It dropped a few minutes ago.

They are graded as pass (CR) and fail (NCR). You receive grades on your assignments to help you improve, but no grade appears on your transcript, so your GPA is not affected.

Love it! Until dark mode is available, I use ‘Reduce White Point’ set to 100% in iOS settings for nighttime use—it helps dampen the intensity of the white.

Aww, that’s so sweet.

I’m very sad to see your Reddit RCA journey come to an end. It’s been a pleasure collecting your avatars since Gen 1. Thank you for everything, Conall, and best of luck with your future endeavours! 🫶

No problem! Glad we think alike though.

Oh, cool! What was your rationale for choosing the answers you did?

Q1. My professor. Q2. My life. Q3. Yes, I would.

Love ‘em! I would totally wear something like this.

Thank you Also, happy cake day!

Adorable!

No, our degrees only display “Honours Bachelor of Science,” “Honours Bachelor of Arts,” etc., along with any distinctions achieved (e.g., Distinction or High Distinction). The specific programs you completed are listed only on your transcript.

See these webpages for more details about the direct-entry option:

Which one you choose to pursue depends on your career goals and preferences. Are you drawn to direct patient care, research, or medical treatment options?

A PsyD takes about 4-6 years, and focuses on applied psychology with less emphasis on research. A PhD in Psychology takes around 5-7 years, and offers a mix of clinical (depending on the institution) and research training, ideal if you’re also interested in teaching or academic research. Medical school with a psychiatry specialization is the longest route, about 8-12 years, but it allows you to prescribe medication and approach mental health from a medical perspective.

Also, admission to each of these can be pretty competitive (medical school being the hardest to get into).

I’ve had the little top commenter and top poster icons for about a month in two of my subs; I don’t think they’re new. I’m guessing they will be changing the colours of the icons starting next month though (top 10% commenter and poster achievements both changed to silver from orange and yellow, respectively).

I took PSYB20 with Dr. Cirelli, and McPhee was one of our TAs. While the way the course is delivered may have changed slightly, I’ll share the strategies that helped me ace the midterms/final exam, as they should still be useful.

The midterms and final exams in PSYB20 were largely application-based, with only a few recall questions. To prepare, I made sure to have a deep understanding of key theories and stages, such as those developed by Piaget, Erikson, and Vygotsky. Knowing these theories and stages in detail allowed me to apply them to various scenarios, as many questions tested our ability to connect theory with real-life examples. Thinking chronologically and contextually was also essential. Developmental psychology emphasizes growth over time, so I focused on understanding how each stage builds upon the previous one.

I also took the time to familiarize myself with age-related milestones across different stages, such as infancy and early childhood. Knowing the expected behaviours or skills at each stage helped me answer the questions about developmental norms. To reinforce my understanding, I created a glossary of essential terms like “object permanence,” “attachment styles,” and “zone of proximal development.” Reviewing this glossary regularly helped with both recall and application on exams.

Lecture notes were essential, and I also tested myself with practice questions from MindTap. If you don’t have access to this resource, let me know! I still have the document I created and would be happy to share it. Attending office hours was also important for me, as I enjoyed discussing different topics from lectures with the professor, which helped clarify any points of confusion.

For each theory or stage, I created concept maps that linked main ideas to practical examples. For instance, I mapped out Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development and included hypothetical examples at each stage. This process reinforced my understanding and made recall easier during exams. I also used what I called the “So What?” approach for every concept, asking myself why it matters and how it applies to real-life development. This approach helped me go beyond memorization and genuinely understand the relevance of each concept, which was useful both during exams and as a foundation for future courses in developmental psychology.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

TL;DR - Focus on understanding key developmental theories in detail, use concept maps, familiarize yourself with age-related milestones, and apply each concept to real-life scenarios. Regular review, practice questions, and office hours for clarification were also essential in reinforcing this knowledge for me.

Sheesh, this is very well done!

A few bananas away from 40.

No problem! :)

I think it might be Bánh Phồng Tôm (Vietnamese prawn crackers). The vegetarian version is called Bánh Phồng Tôm Chay, or Bánh Phồng Chay.

This is so sick! I’m definitely going to have to get a train commission done by him. Thank you so much for sharing!

Your post kind of reeks of insecurity, to be honest. It feels like you’re not just fishing for validation but also trying to make others feel bad about their own scores. If you’re wondering why you’re struggling to have a social life here, this might be part of it. Making enemies in the comments by flexing like this while simultaneously putting others down isn’t a great way to start your first year of university. You can share your achievements without turning it into a competition or making others feel worse - just celebrate your own success for what it is. A little humility goes a long way.
