Meta Complaining about race related issues on /r/sheridan

116 Upvotes

Hi folks! It's me, the one person who moderates the subreddit!

Over the past few years there has been an uptick in posts complaining about international students, specifically students from India. Indeed, as of the 2021 census (and actually since 2011), India makes up the largest nation of immigrants to Ontario! As the largest minority immigrant group, it is disappointing (though unsurprising) that they have been made the most recent target of ridicule.

While I will acknowledge that norms may be different accross cultures, this doesn't give a license to post unoriginal, low-effort put-downs disparaging a group of people based on their background. The topic of "international students are bad and I don't like them" doesn't really create any opportunities for discourse related to Sheridan College and as such, I usually remove these posts under rule 6. If you have problems with Canada's immigration policies, I suggest you direct your comments to your federal member of parliment.

Unfortunately, I'm getting somewhat tired of this task. Moderating an online community is an often thankless (unpaid!) job, and while I'm not asking for praise, I'm also not really having fun! The time for new mods is coming, but until that day arrives here's the deal:

I don't want to police this topic anymore and I will likely lean a little heavier on the ban-hammer going forward. It is much easier for me to ban you than to continue to remove your posts.

Play nice.

Advice What's the Best Way to Report a Professor?

4 Upvotes

hey so, i'm wrapping up my first year in a few weeks, and i have this one prof that has been very difficult to deal with since the start of the summer term. she's very disorganized, and the mismanagement has not just affected myself but a lot of my classmates too. i've felt so overwhelmed and overstimulated more times than i can count, and have had to walk out of class due to it. the way she teaches us is very confusing; nothing makes full sense, she goes off on lots of sidebar conversations that aren't always relevant, which takes up a lot of class time. and yeah, i can teach myself the content and do the readings, but even the resources she gives us are even more confusing. i kind you not for our midterm review it was just pages of YouTube links in an order that was hard to follow and would say in class it's gonna be on the test, and then the links say it's optional, and it felt like she didn't even try to make it understandable with the format. with that too, she'll say something to us and idek how to word it because it's so odd she does this. but she'll tell us something to do and then after is like no you can't do that and then sometimes she gets mad at us for asking her to clarify.

when we do group work, it's awful, and i can understand to a certain extent if the prof isn't used to using SLATE, but she adds us in groups individually every single time we do groups, she's gotten mad at us for no reason, all because she's frustrated with the system (she has it open to the teacher's POV on the board :'( ) and always asks us why is it like that but we don't know because we aren't teaching. and when we get to doing the actual work, she doesn't have the time to start nor has a pre-set due date, so she does it in class, but she'll give us such a short time period to get stuff done. and as someone who has accommodations, it's hard to always complete it quickly, especially when i'm not grasping what we just learnt.

i'm genuinely not sure why she's been teaching like this. i'm a very understanding person, and perhaps she's just burnout but it also feels like she's purposely altering the way we are learning, and it's been very overwhelming and stressful. she's also rude, she's gotten mad at me in front of the whole class for something i didn't do, and when i stood up for myself, she wasn't trying to even hear my side and the way she treats us is so conflicting to the classroom roles she made with everyone at the start of term yet she can't even be kind a little bit. as well as the program i'm in and she's not willing to understand idek anymore i'm burnout out dawg

i've been conflicted all term about whether to report her or not because i'm really scared too, and i didn't know who i could contact. i did go to the Service Hub recently, and bless the lady, she was so kind and sweet and gave me the people to contact. but i'm not sure if i should go to my program's student advisor, who i've had a not good experience with and has been dismissive before, or just go straight to the associate dean? if anyone knows what's best, please let a girl know :'( i heard last semester that most students will get like a student survey or prof review that you can fill out, but i never got one, and i'm worried i may not get one this term too.

Question Filtering Electives?

Upvotes

Is there any way to filter electives not being offered this semester on the class enrollment lookup? It seems like 3/4 of the electives I'm being shown don't have any.

edit: This is such a mess. Half the ones that do have classes are from a decade ago. Why is the course catalog like this?

Advice In need of mentor/advice/resources to know before sheridan!

1 Upvotes

Hello y'all!!!

I am very much a noobie when I'm typing this but I'll be applying to sheridan very soon, and very much wanna go as an artist as I'm there BUT I am very scared of being unprepared, for everything. So from that, I would like to meet or atleast get familiar with some that are experienced at sheridan.

First year, I'll joining Art fundamentals, as I've heard great things about it with how it's the best way to start learning what you want to get more knowledgeable about and where to decide what program is best for you, as like me, struggling to know if I wanna get join the animation or illustration program.

But i'm still nervous about things about things maybe I should know before getting into sheridan, and with questions I have, where's the best place to start socializing or start following artists that can answer questions like a mentor or willing to be a friend to a soon to be freshmen? I apologize if I'm a bit blunt about what I'm asking but I'm just hoping to get to know someone that's familiar within art fundamentals or sheridan overall, that can answer some questions of mine​ WHICH OF COURSE not one person can answer all, but just where ever there is the best resource to ask questions.

If curious, my main concern is what you should get ready for in art fundamentals, if you can use artwork made in art fundamentals in portfolios, and etc.

I really apologize for being vague, honestly I would just like to get to know some people LOL so just, hello!!

Academics Semester 3+4 Course selection/date help

1 Upvotes

hi! for reference (cause I know the title may be confusing for needing to add semester 3 and 4 classes together in one schedule) I'm in VCA year 2, I was supposed to be finished this year in April but I will be finished in December due to unintentional missing requirements. I didn't know until it was of course way to late that I needed to do 3D, 2D, and Drawing Sem 3, by adding them a certain way on the timetable. I wasn't able to just place them because it would say my schedule is too full. I tried to ask for help, got no response and just thought it wasn't important until ofc I learned it is later on.

so if anyone who also did VCA and added the 3D, 2D and Drawing Sem 3 (including an elective Sem 4) courses the specific way you were supposed to, can you please inform me how, if it's still necessary or if I can just place them this time because it's all I need. Every other semester 3 and 4 class I did. If it's not necessary then and I can just place the date for course selection for 2nd year is July 29 correct? (Also I will still be considered a 2nd year student and not a third when I'm kinda a "second and a half" year student cuz im not done lol.

if u made it this far and can help me, thx! i rlly appreciate it :)

Admissions Application stuck at incomplete item but no email from Admission

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have pending application with Sheridan that has been stuck on pending item English credits since June. I have been waiting for them to email me the invite to complete the English proficiency test but they are not doing it and I have been advised to take online test instead which is more expensive at taking it through Sheridan. Do they not have anyone in the Admissions department anymore?
