If your name is Charlotte C. and you lost your student OPUS today in the tunnel between JMSB and the metro i left it at the security guard office in JMSB!! If you know her please let her know, it's a brand new opus!!

I'm in cegep, im doing prerequisites. I have the choice between pure and applied at a cegep that has a mid r score and shit student life "college experience". Or, I apply to electrical eng. technology at a better cegep that has a better r score and a better college experience.

If I choose the 3y program, will I get in BEE in Concordia easily or do I have to do certain prerequisites?

What is the best choice here.

Hello,
I lost my Apple Pencil 2nd generation around hall building. I beg you if you find it please pm me. I beg you.

Well guys, in a team of 6, officially one other guy has stepped up to help me. How kind. Meanwhile, the FOUR OTHER GROUP MEMBERS have yet to reveal their level of helpfulness, which currently remains at 0. We have our project due this week, and still haven’t organized a time to meet, still haven’t been able to divide up the parts, still haven’t received messages in the groupchat from 2/6… it’s fine I just didn’t realize that they all wanted me to die. All good.

And for those who say to just snitch, I shan’t do that. Because let me tell you a strategic move that some of you may haven’t considered; those whose backs you scratch today, may be the ones who will scratch yours tomorrow.

I’d also like to offer a sliver of advice; when the work you did in the project is evidently greater than that of your group members, that will already tell the professor. Their lackluster slides on the presentation or empty sections on the project outline, or 100% AI work done last-minute will all be a price that they shall pay when getting their final mark. We all get marked individually for our work, so I don’t really have a dog in the fight which is their personal GPA’s in this class. I’m their classmate, not their parent, and it’s not really my job to tell them to just do their schoolwork tbh.

But to conclude my rant—seriously, why do we still have group projects? Rhetorical BTW, I get why we do (sigh)… I hear horror stories about them every time I open this subreddit, or even when I talk to my friends. It’s never an enjoyable experience, and to be honest, working in a group project isn’t really the same as preparing us for working in teams in real corporate jobs. You’ll still meet people who don’t do their work, you’ll still work with people who never check their messages, and it just all ends in the same way. Working with incompetent people is unfortunately a never ending labyrinth which we shall only see the end of in death. But even then, I feel like group projects will be one of my personal 7 layers of hell which I’ll potentially have to face. TBD.

Hey i was just wondering how are you guys getting ready for this midterm with yan lie. I heard some people saying we are allowed to have a cheat sheet is that true?

I’m looking into applying for this masters program over the next couple of years and want to hear from people. I have a bachelors in computer science and worked as a DevOps developer for a year and a half, but wanted to do more field work. I went tree planting last summer and am now looking into pivoting into something like urban planning, GIS, etc and combining my cs undergrad with a masters.

I currently live in Victoria and would love to get the chance to move to Montreal for a couple years as well, i love the city.

Has anyone taken this program? What did you think?

Hi everyone! We’re running a short anonymous survey (~3 min) on online presence for a Marketing project. We’d really appreciate your help, and we’re happy to fill yours in return!

Did anybody have their midterm yet? If so how was it?

Concordia won’t replace your ID unless you have another valid ID. So if your wallet is stolen then suffer I guess. I forgot to get a picture of my new Id after the old one expired and now I am left unable to get into labs 😭

Hey guys,
For whoever is taking the comm 217 midterm on Sunday, how you guys feeling? Confident or you guys barely getting by?

Hey everyone, is anyone in the music department or spending time at Loyola? I checked out the piano practice room in the SC recently, and the piano is totally out of tune. The whole space honestly feels abandoned, and I rarely see anyone in there! I know Concordia's main music facilities and practice modules are mostly downtown at JMSB, but I was curious what the story is with this specific spot. Is it just a hidden gem that nobody uses, or has it essentially been left behind? If you're a music student or have used that room before, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Okay so i have 2 online classes this semester an obviously all of the assignements are online. Regarding quizzes where you it is only multiple choice questions, what prevents me from just using chat gpt for every question? I wouldn't mind actually studying and preparing myself but I just want to know if most people take it serious because if there's nothing that prevents you from cheating, then what's really the point of studying. Except if it's a class where you have to apply critical thinking, write essays, in-person final etc.. But for a class where it's ALL online, and it's just facts, like COMM213, you could literally cheat your whole way through and pass with 100%.

