Even if it is program specific, look to see if it has been asked here before. 99% of the time, chances are the same question has been asked before, and that people are all coming on here looking for answers.

In response to deodorant, body odours and cleanliness

16 Upvotes

The Sitch

There have been recent complaints about student hygiene in this subreddit. In regards to body odour, oral odour, and general uncleanliness. Clearly, a large number of students are having a growing issue in regards to the hygiene of other students.

Bad hygiene is not "personal". It disrupts others' learning, it makes public spaces sometimes unbearable to be around, and it is unfair to those who are sensitive to smells. This can affect student performance, the willingness of students to socialize and use NAIT services, and can be a real detriment to the students who are paying to study at NAIT.

Some students have no choice but to use the computers at commons, eat lunch in the common areas, and do group work in common areas. It is wildly unfair to them to not enforce these rules.

Who's the Issue?

The truth is that these students can come from all backgrounds. Although our experience as individuals make it very easy to generalize certain groups of being the main culprit, the issue needs to be dealt with at a grand level. Black, brown, blue or purple; if you smell bad, you smell bad. Should be enforced from the get-go.

Seeing the growing number of racial generalizations, it can be very easy for these generalizations to slip into unnecessarily racist comments. If we want this issue dealt with, we need to refrain from immature racist comments and stay focused on the end goal.

What should we do about it?

We know NAIT has loosely enforced "odour sensitivity" before, in regards to wearing strong perfumes and colognes. Why can the same not be done for strong, unpleasant bad-hygiene odours?

NAIT also needs to realize that by not enforcing this, they are creating a breeding ground for resentment towards groups that are not partaking in basic hygiene practices. They are also creating spaces for other students where they feel extremely unpleasant. (Like, nauseatingly unpleasant. I've unwillingly gagged.)

Here's what I suggest from all of you:

  1. Contact NAITSA ([asknaitsa@nait.ca](mailto:asknaitsa@nait.ca)) about wanting NAIT to enforce a hygiene rule. Let them know how you feel about other student's hygiene, and how it affects your learning.
  2. Contact/CC NAIT Administration as well about this being an issue. CC your program chair as well.
  3. Advocate for campus-wide initiatives about basic hygiene, the importance of it, and how your hygiene affects others (yes, some people are vastly uneducated about this). This includes, showering, using deodorant, washing your clothes, brushing your teeth, and flossing.
  4. Enforce it, by allowing students to submit complaints about bad hygiene, and having NAIT administration making this a policy about decent behaviour. (The same way provocative clothing, vulgar/loud behaviour, and abusive language is not tolerated)
  5. Do a discovery/study that determines if their student population has adequate access to showers, hygiene products, and laundry service. (you'd be surprised r/SlumlordsCanada)

In my personal opinion, it is NAIT"s responsibility to enforce this. To maintain a certain standard of what we expect from each other, we do need to be vocal and make it known when we feel certain boundaries are not being enforced.

I'm debating starting a petition for NAIT to address this issue. Please let me know in the poll below if you'd like to see an official change.org petition made for this. Voting closes in a week.

I wanted to make this post to raise this as a formal issue, so we can remain productive about it and not devolve into finger pointing and unproductive comments. Let's hope together we can make the change we want to see.

Help [Physics 30 at NAIT] - Difficult Instructor

4 Upvotes

Has anyone had this experience with a Physics 30 instructor at NAIT?
I usually love physics and he has mentioned quite a few times that he has great reviews and a high average, but I’m struggling to see how that is.

- He skips over topics, explains stuff very briefly and surface level, very rarely writes notes, half does a problem then moves on.

- He goes through at least 2 classes worth of topics each day and when we don’t have labs he just cancels classes rather than using them to make his RUSHED classes a bit less rushed (it feels like he just wants the day off).

- For an example of how rushed it is, we finished our second unit today and we’re moving onto the 3rd unit tomorrow but the 2nd unit exam isn’t until next Friday..?

- We do “collaborative quizzes” every week where he doesn’t speak at all and us students help eachother, plus one day a week is dedicated to labs, so we really only have 2 days of class a week. Then if we have questions from the collaborative quiz we need to ask within 30 seconds of the next class starting (yes he actually says 30 seconds and if you aren’t able to send a screenshot of the question within those 30 seconds he gets frustrated— not mean but frustrated)

- He acts like it’s a massive favour that he gave us a Unit review booklet (that a classmate asked for)… and he didn’t even review it with us he got us to do it as… you guessed it a “collaborative quiz” 😂
And that was the Friday before the first unit exam so we did absolutely no review with him and he was literally asking us to thank him saying he’s not humble.

And so much more but I’ll leave it there..

I’ve been teaching myself everything and his classes have just been a waste of 2 hours a day.

Anyways, if you’ve potentially had him/someone similar to him study tips would be greatly appreciated since I’m doing this on my own🥲

Question Choosing EMR courses

Hello, I am enrolling in the EMR program this November and looking for some from previous students who took and pass the program at Nait. I saw on the Nait website that it recommends that students can do OHSC 160 and EMRE 160 at the same time. Is it possible to do ITMS 100 and ANPH 100 at the same time like the previous two courses? I am interested in fast tracking the program.

Help Looking for film/media student to shoot a small mushroom farm build out

5 Upvotes

Hi friends,
I’m the owner of a small local business that grows gourmet mushrooms for farmers markets and restaurants and teaching workshops.

I’m moving the business into a little 400sqft space just south of edmonton this week and would love to document the process of building it out, securing sales etc in an entertaining video series format for youtube as well as TikTok and instagram.

I’m bootstrapping this business solo so i don’t have a massive budget at the moment but I can offer a flat fee or per hour fee for your work.

This could be an opportunity to have a very unique and interesting subject to film.

As my “creative director” you will have the freedom to build the set from the ground up.
From setting the scene and shooting the content to editing and finalising. I really want people who have their own unique creative vision and a passion for bringing it to life.
Also if driving is a constraint for you i’d happily offer to drive you as well, to and from the mushroom farm building.

if this interests you and you’d like to go for a coffee shoot me a dm and we’ll figure something out !
