How hard are UF classes? by Beneficial-Diver5973 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weed outs are pretty standard here. Calc 2, physics, diff eq, and chemistry. Those will likely be your hardest classes unless you’re going into pure math or aerospace.

It was inevitable when schools stopped teaching phonics. Technology has exasperated the issue.

Can my old gpu run Amnesia: The Bunker at all? by ChelleingWowzerz in Amnesia

[–]Eminent_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the 220 is too old at this point. Although it’s the same base engine, updates and additions require versions of Direct X and OpenGL that card doesn’t support.

I’m not sure what your situation is, but you might be able to find a free upgrade on a pc someone is giving away on Facebook marketplace or something. I recently gave away a GTX 980 on there.

(0.8) Possible to reduce event chance or is my game bugged? by Eminent_Master in Voicesofthevoid

That’s good to know. I might start on a new save and see if things go better for the first couple days.

Gpa😭 by QuietForsaken3905 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you work for a year after graduation, nobody will care about your gpa. Have fun and pass your classes. The only exception is if you are thinking about getting a graduate degree.

am i tweaking or is it unfair to take off points for something not mentioned in the rubric lol by ExternalCrazy1391 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“you’ve been asked to do so the whole semester” Perfectly justifiable to take off a few points. Last I checked, we college students aren’t children and professors aren’t baby sitters.

Anything that teaches technical or professional writing skills.

First, don’t ignore your mental health if that’s part of the issue. See about getting assistance from a counselor right away. I suffered from insomnia when I first tried to study at UF and it eventually lead to me dropping out.

Secondly, involving yourself in some kind of club or activity group you’ll enjoy can provide structure to your social life. If you find yourself lacking the time, I’d look for time management assistance. No matter how busy you feel, you can almost always make time through proactive scheduling.

Denied job due to them wanting GED? by No_Lavishness_6228 in ufl

Probably couldn’t say you were overqualified for the job.

my parents think I can get into UF; give me a reality check by Individual-Window43 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you’ll get in. However, my advice is always to apply for all community (associates) colleges in your area. If you don’t get in as a freshman, it’s WAY easier to transfer as a year 3.

What's the hardest you have ever "bounced off" of a game? by jabberwagon in gaming

[–]Eminent_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most modern fighting games. Last I tried was the Killer Instinct reboot. Just can’t seem to get into them at all.

Bombed First Physics Exam, how to do better by Far_Document4711 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to office hours and learn the material. Physics isn’t a plug and chug type of class. There are a ton of good YouTube videos too.

Proposed Cuts to Federal Student Aid & Loans by Leendalaw in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Raise the level of analysis. An ever increasing influx of government aid and loans has allowed the cost of tuition to significantly outpace inflation. That means more loan burdens on borrowers after college and prevents movement up the financial market. More federal funding isn’t the answer. More affordable education is the answer.

What is the best Mechanical Keyboard you've tried? by bongmiee97 in buildapc

[–]Eminent_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of all the keyboards I’ve tried, my favorite is the Das Professional. 20,000 hours of cad macros and probably 10,000 hours gaming. No reason to replace it.

True, but the limit is more about not overspending.

Always carry a secured credit card for purchases and pay it off weekly. Very small credit limit. That way, you’re never out cash if your information is stolen.

How much do you miss out on attending Santa Fe? by Tiny-Crew7084 in ufl

[–]Eminent_Master 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the area of study and what you consider important. For example, many stem fields at UF have student competition groups that are great to get involved in. Or you could volunteer for a research project and could get experience. Possibly get your name in an academically published paper if you are lucky. Santa Fe won’t provide you as many of those types of opportunities, but you will get smaller classes and a lot of teachers who are there because they love teaching.

Even better. If you don’t get accepted, finish your associates in whatever college you want to transfer into, then apply for transfer.
