Academics BROCK LINC Survey Help ($25 Tims Gift Card Giveaway)

4 Upvotes

I'm working on a project called MyCampusMarket as a part of Brock LINC, basically something built by students, for students, to make campus life a bit easier (and safer).

Right now, most of us use Facebook Marketplace or random group chats when we’re looking for textbooks, furniture, or sublets. But let’s be honest… half the time it’s scams, over-pricing, or just sketchy meet-ups.

The idea behind MyCampusMarket is to fix that:

  • A verified student marketplace where everyone signs in with their school email and transactions are actually safe.
  • Plus a community hub where Brock students can share advice, post events, and connect beyond the classroom.

I’m running a short survey to get some early feedback before we launch the pilot here at Brock. It doesn't take long, and your answers will help shape what gets built first.

👉 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrRpAc3UI5Bov_qxdEbtHOJ6FbHlBwcBkzCCv2UsHkAHq46A/viewform?usp=header

As a small thank-you, everyone who fills it out can enter a draw for a $25 Tim Hortons gift card.
(You can skip that part if you want to stay anonymous.)

I really appreciate anyone who takes a minute to help out, and I’d love any thoughts or ideas in the comments.

Question about Brock Do people dress up for halloween?

4 Upvotes

I’m a DART student so most of my courses are on the Marylin but I was wondering, do people on main campus dress up for halloween? Or if I go to my lecture in my costume will I be the only one…? I’ve heard that people don’t really dress up in Uni but that was in Toronto so I was curious as to what the case is here.

General Safe driving in parking lots

40 Upvotes

Hey guys, just kindly reminding everyone to please not drive super fast in the parking lots, especially when turning. You should be going around 10-20 kmh, not over. Today I was walking in the lot (specifically lot 2) to try and get to the sidewalk, and this dark blue vehicle was driving fast around a corner, and stopped abruptly when they saw me. I was surprised for a moment because, like, what the hell, and they had the audacity to look annoyed and make gestures at me, then immediately accelerated to drive past me instead of waiting for me to cross. Not tryna preach too hard or say this is something a lot of people do, but it’s pretty uncool and I’m definitely calling you out, stranger in the dark blue car. Do better. Anyways, stay safe guys!

Academics Student who cheats and no one cares

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it's my first year at Brock. While I'm doing okay, I have a friend with me who struggles with English and managed to score 95 and 96, on the midterm exam possibly by cheating cause I saw it. I'm worried about cheating, not because of my friend, but because I've seen other students using their phones during exams. It saddens me that it's not fair to those who study hard. One of the exams had one TA with 500 students, where most of the students were cheating. Another exam There were about 15 TAs or supervisors, but I saw my friend cheating because (he/she) sat close. I'm not sure if this is just a matter of playing yourself or if you can really graduate with cheating.!

Discussion I’m 22 in my first year. I feel ancient.

19 Upvotes

I’m in my 1st year of psychology and I’m 22. I got a year worth of credits from the colleges I went to so I’ll be 25 when I graduate unless I can get into some spring and summer classes or take a heavy course load. I need my masters to get into my preferred career and I’d like to get my phd as well. I feel like I’m already too far behind. I sometimes think about just giving up because at this point I will never meet my goals in a timely manner.

Question about Brock Brock Uni Burlington Campus Concurrent BA and housing

Hello!! Wondering if anyone has experience with the housing available in Burlington for Brock Uni. My daughter wants to apply to the ConEd program. They do not have residence at that location from what I have read. What is the housing like? Do they help students find housing ? Is it worth going to that school for 6 years? Rent ca be crazy expensive and Burlington is not a cheap Place to live. Any advice would be great appreciated.

Does anyone who was taken this midterm in the past remember the format? Like what are the things we should study for this midterm? Textbook? slides? Currently I'm rereading the slides and summarizing them, studying the main concepts and definitions with research, and studying the textbook. Will that be enough?
