The Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta runs this blog as a place for current students to share their experiences and share their passion for learning with each other and for prospective students to read about the breadth of learning possibilities available to them within Arts.

Blog Content:

This blog reflects the individual experiences of each poster and should not be taken as appropriate advice for action. If you are interested in any of the experiences presented, please contact the appropriate department administration, program management or the Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Student Services office.

Comments:

We are committed to the principles of free speech and of the academy as a place of reasoned debate; however, this site will not be a forum for personal attacks, bullying and offensive behaviour. Members of the university community—including staff, students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty—are governed by the university’s IT use policy and the pertinent conduct and ethical behaviour guidelines.
Comments will be moderated regularly during business hours by Faculty of Arts staff to ensure they are not defamatory, otherwise violate the IT use or other university policies, or violate applicable laws.

Please:
  • Be enthusiastic.
  • Be civil.
  • Be relevant.
  • Don’t try to hijack the conversation to an unrelated pet topic.
  • Present your own opinion. 

Always avoid:
  • Racist, sexist, discriminatory and offensive language
  • Personal attacks and defamatory statements
  • Breaking copyright rules
  • Violating someone’s privacy
  • Threats
  • Posting in all CAPS (this is considered yelling in online speak)
  • Spam or using the forum for promotional purposes
If you violate these rules, your comments will be pulled.

How are Comments moderated?

Comments are moderated before posting; they are read to ensure they adhere to the guidelines. We will post them as quickly as possible. We won’t edit your comments (any grammar and spelling errors will live on as your own).
