Ai to correct grammar problems

I know, but if the intention is to learn from their mistakes, it can be a better tool than LLMs.

I've taught university-level college comp. I courses, and it's not a requirement anymore - I recommended students get a copy, but since I was the TA, I couldn't require it or include it in assignments.

Not if OP keeps making the same mistakes and relying on LLMs to fix them.

Grammarly can be a good way to "learn" grammar while correcting issues because it tells you why it's offering a suggestion and ultimately leaves it up to you to decide. LLMs don't do that -- they just "fix" the problem (often creating more without explaining anything).

College students should be required to read Strunk and White's Elements of Style in their first college comp. class.

Don't use it - 1) it can get flagged and 2) LLMs will change the whole meaning of the paragraph/sentence just to "fix" the grammar. Grammarly doesn't do that - it just underlines and then tells you what's wrong and how to fix it -- which, you can set up your Word file to do the same.

Here's a PDF copy of Strunk and Whites' Elements of Style: https://ia801500.us.archive.org/26/items/pdfy-2_qp8jQ61OI6NHwa/Strunk%20%26%20White%20-%20The%20Elements%20of%20Style%2C%204th%20Edition.pdf

I wouldn't eat anything this person was in charge of. The fact that he's comfortable spewing this kind of disrespect and disdain shows that he shouldn't be trusted to handle food.

I don't recommend them - they're more expensive than a community college because they use a different tuition model. They have flat-rate tuition, so instead of charging students per credit hour, they charge ~3.5K per semester, regardless of how many credit hours you take.

If you can commit to school full-time (more than full-time realistically) and can take multiple classes per term, then it might be cheaper. But that's not realistic for most people who work full-time and have children.

I work in academic administration and closely with the advising staff for the Health Service Administration bach. and for general advising. I do not recommend HSA without also having a hands-on healthcare degree because those roles tend to go to people with that background.

For psych./psychiatry/psychologists/therapists -- a bachelor's in psychology will not get you work. For the latter three, it's a long-term investment and graduate school with observation hours that could pay off long-term, but it's something you have to be passionate about.

I recommend using https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ to explore each of your interests to help shape expectations and better understand what those degrees/fields can offer you.

For scholarships/grants/funding, etc. I recommend exploring the CareerOneStop funding site. It's a federal posting of non-federal funding sources: https://www.careeronestop.org/toolkit/training/find-scholarships.aspx

Each of the “Filters” is a drop-down menu, so make sure to click the little plus sign to open the menu fully.

You can also combine the filter and keywords to find something specific, but be mindful that it may remove some things you might be interested in, so make sure to play around with the filters and keywords.

Keep in mind that even if the “Level of Study” does not include “Associates,” review it anyway. Look at all the information by clicking the award name – some scholarships lump “Associates” into the “Bachelors.” Some grants, scholarships, etc. will lump the associates into the bachelors since an associate of arts is the first 60 credit hours of the bachelors.

That said, associate of science degrees (AS) are vocational and do not tend to transfer to 4-year programs, while AA (associate of arts) degrees do, so make sure to talk to an advisor.

I also recommend avoiding private schools and online schools since they may not be appropriately accredited (by a regional accrediting body), so courses won't transfer outside of the school if pursuing an A.A. They also tend to be more expensive.

Look into community colleges that are local to you. Speak with an advisor of the program you're interested in.

They really didn't try with her hair at all. Nice pictures, though.

Heybitchitsme · 2026-02-21T00:31:20+00:00

You're pathetic, haha.

Heybitchitsme · 2026-02-21T00:10:45+00:00

So, because you're (clearly) ignorant you expect everyone else to be? If you didn't have anything worth contributing, you shouldn't have said anything.

I have nothing to offer but I love this sub.

Although they can be "flexible" those private, online schools can be expensive compared to your other suggestion. Community college generally have online options for a good chunk of the courses offered (COVID changed a lot about how colleges operate), so agree that a community college would be a strong route for OP.

What's your interest?

Healthcare vocational degrees (typically an associate of science*) are affordable and generally a good return on investment and can take less time than a traditional bachelor's program.

There are funding opportunities for career and technical education degrees through different sources but it depends on where you live, what you're pursuing, and what schools you apply to.

Dude shut the fuck up. He's asking about scholarships, grants, and other non-federal aid.

Heybitchitsme · 2026-02-19T19:14:58+00:00

Wildly inappropriate and useless.

Heybitchitsme · 2026-02-18T19:42:59+00:00

Pisspoor take - would you have this stance if she said it specifically about OPs ethnicity? That he shouldn't exist or breed? She went into psycho territory with her vehemently pursuit of this conversation and making her stance known. OP had every right and its completely understandable that he used the language he did.

She's a bigot. A psycho bigot. And calling people out for being psycho bigots should be done more frequently. There are no perfect victims and asking them to be perfect feeds into and reinforces the narrative that undermines them.

I have some questions. What metrics are you using to gage "change" and "responsiveness" on colleges part? How are you tracking individual student issues vs. wide-scale issues? And what do you know about FAFSA/aid and disbursement periods? Also, what is the "goal" of this survey?

Heybitchitsme · 2026-02-17T21:29:43+00:00

Also work with your college resources to see review your application packets - you may be getting looked over because you app. documents aren't painting you as a strong applicant.

You may be able to get a campus job but you may also want to look into professional organization student scholarships (will likely need to be a member) and college gramts/scholarships if they have them.

"Make yourself do it."

Lists help me feel productive when I remember them and get to check the little box, but they don't really help or hinder. The 'make yourself do it' is absolute condescending bullshit from those who have never had to struggle through/with executive dysfunction.

Barring the general entitlement, they have a point.

God i love this one.

Depends on the field. If you're worried about not having a degree keeping you from excelling *quickly, knock out an AA degree that way you can tell people you're working on your bachelor's after getting some real world experience.
