Does anyone know if Concordia University has a dress code? I get that there is a degree of professionalism that a student should maintain, but today at the library I was approached by the security supervisor asking me to vacate the premises because my shorts were too short.

I was wearing Asics 4 inch running shorts. I am a lean build 180 lbs 5'11" tall.

I told the supervising security guard that this is the first time I am hearing of a dress code. But it is summer and I did raise the fact that I do see women wear shorts and skirts that are shorter and or of the same length on campus.

The supervisor said that "it is not the same thing for men". When I mentioned that this is kind of a strange standard and that I shouldn't be treated any differently because of my gender, the conversation switched. He then allowed me to stay in the library despite my attire, but next time I should be wearing shorts of "appropriate length for men".

The conversation was respectful, but it really unsettling to be told to leave because I am a male wearing mens running shorts.

Has anyone ever been approached about what they choose to wear on campus :s?

it's gonna have multiple choice??? i'm worried about this switch tbh

My teacher is lowkey being hush hush about the midterm and hasn’t given much on it.

Can anyone fill in the blanks please lol, I know 2.1-3.1 are on it but not sure how many questions are on it and typically what it leans into the most.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m starting Aerospace Engineering this fall and I’m currently choosing my first-semester classes. I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually taken these courses or know the profs well.

My situation is a bit specific, depending on how much I enjoy or not aerospace, I may eventually try to transfer into another major/program later on. Because of that, I need to maintain a very high GPA (ideally 4.2+), so I’m trying to build the smartest and most manageable first semester possible.

About me academically:

I’m a very hardworking student and I study a lot

I’m generally strong in math, especially calculus

I’m good at physics overall (better than math) but NOT electricity/electrical-related topics

I have absolutely no programming experience

So from these classes, which ones would you recommend taking together for:

- the fairest grading

-best chances at an A/A+

-manageable workload

-less dependence on group projects, for more grade control

-clearer/easier content for a first semester

Here are my options:

• AERO 201 – Intro to Flight & Aero Systems
• COEN 243 – Programming Methodology I
• ENGR 213 – Applied Ordinary Differential Equations
• ENGR 233 – Applied Advanced Calculus
• ENGR 242 – Statics
• ENGR 201 – Professional Practice & Responsibility
• COEN 212 – Digital Systems Design I
• COEN 231 – Introduction to Discrete Mathematics
• ENGR 202 – Sustainable Development & Environmental Stewardship

Also, RateMyProf reviews are super mixed for a lot of these courses/outdated, so I’d much rather hear personal experiences from students who actually took them.

I am open to hear literally any advice for surviving first semester engineering while keeping a very high GPA would help a lot. Thanks!!!

What the title says; is there a way to get my money back or is it gone forever?

Last week I got back my final grade for MIAE 221 and got FNS/DNW, except I wrote the final. I contacted everyone to see why it happens (my prof, the ta, advisor, etc) and found out that I submitted my term paper incorrectly. I essentially submitted nothing by accident. I emailed my TA with prof in CC that I have proof that it was completed in time, and the TA replied saying that once he got instructions from the prof about how much to penalize, he would grade it. This all happened exactly a week ago, and I haven't gotten an update. In this time I've sent 2 follow-ups, and I'm getting increasingly worried.

I know my prof is notoriously unreachable so maybe it'll take a while, but I at least thought that TAs have an easier time getting a hold of them. Is there a deadline for changing final grades? I might be in serious trouble if there is.

I don't really know where to go from here. I could just send another follow-up, but it's unlikely to result in anything. I really cannot fail this class since I would lose my scholarship. It's definitely my fault, I should've double checked my submission but otherwise I'd say I did well in this class. I did the tutorials and well on the midterm and the final was tough but not so bad that it would fail me.

Yea I will seriously crash out if I am forced to do this class again, none of these topics came easily to me and I tried really hard and I worked on my paper two months early. I really don't want it all to amount to nothing.

Yo,

I'm a CS student trying to land a Fall internship, and the search is rough... you go through hundreds of postings on Compass one by one, and half of them don’t even match your background.

So I built a tool on top of Compass that:

- Reads my CV

- Scans job listings automatically

- Decides if I actually match the role

- Applies automatically using the package (only one)

For cover letters, I use a general cover letter that works for most jobs. Inside Compass, I already have a package set up with my CV and cover letter.

The logic is basically:

- If the answer is NO -> skip and move to the next posting

- If the answer is YES -> select package, apply, move to the next posting

If the posting requires applying on a company website, it skips it automatically.

It works pretty well so far.Would you actually use something like this if it worked well? If people from different majors start landing internships with it, I might push it live.

If you're interested, comment your field and I’ll DM you.

I’m taking math 205 this summer, and so far its a bit difficult…is anyone interested in studying together and does anyone have tips on how to do well in this course

if im position 4 what are my chances i get it if its for this fall semester

Hey! I’m of Algerian descent student at Concordia. I’ve never been to Algeria my life and I am looking to connect with my fellow born and raised Algerians. Hit me up and we could chat and maybe meet over coffee. Thank you so much

So let me get this straight ..... the waitlist system closes at 4 pm on the DNE deadline day, so even if people drop afterward, you won’t be automatically registered and the system still recognizes that there is a waitlist and won’t let you manually add the class either, even though there are empty seats? 😂😂 What sense does that make ....anyways people drop your classes earlier on to give chance to the waitlist people 🤷🏿‍♂️

Econ 203!! Summer study group sessions

Today’s study session wasn’t good !! I had high hopes. And they removed last semester study group recordings as well. My plan was to attend these sessions and do the assignments for a decent grade but now I feel like I’ll have to work really hard 😔😔

I've been thinking about starting a public transportation/rail club and trying to gauge support/interest. I'm perfectly happy to do all the work of organizing and submitting the club creation forms (happy to have other founders though), just wondering about participation.

Club purpose: advocate for future rail projects and improved service on existing networks, organize events (?)

Reasoning: thousands of students rely on the Metro to get anywhere, the recent report about the state of disrepair of Metro stations, we have no new rail projects in planning (rem almost finished, blue line extension tunneling underway) whereas Toronto has several, have found the public transportation advocacy essentially non existent in Montreal

Is there a group chat for this class? If not I’d be down to make one

Fellow Concordia students,

What's our contingency plan in the case that AGI does actually arrive? I'm no slug, I have a perfect GPA over my first two engineering subjects, and I have so far come with two options for us in case AGI does arrive:

1. Get high daily and play video games with friends to numb the pain of not only leaving in a universe devoid of meaning, but also of being without value (and thus without meaning) to any material thing. Take shrooms to artificially feel meaning, after AGI has robbed us of our durable delusion of self worth through materialistic competition.

In fact, I am high RIGHT NOW.

Why do I get all these good grades, concordians? Its not for the money. Barely for the gpa. Is it the meaning of life, right now? Just this moment. Do we live like that?

Thoughts?
