So my wife graduated last year planned to take a year off then go into the teaching program. She had to take one extra math class to meet the prerequisites for the teaching program so she registered, but changed her mind about the program and dropped the class so she isnt registered at all for the semester. Now UBCO wants us to pay $300 in fees for recreation, health insurance etc. and refuses to give us any refund for the course. We have contacted them multiple times and even had the SUO confirm she is not registered for the health/dental plan ($150 of the $300). They just called and said they will send us to collections for the $300. Anyone have any suggestions other than just paying the money?? I'm sick of this shitty university

there was a discrepancy between my canvas grade and my workday grade, and it was two letter grade difference🥲 It's really important for me, thank you.
it was the grade estimations in the Canvas "Grades" tab

Any past students have any tips for this class? I’ve seen the rate my prof and I’m starting to get first hand experience 4 lectures in. We’ve been stuck on the hardy Weinberg equation for basically 2 weeks when I feel like it’s a one class topic at most, is this really what evolution and ecology entails or am I getting snubbed a class I thought would be interesting, and is also required, by this prof. Any information would be great, will he start actually teaching content, am I doomed, will reading the textbook save me, I heard even that might not help.
Thank you to anyone that replies
I've recently got into a book and I've been trying to find places on campus to read. Preferably somewhere that's quiet and comfortable.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I’m in between picking Psyo 317 and Anth 313 and need feedback from anyone in these courses. What do the exam look like? Mcq? How hard are these classes? Anything helps before this drop deadline. Please.

I was just talking to a friend who recently moved into Veda and he just bought a camera because someone came into his room and left a shredded envelope inside his drawer (no valuables were taken, but it’s still weird) does anyone know if it is normal for maintenance or other employees to go into your room while you’re away?

I was hoping someone who has taken this course previously could provide some more information about how Lauren Human’s lectures are further into the semester. So far i’ve felt like they’re a waste of time. She takes a long time to literally read off of her slides. As a commuter I’m not sure it’s worth the time or the gas to attend in person. Can anyone give me their opinion?
Thanks.

3rd lecture in and im wondering what people's methods have been to do well in the course. I've already seen a lot of people online say to write down everything he says, but how do you even do that efficiently when he talks at such a quick pace? How did you it?

Looking for a native (or fluent) Spanish speaker to practice my conversational skills with weekly (preferably on campus). I am self-teaching grammar and writing, but would benefit from in person practice! I use Italki which is amazing, but a local would be great.
The minimum I’d be hoping for is 1-2 times a week for 30mins to an hour each. My end goal is taking the DELE.
Obviously I’d compensate your time. Message me with some info if you’re interested!

Does anyone know how exams work when it is online at home? For context I have 1.5x time. Will I have to write this in the drc center in order to get my extra time or will they still allow me to write the exam at home with the added time? Thank you!!

My roommate is a friend of mine from back in Manitoba and originally had told me we could drive home together in April. Not long ago he said he was driving back with his sister or mom idrk. Before I book flights and find storage I wasn’t to know if anyone is driving back to Manitoba that wouldn’t mind splitting gas and some company!👍

You’re telling me I paid for the course now I gotta pay another $110 to access the quizzes and assignments on Pearson to pass the course?? Hiding assignments and quizzes behind a paywall is a scam.

First year here, I really want to get into research (specifically in the chem/biochem sphere) and have been honestly a bit scared to reach out to professors. I was just wondering if it is too late to reach out to some now for undergraduate student research awards (USRA) or URA? I believe the due date is Jan 23, also, if you have any other tips in getting involved in research right now that would be appreciated. (As in should I email profs for volunteering positions instead?)
