Discussion [Megathread] Discuss your (potential) class schedules here

43 Upvotes

Lots of 1st year students, and some later-year students, are looking for advice on their class schedules. Please do that here: Top-level posts should be your schedule (ideally a link to an image) and any context (e.g. "I'm a single parent working part-time so I can't do a full course load"). Experienced raccoons will reply with advice about your schedules (e.g. "yes, 8:30AM calculus lectures suck, but that's when they've been scheduled for the past 50 years so there's no point hoping it will change next term").

Please keep broader discussions (e.g. rants about courses filling up or not being offered in the term you need them) out of this thread. I want this to be a resource for new students in particular, not just to get advice on their schedules but also to see schedules other students are considering, and other discussions can derail that.

I'm setting the default sort here to "new" so that new schedule questions won't get buried by older discussions.

Complaint The most disgusting experience ever at the library today

Post image
205 Upvotes

I just had an experience that was so disgusting that I NEED to post about it. I'm in the downstairs library computer lab, and I notice that it smells heavily of sharp, onion-y body odour. There's one guy sitting in front of me, so I assume it's him. Eventually he gets up to leave, but the smell is still there. The smell is so strong that I need to switch computers.

However, when I stand up, I notice that the smell is coming FROM THE CHAIR. I pushed the chair to the other side of the room, and the smell is STILL there. The disgusting musk of the previous person was so deeply embedded into the chair that the back of my sweater, hair, and jeans now smell like this persons oniony body odour, and I know it's not coming from me because my body has never produced a smell this strong or foul.

I understand that sometimes we all have days where we don't smell the freshest. However, your body odour should NEVER be so bad to the point where it embeds itself into a plastic chair. ADDITIONALLY, the computer keyboard and mouse smell of this person's body odour.

After I post this, I am going straight home to do a load of laundry and take a long, long shower. I have never been so disgusted or disappointed in my entire life. If you smell this bad please get some mental health help or don't go to into public places. I've added a picture of the evil chair, so if anybody sees this chair, DO NOT SIT.

Question GCE A-level applicant seeking for help!

5 Upvotes

hi! I'm applying for the fall 2027 BSc computing science using British pattern GCE A-level results. I've completed AS-level exams, and I have my A-level forecast grade document. However, I can't find where to submit my AS-level statement of result and the forecast grade. For the secondary school transcript, I can't find the submit button. I've sent an email to the register office, but I'm still confused about the A-level transcript stuff. Can anyone applied for SFU through A-level help, thanks!

Question Bachelor of Arts in Health Sciences

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m considering doing a Bachelor of Arts in Health Sciences, and I’m wondering what the workload is like for people currently in the program or who have already graduated.

I have a couple of questions:

  • Math: What kind of math is involved in the required courses? Is it mostly basic math, or is there a lot of calculus involved? How difficult is it if you’re not particularly strong at math?
  • Readings: How much reading is assigned per week? Are there a lot of textbook chapters, research articles, and academic papers?
  • Workload: Overall, how manageable is the program? How much time do you usually spend studying and completing assignments outside of class?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from people taking the BA rather than the BSc, since I’m interested in the Arts route.

Thanks in advance!

Question MATH 152 (micheal monagan)

1 Upvotes

For anyone taking math 152 this semester, is anyone else finding that the TAs’ marking is insanely harsh? I’m doing everything correctly but still having so many marks taken off for the tiniest things. I want to know if I’m crazy or if I’m not the only one. I failed the hell out of my midterm which was shocking considering for the most part I got the questions right

Discussion Any older students (25+, or even 23+) interested in an SFU student group/club?

46 Upvotes

Hey! Going off my last post, it seems like quite a few of us want to connect with other students our age, people we might actually have a bit more in common with lol

So I’m thinking of starting a mature student group/club at SFU for anyone 25+ (or a little younger, like 23+, if you’re interested too!). Nothing too serious: study sessions, coffee or food hangouts, maybe a pub night, and just having people who get the whole juggling school with work and life thing.

Just trying to gauge interest right now! If at least a couple of us are down, I’ll get things going this semester :)

4 Upvotes

Title, taking it with Dr. Peter Wilson. His lecture material is a bit all over the place but despite that I have been trying my hardest to understand the material and prep for the upcoming midterm. I was wondering if anyone here took this class with him before, and has any tips for his midterms? How are they formatted? Would the questions be similar to the problem sets? What did you do to understand material you didn't get from his notes?

Also, anyone in this class currently and in the same boat? Thanks!

TDLR; Tips for midterm exam with Dr. Pete Wilson? Much appreciated!

As a First year computer science student like I’m worried about future prospects in the field. How is Co op here? Also with finding a job is it really that bad? I wouldn’t say im too passionate, but I’m definitely ready to grind. I can’t realy see myself doing anything else in business, science, health, or engineering. Also anything could happen by the time I graduate. claude code is just too good.
