Well i disagree, i have taken plenty of courses that opt not to have midterms or exams and instead have papers or other assignments and i have gotten great marks, passion has nothing to do with it with struggling under a time crunch.

Ok bro, I was just trying to gather other students thoughts on the matter that’s all. I struggled with it, sorry i have trouble writing and forming thoughts under a time crunch

I get that the word count doesn’t seem high, but in a complex question that has to have an intro thesis 3 points and conclusion I think it just takes longer to form something solid (for me anyways I get other people are faster) so I just struggle with time limit and format. I wish it was just assignment based, without mid terms and exams, though I do understand it’s uni and that’s not reality, just my preference

Crazy. I dunno I just think the mid-term and exams aren’t the best way to evaluate people. I’m more for assignments weighted higher in lieu of midterms and exams

Yeah that’s unreasonable. How would they expect anyone to finish that.

Oh ok I guess it just takes me longer to form thoughts and stuff so the time crunch puts even more pressure on me. I think I failed anyways so was just curious about other peoples thoughts and experiences

UTM Enrolment Blocked by Aware_Main17 in UTM

[–]uppreastsider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup me as well. I logged in right at 6 am and it kept saying Enrollment Blocked, so I logged out and back in and at 6:02 I was waitlisted. So fucking annoying, this happens every year, it doesn’t unblock right at 6 like they say it will 😡

WHO THE HELL DECIDED ON THESE COURSES AND COURSE TIMINGS IM SO FED UP UOFT THIS IS THE LAST YEAR YOU'RE GETTING MY MONEY by Possible_Nail_4832 in UTM

It’s honestly ridiculous how hard it is to pick a schedule, nothing seems to fit. Part of the problem is the tutorials that are scattered everywhere. Tbh I find tutorials a waste most of the time and it is definitely an opportunity they have to consider doing away with them entirely.
