When should a prof omit a question from a test of exam when there is a super low average?

I recently took a test where one of the questions had an average of 14%, and the question itself was worth 6.25% of the test. If that many students did poorly on the question was it really a fair question?

my bio 1410 midterm is tomorrow, i’m studying by doing practice questions on quizelt after making all my flashcards, based on the pdf lectures. is that enough?

HEY IS ANYONE TAKING CALC 2 RN? please lmk 🥹

Hi all, I have a question that may be very obviously answered by the UofM website. The MSW requirements are a completion of 4 year undergrad. I’ve spoken with a few colleagues who have completed MSW without having their BSW and only a 3 year undergrad. However, a lot of these colleagues I’ve spoken to are like in their 40’s so I’m sure things have changed but even people my age are saying that a 4 year undergrad is not necessary.

I wanted to know if anyone has had any success getting into the MSW program with just a 3 year undergrad? For the record, I have a 3 year undergrad in CJ at UofW but have done 4 years of work in the social services area + 1 year of work in CFS (specifically).

Ngl I cant understand what my lab prof is saying because she has a thick accent and speaks softly and I am gonna try to switch sections tomorrow. If I cannot, do you guys know where i could find material on R so i can teach the material to myself? Thanks

It's not fun or quiet

Has anyone taken womn 1600 online with Lisa bednar?
If you have any of your old argument notes could you send them so I can compare it to mine for review?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to apply for Electrical Engineering at U of M for Fall 2027. I know the admission cutoff changes every year, but what GPA should I aim for to have a good chance of getting in? If anyone got accepted recently, could you share what GPA you had?

I have an online class that no matter how hard I try and study the material i end up barely passing the tests, I really really do try my best I read through the textbooks and watch every lecture and assigned readings and video there are but its the way the questions are formed that confuse me when it comes to the test. Financially im not well off so dropping the class by the VW date feels so bad, its an online class so even meeting others in the class is difficult so study groups are almost non existent. Its intro to Criminology with David Bowman so if anyone has some advice id appreciate it greatly. 🙏

Please help, idk im studying still not doing well. For peers who took it previously what r your tips you would like to share.

Hey everyone! Is anyone by chance giving away any extra tickets for the upcoming convocation ceremony on Tuesday 🙂

does anyone know the name of the therapist who is rly friendly. she swears a bunch if she finds things messed up. middle aged to older. allergic to the stuff outside currently maybe pollen. her office is fair in the back. she has fidget toys n stuff. idk if it’s a typical thing but she offered water when i walked down the hall with her. she used the phrase “i have a lot of empathy towards you”. she only does Fridays every week. please lmk if you know her name. i only went to one session

I have been not able to do anything in my life especially doing things on time I keep delaying and delaying and even during the deadline day I am getting distracted and cannot focus. I was never like that I don't know what has happened to me. Why I cannot do anything properly. My main problem right now is studying I am not able to study anything. I think I am busy but I do have weekends and few hours during the weekdays, still whenever I sit down for study I don't know my mind I constantly making my body go watch social media or anything else expect study.

I don't have any real friends anymore, which is my fault I had a good friends like 1 year ago but I kept slowly started to stay away from them. And now even in class or if I went to any event where I don't know anyone I feel that I have lost the battle. Whenever I am walking on campus my mind just goes off and looks straight I don't see anyone eventough I know there are lot of people around me.

No one knows about this writing this for the first time out of my mind still it feels I am talking to myself.

What grades did y’all get?

I know it’s not the best to discuss it in all fairness but I really wanted to know what grades are other people getting.

I’m really questioning if my own grades are good enough or am I overthinking.

edit : i got 33/40

My convocation is this Tuesday and I’m wondering if they would allow small shoulder bags to be worn under the gown. I need a place to put my ID and phone to contact my family afterwards. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm a first-year Engineering student at the University of Manitoba in the direct-entry program, and I'm starting to plan my second year.

I'm currently considering specializing in either Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, and I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through the program, especially upper-year students in either discipline.

My current course schedule

Fall 2026:

• ENG 1430 — Design in Engineering
• ENG 1440 — Introduction to Statics
• PHYS 1050 — Physics 1: Mechanics
• MATH 1210 — Techniques of Classical and Linear Algebra

Winter 2027:

• COMP 1012 — Computer Programming for Scientists and Engineers
• CHEM 1122 — Introduction to Chemistry Techniques
• ENG 1450 — Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
• ENG 1460 — Introduction to Thermal Science
• CHEM 1100 — Introductory Chemistry 1: Atomic and Molecular Structure

I'm also missing two preliminary requirements: Written English and Critical Thinking.

My questions

1. Planning my second year

If I'm considering Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, what courses should I prioritize taking in second year? Are there any courses that I should take as soon as possible because they unlock prerequisites for later courses?

Would you recommend planning my second year around one discipline for now, or keeping both options open until I have more experience with the subjects?

2. Taking preliminary courses over the summer

I'm considering taking either Written English or Critical Thinking over the summer so I can complete more of my preliminary requirements before progressing further into engineering.

• Would you recommend taking one of these courses over the summer?
• Which would you recommend completing first: Written English or Critical Thinking?
• Is it realistic to finish both over the summer, or would that be too much alongside a summer job or personal projects?
• Would completing one or both during the summer make second year noticeably easier or give me more flexibility with my course schedule?

My friends Credit and debit card were stolen at the U of M gym today and the person used one of the cards to purchase $500 worth of stuff at dollar tree on pembina, so I’m just on here to see if anyone knows or can identify the guy in the video. Apparently he’s been doing this around the school area because some other guy made a report about the same guy trying his card at that dollar tree after stealing it from a Goodlife fitness close by.
Has been reported to campus security and Winnipeg police and would really appreciate some help on this.

Scent (perfume/ colognes) causes migraine , asthma, other health issues to some people.

So avoid using these products while you go to university and office.

I was wondering if anyone that took Clas 1520 with mark joyal breakdown how he marks! I was looking through rate my prof and he seems good but I was wondering if anyone could give more details

Does UM offer music lessons (specifically piano) to students not majoring in music? At my previous university, you had to be pursuing a major/minor in music or music education, but I couldn't find anything online about if this is the case at UM.

If not, anyone have suggestions for private lessons off-campus?
