Other Lost Wallet (pls help!)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Did anyone pick up a dark brown wallet on campus last week Thursday? It has some bank cards and my ID in it (which i really need). I would have lost it between 1PM and 4PM, in either the Cafeteria or Nicol Building. I checked Lost and Found the next day but because it's Reading Week I thought I'd check if anyone on here saw it or dropped it off. Thanks for your help!

Question Carleton - Has anyone been able to finish a full-year course remotely or get an exception?

0 Upvotes

I am currently enrolled in a full-year in-person course at Carleton, but due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I may need to move back home for the winter term.

I have already contacted Carleton and was told that I'd have to drop the course if I couldn't continue attending, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever been in a similar situation or knows whether there are any other options.

I'm not necessarily worried about dropping the course, I mainly want to avoid losing the credits I've already been working toward if there's any possible alternative.

I know I'll need to confirm anything official with Carleton, but I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with something similar or knows who I could contact about this. Thanks!

Question What do people do for fun??

3 Upvotes

I got into both Carleton and UofA for CS and I’m trying to decide between the two (and dal is also in there) since those are my top choices. I LOVED UofA when I saw it, and I’m touring Carleton soon.

Big question that I have is what people actually do other than just straight school. I’m going to be relatively far away from home (I’m from massachusetts, I’m going to Canada because I have citizenship and it’s a lot cheaper than anything in the U.S.) and I don’t want to be miserable and doing nothing but school all the time. Obviously education is the priority but it’s not the only thing I’m considering. I’m big into theatre and stuff, but I like a lot of things and I just want to know generally what people do when they’re not in classes or studying.

Question Peer Evaluations

0 Upvotes

Most of my classes have peer evaluations. Every class each pulled their weight on group projects. One of the classes has 10% of mark alloted to this but also says can leave a couple sentences or just a score. If I just leave scores, will it affect this 10% or do I need to add comments for full marks.

Question wanna be friends?

21 Upvotes

hi guys!! I’m in my 3rd year and everyone in my classes are already in friend groups. I’ve made acquaintances but it just never reached to the point of being genuine friends. everyone says join clubs and i tried but the ones im in are basically dead lol. what good (active) clubs are there? On top of that im off campus and have a long commute so making friends + going to club events after late classes is just way harder.

I want to put myself out there this year so send me a dm if you want to be friends!

Rant Your AI use is ruining things for others..

243 Upvotes

Please someone tell me I’m not crazy for thinking this:

So today in class our prof was talking about a discrepancy in grades between assignments and midterms, because of AI use. He was getting everyone’s opinions on what we think he should do..

He was mentioning something about potentially making exams more difficult to avoid these situations, but also doesn’t want to make things harder. I don’t understand why he’s not able to flag assignments for AI use or dock people’s assignments and continue with how things are.

I guess my point with this is that I don’t see how it’s fair for the rest of us who don’t use AI to basically be punished for the ones who do. Like why do exams have to be harder to stop those people from relying on AI? Our exams are multiple choice, but there’s now discussions about adding short answer questions, I just find this unfair.

Why can’t he report/flag/dock assignments and leave things as is? It doesn’t make sense for the rest of us to basically pay the price because of the ones who have been using AI. If they use AI, let them get a bad grade, why is it our problem? I’m thinking of sending him an email, but I’m open to hearing thoughts.

Rant I know the Carleton shitposter…

17 Upvotes

He lives within the very walls of the place where I reside. He follows no code, no law, he walks on the left side he is the most DASTARDLY man to ever walk the Carleton tunnels. I am scared, I am terrified that one day he will run out of monster energy (the white ones) and he will go feral. There is no telling what it is capable of, one time I merely glanced at the dr. Pepper it happened to be drinking at the time, oh …the unspeakable HORROR that shortly ensued there after (I wasn’t even looking at it, I was looking in its general direction). Warn your children, warn your grandma, it’s boutta be Groundhog Day up in this bitch.
