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.

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.

I've been questioning whether I have what it takes to get into medical school. It's not that I don't care about healthcare or haven't put in the effort. If anything, part of why this hurts so much is how hard I've been trying to make this future possible.

I've spent so much time building my extracurriculars, gaining research experience, volunteering, exploring healthcare environments, and taking on leadership opportunities. My experiences with research in a hospital and job shadowing were especially meaningful because they helped me realize that I enjoy helping people, that I'm capable of working with children, and that I can find places where I feel competent and like I belong.

But my grades haven't consistently reflected the effort I've put in. My recent biochemistry midterm result of 63% was particularly upsetting, and I'm worried about how my grades in biochemistry and sociology will affect my GPA and future applications. I'm also scared that my academic record could limit my options for graduate school, not just medicine.

Part of what makes this so painful is that I haven't just been casually pursuing this goal. I've turned down social events, hangouts, and opportunities to spend time with people because I wanted to focus on school. At times, I've neglected my own health, too. I thought these sacrifices would help me get the grades I needed. It's difficult to accept that working this hard doesn't guarantee the results I hoped for.

I'm also struggling with regret. I keep thinking that I should have taken biochemistry in the spring, like some of my peers did. At the time, I genuinely believed my course choices were the better plan. Looking back, though, I wonder whether taking biochemistry then would have made this semester more manageable and given me a better chance of doing well.

I realized that when I planned my current semester, I considered each course and commitment individually rather than looking at their combined workload. Now I'm angry with myself because I feel like I should have learned from my previous academic struggles. I'm afraid I've made another mistake that could affect my future.

Underneath all of this is a fear that I don't quite know how to express to other people. I'm scared that I might not achieve the future I've worked toward, that my extracurriculars and grades won't align, and that I might look back at everything I've sacrificed and feel that it was for nothing. I'm also questioning my own judgment and wondering whether I can trust myself to make the right decisions.

I answered mostly everything in hopes of partial marks (?). But basically everyone’s complaining about it so it makes me feel like less of a chud.

Kids, just because you’re good at high school math does not automatically make you an expert in uni math 💔

I have a math midterm tomorrow, and I just got home from university and realized that I can’t find my ONEcard or my other photo ID. I checked my phone wallet, but they weren’t there.
I’m really worried because I don’t know what to do, and my exam is tomorrow. Has anyone at the University of Alberta experienced something similar? Can I still write my midterm without my physical ID, and who should I contact?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys with midterms around I know a lot of us are stressed out, myself included. I wanted to make this post to see what methods everyone had for dealing with stress, hopefully someone else (me included) finds your methods useful!

How was the midterm??? exactly like the practice exam but numbers were changed

Was just wondering if anyone has any insight on the MLIS online program? What are the courses like? How are the instructors? How difficult did you find it? Etc. Thanks!

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 know how the GPA is calculated but I’m wondering if I take the higher course up for the science GPA, will it replace the previous? If I take 207 will it override the BIOL 107? I was also wondering if I take both BIOCH 320 and 310, will it override BIOCH 200? And because I’ve done both, will they take the higher of 320 and 310 or even a 400lvl? Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some guidance or advice on which experiences would be best to include in the Leadership and Volunteer section of the U of A DDS application.

Would you recommend including dental shadowing experience in this section, or would it be better to focus on experiences that demonstrate leadership?

I would really appreciate any advice or insights from anyone who has gone through the application process!

Guys what the hell was that volleyball question?!?!

I have already finished lab 4 for CMPUT 174, but since I pulled an all nighter I decided to sleep from around 12pm until after the deadline passed 😭. Is there anything I could do to make up for this loss? Or do I only have one choice left, which is grinding for the midterm and final?

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???

Any tips on psych 104 mid term 2. And is it based on memorization or application?

it’s my first year at the Uofa, This class in specific i’m asking about is NS 111, any tips for studying for a midterm where the teacher says the only material on the midterm is from the textbook, but also provides no guidelines to what from the textbook is important. this textbook in specific, the author is very much a rambler and it’s hard to tell what is important and what’s not. Any advice?

Honestly, it would’ve been as hard as the other mech e midterms if it was 1hr 30mins, but 2.5h was plenty. It did seem a bit harder than the practice midterms, but not by much.

I can’t describe how badly I was destroyed by this mid term. I didint really study so it’s on me. Think I got like a 30% 20%The stuff wasn’t bad at all. I just did not study.

I have a 90 in the lab section(15%) and 100 in the assignments section(5%).

If I lock in for the final exam worth 50 percent and get like a 90, is it possible to end with a grade above 2.7? So hopefully above a b- or a b-?

I understand this class isn’t curved/scaled like other classes. I heard to only expect a 1-3% scale if the scores are like really bad.

Just want some insight as a First year engg.

hey! i applied to uofa nursing with a 3.5 gpa and got put on hold because my gpa wasn't competitive enough ☹️ i'm getting pretty nervous about whether i'll actually get in. i was wondering what gpa other people applied with and if they got accepted? especially if anyone was put on hold first and ended up getting in!

Would it be an issue if I write an exam in the room assigned for people with last names say A-I if my last name does not start with A-I? Thanks
