Ling Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Really starting to wonder about York now. Taking a stats class bit the prof sucks so I hold group study sessions where I reteach the material as exam prep to help people out. Have another mature student in the group that leaves me wondering how she got in. Barely speaks English and worse, had to spend 20 mins teaching her how to convert decimals to percents, percents to decimals and ratio's to fractions. Turns out that was a good thing because a few of the others, who aren't far removed from high school, were also lost on how to do this. I am bewildered :/ Which course is this? Are you a TA for this course or something? If not I give you props for taking the initiative to hold group sessions for others. Who knows a lot of people now a days do private school to get marks so learn nothing. Maybe they could have did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ling Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 done that* you must have taken 12U English in private school.. I don't pay attention to spelling and grammar when I write on forums. You* must have taken Grade* 12 English in private school.* Before you attack someone on a forum make sure you don't look like a fool in the process.

Goku Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I heard he's a great prof! I'm taking his 3rd year Intro to Bioethics course I was in that course but dropped it. I felt uneasy taking a third year philosophy course. Thought I'd be putting my GPA on the line. I even e-mailed him asking if people get As in his class and he said "rarely". I might take the course in fourth year when my GPA can take a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mmhs12345 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Anyone here had kine 1020 before? I'm never a person that complains about tests, I usually do really well on all multiple choice, but it feels as though Belcastro's section on the exam was very unfair. He asked questions we never even learned before. Did he do that for anyone here that him for kine 1020? Also, does kine 1020 and kine 1000 bellcurve?

Oh no that's not good to hear...guess I'll see on the first class what the syllabus is like. I wonder if his 2nd year Applied Ethics class is any easier? (anyone take that?)

Yeah immuno is one of the harder bio courses I think. I took that two years ago and it definitely hurt my GPA Interesting class though, and Tanya's a really nice person.

Falling Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Does anyone know how regrading policies work for classes with final assignments, not final exams? I received a B+ in a course today with a final paper. With my grades going in, I needed only a 67 on the final paper to get 80%, and given the TA and Prof feedback, I'm confident I got at least a 67. The prof didn't return grades for the final paper. As we all know the difference between a B+ and an A is the difference between a 3.3 and a 3.8.
