wlu midterms

17 Upvotes

I'm so done. How is it possible for me to be a straight A student in high school but failing courses in Uni. I'm a first year BBA student at Wlu I just got midterm marks back I got 51% in BU111. I don't know how that happened I literally studied so much. I got 55% in MA129 after checking the answers after the exam. For ECON120 I messed up on the scantron and they wouldn't let me fix it so god knows what mark will that be I'm so scared. The only one I'm hopeful for is BU127 if i don't do good on that too I'm gonna crash out.

For MA129 labs I've been studying for that and since its open book I thought it would be easy I would have all the homework questions solved step by step on my notebook and other examples but for some reason I haven't been getting good marks there all F.

I haven't my best self lately I am thinking of talking to a therapist or someone,

A lot of the time I understand and I know what to do but I forget really easily these days nothing sticks anymore. I have the psychologist friend I told them about what's happening and they said it might be something that happened in the past that made you like this which makes sense, but I need something to help me with school I can't keep going like this or else I will be forced to leave the program and that cannot happen. I already switched my program and school so I am on academic probation from OSAP for a year if i fail they won't pay for my schooling anymore

Does anyone have any advice? either upper year BBA students or literally anyone that can help me.

failed the bu111 midterm

3 Upvotes

i failed the bu111 midterm by 3 percent because of short answer. i studied a lot and did practice questions for everything. this was my first time taking an exam in almost a year because i got into an accident had to get surgery and missed out on most of my grade 12. i also got diagnosed with anxiety after my surgery. i felt like i was thinking too hard and trying not to throw up writing that exam. not trying to make excuses but genuinely im baffled. ii studied so hard. wtf do i do now? am i gonna get kicked out?

What happened at the RAC (Brantford) yesterday??

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have more details about what happened? The email is so vague and I wish I knew more so I could know how scared I should be around campus. I haven’t felt unsafe on campus before (and I’m in 4th year) so this is hitting kinda hard. I have night classes too so I’m extra worried.

I hope the student is okay too.

bu491 midterm question one: who is the author(s) of this one assigned article? select all that apply. the rest of the midterm followed similarly - basically random knowledge points from the textbook and zero application or actual testing of, you know, learning.

we were all - naturally - very frustrated about this, and after multiple people raised concerns during the midterm review in class, he basically brushed it off and laughed at us, calling it an easy question.

frankly i feel like he's wasted all of our time and is an ineffective professor. i don't want to make any comments on his character because i don't know the guy personally, but the way that he wrote the midterm and is handling the feedback from students is very frustrating.

Handsome guy on ion reading his book

0 Upvotes

Just thinking about the guy I saw on Ion this morning, handsome, blond, muscular just sitting and reading his book in depth, unlike any other guys with headphones or any tech in sight. He was dressed very nicely.
He glanced at me with his blue eyes and went back to reading. I saw him on bus 7 as well the other day. Who is he? I would love to connect with him!

I’m a guy but fascinated 🧐
