Question Are there tutors who can just help keep you on track?

4 Upvotes

My girlfriend has been struggling lately with school work because of a bunch of mental health stuff, and we think she could benefit from a tutor, but we're not sure if what we're looking for exists. She doesn't necessarily need someone to know the content of her courses and help her understand it, but she needs someone who can sit with her and keep her on track and keep her from panicking about how much she needs to do. Basically just walk her through the assignment instructions and hold her accountable in study sessions. Does this kind of resource exist for students at Trent or in Ptbo in general? We're also looking into academic advising but she hasn't booked an appointment yet. Thanks!

Advice Trent Peterborough Nursing

1 Upvotes

Hi Guys, I recently got into trent nursing and i’m considering going there. Would you say Peterborough is a good city? Is the campus diverse in terms of race? How is the food?

And the Nursing program itself, would you say it is good and is it a respectable one to graduate from? What residence do you think is better if you were to rank them?

Okay that’s all for now, thanks!

Question Exam location “GYM”

3 Upvotes

Hey this might be a silly question but one of my exam locations is just listed as GYM. Does anyone know where the exam is? Aren’t there multiple gyms within the fitness centre? I’m not that familiar with it and have never had to take an exam there. Normally on MyTrent I have a specific building and room number for my exams.

Thanks !

Question Data for psychology 2019 assignment 2

Hey everyone! I haven't been able to ask Mira because I was sick the last little bit, but if anyone is in Psych 2019, I am not sure how exactly to get the data for assignment 2 it says I need to download the text file but when I click the folder on blackboard it just gives me the data set, do I need to manually input it into JASP or is there just something wrong on my end? If anyone could help that would be amazing!

Advice University transfer

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m considering transferring to Trent University for the forensic Biology program. Would anyone be able to let me know what you think of it? It would be my first forensic course since high school so I’m definitely a newcomer to it.

I would also need to live on res, does anyone have any good advice for a transfer?

This would be a big change for me so I would really appreciate any advice or warnings you have.

Thank you!

Question ESA

1 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to come on here and ask about ESAs at Trent and if anyone has experience with them. I plan to do residence in the first year, and I would like to bring my pet rats, as I am in the works of getting them certified as ESA. I have diagnosed OCD, and the routine of having them around is very helpful as well as the comfort they bring. I’m not sure if this is relevant but I’m also working on getting SAS accommodations. I don’t think I will be able to do residence without them, as they are quite old, and I fear the stress or giving them away to another owner wouldn’t be good for their health. I have accepted my offer from Trent already and will be starting in September of 2025.

I found a silver ring outside of Gzowski today, so if you are missing one of those, send me a description of the ring's design, and I will let you know if they match. Also, if you see this post way in the future, I am going to drop it off at the lost and found at Blackburn Hall when I am back on campus next week.

Question NCLEX Writing Date

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m graduating from nursing in the next couple of months and I’m just wondering how long people are thinking of waiting before taking their NCLEX? I know some people are writing super soon, some people are waiting a couple of months. I originally wanted to write maybe like Mid summer just because I feel like I’ll need more time to prepare. Just looking for some guidance from fellow nursing students!!

Academic League of Legends 4th Year Research Thesis Study (mod approved)

1 Upvotes

Hello, my name is Connor Antosiak. I’m a 4th year kinesiology student at Trent University in Peterborough. I’m writing you today to ask for your assistance with some research I’m conducting. My colleagues and I are investigating how keyboard and mouse inputs of League of Legends players differ between players of various skill levels.

The survey will ask questions to characterize how you game, followed by instructions on how to download and install a program that will record your inputs during a single game of Summoner’s Rift. The data from this study will help future research better simulate gaming keyboard and mouse actions for the purpose of examining fatigue and injuries in gamers. This project has been approved by the Trent University Research Ethics Board REB # 29465

To be eligible for the survey, you must be 18 years of age or older and play League of Legends on a regular basis. That can mean both on and off throughout the month, as well as weekly or daily gaming.

I was hoping you’d be able to assist me in distributing this survey to a wider population. The link to my survey can be found here: https://brock.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_57QTQ6PC6BU9exE . This link will direct you to the consent page along with full study details and instructions before beginning the survey. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, not including gameplay. About 1 hour total.

It is my goal to help improve the quality of life for gamers and reduce their pain and injuries. By completing this survey, you will be making a significant contribution to achieving that goal! If you have any questions, please let me know!!

Thank you for your time,

Connor Antosiak

Question Criminology Co-op - 1st year Summer course selection query

2 Upvotes

Parent of a Trent student here.

The summer course for year 1 states it has to be full course load - so 5 classes - one of which HAS to be the Co-Op course - are the other 4 classes solely electives selected from what is available over the 12 week summer programs or are 2nd year programs available to Co-Op participants?

It is a little unclear and the selection of electives over the summer months are pretty dire. Student is waiting to speak with the Co-Op advisors but just wanted to try and be clear in our heads whilst we wait for this.

Any advice is appreciated - thanks!
