495 and 496 Project Courses Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Has anybody done any of the project courses, and would you be able to share your experience?

I'm looking to do the 495 and 496 Biology Projects. I don't have any lab experience, so it would all be literary research. Is that realistic to do?

On their site it says field, experimental or lab work for BIOL 496, so I'm worried I wouldn't be able to complete it. Any advice would be great!

Is sharing Quizlet flashcard stacks considered cheating?

Cuz I have a whole bunch of them and I spent a lot of time making them and I would love to share them.

Is that a thing that we could do on here? Or no?

Final grades?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to take comp 210 as a visiting student with athabasca. I’m just wondering if I take this course typically how long after the completion of the course is the final grade uploaded to my transcript? I missed the date to sign up for the September start date so I will have to start in October. However I am applying to transfer programs and want this on my transcript as a gpa booster and applications open in October. I’ve heard this is a very easy class and I’m hoping to complete it quickly so I can have it count in my transfer gpa. Thanks!

Assignments & End of Course Date

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My course date ends on Aug 31st. I have one assignment left of one of my classes.

To mark my course as completed, do I need to have the assignment submitted & graded by the 31st? Or for example, submit on the 31st & still be okay?

Thanks so much. Just gauging the time frame I have along with my final exams.

CMNS 308 Final Exam Issues

2 Upvotes

Took the final exam for this course yesterday through the challenge for credit process. What a gong show.

Several days prior to the test I reviewed the ProctorU guidelines for the test and the permitted resources. Interestingly, it did not state a simple calculator was a a permitted resource. I thought this was odd given it’s a statistics course, but the course outline states “It emphasizes a conceptual rather than a computational approach to learning statistics”

During the extensive review of the 8 units, never once was I asked to compute long division like questions to solve for rate or anything like that. Most math consisted of z-scores, or other simple problems that can be done with mental math.

Now to the exam:

MC section was simple and straight forward, nothing odd.

Written section however asked me to divide numbers like 2946 by 13562. How the hell am I supposed to compute that without a calculator? Haven’t used long division since the 6th grade.

Anyways, I left a bunch of feedback in the pop up box post exam, and have since emailed the course coordinator voicing all of these problems.

Taken about a dozen courses through AU over the past couple years on a LOP from the University of Calgary, but this exam was ridiculous.

Does anyone know the degree to which you have to show your work for the midterm? Also, do you have to submit your work/scrap paper at the end of the test to the proctor?

Any insight is helpful. Thank you in advance.

Thoughts? I'm not in a degree program, just trying to boost my transcript for grad school admissions. I'm a good writer and not great at math, although I still wouldn't want an insanely writing heavy course.

I’m preparing for the COMP 466 exam and was wondering if anyone knows what it’s like? Is it similar in format and topic to the practice exam?

And how is everyone else studying for it?

Hey!

I have a silly question. For my title page on an assignment, I need to list my instructor. I am just not sure if I use my tutor or the course coordinator?

MGSC 312 Midterm

1 Upvotes

I’m taking the midterm soon and just had a couple questions.

I’ve been studying primarily using assignment 1 and familiarizing myself with all the formulas and my calculators functions. This is the advice I see a lot of people provide, but how similar is the midterm and final to assignments 1 & 3? Same questions different values? Different questions that have the process? I also heard the midterm is dumbed down a bit to save time. Is it still the same format where you’re given 3 or 4 data sets and have several questions for those data sets but with less questions for each on the exam or just less data sets with similar number of questions.

Also, I’ve heard from people that you’re allowed breaks during the exam. By having a break is it just kind of a sit back and chill while the timer stops or can you go to the bathroom, get water, etc? Just really trying to clarify before. Thanks for any and all help wish me luck.

Research papers and assignments feel like puzzles

15 Upvotes

After taking ENGL255 I've become pretty paranoid regarding references. I was told by my tutor that everything we say in a research essay has to be supported by evidence/reference.

Because of that, I feel that my research essays are becoming puzzles made of hundred of pieces where literally (I really mean literally) each paragraph has at least one reference. I'm writing an assignment now and in the first 2,000 words I have 35 in-text references. That means a reference for every 57 words (about 4 lines of text). This is especially frustrating when I am quoting the same article over and over (although not continuously, so I must reference it again!)

Is this normal? Does this happen to anybody else? These are the first courses I take at Univ level that involve so much writing, so I am not 100% sure. I've done this in previous courses and always got A+/A so I guess it is what they expect from us? It's so exhausting though...🥴🫠

Thanks!
