CALL ME A SEXIST IDGAF.

JSMB student here. Just today I read 2 posts about group projects (and many more in the past), based on what I have seen & experienced, here is my somewhat biased yet always verified conclusion: guys tend to slack more on group projects, at least in my faculty.

YES, I KNOW, not all dudes, but always a dude. I mean, the fact that I have to make this post and connect it to gender is illogical and pathetic, yet reality has proved me right so many times. Kudos to guys out there who have been consistent, punctual and responsible; this post isn't about you.

Sometimes by just checking someone's vibes, you can already tell this mf isn't gonna do much on the group project. NGL I was a bum when I had finished high school. Yeah my grade was alright to get into a cégep, but I didn't really have any idea where I was going. So I took another approach. Anyway, that's a different story.

This isn't going to sound nice or gentle; in fact, even kind of harsh: you should not expect others to take university seriously. Yes I know it's called a group project and everyone should put in the work; well, sometimes you are stuck with some lame ahh mfs, and they don't do shit. What could you do? EVERYTHING IN LIFE AIN'T HAPPENING THE WAY YOU WANT, sometimes you have to accept it and deal with it. Don't let some random bih ahh mfs ruin your mood. You don't deserve that.

Try to go with professors with higher ratings, because they tend to care and understand the situation(not guaranteed, do not rely on my words on this one).

Oh , last academic year this mf in our group did absolutely zero work, I didn't say shit, until the peer evaluation. Then I roasted the shit outta that mf, without profanity, naturally. And I rated him 0 for everything (so did other team members cuz they couldn't put up with his BS).

Sometimes I wonder if starting university right after high school/cégep is the best decision for everyone.

GODDAMN I'M BEING TOO PREACHY.

Regardless, my guys, for the last time, please LOCK THE FUCK IN.

All the best.

P.S. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE I'M A DUDE I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND YOU A PIC OF MY () 💀💀💀.

For context, I am having an incredibly difficult experience with two dudes I had a lab with. I tried talking to them in the lab, but they just do wtv the fuck they want, skip steps, etc. I sent an email to the TA telling him I will not be working with them again, due to lack of cooperation and he says it's cool but I'd have to switch with someone else. I can't in good conscience do that to anyone, I'd for sure look like an asshole. Anybody have any suggestions? Tbh, I'd rather work alone than ever deal with these two again, so, don't even suggest I "deal with it." Working with them again is a no-go.

Chat I wanna ask for any tips for TAmaxxing. Aside from applying online to TA positions, are there any other ways like is it okay to reach out to a professor and ask for an open TA position or just help with your application. I'm in my fourth year.

I have higher than A- grade in some courses and I want to apply for those courses specifically. But my GPA is currently less than 3.0 (don't ask me how). Would that affect my application? Any other tips to maximize my TA application? Can't wait to teach yall nerds.

So I checked on the concordia website to see if I was admitted or rejected, and i applied for biochemistry, biology and chemistry all in specialization. I read while applying that if you are not accepted in specialization you are automatically considered for major. but when i checked the website it just said you have been refused admission, please read the letter for clarification. I still have not gotten the letter and when i called the admissions they said to wait for the letter cause they don't know why I was refused yet.

So anyone who has been accepted in major but not specialization, how did they tell you?

Hi everyone!

In my acceptance letter, I was conditionally accepted under the condition that I send my official transcript. The thing is when I applied, I already had my current uni send the official transcript through the BCI. In my Concordia portal, under documents received, I can also see my official transcript was received .Why is the admission advisor asking me for this ? I emailed the advisor so now just have to wait for the reply.

TIA for your help !

Has anyone actually had any success or follow up from facilities after reporting an accessibility issue or something that is broken in campus?

I’m nearing the end of 4 years at Concordia and some wheelchair lifts have been out of order and waiting repair the entire time 😭

More broadly, how do people with disabilities (temporary or not) feel about the ease or struggle it takes to get around campus?

I ordered my student ID card for my exam coming soon, and they are asking to bring a government ID card but I lost my wallet

Do they accept pictures ?

I am a new undergraduate student here in Concordia. I wanted to renew my expired opus card, normally you can do it online and receive it by post instead of having to go to Berri-Uqam. On Concordia website it says that you can do that by going to student center then personal then renew opus card. However, such thing doesn’t exist on the student center website. Was anyone able to order their opus card online, if so, please tell me how. Thanks in advance!
