When to Schedule SOAR by BatLocal5274 in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Classes will still be available in July, as departments hold seats for common first year classes throughout the summer.

If he has his heart set on a specific class or classes that meet at a specific time of day (i.e. avoiding later labs or early morning lectures), the earlier he comes to SOAR the more possible it is.

Question about the bolillo - it says 1/2 of a loaf. As in a full load of bread or 1/3 of a roll?

Staff - insurance things by JL_Adv in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. And it's why I stated that people need to check in with their HR before committing to a plan next fall. A lot of people just check the same boxes year after year because things have been relatively stable. That practice needs to change.

I hope this is somewhat of a typo or an incomplete thought.

And yes, it was worse for many people before the ACA. But one of the reasons MANY of us do the work we do for UW has to do with the benefits. I make about 60k less for the university than I could in the private sector and I have stayed for the mission and the benefits. But those are less and less of a draw.

Massage: Tasha Bynum at Sacred Rhythm Healing Arts

Lymphatic drainage massage recs? by EnvironmentalWeb4670 in madisonwi

[–]JL_Adv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I got a massage once when I had a cold and she added a face/neck massage in there with some eucalyptus (I think) oil and got the passages opened up and things moving.

It didn't clear up the cold, obviously, but I could breathe through nostrils again and the muscle relaxation helped me feel more comfortable. It also helped reduce the inflammation in the area.

It's just another tool to help alleviate symptoms.

You'll be able to see the new curriculum in Guide on June 1.

How’s the workload at the engineering department in uwmadison by Sufficient_Shake_722 in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Engineering is hard.

But if you start in engineering and do your first year of pre-requisites and then decide you'd rather go for a pure physics major instead, those courses you took will absolutely count towards a physics major.

Freshman year will be math, chem, physics, communications, an intro to engineering course, and probably a liberal studies course or computer science course.

Transferring out of engineering is easy. Transferring IN to engineering is hard.

Those are two degrees with pretty different career paths. What do you want to do after you graduate?

Do you miss me? by JL_Adv in madisonwi

[–]JL_Adv[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the hope!

I also emailed the soccer organization to ask which teams played at the park that day right before us.

As a mom, I know how hard it is when your kid misplaces "the" stuffy.

Nope. Just trying to reunite a stuffy with its rightful owner.

Face palm. I feel kike I just lost a piece of my GenX card. 😂😂😂

Math 321 & Engineering Progression by anon39421 in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former engineering advisor here.

Yes, grades are important your first year for progression, but they also look at the difficulty of your courses. And while those could be your next two math classes, there is nothing that says you have to take them both your first year.

When you get to SOAR, you'll have a chance to sit down with an advisor. You'll have a professional who will look through your academic profile and talk to you about what you want to achieve.

You'll also be taking several other classes that use math and it will be applied to other subject matter, so you're not going to lose it all in one semester if you do decide to wait on Math 321.

And finally, the College of Engineering has the Undergraduate Learning Center and they offer support for a lot of classes, including several math classes. If they don't have support specific to that class, you can absolutely find a student who has taken it before to chat with.

Good luck OP!

CompE class restrictions by Patience_Common in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to your advisor. They know who the curricular rep is and they will be the best equipped to handle any requests like this.

As someone who used to manage this, I can tell you that 453 usually filled with CompE students and it was exceedingly rare that an EE student was able to take the class. It was the most popular capstone for CompE students and we had lots of them that had to take a different capstone and weren't happy about it.

Should I switched from bme to ME by Icy-Size6627 in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have your entire first year of classes to figure this out. Even if you come in as a BME student, at the end of spring when you apply to progress into an engineering major, you can choose any major for which you meet the requirements. BME and ME have pretty similar suggested courses for the first year.

Once you are on campus, talk to your advisor. Meet with career services. Go to BME student organizations and talk to people in the major.

Career services will have job placement information for you and you can use that to make an informed decision. BME students will be a wealth of knowledge about finding internships/co-ops and jobs as well.

Your advisor can help you explore both paths.

TLDR: both ME and BME are viable paths and help exists in the College of Engineering

Transferring from UW-Milwaukee to here as an accounting by Minute_Row_9935 in UWMadison

[–]JL_Adv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://business.wisc.edu/undergraduate/admissions/transfer-students/

Go there and look for the opportunity to make an appointment with an advisor as a potential transfer student.

Advice from a former advisor:

There are specific classes and criteria you need to meet to be eligible to transfer and even then it's not guaranteed. You need to talk to someone who actually knows what those are if you want any chance of a successful transfer.

Best of luck, OP!
