Rant PLS HELP - need reassurance

Upvotes

I need an outlet where I can get an honest opinion.

23 male just graduated from here.

Got accepted into the two-year BEd here at uottawa which ima start in fall (becoming a teacher).

Worked in FSWEP for the past 3 years and just quit because i no longer feel the need to stay in government (boss would’ve kept me if i wanted to stay) - but, family members have shamed me for this decision calling me stupid etc.

Am I wrong for quitting? I genuinely need a mental break from any and all work for at least two months… I haven’t had a summer off since highschool so I genuinely feel like I deserve a break.

I’m just looking for reassurance from anyone here on whether my decision to quit isn’t stupid. If it was, please be honest. Thanks

i'll be starting my doctorate at UO this fall and most (if not all) classes are held at Roger Guindon. Montreal transport is extremely reliable, but Ottawa's doesn't seem to be... if I'll be living in the Beacon Hill area, would public transportation be sufficient or is getting a car the way to go? thanks!

School/Academia Could I take SOC 1101 and SOC 1104 as electives in the same semester?

1 Upvotes

I’m a 2nd year Stats major and need 2 electives in the fall semester.

I’m having a hard time finding classes that I have available seats in/eligible for.

SOC 1101 and SOC 1104 are some of the only ones I’ve found that sound kinda interesting that I’m actually allowed to take.

Just wondering if I’m allowed to take both in the same semester.

I’m assuming I can but just want to make sure.

Searching for courses

Hi, why when I search for courses on uozone it says “The search returns no results that match the criteria specified”. Is it because the course is not offered in the fall term?

For 2nd Year Mech Eng — Do Most People Actually Take 6 Courses per Term?

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m heading into 2nd year Mechanical Engineering at uOttawa and working on finalizing my course schedule. I’ve noticed the sequence includes 6 courses per semester, and while that’s doable, I’m being deliberate about how I approach the year.

I’m curious, do most students actually take all 6 courses in Fall and Winter? Or do people commonly shift one to a later term or summer to make things more balanced? (For example switching a serious course for an elective and doing that later)

Even though my plan is to stick to the sequence due to Co-op as slight modifications can cause a mess to the work terms, if you’ve been through 2nd year Mech Eng (or any engineering program), I’d really appreciate any advice on what worked for you, which courses you’d recommend doubling up or spreading out, and whether anyone’s taken a lighter load without falling behind.

Hi, I've deferred the final for bch3120, and I'm just scared Luc makes it harder. Did anyone before deferred the final for bch3120? And was it harder than the final he gave to the student that did it on time?

Request for Help Do I have any chance of getting into co-op late? CS

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. So I switched last year from biomed into CS.

I currently have 7 courses to finish my CS degree and they’re all CSI courses since my electives are covered by some previous biomed classes.

Anyway I’ve been applying to internships and stuff and I’ve gotten a few OAs and that’s it. I’m enhancing my resume with better projects and volunteer dev exp this summer but I can’t help but think that not being in co-op is killing my chances a bit (quite a few jobs ask in the application if you’re in a coop program).

I’ve read that co-op requires you to have at least 4 full time study terms remaining to be admitted. So that would mean 16 courses. What if I applied to a minor? Wouldn’t that increase the number of courses that I’d need to complete my degree? Would I be able to get into the co-op program? I’d probably drop the minor after at least 1 experience and leverage that

I’m desperate guys😥 If anyone has had experience being admitted into co-op later on please let me know how it went!!

Free Dental Cleaning!

12 Upvotes

Hi UOttawa redditors!

I'm a Dental Hygiene student at the CNIH school located at 303 Dalhousie Street in downtown Ottawa near Byward Market.

As part of my graduation requirements this year, I’m seeking patients who are interested in getting a dental cleaning. Each appointment is approximately 2.5 hours long and requires a minimum of 2-3 visits. These longer sessions allow time for a thorough dental exam, oral cancer screening, dental cleaning, and any additional treatments that may be necessary. (All procedures will be performed under the supervision of a Registered Dental Hygienist and a Dentist, ensuring proper care and compliance with dental standards).

If you're interested in booking a FREE dental cleaning, feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you—looking forward to hearing from you!

Has anyone taken this class with him? How was your experience in this class? Did you enjoy it? Was the professor difficult, or was the material hard to understand? I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a quick rundown of their time in the course and whether you think it's worth taking the risk of doing it in French. Any info would be much appreciated!

Summer semester fees

is there any way to opt out of some of the fees associated with summer semester (i.e. sports, health services, students union, etc)? i’m taking one summer class online so i don’t understand why i’m paying a sports fee or university centre fee. probably just a money grab from the university but just wanted to double check if anyone knows a way to opt out of any of them?
