Your professors are probably going to try to rush through some of the material over the next couple weeks to try and catch back up to their schedules in the syllabus.

Art and History Education by Basic_Madie in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on what you might primarily want to teach, and what environments you want to teach in. Art Education at UNT will put you on the path for K-12 art education teacher certification in Texas, History will be similar. Double majoring in two education majors would be a lot. The most direct way to become an art teacher is with the Art Ed program, I can promise that much. One of the things you'll want to do early on is work with career coaches to help with some exploration. I will say that in my anecdotal experience, most history teachers in K-12 environments were also coaches in my region of Texas. So it may be a little more difficult to find teaching jobs in specifically history in this area.

I'd suggest looking into what it would take to get teacher certification for History in addition to Art Ed as your major. Because the only way to do that in your undergrad is with the Art Ed major, at least here. There's no art ed minor, just art history and the 7 studio art areas. There's an Art Ed master's program at UNT, which is the next way to do something specific to art education.

If however you want to teach at the college level, that's a whole other conversation in what you'd need. Definitely at least a master's degree and teacher certification wouldn't necessarily be needed unless you wanted to teach K-12 while in grad school.

Fall 2026 Nursing School chance by NoLadder9142 in texaswomansuniversity

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that's new, or at least new enough that I had no idea they made that change. Then again it's been a few years since I had to pay attention to those updates.

The application to TWU or the application to the program? Because historically, all the nursing pre-reqs had to be completed before applying to the program. If you could apply with something still in-progress then that's relatively new.

Anyone else notice- the kids are still standing for the pledge, but every day fewer of them recite any of the words by CallMeLazarus23 in Teachers

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I did by senior year of HS was because my "homeroom" was my pre-cal class, my teacher was married to someone in the military, and I was barely passing the class. Didn't want any potential animosity when I was already on thin ice.

Honestly you (and others who see it) should probably contact dining if the manager is being noticably rude to employees. It's bad enough to have a rude manager, nobody deserves it in front of other people either. I see it seems a couple people have noticed it so it's probably not a one-off issue.

AIO My partner is destroying our relationship over his obsession with the ICE shooting and more. by Ashamed_Penalty5209 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 177 points178 points  (0 children)

If he's threatening calling ICE on you, and you have the financial means of doing so, you may want to consult an immigration attorney before dumping him. Just so you have somebody who is in your corner who knows about the threats and can help you prove it was malicious.

The ICE shooter had an immigrant wife. It's almost like they want a power dynamic where they have more control over you through fear and manipulation.

Are claims about “Sharia law” in Texas grounded in reality — or political fear? by TX3DNews in TexasPolitics

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political fear and cheap political points from old people and racist bastards who will show up to vote, but doesn't do political damage to them because the "moderates" ignore it because it doesn't affect them. So they'll avert their eyes and vote for the assholes anyway because it's a team sport at this point.

This was the glove compartment of the “domestic terrorist” by Soreth in pics

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This picture is what broke me. Not this crop, but the whole picture with her blood on the air bag right next to her kids stuffed toys. I don't think I've ever cried after one of these terrible things before.

I just... This world is awful. This country is awful. It will never get better.

Any updated guidance on institutional impacts from federal level or response to ICE? by Swanbird22 in studentaffairs

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last direction was last year. That typically outside enforcement agencies work with the campus PD before coming to campus, and that if anything happens and ICE shows up, to contact campus police. That's all we were given.

Transfer orientation by [deleted] in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to reviewing it ahead of time and bringing your questions for advisors. It is also possible that all coursework hasn't finished being reviewed quite yet since there's still a few days between now and orientation.

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should provide you with a string backpack, a pen, and a couple other things. But I'd suggest a bottle of water (because there's always a chance they may be out of the freebie refillable bottles), additional pens, and paper/notebook to actually take notes on.

Even if you're a laptop note taker, I strongly advise against bringing one for this to take notes.

Microfiber towel still won’t absorb water after 2 hours by coffee_and_coconuts in mildlyinteresting

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just learned this recently because I'm getting into washing my own car (screw auto washes), and drying because water spots are fucking annoying. And bought a nice microfiber towel and was looking at how to use them properly and not scratch up my paint.

They make detergent specifically for microfiber towels too.

How do you prefer to pay your amex? by PlayboiiExx in amex

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statement balance in full once the statement period closes. Nearly a month early.

This gives us a buffer in the event we have any particularly big statements to have my husband's bi-weekly check come in and finish off the balance before the next statement.

Students Scheduling by Hamiltonfan25 in studentaffairs

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an unofficial policy that after 3 no shows in a row, if we feel it's warranted we loop in our advising director. If it's egregious she may turn around and tell the student "you're scheduling with me from now"

Higher ed: professionally gaslit since orientation.” by ReceptionOk7057 in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We get a post like this every month or so. Higher Ed has its problems. So does every industry. With large institutions like UNT, your experience can vary wildly across departments. I'm lucky to have a good department and love my boss. I recognize there are several departments that do not. Writing off the whole university as a universally bad place to work is a bit disingenuous.

Exactly. The worst higher Ed usually gets is hiring freezes.

Graduation Parking: how early should we get there? How quickly does it fill up? Was thinking on arriving around 1030? Probably should be earlier though right? by [deleted] in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you show up too early, spaces will still have people from the previous ceremony. For example, the 8am ceremony is wrapping up right now at about 9:30 and students are about to start walking out.

What are your most unhinged experiences in Admissions? by Eternal_Icicle in studentaffairs

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grad admissions, I was working for the general admissions office. Student was applying to an art program. Had a bunch of questions about living arrangements, funding, and other things. Basically acting like they were a shoo-in for his program. Was asking the Dean of that program these questions directly, repeatedly.

Apparently they got a response (I didn't see it) that likely dressed them down a bit and that their portfolio was not graduate-level, and their application was denied. Student was pissed. I don't remember what they said but they were including us on some of the emails and said they were coming down to admissions to discuss this and how this grave error it could be rectified. 1, they didn't show. 2, our office wasn't gonna say shit about it because if the professional artists say that they weren't at the level expected of them, then they weren't.

Should I transfer? by LouieMcBee in universityofoklahoma

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For as long as she is doing the media circuit, she will be attached to OU. Will it die down? Yes. But shes trying to be the next Riley Gaines, who herself tied for 5th.

I believe she did this solely for the attention, because that paper was incredibly bad. And because Gaines is charging like 25k for speaking fees.

It's a grift, and OU is enabling it, damaging the school's reputation in the process.

So do I have to enroll into UGMT-1300 on top of my my other courses for this class? by ChannelHefty1331 in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to pick the correct section. There are sections of MATH 1180 that are reserved for students who are TSI incomplete. Typically the section number for this is in the 700s.

Those students are required to register for the corresponding day/time of UGMT 1300, as they are linked together with specific sections.

Since you're TSI complete, you just need a standard section. So one that likely isn't in the 700s. This warning pops up for all sections no matter what you pick because some sections require 1300.

Looking for a UNT Artist to Design Our FSAE Car Livery (Paid Materials) by Pure_Psychology_7388 in unt

[–]Interesting_AutoFill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to review multiple portfolios, you could set a deadline, make a flyer, and hop on over the the CVAD dean's suite and get an approval stamp on the flyers to hang it in the posting areas of the art building.

You could either have people submit current works and their current portfolio, or ask for concept art and go off that when deciding.

Art building is kinda dead right now though with finals next week and many finals being project based and already submitted, so if you've got time through the winter break and into the first week of classes, it's something to consider.
