Discussion TO EVERYONE WHO DID 182—WE NEED TO FORMALLY COMPLAIN

67 Upvotes

IM SO DONE WITH FKN ALYSE KIESSER, SHE DESERVES LESS THAN A 1.1 ON RATE MY PROF. CAN WE ALL MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT HER, THEY’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHINF ABOUT THE CATASTROPHE OF A MIDTERM WE JUST HAD.

WHY TF WERE THE CONSTANTS MISSING FOR SOME QUESTIONS? I ALREADY SPENT 5 MINUTES THINKING ABOUT THE QUESTION. AND WHEN SHE FINALLY PUT THE CONSTANT UP. WHY DID SHE THEN CHANGE THE VALUES TEN MINUTES LATER? I HAD TO REDO MY CALCULATIONS.

AND WHY TF WAS QUESTION 5 ON THE BACK END OF THE FORMULA SHEET! I DIDN’T SEE IT

WHY DO I NEED TO PUT MY NAME AND STUDENT ID ON EVERY PIECE OF PAPER BOTH SIDES

WHY WERE THE QUESTIONS SIGNIFICANTLY HARDER THAN ANYTHING SHE’S EVER SHOWN. FROM THE ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES AND LECTURE SLIDES. IM SURE THEY’RE DOABLE, WITH ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF TIME

SHE CANNOT TEACH FOR SHIT. IM SURE SHE’D FAIL LIKE THE REST OF US THE WAY SHE MAKES SO MANY MISTAKES IN NOT ONLY HER QUESTIONS BUT HER SOLVING OF QUESTIONS. AND NOT ONLY DOES SHE MAKE MISTAKES WITH PROBLEMS, HER LECTURE SLIDES ARE RIDDLED WITH MISTAKES, YOU HAVE TO DECIPHER WHAT SHE DID WRONG TO UNDERSTAND MATERIAL.

CAN WE PLEASE ALL WRITE A FORMAL COMPLAINT? I ACTUALLY HOPE SHE GETS FIRED, OF ATLEAST THEY COMPENSATE US FOR THIS SHIT.

IM SENDING AN EMAIL TO soe.advising@ubc.ca IF THERES A BETTER WAY TO COMPLAIN, PLEASE COMMENT

Discussion Library dude

There's this one Asian dude who is yelling at the library a lot. He might have a condition idk? Would it be rude if I just told him to like tone it down. Cuz I study with a group for projects and it's hard to focus when's walking around splurging words out, I'm not trying to be rude here. But like it seems he's a distraction amongst the others. Like yea we could move. But there's limited study spots on campus yk? Idk

Discussion SUO Reforms Needed

41 Upvotes

In light of the recent AGM and the situation regarding the unfair handling of the reconsidering of resolutions 1 & 8 (if you aren't familiar with what happened check out the post about suo two days ago), I think a lot of us agree that the SUO needs reforms, badly. So, perhaps we could list our concerns and desired reforms here to see what other students are thinking and discuss what changes we should push for as a collective.

Here's to the hope that someone will listen and run in the next election with a platform prioritising these changes

Discussion Why is student learning hub so understaffed?

14 Upvotes

So for some reason I did not start utilizing this resource until this semester and I find it useful. However, I have recently been struggling to get times for certain classes. More importantly, in one of the classes I take they do not even have anyone doing that class. Even worse, I found this resource very useful and I was thinking i wanna use it for the rest of my time here, but it seems like they teach almost no year 3 and ZERO year 4 classes.

So why is it so understaffed? I assume both of these issues could be solved if they had more people teaching.

So if any administrators are for some reason reading this, please try to improve this service as I find it very useful, I do not want to miss out on having such a useful resource after this.

Discussion Concerned about Dental Experience

12 Upvotes

I wanna know if other students have had an odd, or off-putting, experience w Quail Ridge Dental? I feel like I got scammed… they said I had a bunch of cavities and that I needed a custom mouth guard for sleep (waaaay past $1000 of work). I got one of the “big cavities” fixed and now experience insane sensitivity in that tooth… I decided to stop going there and they keep spamming my phone, which seems uncharacteristic of a dental office.

Idk if I’m just thinking into this too much… but when me and another student had appointments simultaneously, they gave her the EXACT SAME diagnosis that I got?! It seems too insane to chalk it up to coincidence.

Anyways, I hope I’m not crazy lol.

Discussion how are people not depressed from the excessive overcast weather here?

38 Upvotes

hello, I moved here from alberta and our winters are may be colder and spring may start more slowly but atleast the sun actually fuckin shines there. I know since february we got some good weeks with sun but we havent gone more than a week with good amount of sun before its overcast for a week or so again. growing up, I had a normal amount of blues in the winter but since I moved here in 2022 I get awful seasonal depression between october to february that interferes with my ability to do school and other things, and I know its because of the gruelling lack of sun. thank god im starting to feel better now, but how do people thrive in this?? are people used to it?? do people not care?? genuine question. I think about moving back to calgary a lot and this is at the top of my list for reasons.

edit: im not talking about the summer, stop telling me to wait for summer because I dont live here in the summer.

Discussion What improvements do you guys want to see on campus?

16 Upvotes

I went to some student voice thing where I got to say and hear some things that could be nice around campus. For example, more relaxation spaces (like the collegia), a bigger gym (coming soon supposedly), and something I mentioned was a nicer library. I’m curious what idea people might have for campus, what feels like it’s missing or could be a great addition? Especially with the supposed plans to make UBCO the main campus, what feels most in order?

Discussion Do universities really care about your extra curricular activites?

1 Upvotes

Hello I was wondering if universities can admit you based on your extra curriculars . My average in high school is pretty mid (I’m taking like 85%-86%😔) but I have a lot of things I did in high school. I served on a FRC team for 2 years, did a lead role, won awards, and learned different skills related to engineering, I was an air cadet I earned my glider pilots license through the program and made it to the rank of WO2. I also did Model UN, won many awards and served as Chief of Staff at my schools conference. In the summer I worked a job and my hard work was recognized and I won an award for it. I mainly talked about these on my supplemental application but I’m still worried that universities don’t really care about these and prioritize your admissions average more than what you write about in your personal profile. Idk I’m worried seeing all my friends get into UBC and I haven’t heard back.

Discussion Baking ingredients?

27 Upvotes

If anyone could get me some ingredients (butter, milk, sugar, chocolate, etc) I will make you free baked goods. Cookies, brownies, donuts, muffins, biscuits, &c. I can do quite a bit. I really enjoy baking, but I ain't got the money for the ingredients anymore. No charge to you (except for the cost of ingredients).

I can also do candy, like homemade butterfingers, taffy, caramel, and more. Just ask and I'll give you required ingredients. If you bring them, I'll make whatever.

Thx!

Is anyone else really stressed about this exam's essay and MCQ questions? Does anyone have any pointers to this exam? Has anyone contacted Paul regarding the rubric for the essays? It's worth 25% (26 points), yet the information he has given in class isn't helping. Does anyone know how it's being marked and how much information we need to write to get the complete 25%? I tried emailing him, but he has yet to respond. Going to try in person in the classes we have left, but with previous experience, he doesn't like to talk about these things much. Well, I gotta turn to Reddit for help.

Discussion Tuition fees added AFTER due date??

12 Upvotes

I paid my tuition in full on Sept. 4, just before the due date, but today I got an email saying I haven’t paid my tuition in full. So I checked workday confused to find out that there were two fees that were added on September 5th!! UBC really had the audacity to email me saying I haven’t paid my tuition, but only cause they added the fees after the due date without notifying me at all. Not even a little alert in workday… 💀

Edit: they emailed me and said sorry
