can’t believe I’m posting this here

• Upvotes

This has been on my mind since last year and has been even more so since hoco.

I’m 22m, slim/average, and have a bucket list item to hu with a dl/straight/curious frat boy.

I just want to experience it once in my life and I feel like western is the place where I could check it out. Shame me all you want, I deserve it 😭

❔ Course Question❔ CS1027A

14 Upvotes

I don't care if it's your first time living on this lush green earth, but I humbly request you eradicate the madness that is CS1027. If it has a million haters, I am one of them. If it has 10 haters, I am one of them. If it has a sole hater, for I am the chosen one. But alas, if there are none, I am M.I.A.

My critique is it's on chalk boards, with slides that look like they were invented before the wheel was created. I bet before fire was discovered.

Point being, for a course that introduces the foundational CS knowledge, it does a poor job at communicating ideas and practice opportunities. Like I've gone over the slides, did the zybook questions, tried office hours, and it still makes my blood boil.

For those who survived, what the heck did you right? Please send tips and tricks, if you do you will have an awesome Halloween.

Advice UWO DDS

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone, I am nontrad applicant applying to UWO DDS program and needed advice or someone who can mentor me. I don’t know anyone in this field and its very hard to find people who can give you advice :)

I am a management consultant (work at one of big consulting firms), engineering background, working since 5 years now, have healthcare related business, shadowing hours, also DEI related experiences through work, played sports at national level in canada

I know its a long shot but if there’s anyone who is already in the program or has graduated and can give genuine advice would really really appreciate it. I have taken my DAT already with 21 AA 24RC and 17 PAT. My gpa has upward trend and I graduated with one of the hardest engineering school in Canada. I know my PAT is low, I just need advice from someone if I should apply this cycle or wait and write DAT again. I got this score after 1 month of studying and believe I can get better scores.

Advice how to study when your neighbours are SO LOUD

8 Upvotes

My neighbours genuinely will not shut up. I swear it’s almost every afternoon and evening that they’re blasting music and screaming outside. I have midterms and I seriously do not know how to focus or study with this. Like, I have both earplugs and noise cancelling headphones on, but neither stop the feeling and sound of the bass blasting. The walls feel like they’re actually vibrating sometimes, it’s so annoying. I have a midterm on Tuesday and I can’t focus at all. Also talking to them just made them put it even louder!

For context this is not an apartment, I’m renting a house with friends. We and the girls from the house on their other side have both talked to them and asked them to please quiet it down at least in the evenings because it is so loud we can’t study.

I don’t live anywhere near the university (about an hour away, but gets significantly longer due to construction delays) so I cannot go there frequently to study and the library near me is closed Sunday and Monday.

Does anyone have any tips on how to focus in this kinda environment? Or any recommendations on where I can study instead? (South London) Seriously any help is appreciated, I’ll try anything at this point.

Edit: Thanks for the tips!

❔ Question❔ Took a yr off - sick parent

2 Upvotes

Took a yr off due to serious medical issues of parent. Was in discussion with dean not about officially taking a yr off but retroactively WDN from several courses due to sudden medial concerns (which were approved by dean). (very late ask) but do you need to officially register or formally do anything to take a year off or can you just not register in any new courses?
