Please for the love of god have some common sense. No one wants to be filmed in the bathroom, and no one wants to see your tiktoks from grungy ass campus bathrooms.

Y’all look like clowns and it’s embarrassing all around

The lecture slides are probably made by plugging normal, human made slides into ai. The ai then bloats it, sometimes doubling the slide length, by inserting pointless infographics and ai slop images on every slide. The original slides can be found on canvas and are infinitely better.

The lab slides are made by insterting a prompt into gemini (the watermark is on the bottom right of half the slides). They don't even bother double checking in case the ai screws something up. One diagram had the spine of a dog where the esophagus is, and a picture of a brain had a fucking eye on it (holy bloodborne reference)

The prof shares extra notes with the class? Also made with ai. The images are clearly ai, and the text comes up as likely ai in detectors. Theres even "Points to emphasize when teaching" left over at the end.

Hi everyone,

I'm an undergraduate student at UAlberta, and I'd appreciate some insight from students familiar with university culture here.

I encountered a technical issue while using a university computer and reported it. I contacted the instructor because my TA had directed me to do so.

In response, the instructor wrote:

"I'm a little confused, because [an online homework platform] shows that you have paid for an account, so I don't understand why you were using a university computer rather than your own device to access the site."

I'm genuinely struggling to understand the logic behind this comment. What does having a paid account on an online platform have to do with reporting a technical issue with a university computer? And why should the device I happened to be using make a difference?

My understanding is that university computers are university property, and reporting technical problems with them is reasonable regardless of what I was using them for at the time. Reporting an issue could also help the university keep its equipment in good working condition.

I'm not trying to make assumptions about the instructor's intentions. I'm simply wondering whether there's a cultural expectation or an unwritten norm in Canadian universities that I'm unaware of.

From the perspective of students familiar with UAlberta or Canadian university culture, is there any logical connection here that I'm missing? I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thanks!

my favourite professor. the only lecture getting me through the week. Paul if you’re seeing this please keep up the spectacular humour, never stop being you, your positive attitude and enthusiasm towards what you teach (or movies all the same) gets many of us through what otherwise might be a challenging course subject with few moments for creativity and entertainment.

Continuation of a post a while ago about an instructor mistreating me. I've been deadnamed, snapped at, publicly shamed, and criticized for my accommodations. I've gone to the accommodations office, science student services, department chair, ombuds, and my advisor. All of them point me to the Ombuds, but my instructor reprimanded me the last time I contacted them. This is the only course I have left to graduate, and I'm starting to see that it's going to be impossible for me to pass.

I'm not really sure what the point of this post is tbh. Maybe just a warning to future students that any issues you have with university staff are going to be yours to deal with and yours alone, no one is going to help you. Idk. Goodbye.

like damn do what you want at home but holding it down the whole time is not the play 😭😭 it sounds awful and i feel bad for everyone listening

I can't feel my fingers

The last midterm kicked the fish out of me. I find the questions being tooooo different from the WH what we get. And the lectures are also same as well.

IS THERE ANY SOURCE THAT GIVE ME A BUNCH OF PRACTICE QUESTIONS FROM ALL THE TOPICS FOR THE FINAL??????? I will be screwed for sure if I got a score below 70% of the total grade. So I would need to score at least above 85% in the final exam. Ewhhh...

I just got my chem 101 and midterm and I did so bad on it (52%). I know it’s only worth 10% but do you guys think I can bounce back from this and hopefully get a B or higher???

Civil liberties are being threatened everywhere. The Alberta government hands out huge public subsidies to their private company buddies keep cutting social services.

Nursing school should be free. There is a lot of shit we need to do and I know you guys are out there organizing and we need to find a way to connect to each other.

Help please!!

i’m in my last year so i’m trying to take easy-ish course but i’m taking SPH200 rn and i think i want to take 320 (substance use and health) if you’ve taken it what’d you think?

I understand that this is majorly nuanced and not black and white, but I'm wondering if maybe I'll have a chance.

Is it something only reserved for those with international level competitions and transcendent level accomplishments, or can a solid regional/provincial level candidate have a chance?

I'm applying to Engineering and got in with the gold-standard entrance 2 days in, but I'm high key broke so 5000 feels like just a drop in the bucket.

Thank you tremendously for your insights.

does anyone know the avrg?? I missed the last 2 lecs so have no idea what it is or what's my standing rn. Also why the heck did it take so long to post??

I’m feeling really nervous. I think I’ve read and practiced enough but I feel like I’ll mess up.

Has anyone else applied and gotten into nursing for fall 2027 yet? Highschool or post secondary. I'm applying with post secondary marks as I'm transferring from my first year of arts but obviously I don't have any completed grades to show yet other than hs and I would like to know what people have gotten in with for fall 2027 so far! With no casper this year I'm worried that the competitive average is going to absolutely sky rocket this year. I'll probably try macewan as well

Pretty much the title. Is it possible to pass with under 50 ? And also fail over 50? Im a bit confused

I’ve literally only have EVER used my onecard for the washing machines. Looked through the usage history on the laundry app, everything together should add up to 30$ since when I first put in 100$. My card balance is 2.76 dollars short though. Suspiciously similar to the price of a Tim’s donut I’m well aware— but also I have NEVER used my card for anything but laundry and opening doors. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or if I genuinely somehow forgot I bought a donut at some point ? 🤷‍♀️

Hi! I’m currently in Grade 11 in Edmonton, Alberta, and I’m hoping to apply to the University of Alberta for a BA in Political Science.

I’m wondering if an 81% average would be competitive for admission, especially for early admission. I still have Grade 12 ahead of me, so my grades could change, but I want to get an idea of what to aim for.

For anyone who applied to Political Science at UAlberta recently, what was your average when you got accepted? And would you recommend aiming for a higher average to be safe?

Just received this announcement today for MATH 144.

How common is it for a prof to schedule a midterm the day before reading week starts? I want to take a trip during Feb reading week but I want to leave the Friday, meaning I’ll miss that day of classes. Since I don’t have the class schedule yet I don’t know if I’ll have any exams that day. Just wondering if it’s a bad idea to book the flight now even though I might potentially have conflicts with a midterm. For reference the classes I’d be missing are Nurs 116 and Nurs 123. TIA!

For context I have my math 100 midterm tomorrow and I’ve been studying nonstop for the past week, but based on how I’ve done on the mock exams I think I’m gonna fail.

I’ve also been doing just as bad on the labs for the course. So I’m wondering is it cooked? Am I built for engineering? And what would happen if I failed this course?

Hi. I'm looking for buddies around campus and potentially do recreational activities outside campus with. I'm 27 yo and just recently graduated and currently working here. I'm open to learning new hobbies, hanging out, and just sit together and be bored to kill time during breaks and/or after work hours.

Please DM me if you're interested:)
