Hey I am 22 and I do not have my high school diploma. I am interested in doing child studies.

I have a resume and can write my essay but I don't know if it will be convincing enough. Need advice, especially from people that were in similar situation as me.

Thank you.

I cannot be the only one who's very nervous for the midterm this Saturday. Also still haven't fully understood Chapter 21 (Accounting for errors/estimates), should I lowk just sacrifice that chapter to focus on the other ones, what are the odds it represents an important part of the exam?

Also, personally my prof said that there would be no "case" question, does that mean the format for the long questions would be pretty similar to the "Moderate/Complex" EX-XX type questions in the WilleyPlus book?

How likely are that the long questions are going to be just to make the statements?

Tbh just any info on the past midterms or insider info lol would be very appreciated </3

Can anyone that’s taken this class before give me any tip on how you studied for this class? i‘m practicing with AI but is there anything that I should know? I heard it’s done in a computer but in person. Taking it with Rustam.

we have the lab tmrw right???? at 10:15am the pre lab quiz closes next week but they sent the email to change the schedule bc or the election so i’m a bit confused

does anyone know when the exam schedules come out?

Indian applicant, Fall 2027, looking at the MSc in Computer Science. Bachelors of Tech in Production & Industrial Engineering, 8.52/10. Algorithms, data structures and networks on the transcript, no OS or databases. About 5.5 years writing production software, mostly Web3.

Two things I'd rather hear from students than from the website:

- Do non-CS engineering undergrads actually get into this programme, or does the department quietly filter them out? If you came in from a different background, what did your file look like?

- I'm emailing professors whose work overlaps with what I've built, trying to find a real research fit before applying. At Concordia, does a professor saying yes actually carry the application, or does the committee decide independently and assign supervisors later?

Trying to work out how much of my time that outreach deserves.

I know it’s all MPC questions but I’m wondering what the difficulty of them is. Seems to be just info from the power points

Hey where can I find recent midterms to revise for my courses , cz all the ones I find are pretty old and the midterm system of some courses has changed lately so it's not the same type of tests anymore

I'm in a group of five and only one person has helped me out for our entire report. I plan to unshare access and submit the report without the names of the people who didn’t help. The thing is, we still have a presentation coming up. If I snitch on the slackers, will the prof tell them I snitched? I don't want to create any tension/get ganged up on in the slim chance they get their act together and actually do their parts for the presentation.

With that said, abolish group projects, I've had enough of this bs.

Lot of ressources to sell. Dm me

for any one whos taken her in person midterms before what are they like.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a 2nd-year Honours Science student at John Abbott College, and I’m trying to decide between McGill or Concordia for Chemical Engineering. (I will apply to both)

I know I want to go into the green tech/sustainability space, however I'm not sure whether that will be carbon capture (CCUS) or developing alternatives to plastics (biomaterials/green chemistry).

Here is a bit about my profile and what I’m looking for:

• The Academics: I genuinely enjoy school, learning theory, and dealing with complex concepts. My favourite subjects right now are physics and calculus and I enjoy biology more than the first 2 chemistry courses at John Abbot. (yikes!, but chemical engineering seems to have the jobs I am interested in)
• The Career Goal: I don't want to end up in corporate "greenwashing" and want a career where I can work on legitimate, impactful environmental solutions, whether that's on the industrial scaling side or process optimization.
• I am worried about finding an interesting job after a bachelor's degree. In school I have not really enjoyed the labs, so I do not see myself being in a lab all day doing repetitive testing or hyper-isolated academic research. I don't have much experience with or exposure to computational modeling yet, so I don't know if I will like that.
• I want to stay in Canada for my career, but may or may not stay in Quebec.

My dilemma:

• Concordia has their new, dedicated sustainability/carbon-neutral focused ChemEng curriculum and a highly praised Co-op program. It feels like a direct pipeline to a practical industry job, but since the program is newer, I'm not sure how deep the theory goes.
• McGill has massive global prestige, an incredibly strong academic reputation, and a deep theoretical foundation that appeals to my nerdy side. But from what I read, it seems heavily skewed toward traditional academic research, grad school prep, or R&D labs.

For anyone who has been through or is currently in either of these programs:

1. How easy is it to pivot into the green sector (plastics alternatives or carbon capture) from either school (without doing a PhD (or masters))?
2. Does McGill’s prestige actually open doors in industry that Concordia’s Co-op program doesn't?
3. Is it easier to get a job after my degree from Concordia because of the Co-op?
4. Given that I love theory but want a practical, non-R&D industry job at the end, which environment would suit me better?

