lolelol Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 What's the difficulty level? People have said the lab component is a real killer. Maybe I'll take microbiology instead. I never had a problem with the lab reports I think I got 90 on all 3 of them, my TA was Nick and i thought he was fair. You have a lab test at the end of the term, I thought that was pretty fair too. Microbiology lab components are killer, you have to go back to the lab and check on your bacteria practically every week and you sometimes spent an hour counting your colonies and such. Also there are something like 10 assignments in microbiology, the lab component is a lot of work. The assignments aren't full lab reports, you only have to do 1 or 2 of those but it gets really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It appears he has deleted that post. hmmm Just saw that. Not sure what to make of it - either he was being sarcastic, he isn't allowed to disclose, or the offer wasn't as good as he originally thought.

Falling Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If they vote on monday and end the strike, classes won't resume until Wednesday. It was confirmed that we have 24 hours from the end of strike to resume classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 lets get on social media and tell them whatever deal was proposed is not good enough and they should hold out for more! At least for one more week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Has anyone been able to gather any info on how the bargaining went today? I can't even find a single comment on twitter about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Has anyone been able to gather any info on how the bargaining went today? I can't even find a single comment on twitter about it. Some rumours that it went well. I heard someone else say that the employer is very close to the demans made by the contract faculty, but has yet to budge on the GA and TA demands. They're still at the bargaining table; meeting was supposed to end at 5, but they're still at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 This says it all right here: "There’s a very small percentage of our members that are crossing picket lines,” Craig Smith, The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 3902’s outreach coordinator, says. 'We know that the majority of them are from hard sciences.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
