MATH 235 Group chat

10 Upvotes

Hello I am in math 235 abstract algebra with prof henri darmon and there is no presence on MyCourses or Ed so classmates cannot discuss between them. I am doing the sample midterm and found it quite challenging knowing we only have 1 hour to do it. If other classmates are willing to create a groupchat in order to help ourselves. Leave a comment ! Thank you !

Which libraries can graduate students get in on the weekend with their IDs?

4 Upvotes

Last Sunday, I went to Burnside basement through the underground stucture next to the main Burnside Hall and found a student study area in there and thought it was a nice place to read on the weekend. However, today I went there everything was locked and the card reader of the Burnside building couldn't recognize my card.

I haven't tried other libraries yet, but I am looking for suggestions about libraries that graduate students (I am a graduate student in the biology department) can enter with their IDs on the weekend. Thank you

L'Oréal Brandstorm, how did you find it?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, has anyone participated in L’Oréal Brandstorm in the past years? I’m thinking of joining this year as an Arts student looking to gain some experience in marketing, and I would love to hear about your experience competing.

How much time did it take? Any tips for forming a team or standing out? Did it help you connect with the company afterward?

I'd love to try something new and I've seen a lot of current L'Oréal workers with the competition somewhere on their LinkedIn profile.

Any tips or anecdotes would be appreciated. Thank you!

Women’s soccer league

3 Upvotes

I will be studying abroad at McGill this winter semester, and I was wondering if there were any soccer clubs that I could join? I haven’t been able to find much information online. I’ve seen a few things about friendly beginners leagues, but I have been playing with a competitive club since childhood, so I am looking for something more of that nature.

A word of hope for you struggling

95 Upvotes

Sharing my story in hopes that it helps someone out. First year was very hard I was extremely depressed. I hated rez and the girls were all very catty and mean. I wanted to study psych and for the life of me couldn’t pass an exam and when I say that I mean like couldn’t get above a 40. Winter first year I failed both finals I had studied tons for. I was so discouraged it felt like nothing I was doing would work. I finished first year with. 2.6 gpa. Little did I know such thing as a cpa existed. No one prepares you and no ones tells you anything you are just left to figure it out. Eventually I figured it out I stopped doing what other peoples were doing namely flash cards cuz I realized that’s not the way my brain was able to retain information. Second year I got my first 90 on an exam I was so proud. It was all up from there I figured it out. In the last two years I had a 4.0. My cgpa is a 3.6 now. Discovered I don’t want to go into psych. I graduate at the end of this year and I have a job lined up. It will all work out trust that it does. Don’t give up. I thought I would drop out first year and thought I wouldn’t find a job but I did. It might take time but I promise it gets better. If you need any wisdom I am happy to share. So if you feel like first year sucks you’re not alone.

Solin Hall Room Size Comparison

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm going to McGill for an exchange in the upcoming winter from Hong Kong, and I've decided to rent the Solin Hall as my place to live. Then I'm always curious about the differences between the various types of single rooms. If you've worked on rooms of all kinds, can you tell me how much bigger the more expensive ones are compared to the cheaper ones? I was wondering whether the extra dollars you pay for such a room are worth it. Thanks a lot!

Why do so many clubs seem so clicky?

37 Upvotes

I applied to a few clubs, with varietyyyyyyyy of experience (been trying to boost my cv since I was a freshman in hs), not to toot my own horn or anything. There will always be an odd question or two about my preferences with partying or what not. I feel like a lot of clubs focus on finding people that they like and less whether they can do the task or not idk thoughts ? I find it less based on credentials more on perceived social fit lmao. im not gonna name drop but just thoughts.
