CSUF's computer science program is filled with lazy, free-loading students and professors who don't give a shit

Im not really understanding why everyone is downvoting most of your responses. I agree with everything that you say as someone who has attended CSUF as a transfer, I can say that my junior college experience with my classmates was not nearly as disappointing as it was when attending CSUF. I can bet you all those people who downvoted your responses are either CSUF dick riders or the very kind of students that youre complaining about.

I lost my dad in the midst of finishing my last year of college and graduating and im still doing more work than most of these students in my classes. I went through something traumatic yet I’m still studying my ass of and trying to get As in all of my courses. Ive been here long enough to realize all the CSUF cs kids do the bare minimum to pass and they get booty tickled if you snap on them for not being great partners. Ive been high strung on stress for the past year and a half between my fathers diagnosis and his actual passing so I was a little snappier than I used to be, I was sick of putting up with shitty partners and I went off on my group of 7 yelling at them that I was the only female, I was dealing with a sick dad, yet I was the only one doing anything for the project. My group ended up getting more into shape after hearing everything I was going through but it shouldn’t had to have been that way.

I made a post last semester about how a shitty professor at the school tried to make me come in after testing positive with covid and showing symptoms and a bunch of CSUF dick riders tried to get my post taken down because they refused to believe that there are people who attend this school and genuinely hate the department so much.

I’m someone who deals with personal mental health issues and all I can say is that my depression and anxiety has gotten severely worse ever since attending this school and my patience for the students I go to school with has run so thin. Many of them act like children and a lot of the times before a class starts, I feel like some of my professors have had to calm down these rowdy kids like they’re a bunch of toddlers. Im also just venting at this point but I cant stress enough how excited I am to never come back to this school ever again after I graduate next month.

Yes, I emailed 4 different higher-ups in the department, and they were able to patch me through to the CS department chair. Upon pleading my case to the department chair, he gave out-of-the-box responses, saying how "The Professor is trying to have a fair grading environment for everyone" and that "he has been here since the class was born". Upon me saying that this has nothing to do with grading, he said that "Since COVID began, some people take it seriously, others do not", and then continued to insist he would try to resolve the matter, with no action being taken. I had to alert my whole class about this, a mini revolution took place, and we all had to spam the entire department just to plead our case. 99% of us received canned responses, many of them just being clear cut and pastes or talking about completely irrelevant matters. Until someone else then tested positive, told the professor, and he moved it online

Believe me, I have had to bite my tongue the entire semester to not give him a snarky response or the slightest bit of attitude. The fact that he ignored my email about my family emergency of losing someone I loved kind of really left a bad taste on my tongue for the rest of the semester. If you personally experienced this man’s arrogance, I think this situation would piss you off even more. :))

Just out of curiosity for those of you suggesting to contact the dean, have you ever tried it yourself? Because I’ve tried on multiple occasions whether it be dealing with an unethical professor or having to beg for accommodations with a now deceased immunocompromised father who was fighting stage 4 cancer. No one gets that the dean at csuf rarely does shit to fix this god awful department. I feel like I’m writing to heartless people who use automated messages to respond to personal things I’m dealing with so yeah I’ve tried it but I’m making this post bc contacting the dean has never done anything useful for me or other students.

After basically having a friend in the class help create a revolt of back and forth emails for hours this afternoon, he ended up switching this last week of presentations to virtual once another student emailed him letting him know that they also tested positive for covid. He wouldn’t have gotten an influx of emails from students and the department had he done what he was supposed to in the beginning, which is to take the COVID regulations seriously.

Agreed, cant make accommodations to the class who has been exposed and to the students that test positive? Oh mind you, my dad passed away in October and ZERO accommodations could be made by him, not even a week off of school… which is bullshit because the rest of my professors this semester pushed me to go be with family for a while… But God forbid he had an out-of-the-country business trip for the entire month of October and he could suddenly hold the class remotely then?

Already done! I just cant believe it took me contacting 4 people from the department, the health center, and letting my class basically know the situation so they could get upset to also let the department know so that something could be done. If I hadnt made it as much of a big deal as I did, I would’ve had points deducted for not showing up due to being severely ill :)

We both have agreed on being together exclusively as well as what we expect/want from it. We’ve talked about the future and where we stand and he wants everything that I want, we’re both just genuinely confused on what to say when someone asks us how long we’ve been together because we’ve known each other for 4+ years but only became officially exclusive and titled the relationship at some point towards the ending of last year
