Question How does the psychology arts program work in UBC
Hi, I am a current high school senior and I would like some advice on how the psychology arts program works. I want to head to med school after undergrad and i know that doing the science program is probably better but I know calculus and the heavy math would bring my GPA down which is very crucial for med school.
So I am thinking of taking psychology arts (cuz im stronger in writing and English) and then have fundamental MCAT courses like bio, chem and physics as electives, alongside sociology. I just want to know if it is a realistic pathway.🙂
Thank you

Rant BUGS in my EYES, BUGS in my EARS, BUGS in my HAIR make it stoppp
i HATE these annoying little gnats that just hover in the air and stick to me. How are they so dumb and incapable that the moment they touch you they're stuck forever??? How does that even survive natural selection? You'll just be walking somewhere on campus and feel a little tickle and try to wipe it off and oh, its dead and smeared on my skin now.
I was outside for literally 20 minutes. I had a bug stuck in my eyebrow, one inside my ear and one lodged under my eyelid. There's probably more that I can't even see in the mirror
rant over

GYM Lot Parking Machine
Why does the card machine always malfunction. Like if you expect users to pay, at least make sure it is operational.

Question Alarm clock failed — slept way in, what do I do?
It has been a few minutes since I woke up only to realize my alarm clock became a push notification with no sound (silent mode was not on, and the phone was on max volume) and sleep mode for some reason made all of my other alarms silent until I clicked the notification. Now I missed two classes, including one that I am really struggling in and really need more help in. What should I do?

COSC 344
If anyone’s taken this course previously - are the python coding assignments directly relevant? (i.e tested on quizzes, midterms, finals?)
In most of my previous COSC courses, coding assignments weren’t directly tested, and i was better off studying theory. Any idea if this one is similar?
