For context I’m taking linear algebra this summer and I genuinely have one of the worst profs ever.
He can’t teach he is disorganised and he’s also not honest. He posts review sets at 10pm day before the test and just in general can’t explain. His notes are a mess.

Long story short This course isn’t a challenging course but he makes the assessments really hard and overall I’m not satisfied with my grade in his class.

Should I Finish the course and if not satisfied with my grade I take it again in the fall or should I. Just drop it?

Regardless of going to uottawa or carelton I feel like I’m missing out on so many things.
Everyone says university is supposed to be the best years of your life and it’s where u make life long friends.

Ever since first semester I don’t like the friends I’ve made (not that they are bad) but because I feel we are so different from each other. I haven’t found my friend group or let alone even have a relationship.
I feel so lonely. And my biggest fear is finishing these 4 years without finding a friend group or having fun experience.
The thought of this haunts me everyday.

I’m already in an engineering program which makes it extra stressful but I feel so stagnant. I try so hard and I feel nothing pays me back.

I don’t even like my program or the people in it.

I’m a first year soft eng student and I feel like I don’t like my major. I don’t like how normalised using AI is it’s bad for the environment and uses a lot of water.
I’ll be lying if I say I don’t use AI, but I want to be in a career where it isn’t heavily used. A simple google search used AI and I’m so sick of it .

Which is easier 3 free electives+ complimentary studies elective (which is basically a free elective) + 2 technical electives or option 2 which is intro to business, marketing, financial accounting, business and society and cross cultural management +1 technical elective?

I’m looking to do the easier option

Does anyone know what topics the prof will be on it. I know we learned about 10 lectures so far but I don’t think that it is possible to study ten lectures worth of content for one midterm I was wondering if he said lecture 1-7 or something like that

For context I am a first year software engineering student entering my second year of university.
If I’m being honest I don’t feel truly confident with my coding skills and I also feel the field is way too overly saturated and everyone is using AI.Also finding an internship as a software engineer is very very hard.
I would rather solve a problem set for 2 hours then debug code for two hours.

I have been thinking of switching into civil engineering with a double degree in cs (to not lose credits)

For those working in civil engineering coming from tech backgrounds or the other way around.
Is civil engineering easier?(in the context you don’t have to learn a new programming language everyday or something of equivalence)
Is there work life balance ?
Is the work fulfilling?
Is it mentally exhausting?

And do you enjoy your job?

Basically I have a physics lab and I rounded the sig figs wrong in the lab now that I’m going over it I’m only rounding the uncertainty to the correct value. Again I’m not altering any data but I’m just fixing my rounding mistakes. Plus they are not too strict I wrote the data pen too

I’m like happy with cgpa but I’m kind of sad since I had expected that I did rly good on the final but that wasn’t the case.

I’m rly grateful but I’m sad because eveytime my average in a class is good I always mess up the final exam and it makes my final grade bad

I’ve always been a creative at heart and Im good at math. I like how architecture is a mix of math and art. Do architects get paid well and is it less work then cs? I rely way too much an ai for coding and I feel like I won’t ever improve in it. I’ve always wanted to do architecture but heard stories about how it takes time and money and it’s a useless degree

For context I barely have time to take care of my hair, it’s always frizzy and looks like a mess. I also have Arab wavy thick frizzy hair. I’ve tried straightening it at home and curly hair routine but nothing has worked and it’s too high maintenance.
Also for my lifestyle I barely have time to take care of it. What are the pros and cons of chemically straightening your hair and does it save you time or damage your hair too much ?

I’m taking 3 courses . Would the bus pass still work

For context I’m entering my second year of software engineering. I’ve passed all my classes in first year with good grades except for my intro to codig class where I got a c , but then redeemed myself by getting an A + in coding next semester I find myself too reliant on AI for coding . I’ve been thinking of switching to math since it interests me and I know it involves proofs but it comes more intuitively to me. When I study code I understand it but I’m scared of making it to my final year of studying and not knowing how to code. Plus the software engineering job leads to a lot of burnout and overtime as well not too mention super competitive. Everyone I’ve asked tells me to stay in this field since it’s good. I don’t know what I would work as a math major anyway but I feel like in soft eng my efforts might not be worth it. I feel like I know absolutely nothing. So to people working as software engineers is it worth all the efforts,sleepless nights, doubting urself?
