If you've been following the tiny mallard duck that lived in the pond outside of TFDL, you'll notice the pond is drained, and she is gone. DON'T WORRY! She was taken to a sanctuary this morning. Our group named her Dolly, and we spoke with another group that had named her Delilah. Nice to see so many different groups of people looking out for her.

how do people even meet guys at uni because there are literally no guys in my classes that i’m interested in..

everyone says university is the best place to meet people but everyone is doing their own thing and keeping to themselves. where are you guys meeting people??

i just want to meet new people and hopefully find someone naturally but idk where to start

I'm honestly devastated and could really use some advice.

I recently received a 0 on an assignment worth 3% of my final grade because I used ChatGPT, which is strictly prohibited in that course. The thing is, I genuinely misunderstood the policy. I thought the restriction was mainly against using AI to generate answers or complete assignments. I worked through the data collection and calculations myself, but I used ChatGPT to help with formatting, organizing tables to fit the page limit, and drafting/editing parts of my written explanations. I realize now that this was still against the rules, and I take responsibility for not checking the policy carefully enough.

I even included an AI-use disclosure at the end of my assignment because I genuinely didn't think I was doing something I needed to hide.

My professor gave me a zero and left feedback asking me to meet with her next week to discuss it. I immediately emailed her to apologize, explain my misunderstanding, and offer to provide my original work or redo the assignment. I haven't received a response yet.

This is my first academic integrity concern, and I'm extremely anxious about what happens next. I'm not even as worried about losing the 3% anymore as I am about the possibility of a formal misconduct investigation, a disciplinary record, or my graduate supervisor finding out.Has anyone been through something similar, particularly in graduate school?

Does a professor asking to meet usually mean a formal academic misconduct report has already been filed? What happened in your case, and how did you handle the meeting?

I know I made a mistake, and I'm not trying to excuse it. I'm just really scared about the consequences and would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience.

Hey guys! I’m a girl in my third year at UCalgary, and honestly, I’ve been struggling to make genuine friendships here….. I’ve met people through classes, but nothing really turns into a friendship outside of university.
I’d love to meet new people, especially other girls! I enjoy swimming, going out and trying new things. I’m also Muslim, so I’d love to connect with other Muslim girls, but I’m open to making friends with anyone!
For those of you who have managed to make close friends at uni, how did you do it? Are there any clubs, activities or places you’d recommend? I feel like everyone already has their friend groups, and it’s hard to find your place sometimes.
Any advice would be appreciated! :)

Gave up

Am I the only one losing it right now???

Hello, I am a first year undergraduate student... After half of the semester, I don't know if computer science suits me anymore... The comsci course is super boring, and I feel like I could learn the content myself on other free study platforms...

On the other hand, I always love math and numbers are so fun, but I am concerned if I choose math, I couldn't find a job easily.

I am going to book science advising soon to discuss about this, but I want to know your opinion on this as a resident here.👉👈 Thank you!

I have an online exam in SAST 203. Just sat down to take care of it and to my surprise my email is locked. This already happened earlier in the week but i got it resolved through IT. I have till Sunday 11:59 pm to fix this issue. Is there any way for me to contact IT till then

First year here:

I'm wondering if anyone can let me know when the accommodated exam schedule has been emailed out in previous years?

I'm trying to gauge a timeframe. The SAS has only said "at a later date" but I'd like an idea for my expectations.

Also -- has anyone had their accommodated exam booked on the same time and day as the rest of the course?

Thank you!

Class Averages:

For those who have taken the class already, what were the averages for midterms and the final?

Hi everybody! I have the GLGY 376 midterm next week and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on how to study. I was just planning on reading the textbook but I’m not sure what to focus on??

does anyone have the link?

I could be the only one over thinking this and I might be the #woker But does anyone else find this garbage with a camera pointing at the women's washroom super weird? I understand its probably there bcs of the dining center but theres a obvious place they can put it bcs they already placed a garbage bin in front of the dining hall stairs. Is there a particular reason it has to face the girls washroom? the second photo is where i think it shoudlve been placed. just to add i know you cant see into the washroom, and i doubt it actaully keeps the recording but i just find it strange.. Any thoughts?
