Concordia Philosophy Student Weekly Tabloid Vol. 43
We hope all of you still in Montreal have been enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having! 😎 🌞
Grades from this semester should be released soon, if not already. I already have two of my final grades from the Winter semester. Keep an eye out! You should receive an email when a grade is posted to your academic record. Remember, don’t be afraid to challenge or inquire about a final grade if it doesn’t line up with what you calculated, because professors can make mistakes too.
The summer I & II terms officially starts on May 10th. Unfortunately, the Philosophy department only offers PHIL-210 in the summer, but you can take always classes from your minor / electives / second major if you’re looking for courses in the summer. Or you can take non-credit UDEMY courses, or work towards your FutureBound certificate with FutureBound skill workshops!
New students starting for Fall 2023 can now enroll in classes. If you haven’t done so we recommend you make your schedule now and enroll! Classes can fill up fast.
For senior philosophy students, you can check out the current list of advanced PHIL-4xx offerings for Fall and Winter of the upcoming academic year. Psssst… There’s cool courses on the “Knowledge of Other Minds” in the Fall, and “Democracy and Climate change” in the Winter.
Finally, stay tuned if you’ve submitted to receive the Sheila Mason Bursary, because the winners will be announced soon if not already!
