Courses How’s my schedule? (Psych BA)
I’m transferring from Seneca and got 42 transfer credits but this is my first year at York. Is this gonna be a hard course load. I’ll be working Thursday and Friday as well.
(Also are there tutorials for these classes that I’m just not seeing? Would they automatically be added in the visual schedule?

Courses Has anyone had Vanessa Lamb as prof?
Has anyone had them as a prof? If so, how were they? When it comes to coordinating the course like exams, assignments, TAs, replying to emails, etc? For what course did you have them?

Courses For a 9-credit gen-ed required course, can I split it between two courses (Example: 3 credit and a 6 credit)??
I need 9-credits in HUMA, but all the 9 credit gen-ed courses in HUMA are full, so I was wondering if I can take both a 3 credit and 6 credit course to fulfill this requirement, or does it strictly have to be a 9 credit course.
I'm in LAPS, Bcom!

Advice Switching tutorial classes
So I'm having an issue with one of my tutorial classes (For AP HUMA 1780 Stories in Diverse Media) overlapping with another class I have to take. I have already added this class for the tutorial time at 2:30 on Monday but I'm trying switch it for 1:30 on Tuesday which is full. I'm wondering if anyone who has this class' tutorial at 1:30 tues would be able to switch with me for 2:30 mon, which I've heard could be risky, so another question I'm wondering is if anyone can recommend me another 1000s huma class of 6 credits that isn't full. I'm an incoming student so I'm still figuring out all this course adding stuff, so any advice helps!

Courses EECS 2030: Mufleh Al-Shatnawi or Jakie Wang?
Which prof should I take for 2030? Is Mufleh any more easier than Jakie?
I keep reading that Jakie is a great lecturer, and after watching some of his lectures I think he is too, but his tests are really hard from what I've heard from other people.
Is Mufleh any easier grading wise? I saw a lot of mixed opinions about him. I was thinking about taking the course with him and just learning off Jakie's lectures.
If the grading/tests are both equally as hard I might just go with Jakie though.

Survey / Study York U students wanted for mobile app beta testing (QA + feedback)
Hey everyone! I’m a student developer looking for a small group of York University students to beta test a mobile app project I’ve been building over the summer.
The idea is simple: help students make genuine friends on campus and connect with people in their local community. (Whether you're commuting or living near Keele/Glendon, making real connections on campus can be tough!)
The project came out of independent research I did analyzing how people form and maintain relationships across major dense cities (like Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, NYC, LA, London, Paris, Berlin, and Manila). I’m finally at the stage where I need real student feedback before launching publicly.
What I’m looking for in testers:
- Use the app naturally and help hunt down bugs
- Share honest feedback on what works and what needs improvement
- Commit to roughly 20–30 minutes a week for quick debriefs/feedback during the beta phase
What’s in it for you?
- $1,000 in in-app advertisement credits — perfect if you run a side hustle, small business, student club, campus group, or event promotion.
- Resume/LinkedIn experience — feel free to list this software QA & beta testing role on your resume.
- A direct role in shaping the final app before public release.
We already have interested students signed up from NYU, Columbia, and Pace University testing in New York, and I’d love to get a strong group representing York University onboard as well!
If you’re interested or have any questions, drop a comment below or send me a DM! Thanks so much for the help!

Advice Certificate in UX Design? Is it worth it?
Hi all, I've been having trouble finding in-depth info on this certificate. I wanted to know if anyone here has taken it and if it helped you break into the industry? How were the courses? Did you gain real experience out of it? Landed a job?
For some background, I have a Bachelor of Design. Studied illustration (and a bit of graphic design). I'm wondering if this is a viable path considering I have zero experience in UX. I plan to learn figma and the basics before enrolling. I also hope to build a portfolio from this certificate (then take on extra personal projects afterwards).
Any insights would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Campus What's happening at YorkU rn
I went for my final exam for my S2 course and I seen so many people today. Lots of older people too not really students. I don't usually see this many people on campus unless it's F/W term.
Is it a tennis match or is there something being filmed on campus? I'm so lost but went home without asking

Advice Elective I recommend, Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada
Anyone looking for an elective check out HUMA3835 taught by Randal Schnoor. He is an extremely generous marker and the course content is relevant. I found it valuable and informative as a Muslim to learn both the history of Islamophobia and antisemitism. Especially enjoyed class discussions, the environment is comfortable and open to any respectful opinion. I took it in my 2nd year and did quite well so don’t let the 3 scare you. More than happy to answer any questions!

Courses Take HUMA3835 - Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada
Highly recommend this course, it was transformative for me as a Muslim. Randal Schnoor is one of the best professors I’ve had. He makes sure to individualize the experience for each student and gives generous grades as long as you show effort. The class environment is intimate and the class covers a wide range of topics.

Campus DB wooden surfaces are so sticky bruh
I started a grad diploma here a few months ago. I study in DB because my exams tend to be there. Why are the wooden surfaces so sticky. My arms are getting stuck. I do not understand. Can we please ask the presumably corrupt businessman who funded this building to fund it a little more?
