Useful Links Around Campus

Summer is drawing to an end and I had a fabulous year here on the Blogsquad. A shoutout to my fellow bloggers and Humaira: you guys made the experience awesome! This may be my last post as my “tenure” here draws to an end. Feel free to comment on all the old posts – I check them regularly!

Here’s a batch of links I’ve bookmarked over the months that were helpful. Hope it helps you in some way or another.

Best Places to Nap on the UBC Campus – an awesome list for the sleepier ones amongst us, compiled by Humaira

Grade Distribution and Curves for UBC Classes – this is an absolute GOLDMINE. You can check all the grades for past classes here. This is as reliable as you can get! You will never have to wonder whether a prof is easy or not or how many A’s he or she hands out! It gives highest, lowest, passing rate, average, total attendance etc.

UBC Rate My Profs – y’all should know this already. Take every comment here about profs with a grain of salt!

UBC LEAP – “We Help You Learn” is the perfect for LEAP (Learning Enhancement Academic Partnership Program). This huge site has everything you need for academic survival and beyond. Check it out! On a sidenote, I actually worked on part of the site with the awesome folks over at Student Development and the Office of Learning Technology for the majority of the summer!

An Ancient Guide to Climbing Almost Every Building on the UBC Campus – Caution: try at your own risk. I thought this was hilarious.

The Ubyssey – our official newspaper! Lookin’ gorgeous after a makeover this summer. Keep up-to-date with campus news.

UBC Blogsquad – of course 😀 Don’t forget everyone in my blogroll!

I wish everyone an exciting and fruitful school year. Keep in touch.
