I had my exam on Wednesday August 8th in the morning. I heard that grades will start to appear on goSFU on the Aug 10th. Do grades come out faster in the summer term? Is there a possibility for grades to appear during weekends as well? This is the first time I am taking courses in a summer term at SFU so I do not know what to expect. From your experience, when will my grade come out?

Thank you for your help!

Thing is, I don't know where to look. Some help please?

So, I'm wondering, what tips do people have - either from making one yourself or from the hiring end... what do you suggest to put on there or to leave out? Especially if you have ever been a hiring manager, what were the most successful resumes made of?]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2423/eagles-hotel-california Tue, 14 Aug 2007 16:55:48 +0000 Simon604 2423@/forum/discussions

Here are reasons why we evolved: Our instincts are closely tied with animals. Example, the flight or fight reaction to danger is quite carnal. We all have carnal desires that surpasses our rational human thinking: The need to survive, to procreate. Hostility and sexuality are two human traits that are considerd very animal, and yet as a whole we cannot (Will not) shake these off. It's part of us.

There are some physical reason too. Monkeys (Animals around that gene pool) are incredibly similar to humans in terms of structure, we have hair on our bodies which are useless to us: Proof that we did indeed evolve from hairy creatures, not to mention the coccyx that we all have.

Plus, if creationism was true, then there wouldn't be much diversity in our gene pool, or genetically caused problems.

Against creationism, I just can't imagine a God creating the world in this way, making humans so evil and twisted, and then copping out by saying we've been given free will. If God loved humans and the Earth, he would have made things much different. For a start, nature in itself is evil, because it requires death in order for life to be established. Plus, if the universe was created, then what happend before that time? Was time even there?

The whole movie is about the power of attraction and how you can use it in every day life and actually get what you want. Now this is also a DVD. So if your not big into reading and you want to watch it, it is word for word in the DVD.

But I recommend it for anybody and everybody.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2396/an-f-on-my-transcript-d Fri, 10 Aug 2007 20:51:32 +0000 CMPTgirl 2396@/forum/discussions
I'm posting this because I'm hoping that maybe someone here will be able to answer my question.

Does anyone know what kind of repercussions there are for having an F grade on your transcript? I'm guessing that it shouldn't interfere with my obtaining a degree (and, at least as of now, I don't intend on ever entering graduate school, so I'm not concerned about that either), but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm more worried about what it might mean in terms of my acceptance into co-op. I was planning to try for a co-op placement sometime next year, but I'm sure that this F will be setting me back.

Does anyone know if it will be really difficult for me to get a co-op placement? My overall GPA is still hovering around ComSci's 2.4 minimum, and this F was a serious wake-up call for me, so hopefully I'll have pulled my GPA up by the time I'm ready to apply for co-op.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/1708/has-anyone-thought-about-joining-the-military Tue, 20 Mar 2007 03:30:23 +0000 Simon604 1708@/forum/discussions