I did a lab tour yesterday at McGill and I really liked it. I will try and visit both in the open houses next Saturday.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

how do you study for this midterm or do u just make a rly good cheat sheet???

hey guys what will the midterm involve? is it like the quiz just mcq? i in biao li class

Hi! I (23 F) have just started my PhD at Concordia this September - I haven’t met very many people yet. I paid for a couple months membership at the Concordia gym and am looking for a gym partner to stay motivated. I also like to rock climb and explore the city. If any of this interests you please shoot me a DM ! (Women only for gym please - for rock climbing any gender is good)

I have to submit a cpp coding assignment and im using microsoft visual studio to code. The thing is that the assignment asked to be compiled on a g++ compiler (i think linux) and im using a window laptop to code. How do u test if the code can run on g++ compiler? I know that theres the computer labs with linux but how do you compile it on the schools computer? like do you have to download something on the laptop? I tried opening linux there once and i got so lost

btw this my first time coding, sorry if its a dumb question lol

The final exam schedule they gave us in the student center is that the final one or can it change still?

Hello, I was wondering whether the midterm on monday for kokotov's class will just look like the midterm samples he posted or will he include the word problems and complex numbers because every other professor includes those chapters in midterm 1. I never go to his class bc its just a waste of time so idk if he said what'll be covered in the midterm...

Hello

how do you balance with your undergrad thesis and courses(full-time)

hi guys, this is honestly so unrelated to school but i just wanted to get this off my chest and maybe get some outside opinions because i genuinely don’t know how to feel.

i recently lost a really good friend of over 3 years. she was literally my bff. we did everything together, told each other everything and i genuinely thought we’d be friends for a really long time.

for context, i’m a gay guy and she’s a girl. we met through a mutual friend and eventually became super close.
things started getting weird when she’d get “fake mad” whenever i hung out with our mutual friend without her. for context, me and this mutual friend live really close to each other, whereas my bff lives over 30 minutes away. so naturally, we’d sometimes have spontaneous little hangouts, literally just 30 minutes or even less. it wasn’t like we were organizing these huge outings and purposely excluding her. sometimes we’d just see each other because we were nearby.

but she’d make comments about how we were always hanging out without her, and although she’d play it off as a joke, it happened enough times that it started feeling like she was genuinely bothered.

now here’s where i found things a little hypocritical.
another girl, who was also a mutual friend of ours, moved to montreal from another province. this girl happens to live really close to my bff, so naturally they started hanging out more often. and honestly, i had absolutely no issue with that. i understood that they lived close to each other, just like me and our other mutual friend did.
but that’s exactly what confused me. she’d get upset when i had quick little hangouts with our mutual friend because we lived nearby, yet she was doing the exact same thing with this other girl. and suddenly, proximity was a perfectly reasonable explanation when it was her doing it.

then came my birthday, which honestly changed how i saw our friendship.

my birthday was coming up and she was the one who insisted on hosting a birthday party for me at her apartment. i was genuinely grateful because obviously letting someone use your place is a nice gesture, and i appreciated that she wanted to do something for me.
but the more we started planning, the more uncomfortable the whole thing felt.

at one point, she basically told me that letting me use her apartment was her birthday gift to me. and look, i understand that hosting people at your place is a contribution, but something about the way she said it made the whole thing feel transactional. especially because she was the one who insisted on throwing the party in the first place.

it wasn’t like i had begged her to host something for me. she offered and pushed for it.

then there was the cake situation. her sister had apparently suggested baking me a birthday cake, which i thought was really sweet. but then it turned out that i was expected to pay for it myself.

and before anyone says anything, i have absolutely no problem paying for my own birthday expenses. i wasn’t expecting anyone to spend hundreds of dollars on me or throw me some extravagant party. it was more the fact that someone had suggested making me a cake for my birthday, only for me to end up paying for it.

it just felt a little strange, especially because the party had originally been presented as something she really wanted to do for me.

as the planning continued, i started realizing that although she was the one who insisted on hosting, i was the one paying for things and organizing the details. it didn’t really feel like she was putting much into it financially beyond providing the space.

again, i’m not saying she owed me money or that a friendship should be measured by how much someone spends. but when someone insists on organizing something for you, you kind of expect it to feel like they’re doing something for you, rather than making you feel like you’re asking for a favour.

there was also a situation where she told me she was inviting another friend of hers to my birthday party without even asking me first.

i found that really weird because although it was her apartment, it was still supposed to be my birthday celebration. i didn’t make a huge deal out of it because i didn’t want to seem ungrateful, but it was another little thing that bothered me.

the whole situation honestly left me with mixed feelings. on one hand, i appreciated having a place to celebrate. on the other, i didn’t really feel celebrated by someone who was supposed to be my best friend.

