Listen, i'm in my early/mid twenties and came back to school for a shift in my career. this means i am in mostly first year classes with a lot of teenage freshman. i'm not that much older than a senior, and was never like this when i was a freshman so i can't believe this is such an issue in MULTIPLE of my lectures. for the love of gos SHUT UP!! if you're going to talk, keep it brief, whisper instead of talking full fucking volume, or just fucking text your friend whatever is sooooo important that it can't wait until later. it's disrespectful to the prof, it's disrespectful to your classmates, many of us aren't here on our parents money and actually want to at least TRY to learn while we spend thousands to be here. I feel like i'm turning into a boomer and this is a "kids these days rant" BUT THIS IS COMMON SENSE!!! SHUT UP!!!

Condolences to her family. I really liked her as a prof.

I tried using the service tonight because my car was parked a bit of a distance away, and I didn’t feel comfortable walking to it alone at night.
I checked the sign, confirmed that I was within the listed operating hours, and called the number three times at 9:10, 9:11, and 9:15 PM. Nobody answered, and I never received a callback.
Thankfully, a friend’s boyfriend ended up walking me to my car, so I got back safely. But I’m genuinely confused about how this service is supposed to work if nobody answers the phone during its advertised hours.
Has anyone else tried using Safe Walk? Is this a recurring issue, or did I just have a particularly unfortunate experience tonight?

anyone else had this asian guy who has asked for their number on campus? he’s asked me FOUR times since the start of the year. 😭 i stg this is all he does on campus.

to those pricks that SCREAMED in the elevator on the 6th floor as the doors shut….. i hope minor inconveniences like that follow you for the rest of your life and that you are taken back to this moment every time they occur.
i always confront people for being loud, but kind of hard to do when the culprits have an exit plan 😫

Does anyone know what time the desmarais building doors lock!? I work nearby and I’d like to park in DMS since it’s a bit cheaper but my shift sometimes finishes after 11pm/12am and i’m not sure how i would access the building from the outside and I do not want to get locked out😭😭

yall are pieces of shit.
i hate when people think rules doesnt apply to them, so disrespectful.

people go to this floor knowing they can study in a SILENT environnement and yall just go BLAH BLAH BLAH…bavardage….

there is two people talking next to me and they are seriously pissing me off. they had the whole fucking floor but nah they chose to sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND THEY CANT KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT.
AND they could have chosen the other floors to go and speak.

i wish there were some kind of security to tell them to shut the fuck up.

***This post is intended for people who are interested in applying to TMM soon/later on in their studies. And I wanted to make this post to address some rumour I have heard about TMM using my personal experiences and anecdotes. I am also procrastinating on studying for my last midterm haha

Hi everyone.

I started my third year in the Translational and Molecular Medicine (TMM) program a month and a half ago, and I wanted to put together a detailed summary of my experiences being in this program thus far. Now, you might be thinking, “You’ve literally only been in this program for a month and a half!!” And to that, I’d argue that while 1.5 months might not seem like a long time, I highly doubt my opinions about this program are going to change much since it’s kinda the same from this point forward.

I am first going to talk about what I like about TMM compared to biomedical sciences:

1. Smaller class sizes: I loooove how TMM feels like a close-knit community because everyone generally knows each other. I like the social aspect of it and being able to meet/become friends with like-minded individuals.
   
2. The professors want you to succeed: unlike back in biomed, I feel like the courses are structured in a way where it helps you succeed. There aren’t rlly “weed-out” courses that will tank your gpa (maybe proteins but I can’t speak on that yet).
   
3. The lab course is really nice so far. It is unlike any other labs I’ve done in the past. I don’t get traumatized anymore iykyk.

So now I will continue by listing the rumour, then addressing it using my experiences and opinions.

