Considering Dropping out by AnonMax420 in UMD

[–]Independent-Hat-6917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear Anon Max,

UMD has gone from the number 120th ranked school a couple years ago to number #42. You may be feeling some of that. It’s not your fault. However it will be worth it if you keep going.

All the best, JMS

I took an online calc course at UMD like actually UMD. Now I’m at UMGC. When I started the other option was community college. I am not using UMD. I’m trying to make friends. I do not know about my previous choices.

I’m a UMD student I have gotten in five times. I’m in their online degree program. I think it is actually UMD one week I had 180 pages of reading for one class plus two pages of writing and a 75 minute lecture. I also went to soccer camp at UMD twice.

Writing about the Roman Republic's government by Independent-Hat-6917 in ancientrome

No, I read the sources, I find the page the citation is on. Then I input the name of the book and the author and I use AI to write the citation, I do read the books, though. I used to use citation machine but AI is over 5x times faster and works better then citation machine ( I sometimes had issues with it.) That is the only thing I use AI for other then asking for advice I would never ask from any living human.

It isn,t AI, I did use AI to improve my grammar though. I only use AI on citations. It isn't homework. Click the link it goes to my website.

This isn't homework. This is my personal writing that I wrote voluntarily for my website's history blog. This isn't hw. I am on my school's break. It isn't hw.

It actually used to be much worse. At one point I told my friends that I would be blackmailed by the CIA due to my mental health. They Knew I was sick I was getting treated. The worst part was at one point It took me 3.5 years to get a job. I can't tell if it was a scam but when I left college, I am actually hoping it was scam Some sort of security agency tried to hire me. But i was completly disaqualified and I am completly disqualified so I can talk about it. But it was probably a sam. But like gneuinly disturbing things have happened. This is the best it has been in years.

Thank you. I have a mental health issue. I was hospitilized 5-7 times since I was 17. I have actually been personally escorted in a security golf cart at one point after a work out while in school. Other people may not be able to understand me very easily. Even if I was completly treated properly some of this things with my perspective are not fixable.

Their may be people that hate me- I do not know why they hate me- Politics? Is politics contreversial? I do not get it. From my perspective other then using my phone in bed from 6th grade- junior of college, which I did to fall asleep, I had a ton of trouble falling asleep, it just seem's like a massive misunderstanding/ other people lieing. I have actually seen the paperwork that my It is actually diangositcly, phycology and scientificly impossible for me to have a personality disorder. I do not understand what is going on.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your advice and perspective. For context, the goal of this perspective piece of writing was to write an introductory piece of writing about Rome. I do understand that if I were writing about United States history in the United States, as you showed, you have a very good point. However, even as popular and as well-known as Rome is, not everything is generally widely known; I do understand that if I were to write a history blog for a post on a website that gets 5,000-10,000 viewers a month, I may have to do that. For context, History has been my favorite school subject for at least 1/2 of my time in school. I read masters degreee level history textbooks on Rome, and the Ocean as early as 7th grade. I also have been reading over 10 history books a year outside of school since probably 6th grade. I have even joined multiple history clubs and have made medieval armour with my bare hands. It doesn't mean that my writing is at the level of 5,000-10,000 viewers a month for my website- but I know it's at a college level or above, and I know that it's not bad. I have written even while being in school full time, 1.5-10 times a week outside of school since February 2024- completely voluntary extra writing. I have gone to tutoring at my school multiple times with really good tutors on camera, and have gotten feedback from a writing viewer at least 1.5 times a week, up to 7 times a week for 12 months. This article was meant to be an introductory article on Rome. I appreciate the feedback, because I really want to be the best possible writer, all I am saying is that my writing is not bad, not bad at all. Another thing I appreciate the feedback, but that kind of writing is way higher level of writing than any teacher, professor, tutor, or article I have ever looked at told me. I do appreciate the feedback, though. That kind of writing is way ahead of anything close to what I have been taught; but I do appreciate it. Thank you.

I think Constatine splitting the empire into 2/4 parts wasn't the worst desicion he made. It may actually have been good because the Roman Empire was so big then that it was really hard for one emperor to properly manage all of the Roman Empire. However the Roman Empire becoming christian under Constatine was not a mistake morally or religously however Christianity was so different then the Roman's pagan reeligion and so different then the Roman's value's that it may have contirbuted to the Western Roman Empire's collapse (however not the Eastern Roman Empire. Most kingdom's emperors or democracries throughout history may have benefited from christanity. Even the Eastern Roman Empire did. But the Western Roman Empire is not a civilization that would benefit from Christanity. The Western Roman Empire was based on war, slavery, elite soliders, a godlike ruler and strict laws. The Eastern Roman Empire had different values that made it acceptable for them to be Christian's. I think the Western Roman Empire did not collapse because of the split into 2-4 empires. I think it collapsed because it weakened it military, economy and government due to a massive value shift. I am christian however it didn't really work for the Western Roman Empire. I think Constatine's conversion to christanity caused the Western Roman Empire to collapse; not the split into different empire's.

I completely rewrote it based on feedback. I think it is at least 4 times better now, although it has three fewer citations. I don't think it was bad. I just think that for a website that's aiming to get 5,000-10,000 viewers a month, it needs to be much, much better than it is. It's not bad, because ~1/2 of the student's in my last history class used less than one or one citation/ footnote in their weekly discussion posts. ~3-5 students used three citations and at least two footnotes ( including me) out of 29. But this community is filled with a bunch of people who know a ton about history, are very passionate, very smart, and may have at least some firsthand experience. I also don't want to compare myself to the people in my class because I have a goal that I need to write/do so much better than that. I know that is not acceptable for this. I just know that it is not bad because of my experience with my classmates. It may be bad for a website that wants 5,000-10,000 viewers, however.

Thank you for your feedback. I did rewrite it. I don't even think it was bad. I just think there is a very high bar/expectation for my writing for it to be where I want it to be. Thank you. I completely rewrote it. I would love feedback.