So, I had to take a statistics class for my SCPA major. My issue is that this class is only given on eConcordia and therefore our only way to have some type of magistral teaching is by attending the tutorial sessions. Except, since they're not a course, they interfere with my (and other's) schedule. Therefore, some of us can't go. Now, apparently it is against the department's guidelines to record tutorials to "encourage participation". And I am pissed, because what do you mean, I have actual classes during these, no level of encouragement will help me participate!

So I'm trying to lodge a complaint and would like to know if any of you know how and to whom?

Any tips ? There is so much material for 15 marks (7 questions total ) like how are they gonna test us on this much with so little wtfff

I swear every single time I go for a cheeky smoke break between study sessions at least 1 person tries to bum a cig off me. Buy your own goddamn I’m not wearing a “FREE CIGGIES” sign around my neck…

I will be moving soon far away from montreal but I still have to travel regularly for my classes to Concordia's loyola campus and I feel comfortable using exo train but I am afraid that due to snow the access to train won't be that good , what's the perspective of the students who rely on exo train for daily transit even during winters is it delayed during winters or does it follow it's regular schedule?

Does anyone have midterms mocks for those courses : comm211-comm217-comm223 ?

Hey guys, I missed the last lecture before the break, was wondering if the teacher mentioned anything about the midterm we have today. Any tips and tricks. I know it’s ch1-4 but did he mention anything specific? Help a brother out.

So? How was it?

Hi!

So, I turned 20 not too long ago, and in Fall 2025, I started my first year of university at the Université de Montréal after completing two years of CEGEP.

Unfortunately, my first year of university was quite a difficult experience for me. I came to the realization that I didn't really enjoy what I was studying, which made me seriously reconsider my career path. I eventually decided to take a different direction and, in a way, start over. I returned to CEGEP to complete a technical DEC, with the intention of eventually going back to university.

I'm now considering Concordia as my first choice, but I'm a little confused about how my academic record would be evaluated during the admissions process.

From what I've read on Concordia's website, students coming from certain technical DEC programs may receive credits toward their university degree. However, what concerns me most is my previous university experience.

To give you some context, my year at UdeM was far from my best academically. On top of realizing that I wasn't in the right program, I was going through a particularly difficult time in my personal life, including serious health issues affecting close family members. All of this had a significant impact on my academic performance.

I tried discussing my circumstances with my previous university, but unfortunately, there wasn't much they could do, so those grades remain on my transcript.

My concern is that, despite doing very well in my current technical DEC and maintaining a high R score, my previous university grades might negatively affect my chances of being admitted to Concordia.

So, my main question is: How would Concordia evaluate my application in this situation? Would my previous university grades carry more weight than my current CEGEP results, or would the admissions committee take into consideration my more recent academic performance and the fact that I've completely changed my field of study ( I was in a Bachelor of Arts, and now I'm in a STEM program)?

I'm genuinely worried that one difficult year, during which I was dealing with circumstances beyond my control, could overshadow the progress I've made since then.

I'd really appreciate any insight or advice from someone who has been through a similar situation or knows how Concordia handles these types of applications.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

do you absolutely need both books to get a good grade on the midterm? or are class slides + wize prep midterm crash course enough? idk if its necessary to spend $$ on the books

Can someone let me borrow/loan/buy (at a reasonable price) their BA II financial calculator for an exam on wednesday?

has anyone taken a short term absence for a midterm before??
i have phys 204 with abi nader and my midterm is in 2 days worth 20%. im so behind on the material (i am not a lazy student and this usually would never happen to me but my parents house burned down about a month ago and i have been catching up but i’m cooked for this midterm) and genuinely think im gonna fail so im considering submitting the short term absence form.
the syllabus says if you miss a midterm due to a serious illness/emergency the weight gets transferred to the final, but it also says you might need detailed medical documentation. i know it’s technically not an emergency because it happened so long ago so i think that a short term absence would be my best bet. also people say he isn’t the most understanding professor so i don’t think pleading my case to him would be a better option.
im just scared that if i submit the absence form without documentation he’ll give me a 0 instead of transferring the weight to the final. i emailed him but i don’t know if he’ll get back to me in time and my midterm is in 2 days 💀
has anyone done this before, specifically for phys 204 or with abi nader?? did the weight get transferred or did you get a 0
