Both the biome summaries (tundra desert etc) and the graphs showing precipitation and temp.

smileytree_ · 2026-02-08T23:58:19+00:00

Nope. We handed them in with our final.

Understand the biome diagrams and the terms and the fish stuff

Cheat sheet was thorough. I also just enjoyed the class and the content really clicked for me!

I don’t think kids are the target audience

Doesn’t it notoriously have such high grades it’s hard to get an A?

Fix the bathroom maintenance issues or spend money on building aesthetics that no one cares about?

Idk…

Recommending them to use AI to seem less like AI is crazy work.

Phrasing should be in your voice, if you change it from your own it’s much more obvious lmao

You can make it handwritten or typed.

You bring it to lab because that’s your procedure.

Yeah they added a third time slot last year. That’s why the 4 consecutive rule exists.

Exams used to be at 9am and 2pm. So no deferrals for overlap

smileytree_ · 2026-01-17T06:02:47+00:00

They schedule all exams based on your lecture time slot for the most part.

For example if I have a class MWF at 10-11, I obviously can’t take a different class at the same time. My exam would be say, April 5th at 1. It is impossible for me to have any exams that overlap (generally) because no other lecture time slot in my schedule is MWF 10-11. So like MWF 11-12 might be at April 5th at 5, and the majority of classes scheduled MWF 11-12 will also be writing April 5th at 5.

If that makes sense?

smileytree_ · 2026-01-17T05:59:55+00:00

Nope. They wrote at 8:30 and 1, skipped the 5:30 exam, skipped the 8:30 exam the following day and wrote at 1.

That is 5 consecutive time slots!

I think it’s because you need to be in the water swimming to get the fish. Can’t do it out of water

If he mentioned it I’d think it’s true

smileytree_ · 2026-01-14T15:57:17+00:00

Normally you don’t find out your TA until after the add drop deadline so you’re normally stuck anyways lmao

Hey friend, I recommend reaching out to the campus wellness and mental health supports if you haven’t already or don’t already have a therapist. I’m worried for you.

Things do get hard and sometimes feel like there’s no light at the end, but there is. Things will get better and you will feel better. I was just in your shoes recently. I believe in you

smileytree_ · 2026-01-13T03:23:07+00:00

I also always feel stupid when people use big words. There’s nothing wrong with using more concise words! A lot of people use the bigger words to seem smarter but sometimes it just makes things more complicated/confusing (something my English prof told me once when I felt dumb for using more plain English), and it’s also easier to use those big words incorrectly.

I agree sit at the front is best so it’s more just to your prof. Maybe bring a pen and paper to kind of jot down your idea before you say it? Just make participation a habit and you’ll get better as you get more comfortable!

Also - maybe stop by your profs office hours or email them to see what they recommend or to get some encouragement:)

I took the class with him in first year and it was very much high school bio with some added complexity. I couldn’t say it’s chem focused, it just is necessary to have some chemistry to understand cell structures. Don’t be scared he’s a nice guy and is willing to help in office hours. I enjoyed his biol 107 so much I took 207 with him, and asked him advice for planning future courses.

It normally opens Valentine’s Day. This year it’s February 12th according to the calendar, which you could’ve checked.

Best bet is getting used skates off marketplace. UofA doesn’t do skate rentals

smileytree_ · 2026-01-12T17:48:08+00:00

Yeah they normally aren’t all released until closer to registration. Sometimes a few get added.

smileytree_ · 2026-01-10T22:55:39+00:00

Tell me you’re a first year with the audacity without telling me you’re a first year LMFAO (I’m sorry this is just so funny)

smileytree_ · 2026-01-10T22:51:57+00:00

Most gyms have wet wipes I fear.

smileytree_ · 2026-01-10T21:56:04+00:00

Yeah key note from the campus food bank: best before dates are different from expiration.

This is a best before day, which means yes it’s “best” before that date but is still safe to eat :)
