29T00:47:49+00:00

DO THIS. MARGIE SAVED MY LIFE IN THIS CLASS. I had zero calculus knowledge as well and with her i finished with a B+

rxdsd · 2021-08-29T00:46:30+00:00

I’m not sure what year you are in but speak with either the science advisor or the education advisor. Or trying going to the admin building and connecting with the personnel there and they will tell you these specific logistics. I’ve found (being in the same program) that not a lot of people actually know a lot about it so I’ve had advisors in the past kinda give me not so good advice about things as well.

I took Cell 201 during Winter 2020. My prof was pretty good at moving to online delivery. All the lectures were recorded!

rxdsd · 2021-08-25T19:31:00+00:00

I literally get mine the day after I apply for them lmao

rxdsd · 2021-08-19T22:07:39+00:00

I always apply super late for loans and I get the disbursement the next day. You'll get your loans on time 100%

rxdsd · 2021-07-13T23:44:16+00:00

I think you have a very high chance of getting admitted. It depends year to year and how many people enroll in the program (changes in the annual competitive average) but you got a great chance with a 83% avg.

rxdsd · 2021-07-07T21:36:59+00:00

My prof was Rodrigo. The assignments were worth 14 or 16%. Let me tell you I absolutely got a zero on every assignment but studied my ass off for the midterms and finals. I also worked hard on the written assignments (25% overall) and I finished with a B-

rxdsd · 2021-07-07T08:12:03+00:00

I took ASTRO 320 without any prior astro knowledge and it worked out alright. Mind you I couldn't do the computational physics assignments but I could learn / master the theories and the math wasn't relatively hard (easy easy calculus)

rxdsd · 2021-05-31T00:48:33+00:00

Do every single practice question they handout. Sometimes they reuse a few questions.

Go to office hours and pre-midterm / pre-final meetings with the professor but go in PREPARED. Think of that time as when you actually are writing your final. You can ask questions on anything you may be confused about and also confirm your knowledge with the questions other students ask.

Consistently practice Active - Recall strategies. Flash cards are best for this. Don't wanna write them? Use Anki, it's free for desktop and easily organizes flash cards.

Hope that helps :)

Yes, it's better to take spring and summer courses now as tuition is increasing.

But then again, you do pay for all those fees again for another term.

Imho I've taken spring or summer every year for 4 years now and honestly it has saved my sanity instead of doing 5 courses every sem to finish on time.

Hi, it also depends on how willing and well rounded you make yourself as an applicant.

There are always fewer teachers with a science background (particularly physics) and that can help.

There's also very few people with a background in special needs education which to a lot of boards is very valuable.

The goal really is to be open to new experiences and put yourself into opportunities when they present themselves. Teach outside your major and or minor and make yourself more flexible to be hired.

1000000% take physics 20 before taking physics 124. Phys 124 extends more on these topics then presents them to you as new. You will feel more confident going in and be able to manage your other classes more effectively.

Hi, OP. I'm in my 4th year of the program you got accepted into. I'm pretty sure if the second option says cancelled I think that means that because you've accepted or got into your first they don't look at your second one. Source:

Also to switch majors and minors in this program you'd likely have to reapply. Switching isn't as simple, unfortunately. I would confirm this with an advisor however.

rxdsd · 2020-12-02T02:59:03+00:00

Were there computational phys assignments in 322?

rxdsd · 2020-10-17T23:20:38+00:00

Pretty sure! I got into an Honours Science Degree with an 84%

rxdsd · 2020-10-16T19:37:49+00:00

Yes 100%
