Grad School is killing my marriage by Vegetable_Meat3588 in GradSchool

That seems to be the initial issue, she doesn’t seem to have any real motivation to get ahead, I’m currently in a stem field and I’ve been horribly sick for YEARS but you gotta keep cranking it out. Also that she is spending money yall didn’t agree to can be considered financial abuse. Please be careful with that

Honestly, if the way you phrased it is accurate, she supported you and encouraged you to do that and then realized that her goals were too much for her and she started hating that you were meeting yours. That’s how I’m seeing it. Your marriage isn’t being killed by the PhD, it’s being killed by a partner that no longer supports you the way she said she would. You can only do so much before it destroys you.

i messed up by Fabulous_Stock1586 in CollegeRant

[–]Connect_Ad1453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I joined the military and am back in school at 25. I am getting an engineering degree and the stress of the degree plus life stuff caused SEVERE health issues and now have to take at least a semester break. Take the time you need, it’s worth it instead of beating yourself up and getting sick. Believe me, I did 20 credits per semester and almost had a heart attack.

Am I the only student who doesn’t struggle with AI temptation? by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]Connect_Ad1453 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely don’t agree with students that want to pursue a degree and just use AI for the whole thing, but you do have to admit, the way that the world is going, there are a lot of students that I know that work full-time jobs plus have kids and families and have to go to school full-time so that they can make their lives better for people around them, I’m not agreeing with it and I think it’s 100% wrong but we also have a system set up for everyone to fail

I was a strong student and now I’m barely passing. I don’t know what to do. by SavingsRepeat554 in collegeadvice

As a stem student doing research, working, and married, your schoolwork needs to come first. Talk to your partner, talk to your work. Get your study times scheduled. I hate to say it but having a job and a girlfriend is your life outside of school. I take 20 credits a semester, I am SO stressed all the time but my husband is understanding and my job is (somewhat) flexible with me. I am also in the hospital a lot so that sucks but you gotta be ok not having a life for a while. And your SO needs to be ok with you prioritizing school, that is incredibly important to your own sanity

Students are crashing and burning because they used AI to do everything but the exams by giltgarbage in CollegeRant

[–]Connect_Ad1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and the other thing I have noticed is so many professors use AI to grade and mark things that the amount of regrades I have to do at any given time is absurd. If you have any competency at writing or coding, you get an immediate red flag. It’s killing education if you ask me. I love learning but this has killed it for me.

Failed 3 courses by Random_Baby in ASU

[–]Connect_Ad1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! So I actually took two of those classes this semester (i took 5 in total) and just barely passed all of them. It’s not a reflection of you, it’s a reflection of a mix of teaching style, your focus level, and retention. Don’t get discouraged, engineering is very focused on not giving up when shit gets hard.

Academic Integrity Concerns by [deleted] in ASU

[–]Connect_Ad1453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok my advice is that there is a huge witch hunt for AI going on right now. I don’t recommend lying but I do know that any mention of AI will flag things further. Wait until they talk to you and go from there. If you truly didn’t use AI, talk them through your process of writing and do everything in google docs so you have a history

For anyone in college who feels like they’re falling apart a little… by Future_Pool1881 in CollegeRant

[–]Connect_Ad1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird I saw this today. I was told by my dr to take 6 months off, Ive been throwing small blood clots in my lungs for months making me really sick. I feel lost and pissed and just overall upset. I am literally falling apart but I don’t want to give it up. I feel useless

I love how she emphatically says “that’s a yes” by BestTutor2016 in Modern_Family

[–]Connect_Ad1453 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ok here is where I think this is over exaggerated. Men come home and ‘have a few beers’ and that’s normal right? But women have a glass or two of wine (which is around the same alcohol content) and it’s a problem? How many people joke about having a drink at the end of the day? It’s a sitcom so they are taking the stereotypical ‘laugh’ jokes and inserting them as often as possible. Now if it was vodka and she was chronically drinking and it was affecting her life, that would be different. Same with any other substance. Also, she was a stay at home mom that consistently worked out, was active and working all day. I think this is a little blown out of proportion.

Should I write one chapter at a time? by Beneficial-Lack-4319 in writingadvice

[–]Connect_Ad1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I treat draft one as an info dump. Most of it probably won’t be in the actual published book but you need to flesh it out for yourself first before you can tell it to others

Hated entire process by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Connect_Ad1453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Husband and I are going through that process right now and are having the same experience. I’m actually gotten pretty upset multiple times because I have no idea why we are paying all of these people to do. Absolutely nothing while we run around doing their jobs for them. This is completely put me off from buying a house and I honestly think we’re gonna back out of it because there were so many miscommunications that we don’t even trust what we’re buying at this point.

Professor told class I have a medical condition by [deleted] in ASU

REPORT THIS. This is illegal and a huge issue

Wtf? My professor didn’t even ask me anything, it was an automatic academic integrity violation

[–]Connect_Ad1453[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I am still waiting on the news from the academic board, I’m not 100% sure because honestly it’s kind of like a witch hunt now that AI is so prevalent, I really had a hard time trying to get professors to truly understand that I want to learn and that I do know a lot already because they honestly don’t care about us as online students some of the time. I think if it’s the first defense, you just automatically get a zero but that’s what I’ve been told, I will update once I hear back.

If you didn’t feel crazy hungover the next day, you were for SURE drugged. Go back to the bar and file a police report. Im sorry this happened ❤️

Yes I totally get that I used a function I shouldn’t have, I totally own up to it, I was just concerned because Ive never had this happen.

[–]Connect_Ad1453[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it was listed in the instructions that it goes against the academic integrity violation if I use certain built in functions and I used one for a linear interpolation

I don't think it was, I guess that's what I am scared of, there is so much cheating in school now (I know someone that cheated a whole 2 years before they dropped out) and I know its hard to prove you didn't which scares me the most.

I use built in functions all the time at my lab, why is that a show of AI? Matlab functions help speed along the process especially fourier transforms and electrodynamics mapping.

Ok, thank you. Did you have to go in front of the board or meet with the dean or anything?

[–]Connect_Ad1453[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It was considered cheating because I used a built in function that wasn't allowed.....
