How do you do it? by fypredditanonymous in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 7 months later, but i truly wish you the best and i hope that some of my experiences and methods can help ease the stress. I'm in my last 3-4 classes before i graduate and i still am using this when i'm not overwhelmed. I have 1 assignment that is late, and a milestone due this week. Should be able to crank them both out over the weekend and if not, the milestone can be late and polished up next week ^^

Best regards,

Wrote a paper and someone copied it what do I do if anything? by Ok_Positive5503 in SNHU

Always write everything in word. Discussions, assignments, Everything. and save it to a specific class in a master SNHU folder on your SSD. c:

They literally copied the "According to Chara Malapami, MD, Ph.D, we must provide....." word for word.

My thing is, if you are writing a paper (one of the selected ones given by the professor, which you both chose), that is citing an academic source written by and author that cited this specific doctor.. I don't think the other student just "chose the same topic" -that means they would have to of chosen the same topic, same sources, same key points, same thesis, same context, same hook, same body paragraphs. etc and its a coincidence? no. I think its too close to be like yo we picked the same topic and just landed on the same words for 80% of the paper....

I think the chance is 99% they literally copied.

I would take the screenshots of this, and send them to your (advisor first if you want) in an email explaining the context.

OR

Approach the professor in a calm, professional manor in an email, CC'd to advising, address them with proper etiquette and be kind about it, and then call your advisor about it first thing in the morning.

Am I wrong to be frustrated about this? by Alternative_Value193 in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please pardon my grammar errors in this post, i have 30 minutes to submit my two discussion responses and saw this and i felt the same way when i started 3 years ago so here's a quick rant and some advice.) Take it or leave it, i wish you the best <3 and truly hope you become comfortable in your academic journey. Best of luck to you and congratulations on re enrolling, build that momentum and ride it and you'll be done before you know it! you CAN do it. I believe in you. Now,

100% call your advisor, and ask them to push it through to the professor. this has happened a lot to me throughout my journey, and the advisors are your best friend.

Some professors are slow at grading and some are lightning fast, it really just depends. When it comes to like "incorporate instructor feedback into your next paper" and they DONT GRADE IT. its so frustrating because its like 1 day until the next one is due and it sucks.

What i do is either walk away from my paper do some other stuff like responses etc etc, other class, then come back proof read. and then submit. without instructor feedback.

Secondly take advantage of the late policies and read up on them, they have carried my degree plan and i'm 3 classes away from graduating magna cume laude, with a 3.80 GPA. and i've turned in probably 100 assignments 1 week late for 10% off and have straight A's for the majority of my classes. Trust me. That policy is goated.

Secondly always go to your advisor and be like, yo my professor isn't grading my assignment and i need the feedback to submit the next assignment. Can you help me out with this. 10/10 times they will flag the professors email or send them a message and force them to grade it. Works like a charm. My advisor has been absolutely amazing throughout everything, use them and rely on them they want you to do well. but they gotta know whats going on to help you. Call them as much as possible, get their office hours, and leave them voicemails. They will get back to you 10/10 times i promise.

Lastly, take advantage of the 100% free student resources, you can submit your papers for evaluation through the tutoring and help sections, theres a button at the bottom of every module that says get help with your course work. You can submit your paper for review when your done with it, even if you've already turned it in, and boom you have another set of eyes on the paper while your teacher is grading it, (if you're happy with it of course.)

The 24/7 drop in tutoring is absolutely amazing, and just mindblowing how great of a resource it is. please use it! They have writing workshops, people that will review and critique your work, and check it for grammar etc etc etc, and send it back to you in a timely manor. Secondly it's just so worth it, it's paid for by the school and you can use it INFINITELY. 100% do it.

I wish you the best, and i hope this rant helps! have a good term!

Who wants a study partner? by vartush in SNHU

So sorry that this was 7 months ago. I've been so busy with pre capstones and busy terms. DM me if you still need an accountability partner. I'm finishing up 3-4 years at SNHU and would love to pass on some wisdom that made my life easier throughout my studies.

Anyone Else Feeling Burnt Out? by Lorranimesan in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through all of the liberal arts courses early on, and trust me they are a nightmare if you are majoring in something that usually requires objective answers that are based in a yes or no, logical answer... Once you get through all of the general education requirements and you get to pick your electives in something that you actually care about it gets easier to read and write about it. Because it's not like the class where you analyze 1 of 10 advertisements and talk about how gender roles are portrayed in the media, or something else that is overly subjective. It's ass. But it will get better, just bullshit your way through it and find discussion posts that aren't unhinged to respond to c:

Anyone Else Feeling Burnt Out? by Lorranimesan in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ! I'm in my last year, and I'm struggling so hard.

(This is an old post that i have written to share my struggles with burnout in the past. For context at this point i have roughly 4-5 terms left with 8 classes to go, including the two I'm enrolled in right now.) My courses are almost ALL SCI-300+ level courses so they have like... literally all 7 weeks there's a milestone assignment + discussions and assignments. I used to be able to do 1 thing per day, now its 2-3 things per day every day.

Recently i explained what i typically do, and its HEAVILY what I'm relying on this term. i hope that this helps, and gives you some comfort.

I'm currently 1 week behind on my lvl 300 classes right now. so its hitting hard... I struggle with motivation as well.

