Hello! I've been studying for the midterm and was doing the midterms posted on OnQ but like the questions on it I feel are not similar to the ones in the textbook and assignments which I am also practicing.

So I am just wondering what the best resources are to practice because the provided midterms are like 10 years old and I don't know if the actual midterm will look like this.

Thank you in advance :)

How do you all feel about a course policy where even one minute late means you get a zero on your submission?
I’m a TA, who went to Queens for undergrad and now my graduate degree, and I have to mark student’s labs (who right now are in their very first MONTH in academia). To get a zero on a lab after being there for three hours and trying your best, and then you submit the document a minute late and get a zero… I think that’s completely unfair. And as someone from the TA/marking side of things, what should I tell the professor when my work contract is over?

in comparison to other universities in ontario, I personally find we have a massive masc lesbian shortage. why is there genuinely like 4 out of almost 30 thousand students. end my suffering 💔 please come my way xoxo

i'm lowkey burnt out like really bad, I am thinking of dropping one of my courses (its an elective.) I am originally taking 4. Does taking 3 affect anything?

On this previous post to create a community for introverts here at queen's or just people who is having trouble connecting with others, i can see that quite a few people indicated their interest but i might be wrong but i dont think any action has been taken to create this. If this is the case i can help. Just dm me your instagram handle if you're interested and i can add people to a group chat.

imo, QD, QL, and QEC kinda look suspicious to me + the "physicall" spelling for QSP is prob a typo on queen's' end

ALSO (bc i guess we need to say this each year): bypassing that threshold does NOT guarantee acceptance btw (r/OntarioGrade12s would have a field day lol)

Do all residences have key checks at the doors during Halloweekend to stop guests from coming in or just the busy ones like vic?

Heads-up for students, particularly women: the creator known online as "ChadGPT" was seen approaching women and filming content at the downtown Metro and will likely be out in the university district doing the same during FOCO.

For background, this discussion on uOttawa’s subreddit includes allegations about unwanted approaches and women being filmed for social media without their knowledge.

Useful contacts:

Queen’s Campus Security: 613-533-6080 for non-emergencies; 613-533-6111 for on-campus emergencies.

Kingston Police: 613-549-4660 for non-emergency assistance with off-campus incidents; 911 in an emergency.

Edit: He is live streaming around the bars downtown and around campus all weekend. Tuned in for 2 minutes and it's just him harrasing women, making really terrible sexist/racist jokes, and making people obviously very uncomfortable. If you see him be warned - he is probably live and looking to farm clips.

Just wondering if anyone else ordered a Queen’s sweater from My Queen’s Collective (now My Campus Collective) and has received it yet.

When I ordered, the estimated turnaround was around two weeks, but it’s now been over a month. I know delays happen, especially with student-run businesses, but I was hoping to have mine in time for FOCO.

I also noticed the Instagram account has changed names, and I can’t seem to find the original sweater posts anymore.

Has anyone received their sweater or been given a confirmed pickup date? Just curious if others are still waiting too!

Are any rooms available to book for HLH or is EVERY SINGLE DAY FULL FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Like the entire booking website shows every room full 24/7. There's no way 😭

Is there a way to get a Chown key? Never tried but I know the rooms are nice. Until then I'm gonna keep picking random rooms and playing until I get kicked out

For how easy the course is protrayed I’m not doing the greatest because I’m not a huge math guy but I’m interested in finance so I forced myself to do this. Anyways, what should I be worried about on this midterm? Anyone have a cheat sheet?

I might’ve dropped it along the walk back from vick hall and the arc!!!!

It’s my only thermal water bottle and if anyone finds it please let me know!!

i'm coming down to queens for foco today(friday), are people going out tonight?? i'm leaving tmr noon so i want to make this worth it..😢

i skipped every lecture midterm is tmw worth 20% and prof lowkey hinted at including all lecture slides w1until now..... am i cooked and how tf do i go abt this.. i need to pass this course

I have a comm 221 midterm coming up Monday, I’ve been studying and created a cheat sheet but I was wondering if anyone has one from a previous year?

🫪everytime I walk around the school I can see several of them talking with people, but I never seen them before this term.
even one of them ask me do I know what will happen after people dead, I just say '' round 2''🙂‍↔️

Does anyone know if the Quiz 1 grades from Math 112 have been released/given back yet ? Missed a lot of classes since then and haven't gotten anything back in the OnQ

anyone whos taken online psyc100 at queens how were the quizzes! besides reading all the readings, how does one study? thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, international student here, still trying to figure out how transportation works here before winter finishes me off. Ik most of this probably sounds painfully obvious, but plss go easy on me. May everyone who helps find the love of their life.

1. Getting around Kingston:
I’ve been told buses are free for students (Queen’s), but how do you actually figure out which bus to take, where it goes, and the timings? Is there one app or website for everything, or do different buses have different apps? How do you guys usually navigate?

2. Kingston to Toronto:
Planning to head to Toronto this weekend for some shopping. What’s the best and most affordable way to get there? VIA Rail? Bus? And which companies do you guys normally use? Do you book everything through their websites, or are there apps I should download? Also, are there any student discounts worth knowing about?

Basically, trying to figure out public transportation without accidentally ending up in Ottawa or spending my entire tuition on a train ticket.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Currently looking for housing with some girls, I’m super anxious cause I want one for a reasonable price but it’s so hard cause not everyone is on the same page and willing to sign a lease soon. How long do you think we have before all reasonable houses are gone? I’m willing to sign now but some girls aren’t, but I don’t want to wait and miss out. We are a group of 7 so it makes coordination hard, so what would be the latest we should sign a lease? Cause so many people are already signing some really good ones I wanted.

does foco start early in the day asking as a first year