and then, on my actual birthday, something else happened.

i had a birthday dinner and was free afterwards. she was hanging out with the girl who had recently moved to montreal after I went the next day to help clean up the mess. her and the girl ended up going clubbing together that night without even inviting me, they BOTH texted me happy bday the next day on my actual bday like in the evening even though they were both awake and shes supposed to be my closest friend.

i honestly found that so strange because if it were her birthday, i would’ve made an effort to include her. it wasn’t even about going clubbing. it was the principle of knowing it was my birthday and not thinking to invite me.
i know nobody is obligated to spend every second of their friend’s birthday with them, but considering how close we were, it genuinely hurt.

she’d also say things like she prefers going clubbing with girls because when she goes with a man she’d have to pay for things, or she’d remind me that “you’re still a man.”

like okay? i’m literally your best friend. why does my gender suddenly matter when we’re talking about going out together?

it sometimes felt like she was using the fact that i’m a guy to justify treating me differently, which made me uncomfortable. I understand i’m a guy, i’m not saying im one of the girls or sumn its more the principle, it feels just like a excuse.

we also had a pretty big incident when we went clubbing together before the whole girl from other province moving into mtl.

she ended up leaving me to go make out with someone. eventually, i wandered off too and was doing my own thing.

afterwards, she got really upset with me and accused me of leaving her alone. she was crying, called me selfish and said she felt unsafe being left alone around men, mind u this was unity a gay club ik women still get hit on i was getting hit on left n right too .

i understood why she was upset about feeling unsafe, but i was confused because she had initially left me to make out with someone.

we ended up arguing, and at one point i even said our friendship was over. eventually, we talked things through, and i apologized the next day because i genuinely cared about her and didn’t want to lose our friendship.
what bothered me was that she only apologized after i did.

after all these situations, i started realizing that i wasn’t really happy in the friendship anymore. it felt like there were constantly these little situations where i’d leave feeling uncomfortable, confused or like i had done something wrong.

and the thing is, none of these incidents individually would’ve been enough for me to end a friendship of over three years. it was more the accumulation of everything.
so instead of confronting her or starting drama, i just started distancing myself.

i wasn’t rude to her. i didn’t insult her, block her or tell our mutual friends to stop talking to her. i just stopped putting in as much effort because i genuinely felt exhausted by the friendship.

recently, she messaged me and i genuinely forgot to respond because i was busy.

she ended up sending me another message saying something shady and rude telling me I should just tell her to fuck off

i was honestly so confused because it was literally one unanswered message. it wasn’t intentional, and i didn’t understand why she reacted so strongly.

and now today, i noticed she unfollowed me on instagram and removed me as a follower too.

i guess that officially confirms the friendship is over.
the thing is, i’m not even necessarily angry. i’m more disappointed because this was someone i considered one of my closest friends for years. we have so many memories together, and it’s weird thinking we might never speak again.

what makes it harder is that we still have mutual friends, and i genuinely don’t want things to become awkward or turn into some situation where people feel like they have to choose sides.

part of me feels like the mature thing to do would be to reach out and have a conversation, but another part of me feels like i’ve already put enough effort into this friendship and should just leave things alone.

i also wonder if distancing myself without explaining why was unfair on my part. maybe from her perspective, i randomly became distant and stopped caring, whereas from mine, i’d been feeling uncomfortable for a while.

i know i’m not perfect and i’m sure there’s probably things i could’ve handled differently. i’m also aware that this is only my perspective and she might see some situations differently.

but at the same time, i genuinely don’t think a friendship should feel this exhausting. im so drained.

so i guess my question is, would the mature thing be to reach out and try to clear the air, or is it perfectly reasonable to just walk away without saying anything?

i don’t necessarily want the friendship back. i just don’t know whether staying silent is me protecting my peace or letting my pride get in the way.

Any of you know what chapters/material will be on Ayhan's midterm? Haven't heard anything from the prof and the midterm's on Monday 😅

I was so hyped for that career fair because so many good companies were going. Turns out 90% of the people they sent were like 25 years old and have been at the company for 3-8 months.

Lowkey such a dehumanizing experience to talk to a recruiter a couple years older than me. Also it was so crowded you had to be screaming into the ear of whoever you were talking to so you can have a conversation.

Did anyone get any good lead besides 20 different LinkedIn’s?

I genuinely hate this class with a burning passion. For people who are not visual and more conceptual it really is hell. Like bro I don’t think in images I THINK IN CONCEPTS, I CANT PROJECT THE DANG LINES AND FACES CUZ I SEE NOTHING IN MY MIND LIKE STOP ASKING ME TO VISUALIZE THE OBJECT.
