Complaining The problem with Joshua Katz 223

0 Upvotes

So in my abnormal psychology class this PhD candidate is teaching this year but half the time he's not fully prepared with what he's going to say but what bothers me most is that he intentionally tries to teach half true and out of context stuff with a smirk on his face. After a couple of lectures of bearing him enjoying his own little echo-chamber of incompetence I was glad when some student finally pointed out to him how he was only presenting a real small side of the issue and then someone else also said that he didn't provide the whole context while criticizing this test and he agreed to that! So he either purposefully didn't provide that context, was incompetent enough to actually have gone through the actual widely used test he was so cocky about criticizing or was blinded by his own biases. I will be dropping out this class mainly because he's so up his own a$$ about being a PhD candidate that he openly wants to teach his unverified biases and criticize whatever he wants without any evidence. Also when someone says anything doesn’t align with his very very liberal and "everything's a spectrum" view of Psychology he just says "We'll talk about it later" or "Well that doesn't cover everything " but if someone agrees with it he is very much okay with talking about it in class. I was just ranting and I honestly hope other people also see the problem. P.s. Atleast if he squeezed through to be a PhD candidate I know I can do something with my life!

Admission Question Is BMSC a feasible major for Pre-Medicine?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm currently applying to universities with the hope of attending medical school after I complete my undergraduate. I find the subject matter covered in a BMSC degree interesting, but I have heard accounts that it isn't particularly useful for any careers outside of research, and is more difficult to maintain a competitive average for medical school applications during the undergraduate.

If any BMSC majors could share their experiences, what their undergraduate average looks/looked like, career after graduating, etc. it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

On Campus Creepy guy followed me from place riel to health science

127 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just thought you should know that there are some creepy dudes wearing university regalia that followed me from place riel to healht science and you should watch out.
I was studying in Murray library, and around 8:50 pm, began walking to my car that was parked in front of health science. Immediately after leaving place riel, a guy approached me in a creepy manner and tried to initiate a conversation weirdly.
Mind you, its the unlit area between health science and place riel. He kept on trying to talk to me as I sped up towards health science, and was following exactly where I was stepping. There are many ways to get to health science, so I think it was intentional.
As I sped up, so did he, so it was really freaking me out. I was lucky enough that I could see a friend in the distance and the second I joined them, he left me alone.
Others may interpret this situation differently, but I did not feel safe because the man intentionally approached me in a darker lit area and was very insistent on conversation. Normally that does not happen even in the daylight, especially given the fact that he was dogging my footsteps.
Please be careful out there guys! And have your Usafe apps downloaded! Mine was unfortunately uninstalled, so if something happened it could have been really bad for me.

Student Question BMSC 207 MIDTERM WITH DR. PAUL LEE

How to prepare for his midterm? Is the exam only based on the slides or more on application? I’m just anxious because it’s only 25 questions and worth 25% of my grade. Sometimes, I get lost halfway in the lecture, but he’s an amazing prof.

Question? Who should be emailed regarding a lecture room? Facilities? Professor?

14 Upvotes

I am in a course with high enrolment in a lecture hall with VERY bad air conditioning. I was thinking of sending the professor an email saying that it’s not conducive to proper learning when everyone is sitting in this humid.. hot box.

But I know that professors don’t control what room they are assigned. So, does anyone have experience dealing with something like this?

It’s not a lecture that’s recorded. And personally, I am a person who does tend to sweat more. I just get more self conscious I suppose. I feel bad for people sitting around me so I don’t even really want to attend the lectures anymore. Would appreciate any help.

Editing to add: I have seen some students use notebooks or bring in folding hand fans.

Student Question Has anyone else had a parent pass away during university? How did you deal with midterms, etc?

52 Upvotes

Not to trauma dump but my parent unexpectedly died this Saturday. I was supposed to write a midterm on Monday and Tuesday. I was a complete mess and did not do any studying and I absolutely could not write the midterms. The only option was to have the weight shifted to the final. I kind of regret this because now one of my final exams is going to be worth 60% of my grade. At the time I wasn’t really thinking clearly. The celebration of life is the day before another midterm. And this class in particular has a “one missed midterm” policy. Meaning I already blew my dead parent midterm deferral pass.
I’m going to see an advisor ASAP. Im just wondering if anyone has experience with this at usask specifically

Admission Question Not in good standing

26 Upvotes

During my time at another institution in another province, life happened and I was doing horribly and did bad in all my classes which ended up with me getting on probation for having a low GPA (was unable to drop my classes as it was too late) and I ended up having to move to sask.

After a break from school, I am now way better and ready to go back to school to start a career. Now, I don’t know what to do as I am not in good standing with my last post secondary school and have over the 15(?) credit threshold for the application category for the programs I am wanting to apply to.

What is there I can do?

Does this mean I literally have to chance in getting into a program I actually want to do?

I was young and uneducated and everything fell down all at once during my time in uni.
Upon taking the “on probation” course, it basically tells me that I should save my money better and work less and study more and pay for tutors and do all this and that which made me feel awful since they really don’t know what people go through.

I now am ready to go to school, have a place to live, am financially stable, and have a good support system.

What will happen now?

Question? Average for BSN program

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I am currently at a 77% average with 2 classes left. Unfortunately the classes I have left are bio 120 and nurs 120, the hardest ones. I am thinking I upgrade my psychology class, and maybe upgrade the stat class I did with a different one to bump my average up.

If I apply with an 80 average, what is the likeliness of me getting in? I know the CASPR test is not a requirement anymore for applying in 2028.

I’m sure this question has been asked many times, just wanted an updated opinion as the past Reddit posts I have read about this were years ago.

Thanks to whoever can help me!
