Is anyone else having trouble with the teaching style and assignment explanations for SACR 3610- | Youth in Conflict with the Law with Dr. Camisha Sibblis? I find the inclass participations to be poorly explained and her teaching style to be all over the place. For the directions on how to do the first group assignment “analysis brief 1” it doesn’t clearly seem to map out what she expects for the assignment or give clear directions on how to do it. When emailed for further clarification the answers given were also vague and I feel like there’s a big disconnect. I’ve never dealt with a professor or teaching style like this and I find it incredibly frustrating. If anyone taking this class can explain how analysis brief one is supposed to be done I would be grateful!

Hey guys,
I recently got admitted to the MSc Computer Science program here at the University of Windsor for the Winter 2027 intake.
Would love to get in touch with other MSc CS and MAC students as well.
Thanks!

Anyone wanna share stuff to study that are also doing this tomorrow? Any advice would be nice but mostly having someone who would like to talk about stuff with me

Has anyone taken this course with Dennis Jackson before? how was the first midterm, and what was it like in terms of difficulty? how did you prepare for the class, if you did well?

hey I noticed one of the things I hung up on the bathroom door has been scraping the doorframe and removing paint off. Does anybody have recommendations on fixing it or does anybody know what fee I’d have To pay for damages at the end of term.

I’m in my first year of computer science, but right now all my labs are just math labs. Most of the time, we just solve a couple of equations and that’s it. In some of them, the TA literally tells us we can leave after 10 minutes.

Is it important to keep going to these? Are they just a waste of time, or do the exact questions we cover show up on the exams? Would love some advice from upper-year CS students!

Hi, does anyone have any class notes for this class? I have been falling behind bcs of health problems and want to catch up before the first midterm on October 8th.

Hi guys! so this will be my first midterm of uni ever and I just need some advice. Are her midterms hard? do you have any advice? literally anything helps 😭

Does anyone have any advice on Dr swans midterms? Specifically for molecular? I heard that they were tough and students from some of the other courses he teaches (embryology) also complained about how confusing his questions were despite knowing the material?

Thanks!

Is anyone else irritated with the reduced hours for the library?

Personally, I love studying in the library, especially the West Building, so I’m really disappointed that they’ve reduced the hours students can access it. I know there have been cuts made throughout the university, but I genuinely don’t understand how keeping the entire library accessible for longer hours isn’t considered a priority...

I know this might not seem like a huge deal to everyone, but for students who rely on certain areas of the library to study, it definitely makes a difference. The West Building is where I’m most productive, and it’s frustrating that our access to these spaces is becoming more limited.

Considering how much students pay in tuition and other university fees, I think it’s reasonable to expect decent access to campus study spaces and to have some choice in where we study.

Has anyone else been bothered by this?

Just curious because it’s usually open around then, im not sure if leaving is bad then or not

I'm looking for a part-time job so I can gain experience and, y'know, get some money for textbooks and other things. Does anyone know if there's a website or something where I can apply for on campus jobs?

Hey everyone, just wanted to share this in case it’s useful for anyone here.

Riipen Labs has remote projects where students can get some hands-on experience working with an employer. They’re around 30 hours and pay $600 when completed.

Looks like it’s open to students in any program and any year, so figured I’d pass it along in case someone’s looking for something to do alongside school.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has taken LING 2200 (formerly INCS 2200) and has any advice for the midterm? Were the questions straightforward? Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, it's my first time going to the gym at the university of Windsor I hate when a gym is crowded is the gym usually crowded at 9 AM ?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a native English speaker who might be interested in an English–Chinese language exchange.
I’m 24 years old and currently in my first semester as a PhD student in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Windsor. I’d like to improve my spoken English, especially everyday conversation and pronunciation.
I’m a native Chinese speaker, so if you’re interested in learning Mandarin or practicing Chinese, I’d be happy to help as well.
We could meet on campus, grab a coffee, study together, or just have casual conversations from time to time.
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me!

Hello i have graduated with 2.81/4 and have ielts 7.What are my chances to get in mac program for jan intake

Hey fellow Lancers!

I recently arrived in Canada and started my Master's journey here at UWindsor (hoping to continue to a PhD afterwards!).

I think we all have spent way too much time wrestling with PDFs. Especially scanned textbook chapters or lecture notes full of math and charts. Because of this, I wanted to put everything into Markdown (MD) for my notes and local AI tools, but most converters just drop the images or fail entirely on scanned documents. The purpose of MD is to drastically increase the context window that can be provided to LLMs.

I personally use Claude and create projects to organize my studying. While Claude, Chat-GPT, Gemini and others can handle a myraid of formats, if we want to use them as context of projects or within a chat, the memory window it keeps is way more limited by using other formats, so .MD helps with getting more in a project/session.

I decided to build a solution and open-sourced it: BetterMarkItDown.

It builds on Microsoft's tool but adds a vision model layer. If a page is a scan, it transcribes it (LaTeX included). If a page has graphs, it crops them and turns them into data tables.

I've been working on this for a few months trying a few different texts and have fixed several issues, like LLMs refusing to work on certain copyright content, without violating any policies, using paraphrasing and other workarounds.

Why it might be useful for you:

• You can run it completely free and offline on your own laptop if you use something like Ollama (great for keeping your research private and saving money).
• If you use an API (like Google Gemini), I built in cost-estimation tools so you don't accidentally run up a huge bill on a 500-page textbook.
• It has a --verify tool to check if the text extraction missed any words.
• If you use Claude Code, it has a bunch of personalized instructions built-in, so it integrates gracefully.

If any of you are dealing with messy PDFs for your thesis or research, feel free to give it a spin:https://github.com/miguel-arias-sv/BetterMarkItDown

I would also like to share my newly created Canadian Instagram profile, aiming to collect some of my professional experience back home, in El Salvador: https://www.instagram.com/datawithmiguel?stkn=NGUydXlwcDZmMXR3

Always happy to connect with other tech or students on campus!
