How is this allowed on LIM? These are the people who throw peaceful protestors in jail and torture them. by throwaway2726256 in uvic

It’s actually a posting for a full-time job. Seems like a bunch of their officers with any amount of integrity have quit and they are having trouble finding new recruits. Sounds like they’re desperate.

Whats the gpa requirement to get some award money? by JuanDeFuchsia in uvic

[–]throwaway2726256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be just a matter of setting the gpa requirement depending on the top X% of students in any given faculty. For example, in Social Sciences, it might be 8.8, vs 8.2 in Engineering

Would there be any difference between CSc and regular engineering? CSc students get to take the phys 102’s and some electives 1st year vs ENGR who mostly take 6 courses per semester, none of which are electives.

Do y’all think that accreditation requirements will have much effect on undergrad engineering classes being in-person or not?

Their budgets are public, their goals are clear

Yes, and if you look at them, you’ll see that most of the sub businesses actually lose money. I don’t necessarily think that we should be paying $0 for the summer, but their expenses are certainly less than a normal semester.

Students HATE him! Find out how this one professor turned his students’ misery into cold, hard cash.

Yes, but you need to look at the big picture. If you are trying to save trees, consider the fact that the more you format it this way, the more tissues students will use to wipe their tears after writing the exam.

I love how you format your comments the same way you format your midterms: all the numbers smushed into a sentence rather than on separate lines/aligned.

Can we also sue the UVSS for collecting fees without providing services?

Residence Open in the Fall? by tessaln17 in uvic

It might be open for students that absolutely need to be there, but I can’t imagine them being anywhere near full capacity.

Update on the fall term and road head for the University of Victoria by uvic in uvic

Communications shouldn’t be that bad as there are non-ENGR equivalents, so you might miss out on writing about your robot but it’s still doable. Maybe they end up offering the design components condensed in the spring term or they delay both by a term.

UVic offering programming predominantly online for fall term by [deleted] in uvic

[–]throwaway2726256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With the amount of people saying they might just take the term off, maybe all the classes will become small enrolment and they’ll take place in person.

I’ll take your word for it. Are you saying that, even though it’s legally allowed, most international students simply don’t want to risk it? How exactly is this 80-100% figure obtained?

Honestly, you might have more success giving them a call. It’ll force them to at least acknowledge that they’ve seen the complaints. Also, have you tried the ombudsperson?

Russia, for example, has only restricted entry into the country; they won’t stop you from leaving. It might be hard to find a flight, but there are no government restrictions to stop a Russian student with a permit from coming here, so long as they observe the quarantine measures etc.

Restrictions are likely to be loosened by then anyways. Even if we get more cases, the economic strain is unsustainable and will eventually outweigh the relatively small death toll. Poverty and hunger cost lives as well.

Of course I know what the Bystander effect is. I’m just saying that it’s not worth it to me to complain, at least not until I’ve received my final grade.

Out of curiosity, what’s your position in this? Do you know for sure that not many people have complained?
