worth asking for a grade bump?

Im in CA149 and I just got my final grade back and its an 89.25, the min threshold for an A is a 90

For the final project i was given a 25.25/30 (needed a 26/30 for that A)

I was given a 0.75/1 for evidence of a screenshot showing all the layers to my final project on this software we have to use

My screenshot shows every single layer in detail and there is nothing missing whatsoever, I know its my word against theirs but there is literally no other component to screenshot

Im just wondering if anyone has experience with asking to bump up 0.75% of a grade and should I email the TA or the prof? Thank you!

worried abt late enrolment

My enrolment date is on the 21st of July and i'm really nervous i won't get the classes required for my major, i'm about to be a 2nd year and the two classes I need for my major have 60 seats and 80 seats respectively.

If I get waitlisted and I don't get in, is there absolutely anything I can do? I really don't want to just take a semester full of electives, it feels like a waste and I need to complete those two classes so I can get access to upper division courses

For anyone whos already had the dread of 2nd year enrolment, did you mostly get the classes you wanted in terms of major-specific ones?

Hey, the midterm is in like a day or two, just wondering from anyone who has taken it in the past, what are some topics i should focus on studying, is it reading specific or is it more focused on different concepts we learn in this class? such as like recording, types of soundscapes, etc.

thanks!

Superstore false hiring?

Sorry if the title is misleading but i'm not sure how else to word this. To start, i'm a 17yo female who's just looking for a part time job for the summer, potentially even after the summer when the fall starts just in time for university.

I was shopping in my local superstore for some groceries and i heard over their radio announcements thing about something regarding them hiring and that if you are interested, just go to the front desk (customer service) and ask for a hiring manager/drop off a resume. While i didn't have my resume at the time, I dropped my groceries off at home and went back after printing a copy of my resume + availability (I live like 7-ish mins away!)

So on to the main part, first of all, i've already worked like 1 year in retail so I understand that sometimes retail workers are not having a good day, but the lady helping me was absolutely horrible, I nicely went to the customer service desk, greeted her, asked how shes doing, and asked if I could drop off my resume. Before I could even finish the word 'resume' she immediately said NO! we are not hiring, she then looks behind me, and asked the person behind what he wants, NOT what he needs help with, how he's doing, what he WANTS.

Honestly, while that behaviour was crazy rude, I was more confused about how the overhead mentioned they were hiring when she said they weren't. It then occurred to me that it's likely for all locations, so I checked on linkedin, indeed, and ofc the loblaws website to confirm while I was walking back to the bus stop. Low and behold, there was indeed a position open at their store, actually two, a cashier and a personal shopper.

I obviously am letting this go because literally what would I do to gain from this lmfao, but what would yall do in this situation, ofc in a way ig i avoided a red flag if I ever had to work with that woman... but at the same time, isn't this false advertising in a way? or more like someone driving out potential applicants (perhaps they don't want their hours cut i really don't know). I do apologize if this is more of a rant, it honestly is haha I was just a bit distraught as I've never been talked to in that way by a literal employee, someone who should be welcoming and kind.

Job Interview thru Hirevue

Does anyone have information regarding what kind of questions they ask? I was invited to do the Hirevue interview (the one in which they ask prerecorded questions and you answer them). It was mentioned on the email that this is their final interview so once this is done, they likely just decide based on vibes + answers and will send out an offer/rejection.

thanks in advance for any tips or advice or answers given lmao

Best place to buy a bike at a good price point?

Hi! I'm looking to buy a bike for the summer to get a bit of exercise in, plus I love biking in general! I know I can go on marketplace, and I have trust me, I've even met up with 2-3 people. Idk if its just my luck but when I go and see the bike, I immediately notice some faults that weren't mentioned in the listing and so on. My budget is a bit tight, sitting at around $75 max. If anyone knows of any good bike stores that are affordable, especially used bikes, that would be awesome!

for reference, im around 5'2 so I don't need a super big bike either!

edit: I'm noticing that $75 is apparently not a decent budget, what would you guys recommend as a budget for a bike? I'm a highschool student w no job (love our job market! :/) so i'd probably be saving up in the summer ig

Renfrew, C. P. Bahn, E. DeMarrias. 2024. Archaeology Essentials: Theories, Methods, and Practice. 5th edition. Thames & Hudson, London.

Thanks!!

edit: for anyone that took this course online, if yall didnt get the 5th ed, does the 4th edition do the job? I keep finding the 4th ed online but not the newest one.

Niche question to someone who works at JD sports in Van

this is unlikely to gain traction from the right person but I might as well try. I just got a job interview at JD sports for a simple sales associate position, its a group interview with up to 8 people per group. I'm not sure if this style of interview was used for all jd sports hires in Canada but im willing to shoot my shot to ask questions about how the interview process is. I couldn't find much information online unfortunately, and pieces that I did find revolved around the job scene in the UK which I don't know if it's going to be accurate to the system here.

as we all know, the job market is terrible in vancouver even for opening retail positions such as this, I really need this job due to financial stress and I'm a university student who wasn't eligible for student loans so I need to make payments.

If you work at JD sports and are willing to discuss how the interview went pls comment or dm me! I'd appreciate it so much!!

Just as the title says, i'm a highschool student, but not for much longer as i'm graduating this june!! I've applied to approximately 150 - 200 jobs in the past year or so, mostly part time positions in both retail and food services and i'm unable to even snag an interview!

I know the current job market in vancouver is competitive, even for minimum wage positions, but i'm wondering if there are any tips people can give. I've tried networking on linkedin but most talent managers don't respond or just let me know that i'll be kept in their pool of potential applicants if a role opens up. This is probably so inappropriate of me but if anyone is willing to refer me or give me some pointers I would appreciate it so much! I'm trying to start saving up for university, though i'll be taking student loans. Thanks!

edit: I know many places that post their job applications on job boards like indeed/linkedin can use ai that goes through resumes, but i've made my resume as professional and legible as possible and I have gotten a few emails back so I know it can't be my resume, but by the time it comes to an interview stage i've usually not gotten a call back, one time I did for whole foods but the manager said their schedule was currently full for an interview and then a week later I got an email saying they have filled the position :/
