Saw them there a couple minutes ago, steer clear if you don't want to see their photos. If someone manages to bug them so badly they leave I'm sure we'd all be better off

Question library cleaning

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know how often the libraries at Queen's University are cleaned?

I'm particularly interested in Stauffer Library. Does anyone know the regular cleaning schedule, such as which days and times the floors, desks, and study areas are cleaned?

Discussion Exam Flagged

8 Upvotes

This is my second year of online evaluations and my exams keep getting flagged for “not following instructions”. I know it’s a warning and they don’t actually do anything but it’s just very frustrating when you DO follow pre scan and post exam instructions (rip up paper on camera) at this point I’m gonna accept it as standard to get one of these emails after every exam.

The other thing that frustrates me is proctor u always wants your pre scan done then you have to LOGIN using your Authenticator which is my phone which prompts me to have to do a full pre scan all over again once I put my phone in another room.

Just my gripe of the day.

Discussion Library Hours

How come Queens has such limited library hours?

Has it always been this way?

In the middle of exam season and finding it kind of hard to believe that any good study spot will kick you out at ~10/11pm.

Community Looking for Queer Christians at Queen's

0 Upvotes

Heyyy, I am the incredible combo of lesbian and Christian. It works for me, and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all :) Anyway, I'm trying to find anyone who is also both Queer and Christian because I know you exist somewhere, and I would love to find some like-minded community.

Discussion This is so lonely

22 Upvotes

My mental health has gone to shit since the school started. I was doing well before that, I am finding it so hard to make connections and friends in this town and at school.

I am active where I can be but afraid before I try and make a comment or compliment in fears if it will be seen not friendly. And I cant connect with people either.

Just want some friends and local connections, maybe more. Like I am just tired of putting myself out there and trying to find someone to chill or hangout with.

I just want to be with someone I can go out, have fun, walks, gym or events or anything plus like maybe more, I am just genuinely craving a human connection and more.

Idk what it is at this point. I am just stuck and feel helpless.

Like I am neurodivergent and have just things I wanna do and explore and more also on the kink side, I am bi and I am attracted to both sides but also trans folks that are fem and I still can’t just find friends or connections.

I want to come home to cuddle and chat and like honestly doesn’t have to be regular like could just be something a couple times a week. Idk I hope this is not a turn off.

I'm on the waitlist for a course for Winter Term, but my position on it has not changed since August. Does this mean I'm likely not going to get it. For context, it's a mandatory course for another program, and I am second on the waitlsit.

Question CHEM 281 Midtern

5 Upvotes

Hello! I've been studying for the midterm and was doing the midterms posted on OnQ but like the questions on it I feel are not similar to the ones in the textbook and assignments which I am also practicing.

So I am just wondering what the best resources are to practice because the provided midterms are like 10 years old and I don't know if the actual midterm will look like this.

Thank you in advance :)

Discussion Prof gave low mark without feedback and won’t respond to emails

5 Upvotes

On my first discussion post, I got full marks, then on my second one I got 70%, without doing anything differently. My prof didn’t provide any feedback except for “great work”. I’ve talked to other people in my class and they agree that this prof seems to just be giving people random marks due to laziness. I have reached out to them via email to request more feedback but have not heard back. What should my next step be?
