Natalie SLP Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thank you both for the insight! That's definitely reassuring. If a strike does unfold, I'll make sure to directly contact the schools if I have to. It is helpful to know though that in the past you were given options to have your courses completed on time. Hopefully that will be the case if if happens this year. With the transition to online learning two years ago and now this, I'm just ready to graduate lol SoaringSLP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloto SLP Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Wondering if anyone has taken Anth 354 Language and culture (from Athabasca) for their Linguistics course?? If so, how did you find it to be and what was the exam like? I'm feeling a bit nervous about it because I've never done an online exam before, and also don't know what to expect content wise- I feel like this course is kinda all over the place! Any insight would be so much appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechenthusiast Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Does anyone have any tips for preparing for the MMI? I've been looking at the sample questions, but I am unsure how else I can prepare for it. I would love some advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanktheTank8 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Sorry if this was already asked, but has anyone emailed McMaster to see if we can jot down talking points/ideas during our reading time? Also, does anyone know if the Kira Talent platform has spell check for the written sections? Thanks! Edited March 10, 2022 by HanktheTank8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something haha! I've been doing the same strategy. And I've been reading up on issues in health/SLP. But it really feels like it's one that's hard to prepare for! Let me know if you'd like to do a call and practice some questions together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaGrad Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 For the MMI interview at McMaster on Kira Talent - does anyone know if we’ll be talking to real people when we’re answering the verbal questions, or are we just recording videos of our responses?

I got an email from McMaster yesterday stating the following: Notetaking during MMIs Be aware that taking notes at any time during the MMIs is not permitted. Please refer to item #6 in your Statement of Confidentiality. Your posted question/scenario at each interview station will remain posted for you throughout the entire interview. You will be able to refer back to the question as needed. A countdown timer will also be always visible so that you know how much time you have left while reading and interviewing.

It will be real people at every "station". I think I remember reading that they may be in the SLP profession or may not be, they may be an actor/ person we role play with. They also may have a follow-up question to our answers. AnnaGrad and haiSLP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
