Nick Soapdish posted:Just registered for my second semester. Excited to keep going with this. Only downside is that I only get online BAH and not locational. iirc you only need one physical class to get 100% of the BAH? Could be worth looking into. I found a program that had one night course a week and wasn't 100% online for this reason, heh.

You should still be able to walk with your cohort and such all the same, if that’s important to you. Also I’m not sure if it was different before, but they don’t seem to let you take filler classes anymore. It has to be towards a specific degree plan, and they check every transcript you’ve ever done ever to make sure you’re not double dipping or idk. I could be wrong of course. I had a similar situation but rather it was because they thought a certain class counted for another, and it went unchecked. I ended up going to National University to bang the class out. They do a class at a time so it was accelerated and technically full-time, got most of my BAH, just of course not a semester length.

man going to law school in TYOOL 2018 just seems like a bad idea all around. All I hear about is how hard finding jobs is if you don’t go to the top tier schools—not lucrative at all. Not to shame Kawasaki or anything. I guess for those that have an undergrad completed that doesn’t get them anywhere they sometimes feel it’s the only option?

I think I have enough bennies for grad school and that makes me pretty happy How does having paid the $1,200 towards the Montgomery GI bill work? I believe my friend who exhausted his GI bill recently said they sent him a check once he used it all up. Someone else had told me they apply it toward your tuition once you exhaust your post 9-11, but I wasn’t aware you got the cash money

I’ll have to check, it’d be more of a bridge program iirc so not as long as traditional grad school, but I could be wrong. I’ll definitely have to pay a bit out of pocket. I had a bunch of JC done before I went to big boy school, so it shaved off and saved me a few semesters.

Cojawfee posted:That's why you have to make sure you ask when it is and check that against what the school has scheduled. The final schedule is probably set long before the semester even starts. It's weird being in a class where you had to have taken another college class before this one and people still don't know how finals work. what Also idk if it is confidence from the mil, maturity, or what: but college was a lot of me being the older dude asking the arguably dumb questions “oh man thanks for asking I was wondering too!” or “hey can you ask the professor if ______” I guess I was a dumb timid teenager too my first go around. But man seemed like I always had to spearhead study or text groups. We’re in this together y’all

Cojawfee posted:I'm currently sitting at a 4.0 GPA for all second attempt at college semesters. GPA is currently 3.12 thanks to my first attempt. so does this depend on the college or what? Technically only the classes applicable to your degree that you’re using for credit should count towards your GPA, but as I understand that’s not really how it works? Like gently caress, yeah I botched some JC classes when I was 19 why is it haunting me now and I gotta pay for my negligence of it all in my 30s.

I guess kids at a university will drop faster once their parents cut them off and all that, but in regards to the JC, I think that’s mostly the lower level classes at any rate Y’all love group projects right?

I mean, I’ll buy that to extent, but I think it generalizes and gives a disservice to those who really want to succeed and move forward in life. Maybe they have poo poo HS grades, but that’s their time to shine and go for a good university/scholarships. Trust me, if University was more accessible then I’d say yeah, go there outright. If you’re just really good at sports and want to destroy your brain for entertainment then that’s a whole other topic

bet they’re one of those that are very stern on the whole “I don’t curve!” Having it in bold on throughout the syllabus or they gave everyone a study guide with nothing from the final on it But really if a class average is below, say, 60-70%, it’s fair to blame the professor just a bit there. I just never understood the concept of making a final worth such a huge chunk of your grade, especially when it’s really just an extension of the exams you already had. Just imo and all that.

and you know that person studied their rear end off too Do higher ups like the dean ever get involved when poo poo like that goes down? I was at a small school, and one exam had about 25% failing. They came out and did something behind closed doors with a curve and folks passing just barely above the threshold. It was obvious but they never admitted anything. It was less about caring if people are passing, and more about so many people being held back loving up the flow of the program Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Dec 28, 2018 |

yeah that’s lovely man Not to be all: “ask to speak to the manager,” but can you ask the professor in person sincerely about a curve? Or go above them if needed? I mean the numbers are pretty telling... I had a similar situation where I got a 54 or so, the median was 60, lowest in the 20s, and highest 75 or some poo poo. Thankfully just took an F and redid it elsewhere Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Dec 28, 2018 |

There was a good entertaining thread on reddit about all that and how to know when you know your professor is garbage, personal experiences etc “___% of you WILL fail this class!!” I just don’t get it Found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/a25p37/what_are_some_red_flags_from_teachers_that_shout/?st=JQ7LOYME&sh=678bda21 quote:“I don’t have time to answer all of your questions” quote:"I don't believe in giving A's because I believe no one is perfect" quote:I had a professor who's "A" grade started at 96. 96. "B" started at 91. She started off the class by gloating that she took pride in lowering high GPAs. Like a slightly more psychopathic version of the professors that say, "Most of you will fail my class." She didn't want students to fail, she just wanted to gently caress with their self-esteem. She was a psychology professor, and I don't remember her name on purpose. quote:"Don't expect to pass this class"

lmao it’s a loving speech class good grief I actually went all millennial and wrote a polite nastygram essay to one of my professors who was right on the cusp of being all of the above. He was a nice dude, but just didn’t seem to care if anyone passed. He said he was a psychologist and as such open to any and all criticism on the online boards so I just let it flow on a post. A lot of classmates said they agreed with everything I said. He was all about “understanding the material and concepts” but seemed to focus the class around memorization and regurgitating info...which is what he said he wasn’t about. 🤷🏽♀️ Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Dec 28, 2018 |

speaking of x degree only being useful after grad school whenever someone isn’t sure what to major in, then chooses their undergrad in psychology, I want to sit them down and tell them why it’s a terrible idea Maybe unless you’re pre-med, but even then. y’all remember when having a high school diploma was cool???
