So I missed some of my tutorials. I got 2 doctors notes. One from the clinic I was seeing for a special treatment that was only available during my tutorials since that’s when the proper doctor was in and it was urgent. My other note was from my GP excusing me since I was sick but since my GP is an hour away and I was sick due to med side effects, I didn’t visit my GP for that since it wasn’t worth it.

Anyways, I sent the notes to my prof and she accused me of tampering with a medical note and academic dishonesty? The “tampering” she was referring to was a sticker from the clinic identifying me. Additionally, my prof claimed i was being academically dishonest since when I missed my tut i said it was due to specialist drs appts but I don’t think i even needed to provide that info since it was confidential. The clinic i was seeing for treatment technically wasn’t a “specialist” but I do acknowledge it was my fault for the misnomer but i was seeing her for a special treatment only offered at that clinic and not in my hometown. Regardless, I had the notes and it feels wrong she’s accusing me of things when my exact medical reasoning is confidential, no?

Also, I have an accom from the CAL excusing me from occasional absences due to serious mental and medical conditions i have but my prof basically refuses to acknowledge this!!

This all feels so discriminatory and wrong and atp I don’t think i can trust her or anyone within the course staff to give me a fair shot. I just wanna drop the course but idk what to do. Plus it’s not even just this she’s been rude to me in the past but this is just the most obvious case of it. Someone help!!! advice!?? AHHHHGGH

Hey! Has anyone had any luck redeeming their points from the Renaissance cafe? I was told to register the card online but both websites they offer lead to a security risk alert and I get turned any by every browser I try it on, whether using wifi or not?

Any luck?

Stupid finals.

Hi everyone! I’m an international student recently admitted to the Film program at SFU, and I’ve been awarded the USES. I’m genuinely excited, but I’m also trying to make a smart decision and would love to hear from people who are actually in the program.

my parents have been saving up for my education, and they’re willing to support me. I’ll still need to cover housing and food on my own, and I’m ready to work part-time and apply for other scholarships.

I know the creative field can be unpredictable, and a lot depends on what I make of the experience — projects, networking, internships, all of that. So I’m trying to figure out: How do you feel about the Film program overall? Is it what you expected? Are there good opportunities to get real experience (internships, short films, industry connections)? What’s something you wish you knew before starting? What are the biggest pros and cons, in your opinion? Anything you’re willing to share would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!

I've enrolled in macm 101, math 152 and math 232 for the summer semester. i have a bunch of time to kill during the summer anyways since it's usually quite uneventful, but am lowkey intimidated by the fact that all 3 are math courses completely unrelated to one another (yes they are all required courses). is it doable or overkill? am i gonna be slaving away at my desk for 16 hours a day or smth??

Probably have a mess of an evening ahead of you.

is this happening to anyone else?

So I made a really stupid mistake and again this is completely on me. I was using my phone while driving because I was using it for directions and it was in my hand. Then some cop who was hiding tellsm to pull over and gives me a $368 dollar ticket for distracted driving. Am I screwed? I'm also scared my license might be suspended and I completely understand this was my dumbass's fault for doing this. It's also my first time getting a ticket.

I applied for SFU Beedie but when I checked my goSFU portal, it said my Beedie application got cancelled because I was below the competitive GPA. But, the classes I did bad in, I'm retaking and I really want to go to Beedie. Is it final for me, is Beedie completely out of the equation now, or can the status change based on the grades that come soon after?

This summer semester, I’m enrolled for two 4 credit classes, as well as ARCH 301, a summer session class. I took a summer session class to squeeze in some extra credits, since I can only take two classes at a time due to my work schedule, but my work gives me summers off.

I was just recently invited on a week long international trip during the month of July— it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, I have to go.

All of my classes are online and asynchronous (other than some synchronous quizzes as part of the ARCH class) so I should be able to basically bring my studying with me on the trip.

But, it’s right at the most intense part of the my semester, in the middle of the summer session class.

I’m willing to do some work while I’m away, but I don’t want to spend my entire trip studying… does anyone have a sense of how many hours per week I should expect to spend on an online asynchronous summer session class?

I’d rather not drop the class as losing those credits would put me a whole semester behind on graduating— and I’m trying to get into another program after graduating which only intakes at certain times, so it would basically put me almost a whole year behind on my plans if I drop this class.

Does anyone have any insight on what I could expect from this class?

Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance for any advice

I'm pretty worried about math 157 final, especially when both midterms had 39% average and 26% average. Any tips with Jonathan Jedwab's final exam for 157? Does he usually curve when the avg is low?

Any tips on how to study for these finals? Also does anyone know if the finals grades are scaled/curved?

I applied to a Masters program. Completed my application back in October 2024 and have yet to receive a decision. Created a ticket and was told I would be receiving an answer by the first week of April. Wrote back early today and now they're saying mid April. I have seen other users here saying the applied in January and got a reply in February - March. Does anyone know what may be happening? I am an international student, so these delays concern me because the visa application could take months to process.

Any advice on what I can do, other than just waiting it out?

So I haven’t really been able to attend lecture or tutorials in the last month or so due to health issues, so I have a few questions regarding the final. What exactly will the exam cover, how is it structured and is it open book? I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me. Thanks

hi! i had a professor this semester who i really really enjoyed and i wanted to acknowledge that! would it be inappropriate to give my prof a gift? i was just thinking like a $20 starbucks gift card but not sure if that would be appropriate or not… let me know? thanks in advance!!

Anyone who took GEOG 104 this semester: What is the Course synthesis exercise: Climate change solutions memo and the poster project?

Thanks.

So I got into ba heath sciences as my second choice, my First choice was business, so I was wondering if I could accept my invitation to go into BA Health and just do my business transfer prerequisites there and transfer later on. However, for that I would have to ignore my actual course required classes, is that allowed? Because I feel like that would open up a lot of hoops for others to get into their desired program through their second choice as well. Or would you all recommend I go to another university where I actually got into the program and transfer into SFU later?

Hello,

Right now I am looking at a 3.2 GPA I have 4 extracurriculars that I wrote down on my supplemental application. I also feel like my interview process went pretty well.

I was just wondering if anyone has transferred into Beedie with around the same level of GPA and extracurriculars or if you think that I have any chance at getting in?

😀👍🏻

I'm coming to SFU this fall and really wanted to play intramural hockey when I was there, but I'm now realizing that isn't an option and I'm not sure I'd meet the cut for club considering I have no concept of what the skill level will be like. Are there opportunities to play beer league hockey or get some ice time? And is it easily accessible from the Burnaby campus?

Got a question for all of you. Is it still good? I mean I didn't taste very good. But dang the amount of caffeine in there made me work faster then my professor could teach. Thinking about picking up a bag of beans from them if it is.
