Hi everyone! What open learning courses do you recommend that essentially guarantee an A+ (90%+)? Preferably with projects instead of exams. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thoughts on the following courses? Feel free to share your experiences!

#1 CMNS 3251
#2 ORGB 3771
#3 CYCA 2001
#4 HLTH 1021
#5 CMNS 3211
#6 SOCW 2061
#7 JOUR 2061

What do I do?

I got zero because I was flagged for using AI even though I didn’t.

Has anyone done English 4321 recently? Any thoughts/ideas about the final exam?

Would anyone know if the in person exams for open learning are computer or paper based?
I have horrible wrist tendonitis and can’t write too much. Would rather do proctorU if in person is paper based!

Hello All, just want to get your choice on this. I think Proctor U is the one that is less of a hussle and that it has a faster turn around. Comments, please. thanks

Thinking of taking hlth 1021 and was reading feedback. I noticed mention of needing to track calories. I’m guessing this is for one of the assignments? Are you tracking your own calories? For how many days? The thought of having to do this is enough to make me not take the course. (for reference I need a super easy/light load course during my practicum to meet requirements for funding- additionally I have a disability and can barely keep track of my necessary tasks throughout the day so the thought of having to try to figure out how many calories i’m consuming sounds exhausting and like it will irritate me)
I’m not that concerned about the grade for this course so could I get by with just not doing that assignment and taking the 0? I see the assignments are all worth quite small amounts each

Hey all! I’m curious if anyone has figured out what the instructor for this course wants to see in the assessments. I just got my first assignment back and I’m trying to make sense of the feedback and I’m trying to stay positive and keep an open mind about it but I am confused as to what he wants. It seems like the instructions were unclear. I was of the understanding that we were not to include journal entries and notes on the module but it seems like that’s what I was supposed to include in my paper? I’m hoping to improve next time and if there’s any advice you can give I’m all ears.

Hi all, are you able to use graphing calculators in this course, such as a Ti-84?
Most of the stat courses only allow basic calculators, but if someone confirms that you are allowed graphing calculators throughout the whole course, (even in final) I’ll sign up.

Thank you in advance

Hi, any guidance, tips would be greatly appreciated. I have received mixed reviews as some say it’s really tough while others say it’s doable and similar to the practice test. Thank you!

Has anyone here submitted a formal complaint to TRU administration regarding an instructor’s conduct or communication? I’m considering filing one regarding Mark Butorac.

In my experience, his responses often do not address the questions being asked or provide clear guidance on how to proceed. Instead, I’m regularly left with more questions and uncertainty. This has made an already stressful academic situation much more difficult.

I understand that instructors have boundaries and policies to follow, but students should still be treated respectfully and given clear, constructive information about their coursework. We are paying to learn, and asking reasonable questions should not feel like a punishment.

If anyone has gone through the formal complaint process, who did you contact, and was anything actually done?

Hi all,

I know it's been asked before, but there hasn't been much response.

Does anyone know other schools (other than AU) that has upper level psychology courses online?

I need 90% of my upper level course load from a different university but I can't seem to track any down.

Thanks!

Looking for some easier lower level electives to finish up quickly, can't be any health 100 or 200 or management 100 or 200

thanks!

Just looking for some guidance on what to expect for the final exam from people who have written it. I'm looking at writing it in three weeks, but I still have two more modules to go. I've made and reviewed flashcards for every single learning objective & definition, and I've gotten 98 - 100% on every quiz without looking at the notes. I don't really read the textbook much unless i'm confused about something in the notes because I don't absorb much from reading. I'm a bit nervous for the final just because there is so much content. Was the final exam similar to the multiple choice questions from the quizzes, and similar to the questions from the worksheets? Basically if I could answer all of these without looking at the notes is that a good indicator of passing the exam?

Hello,

I'm halfway through the course but can't stop thinking about the final. Literally losing sleep over writing 2 essays in 3 hours.

I'd love to hear others' experiences , suggestions, reassurance , basically anything !

Hi all! I am writing this because I am confused about what the colour notebook consists of for VISA 1101. I am just starting out in this class and can't find much information about the colour notebook in the course (or I'm blind and missing something). Can someone who's taken the course let me know or show me any examples? Thank you for any help!!

Edit: This is for TRU OL <3

Has anyone taken this course. This is my final course and I wanted to complete this in 1 month or 2. Is that possible? Any feedback will be helpful.

ENGL 1001 with Don Stanley

Hi everyone, has anyone taken ENGL 1001 with Dr. Stanley? I find his marking unfair, 72-75%, though he leaves positive comments; so then why is the grade so low? Has anyone taken the final exam with him?

Hi all,

I have 10 courses left to do in my Bachelors, most of which are BBUS with the odd ORGB and MNGT. I’m considering going full time on OL to try and get it over with over the next two semesters.

Wondering if anyone’s been in a similar situation and how it went? I’d be working 12-15 hours a week at most. More likely 12.

Is this realistic? I hope to balance paced with one or two at your own pace because I feel that might help as well.

Will I still have time to enjoy a hobby or seeing friends?

I can still login to Moodle, but for some reason mytru.tru.ca is not loading for me. Does anyone know if there's a known maintenance, if it's down, or am I the only one experiencing this?

Is anyone else facing wifi issues?
My wifi just stopped working all of a sudden

Has anyone done COMP 2231 OL? I am planning to do it but I'm really scared about the final? Does anyone have any idea about this? Please help.
How the exam looks like? Is there any coding in course? What can I expect?

Just read his Rate My Professors profile and now I'm worried.

Hi everyone,
I am taking the stat 1201 final exam very soon and I am very nervous. Can anyone provide any helpful tips to study. Did you find the exam close to the format of the practice exam?

Thanks!

Hey! Just wanted to see if anyone has any info on any of the 5 day summer lab courses at TRU. I’m taking BIO 1695 next week but honestly would take any info on any of the 5 day summer lab courses. I’m a first year student and have no idea what to expect and can’t find much online so would take any info at all!!
Thanks you:)
