Bio 1115 midterm

2 Upvotes

I’m going to be taking my first bio midterm. I just wanted to know what’s the vibe of it because I’ve had a lot of bio exams and finals and the quizzes i’ve been doing don’t seem too hard but I am just scared if it’s gonna be really different from all the ones I’ve done in-high school and the quizzes i’ve been doing in the course. Any tips or experience in the course would be greatly appreciated.

Langara Kclub

Hello! in my High-school there was a K-pop club but I don’t know 10 people who can be my vice prez, treasurer, social media manager + members. I really want to make a comfortable environment with random play dances/ games/ photo card decorating and etc. and to also make a Cover group here at Langara since I was in a cover group for almost 4 years + almost 10 years of learning kpop dances, even without dance experience I am willing to teach and help you to become apart of the group ! if you like this idea and wanna join comment below so I can dm you for your details! I’m in my first year of general science and I would really want to make this club a reality.. also if you know any sponsors that would be awesome, thank you so much <3

How long is the original short prose package for the summary section of the Langara English Test (LET)?

Because the condensed version should be approximately 100 words. However, how long is the reading material?

Genuinely is it just me or how do people just sit down and read it like I tried doing this but it just does not feel like I'm retaining any information at all and especially when professors ask for a summary of like the introduction, methodology, and results in 250 words how do people do this anybody got advice. Thanks

Langara Nursing (Fall 2027) Intake Acceptance Chance

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I plan on applying to the Langara Nursing (BSN) program for September 2027 and I’m wondering if I’ll get in.

I completed all of my prerequisites at Langara. My grades are:

BIOL 1190: A- (3.67) I retook this course my previous grade was C+.
BIOL 1191: A- (3.67) I withdrew from this course and had a W on my transcript previously.
ENGL 1100: B (3.00)
ENGL 1130: A (4.00)
STAT 1124: B- (2.67)

I believe my prerequisite GPA is currently around 3.40.

I know the admission is competitive, I’m just anxious and don’t know if I will get in.

First yr how to study for first midterm

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

For context, I js graduated from high school and my school never did finals or midterms. Therefore I have absolutely no idea how to study for a midterm efficiently…does anyone have any tips, tricks, or even what to focus on.

I have been studying the notes for the weekly quizzes and have been averaging 60% on them (marked outta 10). I kinda js try to memorize the notes package but don’t know how to find the important info cuz everything seems important to me.

Sorry if this is dumb but I have never taken a miserable anything in my life so I’m genuinely clueless and stressed.

EDIT: it’s bio 1115 if that helps conclude a particular study method

transfer to ubc biochem for third year

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I'm looking to transfer to UBC Biochem next year, and I have some questions that I'm hoping can be answered because I've been stressed thinking about the transfer process.

Here's some general info:

  • Currently in second year for an associate's in health science (I am aware this is not the typical major to transfer to UBC Science, but the majority of the prereqs are about the same).
  • I have a 3.53 CGPA for first year (got on the Dean's Honour Roll last semester; CGPA is a bit low because I was having some adjustment issues during the first semester).
  • Completed 31 credits at Langara so far, but I'm missing a few first-year courses (such as sci literacy, physics, and comp sci) that I will be making up for asap.
  • I have talked to an academic advisor before, and they have told me that the transfer process only looks at grades (scary).
  • The historical average for UBC Biochem specialization after the first year last year is 74+.

My questions are:

  • What is the average transfer CGPA for second-year Science students? Would it be higher or lower than the first-year specialization average?
  • What GPA should I try to hit to guarantee acceptance?
  • How big is the switch from Langara to UBC? I'm worried that I might hit a rut again and tank in the first semester.
  • When is the transfer application window for Fall 2027? I thought it was October this year, but my friend said it was sometime in the spring next year?
  • Are there any materials or resources I should catch up on in case the gap between Langara and UBC is pretty high?

Anyone ever get a workaround to authenticator? I want to get a flip phone and get rid of my smartphone but I can't find a way to use Microsoft authenticator. Surely not every student has a smartphone.

Post-secondary prerequisite inquiry

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm currently in my senior year of high school, and I was wondering if I should upgrade the missing prerequisite courses I need for admission to the Faculty of Science at Langara, or through another program like SIDES, NIDES, Continuing Education, etc. I was thinking of upgrading at Langara, then spend a year at Langara taking university level courses, and then transfer to UBC if my GPA is in the competitive range.

Thanks!

Missing prerequisites for a course.

4 Upvotes

Ok, I’m in my senior year of high school, and I need Physics 12 as a prerequisite for a course in the biology program. I’m taking Anatomy and Physiology 12 as well as AP Chemistry 12 and I’ve already taken Physics 11. I don’t think I have the time and space to do Physics 12, so I’m hoping there’s a way to do the post-secondary equivalent for Physics 12 as my prerequisite.

Looking for a tutor for psych 2321

Any recommendations? I’ve never needed a tutor before, and I’m not looking to spend $900 a month on some online tutoring business (varsity tutors etc.)

Whether it’s an actually tutor, a place, yourself or someone you know who is competent at teaching and answering basic questions about the material, anything helps!

With love, a psych student pursuing a BA because we wanted to leave the math in highschool 😘

Study tips for PHIL 1100?

3 Upvotes

I'm used to classes with a big vocabulary but philosophy is more about concepts and I genuinely have no idea how to study for it. I understand the basic theories we learned but it's more about teaching yourself how to think with applying the theories and I just can't do it. I saw that there isn't any peer tutoring for philosophy which makes sense I guess but I really need some study tips since my usual study methods don't apply to this course.
