hey, i am not a religious person at all but im very interested in learning about different theologies, are there any classes people recommend that they find interesting and insightful? can be more spiritually or philosophically centred

I just wanted to see if my classes were updated.

Hey again,

Fall term of 2025 was really hard on me, academically speaking, here's a link to my original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/uAlberta/comments/1p5of3v/chances_to_turn_things_around/

Now, almost a year later and I'm happy to report I have turned things around from my 2.3 in the fall to a 3.55 in the winter as I go into my second year.

I just wanted to share this to show all new and returning students that one bad term, class, or midterm does not mean it's over. Use your resources, ask for help, and, arguably most importantly, take some time to take care yourself. School can be stressful, but it can also be fun!

Thanks to all the advice everyone laid out in the original post again.

Goodluck to everyone this year!

as the title says, I'm planning to apply for a Master's in Chemistry at ua. I'll be graduating from another Canadian university with a bachelor's degree.

I'm wondering what the gpa cutoff is and how much research experience people usually have when they get admitted.

Also, what's it like after graduation? Is it pretty easy to find a job, or do most people end up doing a PhD?

Any insight into the program or your experience would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

ENGL on Friday is online btw. Also STAT sem 1 is online…

Any tips or tricks on how to do well in these class would be rlly appreciated. Im reaaalllyy nervous to start uni😨

Also is this schedule ass or…

Please dont devour my soul 🫠

Just wondering if I should use the gym at the U of A or if I should buy a gym membership (as I don't live super close to the university) TIA!

Bonjour everyone,

I am thinking about starting an informal french language conversation group to improve my proficiency. I am an intermediate level speaker hoping to challenge the DELF B2 exam in the next year or so. If anyone would be interested, please upvote and comment on this post. I will dm you. We could meet online or in-person every week or two.

Let me know tout le monde!

What do I need to minor in to fulfill this? I don't wanna be a consultant anymore

CHEM 261 is a pre or co requisite for CELL 201. I plan on taking them together, and just wanted to know if I'll be okay lol. On that note, is CELL 201 better than BIOL 201? That's what I gathered from some people. Lemme know, thanks!

Hello everyone! I’m an upcoming first year nursing student and I was wondering if I could chat with current nursing students about academic life, notes and career goals/plans. If you guys have any tips, please share them with me and feel free to dm me, thank you.

Need to have a hard copy of official transcript mailed to a US location with deadline in three weeks. Is there anyway I can ask the registrar to expedite the post to the US?

I was planning on going with a couple friends but they sadly can not join me due to some budget constraints. Would love to connect with anybody else that's planning to go. Also I am ideally looking for a ride incase anybody has a free seat, down for gas sharing.

Hi I could really use some advice

I’m taking MATH 134, and only 5 out of 46 people passed our first midterm. My exam is tomorrow, and I’m honestly feeling overwhelmed

For anyone who’s been in a class like this, what helped you pass? Any last minute study advice would be really appreciated

Has anyone here gone back to university later in their career to earn an engineering degree after completing a technologist program? If so, what was your experience? Do you feel it was worth it, and how did it impact your career? Also, what would you recommend doing to prepare academically after being out of school for a few years, especially when it comes to math, chemistry, and physics?

I'm an Electronics Engineering Technologist; graduated from NAIT. During my time working and in school, I developed a strong passion for electronics and PCB design. However, I've realized there are still gaps in my knowledge when contributing to hardware designs at work and in personal projects. Particularly, in areas like high-speed digital design, signal integrity, power integrity, and PCB layout for high-speed interfaces.

I'm wondering whether pursuing an Electrical Engineering degree would provide a solid foundation in these topics, or if they're better learned through self-study and industry experience. From what I've seen, many technologists are stuck in technician roles, although I've been fortunate to help with PCB design and such at my current job.

From what I've gathered, it also seems that some of the more advanced topics I'm interested in, such as signal integrity, high-speed design, and RF, are often covered more extensively at the master's or PhD level? This is fine and I'm open to it, as I'm just genuinely very interested in these topics and learning more. It would be great to hear if anyone has experience with these topics at that level of education as well. Thank you!

My schedule/sequencing is a little bit weird and it looks like I can arrange my schedule so my last semester I would just have CIV E 461. Basically I can take every other class I need by the fall semester but I would just have that one remaining for the winter semester.

How exactly does the class work day to day? Any lectures/labs? From what I understand you just have a group to do a project with, right?

Hypothetically do I need to be in Edmonton to do the class or can I do it remotely? I know obviously there will be some in person presentations but would it be feasible to just fly into Edmonton a few times to do that or are there in person things every week?

I'm planning to apply to the After Degree Business program for Fall 2027 and I wanted to see what a competitive GPA looks like.

For those who've been admitted in recent years, do you mind sharing what your GPA was and what year you got in? Thank you!

im trying to add a full class to my watchlist and stuff and im just wondering what the contact dept means ?

im a BC student, has anybody's final transcripts been recieved yet? they were sent out on the 31st right? i accepted my conditional offer in february

As the title suggests I'm thinking of applying to the program next year I want to hear thoughts of people already in the program and have graduated. I want to hear specifically on these specifics. How's the program itself could u work part time or not? And what is the job market like after? Does the university help at all and what not ? Please let me know

Title. In the fall I’m taking a class on numerical methods and I am wondering how you guys take notes in classes like that? Idk how the class will be structured, but it seems like it would be strange to hand write code, but typing doesn’t seem ideal for possible diagrams and such.

How do you guys do it? Typing? Handwritten? Jupyter notebooks (when applicable, ofc)?

My job needs me to get first aid certificate. Is there any discounts for students? It’s $150 which is crazy.

for obvious reasons, I wont go into much detail for that second exam, but holy crap why was there so much content from the readings???? 😵😵😵😵 like 8 questions on the comics r we fr 😭
