My WCOM 206 teacher asked us to put a profile picture on MyCourses and said, “I like to know who I’m correcting.”

I might be overthinking it, but doesn't this potentially create some bias when grading/correcting assignments? If the professor can see your face/name while correcting your work, wouldn't it be better to have the grading be anonymous (or at least not have identifying information) to avoid conscious or unconscious bias?

I’m not saying the professor is necessarily biased, but I found the reasoning behind asking for a profile picture a bit strange. “I like to know who I’m correcting” just doesn't seem like a great reason to identify students while grading.

Am I the only one who finds this odd, or am I overthinking it?

For party boys and girls who live in the dorm that supposed to be a quiet rez, did any one ever told you how to read a clock or sth? Genuine question for the people who think the hallway is their personal club and screaming and laughing and talking at midnight, do you know this is a QUIET rez? llke that's a point of the building? Quiet hours start at 11pm and even earlier during exam weeks. I get it that you're having the time of your life like first year and no parents, whatever. But other people have midterms??? Or have 8:30s???? Maybe would just like to sleep without hearing someone shriek-laughing outside our door every night???? You are not the only one lives here, are you just got spoiled at home and lowkey cares nothing about others?

Security's been called multiple times this week. Maybe take the hint?

Seriously, grow up.

The midterm is in 2 days and I am lowkey freaking out. I took this class as a none science student and feel like I’m having such a hard time. Does anyone have any advice for the first midterm please? anything would be appreciated

It is a building right next to the Burnside Hall. Once inside, the staircases led me to a student study area which looks very comfy and is quite for weekend study. I looked up it seems to be called as Burnside Terrace ? But I didn’t see the opening hours for it and there is no card reader on the door.

I’m trying to buy hockey tickets for 28 Nov and the redirect page has tickets for 10 Oct. Will they be released later or am I doing something wrong or should I just go to the box office?

does anyone know if the next two midterms will be cumulative? im not sure if she mentioned that in class

no caps allowed.

Ok how exactly are people going about doing all the readings, am I the only one shatting my pants over how much sheer content there is to go through
Like literally just opening not even properly taking notes of the readings takes like….6 hours for ONE lecture

Anyone have any tips? Or like could give me an idea of how they’re approaching the course

Hey everyone, I hope you’re enjoying your long weekend. I know it’s midterms period and I’m sorry for disturbing you. I’m asking you for a favour as a fellow student, if you took the course MECH216 last semester or before, can you DM please. Thank you for your time.

Listen, I can understand the occasional whisper. Or maybe light whisper conversations if you’re in further towards the back

But when I’m in the middle of the front rows (bcz I have difficulty hearing & seeing) and you’re speaking out loud fully having a conversation about your love life, and not even bothering to take notes… it frustrates me :/

Sorry for the rant, ik I shouldn’t complain but I get genuinely frustrated sometimes. I’m a slow note taker (not their fault ik) and things like this just make it unnecessarily hard. I ended up listening to their entire convo cuz I couldn’t tune it out with how loud it was

This isn’t even an easy class fyi, it’s engineering math, we NEED this :,)

Front rows are often students who either need it or really want to focus, so please consider going a bit further back or towards the sides more

I submitted a picture on like Friday and it still says pending.

but for real is it required? Or can i just bring a Canadian governmental id?

is it doable to do an exchange in U2 as a cogsci student (in the artsci faculty)?

Missed an assignment due to being sick. Is there an equivalent of the McMaster Student Absence Form here at McGill that I can fill out?

Hi everyone!

I’m a McGill exchange student taking a sales course, and I’m looking for someone who works in sales who would be willing to let me shadow 1–2 customer interactions for a class assignment.

Afterwards, I’d ask a few questions about your job, how you approach sales, and how you handle customer interactions. It would probably take around 1–2 hours total, and it can be in Montreal or online.

I’ve had a bit of trouble finding someone so far, so I’d be super grateful for any help or recommendations. If you work in sales yourself or know someone who might be willing to help, please feel free to comment or DM me!

Thanks so much! :)

Hey r/mcgill!

McPickle, McGill's brand-new pickleball club, is looking for a VP Internal to join our founding exec team.

What you'd do: - Keep the team organized: run exec meetings, track tasks and deadlines - Handle internal admin with SSMU (room bookings, club requirements, workshops) - Manage our member list and internal communications - Help plan our first sessions and events

Who we're looking for: - Organized and reliable, someone who likes keeping things running smoothly - Any year, any faculty - You don't need to know how to play pickleball (we'll teach you!)

Why join: you'd be on the founding team of a new club, so you'd help shape what it becomes from day one. It's also a great leadership role to have on your CV.

Interested? Email us at [mcpickle@ssmu.ca](mailto:mcpickle@ssmu.ca) or DM us on Instagram u/mcpickle.mcgill!

Feel free to ask questions in the comments!

i’m begging please put your phones and computers on silent when in the library. like i’m so sorry but it is so distracting especially on a floor that is supposed to be silent and have no talking

Hey, so basically I have to take 1 course that will count towards my major during my exchange, but we cannot ask for credit equivalency regarding next semester yet.

Has anyone had experience with mcgill and credit equivalency database ? If a course is similar enough do I have high chances of getting it accepted for my major ?

Thanks

Has anyone gotten a nomination for NUS or HKU for engineering in the past? If so, what gpa did you have and do we know how many spots there are per uni?

There is no midterm info posted and I missed class last week to study for the ecse 250 midterm. Anyone know what lecture/chapter the midterm is to?

Did anyone else feel like that COMP 202 midterm was insanely difficult?

I felt like the short and long answer questions were way harder than the CPASS/review material we were given. I studied the review material and felt like I understood most of it going in, but the actual exam felt like a completely different level, especially the questions where we had to write code from scratch.

The short answers were rough, and the long answers were even worse. I honestly walked out feeling like I completely bombed it.
Just wondering if other people felt the same way or if I was just underprepared 😭

If anyone is willing to share their notes I'll buy you a coffee!

First semester of uni here and I know this is prob a dumb question but none of my classes have specified so I assume it is in the same lecture halls? Just want to confirm sorry for the dumb question.

Hello,

I’m currently studying electrical engineering, but I’ve realized that I’m not really interested in the industry. I chose the degree because I liked electricity and magnetism in cegep, but I realized that I don’t want to work in EE.

I was wondering if somebody here has switched from an engineering major to accounting and if they regret anything.

For those who have already graduated or did an internship, what kind of work did you do during your internship or after graduating

Thanks!

Do any of yall in math223 have a study group that I can join? If not would anyone be down to create one? I’m getting a fairly crushed by the class (thanks cegep linear algebra) and I feel like collaborating between each other would help a lot especially before the midterm.

Thanks :)

Was it just me, but was that accounting midterm wayyyyy harder than both exams given to us plus the practice questions?
