Is anyone taking this class right now? What are your experiences in this class so far? Am I the only one who isn’t understanding how the discussions are being graded?

Hey guys I’m an exchange student coming to SFU next year spring (all the way from Australia)!
I was wondering how accessible skiing was as a student in Vancouver (with no car ofc)? Is it doable to just go skiing like casually on a random weekend or smth, is that a thing? Or should I be booking in advance?
I know you guys also have a ski club - do they organise skiing events throughout the semester or just over holidays, or how does that work?
Thanks guysss

I am on my second semester and i failed a course in my first sem that i am retaking now. And i still can’t improve on it. The first midterm went terribly despite studying for days
I have no idea whats wrong with me. I just lay in bed for hours and I cant get up. I am always scrolling on my phone or watching youtube or literally just laying in bed doing nothing. I skip meals because i am so addicted to scrolling. I have a pretty fulfilling life and i am not depressed or anything so i just can not figure out why. Is it just laziness?
But I just cant seem to get up. I miss deadlines frequently despite setting up alarms. It feels like i can not do anything with my life. I have become so stupid. I seem to be forgetting everything and can never focus on one thing. My GPA is 2.0 even though I am still in my first year. How do i get out of this? Is it possible for me to recover?

Hey! I am participating in an experimental design competition, and need to source some planarian worms, specifically Dugesia tigrina, within vancouver in the next few days. If anyone knows any grad students or professors actively experimenting with planaria within SFU or UBC please let us know, its urgent and very cool stuff we're doing...🙏

Hoping anyone who’s taken this course could share a bit about what it’s actually like? Course description is kind of vague, and I’m especially wondering what the labs would be like.

Anybody who took 380 with Atousa remember what was on the first midterm or best way to prepare?

I'm a langara student and am wanting to transfer to SFU for Biology and psychology, I already started in Psych but I am also wanting to persue Biology in hopes to get into medschool ngl. Is it possible to Dual degree in both because I don't see that on the website when I look at joint degrees. I'm wondering if it's just better to go to UBC instead (I'd rather do SFU ya'll seem cool even tho the commute might fry me)

Can anyone tell me how attendance works at SFU, Burnaby campus? Does the prof check attendance or is it kinda lax?
r/simonfraser • u/LordTriffidid • 9h ago
Any other students wondering why one of the most left-leaning areas of the world is now being governed by actual, literal pro-Trump fascists & separatists? Are you a member of a vulnerable minority, like me, who is scared to death & angry at the idea of having your rights & supports stripped away?
We clearly have a broken electoral system, & we need to force politicians to give in to our desire for a proportional representation system. Because people in power never voluntarily give up power. We must take it by force. That is how democracy is won. We tried asking nicely, & doing this through conventional channels. It didn't work. So now it's time to take it to the streets, & to shut this province down until we have our demand for PR met.
And while we are at it, I believe we should demand more: we should demand a new retro-active law that requires that at least 50% of voters vote in an election in order for it to be certifiable. If an election does not meet the 50% threshold for voter turn-out, then the election results are rejected, & a new election is called & set at three months from the date of the day of the failed election.
In making this new law retroactive, we can force the rejection of the last election, & have a new vote that will be based on PR.
Just putting it out there.
If you are a student, & think this is a good idea, then please steal it, & go pass it along to the student organizations on campus that you frequent.

I did pretty poorly on the first midterm only getting 15/25 which is lower than the average which was 16. Does Charles walsby scale the class or does he use the standard stu grading: A+ is 95%+, A is 90% etc.
r/simonfraser • u/Public-Tomatillo-880 • 19h ago
anyone else feel that they marked the essay portion way too harsh or just me 😭

What are the main differences between math 232 and math 240? which one would be better for economics majors?
I’ve heard the prof for 232 is great, the prof for 240 is also great as I’ve taken calc I with her before

Hey guys i need help im in a crisis.
I have become very sick over these last few days and unfortunately i have a midterm for math 154 on wednesday.
I have aches, headaches, fever and fatigue along with shivering.
I have email my professor explaining that i am sick so im wondering he gives me the benefit of the doubt and lets me skip and take it another day. If not it will be added to my final which will then be worth 50% of my grade.
So do i take the exam with zero knowledge of the material or have it added to my final and hope to do better on it. im really not sure guys
Help me i beg!!

Mark my words... I bombed the first midterm BUT im going to reply back after Wednesday and share my experience handling (or being handled) by the second midterm. I will succeed. Manifesting a 90 to replace how poorly i did on the first midterm.. haha ok thanks for reading.

We're given a cheat sheet to write stuff down but I was wondering what you guys are putting down. I feel like I haven't really studied that much and I don't just wanna copy everything word for word on the slides or the practice problems.
Also curious on how much space you are allocating to chapters 14,15, and 16.

Hello everyone! I am a staff writer at The Peak, and I'm doing a news piece on ICBC's new road test rule for N drivers. I'm looking to interview 3 students (who are not a part of The Peak) to hear their perspective on the update. If anyone knows someone they could send my way, please do! I need at least 1-2 who haven't started the process or are part of their way through (have their L or N) and a student with a full license who has experience on the road
Thank you!
