For those of you who have done an ADHD evaluation specifically with Carleton’s health services, did any of you not get diagnosed with ADHD? Everyone I know of who got an evaluation got the diagnosis, including me. I’m skeptical that I have ADHD. There’s a lot of things much more common than ADHD that can contribute to issues with focus, executive functioning, and impulse control.

I’m wondering if health services overall might be too lax with the diagnostic criteria and not screening enough for other things if literally everyone is getting diagnosed with ADHD. However, I concede there are several possible legit reasons for why diagnosis rates could be high in this setting.

Alternatively, if you did get evaluated and diagnosed by health services, what gave you confidence that the evaluation was adequately thorough and didn’t miss other factors that could contribute to ADHD-like symptoms?

I've been dealing with groupmates who submit what appears to be AI-generated work without properly reviewing it. Some of the material doesn't align with the course content or previous assignments.

It's frustrating because other group members end up spending considerable time correcting or rewriting the work. There's also the concern that unauthorized AI use could create academic-integrity issues for the group.

I've raised my concerns with the professor and provided supporting evidence.

Has anyone at Carleton dealt with something similar? How was it handled? Did the professor or university take meaningful action?

I'm particularly interested in how others protected their own grades and ensured their individual contributions were fairly assessed.

hey!! i’m living in residence this year at carleton and looking to meet some new people!! i’d especially love to meet other girls, but i’m open to anyone :)

i’d love to have people to grab food with, study together, go on walks or hikes, or just hang out around campus with! i’m also trying to get more consistent with the gym, but i’m still pretty new to it and figuring out what i’m doing lol, so having a gym buddy to keep each other motivated and accountable would be really nice!!

going to the dining hall alone can feel a little awkward sometimes lol, so it’d be nice to have people to go with!

i’m into music, fitness, psychology, some anime, and reading. i’d also love to explore ottawa more, try new food spots, go to events or check out the nightlife, or just do random little activities together. i'm pretty open to trying new things!

i know there are clubs and events on campus, but i figured i’d put myself out there here too! sometimes it’s easier to meet people one-on-one or through shared interests, so i’d love to connect with anyone who’s also looking to make friends.

feel free to comment or message me!! ♡

im anxious and im scared of using the gym when its busy so im wondering if its open during reading week

Hey y’all, I’m enrolled in PSCI 2601, and I’m wondering how heavy the final exam is. Was it hard? Lol, a girl’s traumatized.

Hello.

I am kinda confused between Science programs

There are 3 of them named like

-Science – Honours

-Science – Major

- Science – Non-Honours

What is the difference between these 3 science?

also

-Cognitive Science – Honours

-Cognitive Science – Non Honours

What is the difference?

I am applying to Health sci but i am kinda confused between the other 2 program because They offer alternative offer to Science Honours: Biology (Health Science) and Bachelor of Science Honours gives to science so if the alternative is guaranteed I might just apply to 2 program (Health sci and Sci Honours) ans save money

I am also concerned because Only Science Honours gives co-op but none of the others

Please let me know What are the best option for getting in and i dont wanna say (guaranteed) but like high chance of securing spot?

Thanks

I'm currently registered for CLCV 1003 (Laura Gagne) and FILM 1101 (Jake Adam Pitre) for the winter term, but I'm having second thoughts about both.

I know there's no such thing as an effortless A+, but as a CS student, I'd prefer electives that don't take up too much time from my core courses, especially if getting a good grade still requires a lot of effort.

Would you recommend either of these courses? If not, are there any other manageable breadth electives you'd suggest? Preferably ones without essays.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm writing an article for the Charlatan on Daylight Savings Time, its health implications, and other provinces' decision to adopt permanent daylight time. I'm posting here because I would love to interview some student sources, preferably from a mix of provinces like BC, Alberta, or Manitoba where permanent standard time has been adopted as well as from provinces like Ontario, where it hasn't!

If you're interested in an interview, send me a DM and we can arrange one at a time and on a platform that's convenient for you! For accuracy, we ask that if you want to interview, you provide your full name so that the Charlatan can attribute your quotes back to you.

We would love to hear from you!

Hi everyone!

Did anyone pick up a dark brown wallet on campus last week Thursday? It has some bank cards and my ID in it (which i really need). I would have lost it between 1PM and 4PM, in either the Cafeteria or Nicol Building. I checked Lost and Found the next day but because it's Reading Week I thought I'd check if anyone on here saw it or dropped it off. Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: I GOT IT BACK!

I am currently enrolled in a full-year in-person course at Carleton, but due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I may need to move back home for the winter term.

I have already contacted Carleton and was told that I'd have to drop the course if I couldn't continue attending, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever been in a similar situation or knows whether there are any other options.

I'm not necessarily worried about dropping the course, I mainly want to avoid losing the credits I've already been working toward if there's any possible alternative.

I know I'll need to confirm anything official with Carleton, but I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with something similar or knows who I could contact about this. Thanks!

So I have tried to be patient with the campus construction by the Jack hammers start at 6am outside my residence window… I can’t take it anymore. Does anyone know when it will be done? We should get sometime for our troubles as we tolerate the excessive noise…..

Even if you are from another municipality, as long as you are Canadian and at least 18 you can cast a vote.

Tapped my card and it closed early, and couldn’t get in again without a staff help. What’s the time between you have to wait?

Pickup hockey players and goalies wanted. Adult league. 18+. Co-Ed. Friendly non contact fun. Zero tolerance for rough play.

Intermediate to advanced players welcome. This league would be too fast for true beginner players.

Goalies play for free. No commitment. Play as many or as little as you want. Different rinks and times depending on where I can book ice. 3-4 games per week.

I got into both Carleton and UofA for CS and I’m trying to decide between the two (and dal is also in there) since those are my top choices. I LOVED UofA when I saw it, and I’m touring Carleton soon.

Big question that I have is what people actually do other than just straight school. I’m going to be relatively far away from home (I’m from massachusetts, I’m going to Canada because I have citizenship and it’s a lot cheaper than anything in the U.S.) and I don’t want to be miserable and doing nothing but school all the time. Obviously education is the priority but it’s not the only thing I’m considering. I’m big into theatre and stuff, but I like a lot of things and I just want to know generally what people do when they’re not in classes or studying.

Hello! I'm a journalist and student at Carleton. I'm writing a story on endometriosis—specifically having to do with the long wait times for surgery in Canada. If you have any experience with the wait times, or just a gap in health care for people with endometriosis, I would love to speak with you. Send me a message!

I'm a journalism student at Carleton journalist with Capital Current doing a story on a recent increase in motorcyle accidents in Ottawa. Looking to speak with a motorcylist who has gotten in an accident in Ottawa for my story! Message me if you would like to chat.

Most of my classes have peer evaluations. Every class each pulled their weight on group projects. One of the classes has 10% of mark alloted to this but also says can leave a couple sentences or just a score. If I just leave scores, will it affect this 10% or do I need to add comments for full marks.
