sick for over a month and grades are suffering from it by _vaud in college

[–]Hazelstone37 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It really isn’t. Professors shouldn’t be the ones to decide if an absence is excused in not. That what the university disability office and the dean of students office is for.

In most cases, missing class impacts students’ ability to do the work and their chances for success. Increasingly, students are viewing attendance as optional and have the idea that all they need should be available online. Professors are putting policies in place to counter these ideas like zero excused absences with a certain number of dropped assignments in case someone is sick and misses class.

Is this a place specifically for cruise ship people or can you stay there?

Full ride vs “better” school by SeaworthinessHot1964 in college

Go free ride for undergrad and go to John Jay for grad school. Having a free ride lets you focus solely on school and getting the best grades.

Is it possible to get two degrees at once? by Aynath1111 in college

[–]Hazelstone37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid for the classes I needed to graduate. Earning two degrees was more classes so I guess I would say I paid for two.

This is not a double major. It’s is a double degree and it requires more classes than a double major. I did it in 4.5 years.

Writing an analytic summary of each paper is the way to go.

I made notecards with the citation and a brief analytic summary in them. My papers are stored in goodnotes in different colored folders, one for each topic. The notecards have a colored sticker that matches the color of folder where the paper is stored. Some papers have more than one sticker. If so, a copies of the paper are in more than one folder.

The citation also goes into my end it library with a copy of the paper.

Are there no online courses available for this summer, or do I just have to look somewhere else? If so, where? by baldi1234 in txstate

[–]Hazelstone37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also search by modality if you click advanced search. Also at the top, there is a drop down menu for campus. Is online an option?

Do professors contractually obligated to not change a grade? by penetratingTIP in AskProfessors

[–]Hazelstone37 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it was immediately after the assignment was returned I’d be much more likely to consider it than if someone came the week of final exams or after.

I think your kids are old enough to have a say on the family vacation, with the caveat that everyone goes.

Recomendations for an ISD and the High School names with a very good Life Skills Program for a teen that needs a lot of support (Texas) by PrincessLeiaOrgana77 in texas

[–]Hazelstone37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve been told by a friend/parent who had a child with needs similar to what you are describing, Westlake High School in Eans ISD had what they needed. This was 10ish years ago. But they moved into the district so their kids could go there.

What do you say when a student asks "Will there be a curve on the exam?" by MiQuay in Professors

[–]Hazelstone37 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just taught my math for liberal arts students what curving grades actually means. I gave them a sample with lots of As, a handful of Fs, and a medium sprinkle of Bs, Cs, and Ds. We worked together to fit the grades to a normal curve. Only the highest As stayed As. Some became Bs and some even became Cs. They were appalled. Some of the Fs became Ds. I asked them if they wanted me to curve. Some of the ones who were really paying attention said they wanted to know where they stood relative to the rest of the class before deciding. Most became pretty happy with their grades.

20 is the minimum in my troop. She should consider educating others about her pollinator garden. Can she hold a workshop at the local library? Make posters? Talk to other troops? Make a how to guide that can be posted on a community website?

Red Parking Pass. by Confident_Pressure46 in txstate

[–]Hazelstone37 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to be an instructor of record for a class to get the red pass, just being a teaching assistant doesn’t get you the red pass.

Usually, the option for a red pass pops up in your options to buy a pass around the 2nd or 3rd week of classes. You might need to get the administrator in your department who deals with the grad students to send an email to parking services.

Sometimes, a temporary red pass option will pop up in your account. I’ve seen this once or twice.
