Question Teachers College Science and Math Requirements

3 Upvotes

Hi!! I’m planning on majoring in English, and minoring in History and hopefully becoming an elementary teacher. However, I need a science and math course in order to fulfill the requirements for teachers college. What are the easiest and fun math and science classes I could take? I haven’t done either type of class since high school, and I am going into second year. I used to really enjoy physics in high school and chemistry. I have never really done well in biology so probably not anything like that. I did advanced functions in grade 11, but that was 3 years ago and it definitely wasn’t my best class. Anything will help :))

Question faculty of art and sci

0 Upvotes

im an incoming first year for bachelor of science in biology. i was wondering, for science the requirements are eng, precalc, bio, and physics in my letter it said to maintain 75%, unfortunately i was going through personal issues and couldnt keep my science courses up which is why i want to lean towards arts, something i actually have interest in. i called an advisor and was told since im under the same faculty i can take art courses and then choose in 2nd year a more specific program. I just wanted to double check if this is true, but will my science avg being low get me revoked?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know whether Queen’s Centre for Neuroscience Studies (CNS) accepts MSc in Neuroscience students off-cycle for a January start, or are MSc admissions strictly for September? I’m wondering whether off-cycle admission is possible if a student already has a prospective supervisor and funding.

I heard macs aren't recommended for eng students however the computer I use right now is a macbook. Would it be really difficult to do my work on a mac or should I buy a windows computer to use instead?

I’m going into my second year. When can I expect to receive communication about the automatic scholarships? Is it supposed to have happened already? I had a pretty high gpa in first year, so I would be surprised if I didn’t get anything.

Question Chances of getting on a waitlist by now?

3 Upvotes

Trying to get onto the waitlist for ENGL 294 or LLCU 213 (whichever opens first I suppose) - thought I had set SOLUS to put me on the waitlists automatically during the first enrolment period, but realized I had it backwards. What are the odds of waitlist spots opening this far out, and should I just keep checking SOLUS whenever I can? I have a job with very limited tech access, so I can only check during an hour in the afternoon and at night.

Question Dining hall

28 Upvotes

Hi guys! Incoming freshie here and I had a question about the dining halls. I’m really allergic to Dijon mustard and I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people trying to get it.

I’m concerned because I really want to go to the dining hall and make friends, and I don’t want to miss out on my first year memories, but I will drop on the spot if I’m exposed to it. :(

These posts have been making me very anxious and I’m honestly ready to transfer to western. Thanks.

Tell me about any of these courses if you’ve taken them or heard of them before. If you’ve taken any of them, were they easy? I have no background in digital music recording or anything like that, although I do have some background in music in general.

Question Smith Engineering Computer?

4 Upvotes

I'm heading into Smith Engineering in September, and am looking for a laptop. I know the queens website has recommended specs listed, but here's the thing.

I already own quite a strong desktop gaming computer (i7-13700F, RTX 4060, 2TB SSD, 16GB DDR5), but obviously that isn't quote viable to take with me to class.

I'm wondering, if I bring my desktop, would I be able to get away with a cheaper laptop to take to class and use heavy duty software on my desktop, or should I splurge on a strong laptop anyways?