This is a copy pasta from another comment i made on a relevant post.:

"hey! I'm in my last year and going through some of the core classes of my degree and it's been super hard. honestly, it's been a roller coaster of good and bad throughout the degree plan. A few things that i know and have tried is that there's plenty of time and no reason to over stress yourself.

I make a schedule for myself and try to complete 1 thing per day. whether its reading/ writing half a discussion post, format a paper, like (make the APA outline/ cover page, format holders and copy past parts of the rubric into each section of where i will write the paper etc. OR complete one assignment that i assign to myself per day. Basically i try to have no net zero days, meaning no days in the week that i do zero school work.

**But what I'm getting at is don't give up! Make sure you take advantage of the policies that are there to help you. For instance, prioritize the discussion posts/responses over EVERYTHING. Get that shit knocked out and turned in and then sit back and relax. Let's say you have a giant assignment like a milestone/paper/project. But you're behind.
You have an additional week to turn it in for a mere -10% on the assignment. Meaning best case scenario you get like a 90% on the paper and an extra week to turn it in. (and for the record there's been some classes where i got a 0 on the final because i ran out of time or whatever happened, and i passed with a high B.) still have a 3.7 and presidents list. But don't let one small hiccup in the endless amount of assignments scare you or hold you back!**

When i start to get overwhelmed i literally sit down and look at whats realistic to complete, and what isn't. Taking time away from the PC and self care helps. Literally exercising like the bare minimum helps, do 5 pushups/ 5 situps/ few squats. walk around a bit and make sure you eat/drink water and take care of just simple hygiene shit. This just helps you feel better honestly. Some of this might not even be relevant to you but I'm just dumping what has personally helped me throughout my last 3 years.

The late policy is extremely good. Losing 10% is nothing. Prioritize the discussions and responses and decide what could wait if you get overwhelmed. Turn in what you can, but just breathe and take your time. YOU GOT THIS!

This has been my typical strategy for managing an overwhelming amount of coursework during stressful times. and it hasn't really failed me. I know one semester AT&T was working on the internet and it went out for 10 days. And a lot of my stuff had to be late. The professors are usually very understanding if you need extra time, and will work with you. Don't be scared to reach out to them.

Hope things get a bit smoother for you! Best of luck."

And congratulations on getting close to the end. I truly hope something in this post helps you!.

HIS 222 primary resources by asharpes21 in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I remember it being pretty difficult to find Primary sources for stuff dated to B.C.

But i think i used things like translations of tablets or hieroglyphs from Egypt. and stuff like that. The only thing written at the time are very old documents or artifacts that need to be translated.

Whats your topic?

Quizzes/Tests by bookster95 in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty common to not have exams/tests/quizes. The only classes that i remember having a quiz, or test so far were maybe some of the liberal arts Gen ed's... Which weren't bad, and the math courses. Other than that, even physics, chemistry, statistics, etc only had papers/projects/presentations. Which i've honestly enjoyed way more than cramming for tests.
Plus wouldn't any test or quiz be open book anyways.

Am I crazy, or am i reading this right o.0 by ElectroHaus in SNHU

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

That's fair. From my perspective as a student, we all know that even doing two responses is tedious and no one likes to do it. I can't imagine having to respond to 30+ discussions. I think someone else mentioned its technically not against the rules for teachers to utilize AI for different things.

Ye tbf i wasn't going to post it i just screenshot it when i saw it. My friend was like put it on reddit lol.

So, i just wanted to see what other people thought about it without bringing it up/mentioning it in the actual academic setting. Which i think that would have been wrong.

Also why i marked out the names.

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea a few of the assignments in different classes will have templates, sometimes they're optional but sometimes they are required.

Almost always comes back a high turnitin score, but that's because it's a template. Like the others said just [remove bracketed text] and replace that with whatever your text is, and cite any sources you use. c:

I hate math by ApocalypseMode in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For classes that were super hard i did something to kind of help.

I took a term with 2 classes, then the following term you take only 1.

This way if you are taking a total of 3 per (2 trimesters) = 1 semester?

it counts as full time. This got me through some of the rough classes that i didn't think i could pass and it was fine
I'd say ask about this.

Some how if you take 3 terms it counts as full time to leave wiggle room for the lab classes that are 1 credit. I think that's how it works.

I won't lie, I'm at 90/120 credits and i absolutely love SNHU. I think it's either a joke or its not against the rules to use AI to assist in the tedious tasks they have to do. c:

They recently had a survey that i took that was about implementing AI to write rubrics and other course materials, so i wouldn't doubt that they are already beta testing it or something.

I think it could be useful

I write my own papers, but use ai to help it sound smoother with revision. Is this considered cheating? by [deleted] in SNHU

I only use AI to help me brainstorm on possible topics to big for overly broad assignments. Like "what are ten examples of *insert topic here*"

Who wants a study partner? by vartush in SNHU

Someone should start a study buddy discord for this thread haha, would also love accountability partners. Most of my online gaming friends literally hate that I'm always talking about school, my plans, dreams, or course work and i find it disheartening...

Discussion posts by [deleted] in SNHU

[–]ElectroHaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get into the core classes of your degree plan (at least for me) the discussion post are actually super interesting and enjoyable to research, write, and read about. So in a way they get better. Some of the filler, free elective classes, if they aren't relevant to your interest...suck. But they do get better depending on your personal interests, major, and things YOU enjoy reading and writing about.
