We wouldn't have survived if this had been a real fire. Please be aware of the fire exits and evacuation routes.

Library hours…

48 Upvotes

It is genuinely insane to me that the libraries open at 8, and even then only meclennan. By 8 many people have already been awake for hours… 8 is a normal time to have breakfast meetings and calls in the business world. I feel like 6am is the BARE MINIMUM and even then we deserve 24 hours during midterms like bruh

I missed classes this week. I was wondering if the professor mentioned the midterm at all, such as grades being released or anything of the sort. Thanks a lot!

Midterm deferral using Telehealth doctors note

11 Upvotes

Hi,

As the title suggests I wanted to ask if anyone had experience using Maple Telehealth for getting a doctors note to defer a midterm. I got home from my midterm today and started feeling cold and soon developed a fever to 38.6C. I ate meds but I still feel cold, dizzy and nauseous after a few hours.

I initially wanted to get a wellness hub appointment tmr morning but with scrolling I found the Telehealth thing and gave it a try. I currently have a doctor's note just stating I have been "medically assessed during a video consultation and is unable to attend school due to a medical condition".

The process was so fast it seemed really unreliable and thus I wanted to ask if anyone had experience using doctor's notes from them for midterm deferral(fyi I am in sciences). As the syllabus states the conditions for deferral being quite serious ones like severely ill etc, I worry that they won't accept it and I might miss my exam.

Thanks inadvance and good luck with exams, pls stay healthy :/

Does anyone else think COMP202 this term is insane?

30 Upvotes

Guys how do you think about Comp202 this term? Because I honestly think it is insane.

The Midterm 1 class average is 59%, with the lowest score being 15%. On top of that, we were required to handwrite docstrings during an exam?
The exam content itself is insane too. For an introductory course that was teaching ⁠’Hello World⁠’ just a month ago, the short answer questions felt impossible unless you already had tons of prior coding experience.

I took COMP 202 in Winter 2026 (The instructor I think is Giulia). The assignments back then were nowhere near this absurd—we even had bonus points available, no docstrings required and I am 100% sure the midterm was way easier than this term’s

The grading on assignments this term is just WTF:
On A1 I lost 10 full points just for using ‘is not’ instead of !=
On A2 I lost another 10 points because my docstring "formatting" wasn't deemed specific enough.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
WTF is going on this term?

Are the profs in Arts going on strike?

I'm not from Quebec and idk how union stuff works here. Where I grew up, profs going on strike would be a huge deal. If Arts profs strike what actually happens to midterms, essays, and finals?? Do TA's run conferences or are they cancelled too? Do deadlines just move or could we lose the term/have to write finals in January?

McGill grading system, any tips?

11 Upvotes

I am a u0 general arts student, and the grades I have been receiving on written assignments are not bad but definitely not great (usually around 80%). In high school I my average was a 95 and I was often told I was very good at writing and good in my humanities classes. I feel like all the feedback I get is usually positive yet somehow the overall grade I get ends up being lower than I’d expect given the feedback, for example having one critique or one note of constructive feedback, I just genuinely am at a loss of what professors in history and English and film analysis type courses expect. Maybe I’m just not used to university grading and maybe I’m way out of my league (I went to a public arts highschool), but I’m hoping to go to grad school and this is super discouraging, does it get better? What types of things can I check for or try to do :/

There was a cat with a collar running around Maass building - around 7. It was going super fast, no chance of catching it. Just in case someone is looking for your cat, it’s around there.

indg200 class attendance

1 Upvotes

i haven't been able to go to a lot of indg200 classes this semester due to time conflicts and personal reasons. however when i did go to class the prof didn't take attendance, but on mycourses it mentions a few times how missing class will harm your grade. i was wondering if anyone knew how she's been taking attendance so far and for how many classes/lectures? thanks
