(Translated by Google) If you plan to study in a science program offered at another university, do not go to UQAM. Half of the teachers don't get bored with the lectures, the only course notes consist of Power Point that they read in class. Expect to endure at least one misogynistic professor. I had problems with a lab partner and instead of taking on the role of mediator, this professor encouraged my partner to blackmail me into being disadvantaged in the written report. I have never experienced such injustice before. I filed a complaint only to be told that the only possible solution was a grade review. The worst science teacher is the one who oversees internships from year to year. I got an internship in a reputable company only to be told halfway through that my internship didn't do the trick according to UQAM's requirements If this internship didn't meet the criteria, why did it signed an internship agreement?! I was not only delayed for a semester because I had to find a new internship, but I also alienated this company which was ready to hire me after my internship. This supervisor gave me little guidance in finding a new internship. After several months without finding anything, he suggested that I do a research project in his laboratory under the supervision of one of his students. I had no other choice to graduate. He had promised me a coach to help me with my research project; Well, the latter abandoned me barely 2 weeks after joining their laboratory. I was taken with a subject which is worth absolutely nothing on a CV and which was apparently the expertise of my supervisor, which earned me the minimum passing mark of 60% since I was not as savvy as him in this subject. Moreover, during the seminar for future graduates, I learned that a student in my cohort had done exactly the same internship as me initially in a biopharma company. How come his internship met the requirements and mine did not? I would also like to mention that it was this same supervisor who accused me of cheating in an exam for another course but since he had no evidence to support it, he could only give me a bad mark. (Original) Si vous comptez tudier dans un programme en sciences qui est offert une autre universit, nallez surtout pas lUQAM. La moiti des professeurs ne se font pas ch*er avec les cours magistraux, les seules notes de cours consistent de Power Point quils lisent en classe. Attendez-vous endurer au moins un professeur misogyne. Jai eu des problmes avec un partenaire de laboratoire et au lieu de prendre le rle de mdiateur, ce professeur a encourag mon partenaire de me faire du chantage pour que je sois dsavantage dans le rapport crit. Je nai jamais vcu une telle injustice auparavant. Jai port plainte pour finalement me faire dire que la seule solution possible tait une rvision de notes. Le pire professeur des sciences est celui qui supervise les stages dune anne lautre. Jai obtenu un stage dans une entreprise rpute pour me faire dire mi-chemin que mon stage ne faisait pas laffaire selon les exigences de lUQAM Si ce stage ne respectait pas les critres, pourquoi a-t-il sign une entente de stage?! Jai non seulement t retarde dun semestre puisquil fallait me trouver un nouveau stage, mais jai galement mis dos cette compagnie qui tait prte mengager aprs mon stage. Ce superviseur ma peu guid dans la recherche dun nouveau stage. Aprs plusieurs mois sans rien trouver, il ma suggr de faire un projet de recherche dans son laboratoire sous la tutelle dune de ses tudiants. Je nai pas eu dautres choix pour graduer. Il mavait promis une coach pour maider dans mon projet de recherche; et bien cette dernire ma abandonn peine 2 semaines aprs avoir intgr leur laboratoire. Jai t prise avec un sujet qui ne vaut strictement rien sur un C.V. et qui tait apparemment lexpertise de mon superviseur, ce qui ma mrit la note minimale de passage soit 60% tant donn que je ntais pas aussi cale que lui dans ce sujet. Dailleurs, lors du sminaire des futurs gradus, jai appris quune lve de ma cohorte avait fait exactement le mme stage que moi initialement dans une entreprise biopharma. Comment cela se fait-il que son stage respectait les exigences et pas le mien? Jaimerais aussi mentionner que cest ce mme superviseur ma accus de tricherie dans un examen dun autre cours mais puisquil navait aucune preuve pour lappuyer, il pouvait seulement me donner une mauvaise note.