Rumour(s) #1:
- TMM is a bird program and it’s easy to get a 10.0 gpa…
OR the opposite:
- TMM isn’t a bird program at all/is really difficult and is falsely advertised as helping people prepare for medical school…

I’ve heard both extremes of the rumours related to the program’s difficulty. I think people tend to forget that, despite how TMM markets itself to attract prospective students, it is still a university-level program at the end of the day. So like any other STEM program, there are some elements that will be easy, while others will be more challenging. If you set yourself up with unrealistic expectations then you will inevitably get disappointed. Being in a program won’t magically get you a 10.0 gpa or give you all the skills/experiences you need for medical school.

Rumour #2:
- The first semester of first year of TMM is really heavy in terms of course load.

Now, this might be where my experience falls a little short, but after completing my first round of midterms, I do think there’s some truth to this rumour. However, I also think that the heavier course load is partly due to the fact that third-year courses are generally more content-heavy than second-year courses. While studying for my midterms, I didn’t necessarily feel any more overwhelmed by my TMM courses than I did when I was in biomedical sciences. That being said, I did have to memorize something like 30 different signalling pathways for one of my midterms, so I can definitely see why some people might find the program more challenging than what we’ve been used to in the past.

This is all for now. I will either update this post as I gain more experiences or delete it entirely.

This quiz was actually so annoying. I lost 6 marks in 3 questions just for errors of 0.0001 😭

Im in 90U and I wanted to order some stuff on amazon. Where would I go to pick it up and is there any info i need to put into the shipping stuff?

Got selected for none of them, i am wondering if there are still hopes because i feel shit about myself for not securing a job this term as well

for context: I was given a second chance by coop office since I couldn't secure mine in last summer term

I've recently been diagnosed with adhd but before now I have never thought about getting academic accommodations. From personal experience (or not), how helpful are they and should I consider it?

Soo what is everyone doing cause I don’t know anyone around me who’s also applying and I don’t know if I’m making the right choices by applying when it opens on the 22nd or should I just wait till I see how I feel near summer and then apply for a date then… I don’t know how quickly spots are gonna be taken up in which spots are more popular than others and I’m just feeling really stressed and loser since I don’t have anybody around me to ask.

As the title says! We continue next school year 🫡
( I’m done ) 🏃‍♀️

I applied to uOttawa for Fall 2027 about three weeks ago, to the Communication and Marketing programs in the French stream. I’m an international student applying as a postsecondary applicant, and I’ve already submitted my university and high school transcripts. My application is currently under evaluation, but I haven’t received an admission decision yet.
For those who have applied to uOttawa, especially international students, how long did it take you to receive a decision after submitting your application and transcripts?

sorry. I ran away but I hope your ok, I just really didnt like your sonic backpack and you were in a very pushable position. sorry again

Hi! Did you personally write the ADM 3333 final with Qian Zhang in Fall 2024 or Fall 2025? Was it multiple choice or a case study? If it was a case study, did you complete it in person during the exam or take it home?

So we are the last year of the BScN collab program between Algonquin College and Uottawa that need to graduate in 2029, for nursing student who fail the course firsr/second year, what happened to you?

has anybody ever written an appeal and had their case accepted? currently involved in one but with the first one i sent it got refused because i didnt have enough proof of how ny mental health was in baad shape. i genuinly dont know what kind of proof they accept because i explained what led to it being so bad but other than my grades there is really nothing i can show as proof. if anybody went through something similar i would love to know if you have any suggestions on what i should do

Has anyone taken this class before and how hard was the midterm 1/10. I feel pretty good, but just wanna make sure I’m on the right track or if there’s anything that surprised u on the midterm pls lmk:)

Planning to take it next sem, wondering how the load is, how the course is structured, is there an exam? Thread for things 1150 Lab!

hi! does anyone know if the midterm on thursday can be done from home, or if we need to go to class?

i joined the class late and missed the first few lectures. i assumed the midterm was going to be in person, but tonight he just posted it as a brightspace quiz. i have another class that did the same thing, but we still need to go to class, so i’m just a bit confused.

thank u!!
