( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not sure you have recourse then? I really don't know. If it wasn't during the regular exam period then you'd have options "No examinations or tests collectively worth more than 20% of the final grade in a course will be given during the final 14 calendar days of classes in a term" I was under the impression throughout the strike that if the professor were to suddenly change the weighting of things and outright cancel midterms they had to have the consensus of the class first. I thought I had read that somewhere. I can't see the majority of students being happy with this. Maybe I'm wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Think it's at the discretion of the Senate in this Instance. Under normal circumstances syllabus changes require majority class approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Cell Bio midterm will be all MC now. I'm assuming most of the biology TAs refused to return to work. I know a handful of the cell bio TAs and they were anti strike prior to this going down, so maybe CUPE talked some sense into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah, you're right. I think they will rescind this decision on Wednesday. All it takes is 1 incident with picketers. One person to get hurt, one more death threat. It will be a nightmare. We are not U of T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 My psych prof just cancelled the second midterm... (content will be on the final) and is saying we will have our last class April 13 THEN an exam... can they do this? This is essentially a 70% final it seems. Is that even allowed? Psych of women right. At first I was happy that I don't have to deal with another midterm, then I realized it would make the final a killer 70% exam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email faculty heads etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe students could convince her to weigh the first midterm heavier? Also I don't understand why we can't just have a class on April 6. I do NOT want to still be attending classes mid April.. bruhh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we voice our concerns in class she might consider adjusting the weighing of the 2 exams. Why can't we just have the 2nd midterm... she could make it shorter and from fewer chapters.

aaronjw Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Surely MC midterms don't require TA's? How are they going to invigilate final exams with no TA's/GA's? It'll be a cheaters paradise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a cheaters paradise Good point. I got so excited that part completely went over my head... wtf was York thinking. Better question, are they just going to hire undergrads/outside workers for exams if the strike isn't resolved by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't think they can pay someone for a job that someone on strike would normally perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I guess they could ask other profs (or anyone else in Unit 2) to invigilate other exams but that's not part of their job so they could easily reject to do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 For exams, some of the invigilator positions get posted later in the term, and usually you sign up to take them on. For these jobs, they can hire outside invigilators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you're driving just park at Black Creek. It's $7 maximum all day and free after 2:30PM. I've been parking there since september. It is a bit of a longer walk but waiting at a picket line doesn't sound any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
