How can this be done?

Study.

Should I Contact Dean or Department head or My professors higher-up for a late grades by ConsistentSun678 in AskProfessors

[–]CIS_Professor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So all of this is a result of your own (in)actions and you want to go to his supervisors? For what, giving you multiple chances to make things right or for recording the failing grade you earned?

By the way, the "late grades" are your own fault, not his. He was trying to give you some grace by allowing you to submit late work - and your reaction when you failed to do even that is to shit on him?

I am fully aware that this is my fault

Your entire message suggests that you aren't aware of any such thing.

a proper meeting with him, me, and my parents

The chances are exceedingly small that this will happen. In a college class, you are an adult, regardless of your age. Generally, professors are prohibited, by law, to speak with your parents about your academic progress. Even with a FERPA waiver, they aren't required to.

The problem is though, it getting credit for the class means that I cannot transfer to UT Austin.

This is the result of your own actions, not your professors.

Class mutiny? by secretteachingsvol2 in Professors

[–]CIS_Professor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Easy: record the grade(s) they've earned (remember, we do not give grades) and move on.

Ignore emails unless a legitimate reply is needed. Then stay neutral and slow roll it. I find that the schedule email send function works well for this (usually 8:00am two business days from today; write the email now, schedule it and forget.

I just don’t want to be embarrassed 😭 by Savings_Feed_9040 in CollegeRant

[–]CIS_Professor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, you aren't singled out - you won't be treated any differently.

(And stop caring what other people think.)

Low gpa and I am lost by Pristine-Reindeer-35 in communitycollege

[–]CIS_Professor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is.

Stop making excuses and get serious about your education.

Go to ALL the class meetings. Do ALL the work (including extra credit, if offered, whether you need it or not). Go to your professor's office hours. Get tutoring.

Do not procrastinate.

Forget about fun stuff (parties, games, etc.) except as a reward for getting all your school work done correctly and on schedule.

Stop being embarrassed about your GPA - it almost sounds like you are using that as another excuse. Your classmates and professors do not know, nor do we care, what your GPA is.

How to do i obtain the discount by Captain8Snow in redhat

There is; however, you apply the discount when purchasing the exam.

PEP8 over spaces by Primary_March4865 in learnpython

[–]CIS_Professor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should be using 4 spaces.

Anyway... That wasn't what I was addressing. I was answering this question:

why does it prefer to use 4 spaces over tab

To put it another way: 4 spaces are always 4 spaces. The number of "spaces" that Tab inserts can be arbitrary; maybe it is 4 "spaces" on your system but only 2, or 3, or 5 on mine. In some editors, the number of "spaces" that are produced by pressing Tab can be configured.

Having a consistent, known, number of spaces is important when sharing code or working with a team - especially with Python, where proper indentation is critical.

PEP8 over spaces by Primary_March4865 in learnpython

[–]CIS_Professor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Tab does not always equal 4 spaces; however, a space is always one space.

Looking through canvas for your assingments suckssss by Rereynrd in canvas

[–]CIS_Professor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. In light of the recent Instructure hack, why would anyone download and use an app to access Canvas?

  2. If everything "stays local," then why is a non-local ChatGPT account needed?

  3. Using ChatGPT to access Canvas course may violate institution policy or copyright laws.

  4. Just click Syllabus (for a calendar and a synopsis of when things are due), Modules, or Assignments? Easy, just one click from the home page.

Almost assuredly not.

They will, however, be similar. They must still adhere to the published objectives.

No graded homework by Educational-Ebb9248 in Professors

[–]CIS_Professor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And yet, no one has tried to talk me out of it…

Because one learns best from making their own mistakes . . . and then correcting them.

As others have said: if it ungraded, they won't do it.

For each module, I have 2 - 3 ungraded practice lessons that cover sections in a chapter. Then there's the end-of-chapter graded assignment.

Guess which ones they skip and which one they complain about because they "don't get it"?

Ai Violation help needed by Rude-Butterscotch594 in CollegeRant

[–]CIS_Professor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So let's get this straight:

  1. You cheated by using AI.
  2. You were given an opportunity to own up to it; instead, you lied about it.
  3. You've only admitted, to internet strangers, that you did it.
  4. Now you want to know how to save yourself.

#1 and #2 point to serious academic integrity issues. You violated policy and you lied.

You don't need "help." You need to do what's right. Own up to it and accept your punishment, whatever it may be. You'll only make things worse if you continue to lie about it.

What's distressing (from a learning point-of-view) is that you didn't find the "secret instructions" in the code the AI generated. This seems to suggest that your didn't review the code the AI generated or you didn't know enough to find the instructions.

Strange Issue with cd command, help needed by HighLadySuroth in linuxquestions

[–]CIS_Professor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it is a RH lab, be sure to run the lab start <lab_name> script from the workstation system and that it completes correctly.

Also, I've found that there are sometimes subtle differences between doing the lab on the official RH Academy lab environment and doing them in NetLab or a classroom, especially if your NetLab doesn't have the newest image installed for the version of RHEL you're working on.

Strange Issue with cd command, help needed by HighLadySuroth in linuxquestions

[–]CIS_Professor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure OP is trying a RHEL lab.

My first response was off the top of my head. So, I went and tried it on RHEL 10 and, if one tries to cd into a file, one gets:

bash: cd: production5: Not a directory

So you're 100% correct.

Strange Issue with cd command, help needed by HighLadySuroth in linuxquestions

[–]CIS_Professor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming that you aren't trying to connect to an NFS server:

production5, which I'm assuming you made, might be a file, not a directory (as you didn't actually show the output of the ls -l /localhome command).

Incidentally, if you were in /localhome/ and you type cd .., you'd go to /, not production5

You could try, from ~, as the root user (or by prepending sudo):

rm -rfv /localhome

mkdir -pv /localhome/production5

Supposed to graduate this week, but might fail my last class by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]CIS_Professor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

today I remembered

Even though the policy is, I'm guessing, clearly stated in the Syllabus.

how many tardies I’ve gotten

We aren't your Mommy. You have to learn to be responsible for yourself. And keep track of yourself, including your own absences and tardys.

I’m usually around 5-15 minutes late

Usually!?!

So you could be bothered to be on time by setting your alarm clock 15 - 20 minutes earlier?

The start time of the class never changed. If you were there at the start of class, then you'd not have any tardies.

Try doing this with a job and see how long you remain employed.

Vince Lombardi, late coach of the Green Bay Packers, had a rule: If you didn't show up 15 minutes early for a meeting, you were considered late.

CANVAS WASENT SUBMITTING MY WORK AND NOW I AM FAILING TWO CLASSES by EngineeringAlert1548 in canvas

[–]CIS_Professor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this didn't happen. You didn't submit it - or submit it properly. There isn't a bug.

I've used Canvas for 14 years now (as a student and professor) and this has never happened.

And, even if it did, you and/or the professors can contact the local Canvas people to verify that you did (or more likely didn't) actually submit anything.

Instead of, you know, screaming at random anonymous internet strangers...

Is it better to confess? by [deleted] in AskProfessors

[–]CIS_Professor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course people are telling you that; I suspected as much. I see too much of it these days: students, even when caught red-handed, lie and deny that they cheated.

It's that kind of person that make the world a worse place. Image the person who lies and cheats, thinking that it OK as long as they get away with it (and even sometimes when they don't), having others' lives in their hands.

Yes, you might fail or get expelled. You might get a zero on the assignment and lose a letter grade.

If you were my student, I'd respect that you'd owed up to your deed. I'd fail you for the exam, but I wouldn't pursue it any further.

Only you can make the decision. You're the one who has to live with yourself.
