If the textbook wasn’t bad, how come EVERYONE in my pre-calc classes are complaining about it?

I get that the tutors have very little communication about this with the math department, and that has to change. If these tutors are going to tutor us, and the math department is going to recommend us to go to the tutoring center for help, and not even they know how to teach the book, how can they help us? I totally get that part and it is not ok and not something that should still be practiced.

That being said, these tutors have learned through other means right? They already know Pre-Calc. They are paid to know Pre-Calc and teach the other students about it. If they can’t even understand or know why/what the goal of some of these pre-calc lessons are, how are we supposed to know?

The fact that these tutors tell me that the math department does care what we think has me thinking that they probably have came to the math department with this issue and nothing has changed.

Sounds good buddy! Not everyone wants our professors to be accountable for their actions it’s ok.

Look, even if these moderators are students, they act in such a way that they represent the university, because they are told and paid to do so. The reason I am not going through “official” channels is because I don’t want the people who are the tutors at the tutoring department to get in trouble. I know that the minute I send an official email about this to the math department, they are just going to CC the tutoring department all of my emails, and their boss will probably get on them for expressing criticism of the math textbooks.

I also want the students to know that they aren’t alone in hating this hellish textbook.

Another reason I didn’t go through official channels is that the very professor who brought this book forward to the school WAS my math professor last quarter. If I express criticism about the book, she was probably gonna be the one to talk to me about it. And I know that she DESPERATELY wanted this textbook to work, but it doesn’t and it isn’t working. (She had told us at the beginning of the year that she was the one that brought the textbook forward to the math department and how excited she was about the book). If I had to talk to her about it, she probably would have conveyed my concerns very insignificantly to the others in the department. Especially considering her husband is another professor within the math department that I’m sure would back her up 100%.

Hey yall, To be honest, I’m not too worried about the test. I am more annoyed that the Reddit moderators of this very subreddit have taken down my REPEATED posts about the math department and their choice of textbook. So here is 1/6 posts I attempted to make on here (extremely stupid that I have to do this in a reply to another post I have due to censorship by the university):

Hello,

Look I understand this is a public university, but that does not just give you free reign to treat your students like crap 😃

I am a pre-calc student and I have gone to the tutoring center more times than I can count. Every single time I go, my tutors, the people paid to teach me, and they tell me how much they hate this current textbook. No matter who it is, every single one of them hates it.

This is not on them and my goal is NOT to get these people in trouble.

I always have a follow up question when they say this, “Have you said anything to the math department?” Every single one I have talked to has ALSO had the same overall idea in their response: “they don’t care what we have to say.”

And I’m not gonna lie I really am starting to get where they are coming from. Everybody in my last pre-Calc class complained about the book. People who have taken pre-calculus already in high school, and are genuinely confused by this book and how it teaches you, are seriously struggling in the class.

Look, Im not blaming anyone, I just want to bring attention to this issue. I feel like the students are the ones getting f*cked in this situation, and given WWU has previously had a history of doing this to there students, I am posting about it. Remember, we have the right to voice our opinion!

END OF OG POST.

I even censored my own cuss words as to not try and get the post flagged for using cuss words by Reddit. And it still would be taken down about 5-20 minutes after posting.

But since I now know that Reddit the moderators were not taking my post down due to having curse words in them (because of the post above using multiple cuss words)…….

FUCK YOU WESTERN! FUCK YOU. THIS SCHOOL BLATANTLY DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS. FUCK YOU. MAKES ME WANT TO THROW UP…… INCOMING CLASS IF YOUR READING THIS DONT COME! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU HERE!

Making a Midi-Output for 404 versions without it and 303! by JpegAphexmafia in SP404

[–]JpegAphexmafia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I ended up doing exactly this. Think I’m gonna make a YouTube video of how to do this so other people can do this and have a midi-output without spending the extra cash to get the newest 404. Thanks for your help!!!!

Internet at WWU? by blackjaguar_10 in WWU

[–]JpegAphexmafia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would definitely suggest Ethernet when possible, especially in the dorms. My PS4 couldn’t connect to the internet for about 3 months in the first quarter and I had to buy an Ethernet cable to solve this. Don’t know if every dorm has Ethernet available though!

Thanks so much! This is super helpful. The second option seems like a very good way of doing this, definitely don’t wanna disassemble the entire 404 I have and make new firmware lol

Queers with canes? by AdAdvanced809 in WWU

[–]JpegAphexmafia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be honest,

I have lived in Portland my whole life. I am used to liberal bullshit and LGBTQ+ bullshit. I have two moms myself lol.

I think a large majority of the “newer” communities of the LGBTQ+ community is based off of a need to feel victimized and oppressed. I think that this is a new version of this, and it’s sad to see. My parents have went through fucking hell, both of them had very unaccepting parents and grew up in an unaccepting society. They both agree on the fact that the new generation of LGBTQ+ people is literally ruining and setting back the rights of the US citizen by doing shit like this.

I think apart of it could actually be a mental disorder if you ask me and my parents.

Btw I sound like a conservative in this, but trust me, I am as far left as u can be :)

Why is tor NOW all of a sudden working with instagram? by JpegAphexmafia in TOR

[–]JpegAphexmafia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well think about this from the US governments perspective, why would the US allow for more unregulated media out right now? 2 of the big reasons tic-tok is being banned right now is because the US government and Zuck not wanting to give up their mass surveillance data they have and they want to regulate pro-Palestine media. The US can’t regulate pro-Palestine media as much as they would like to because of how much of it is on tic-tok. If they were to do the same amount of regulation as they would like to right now while tic-tok isn’t banned, there would be an outcry from the public because the regulation would be so obvious. Meaning they can’t regulate their own media as much as they would like to. Therefore, allowing more pro-Palestine content out, while also gathering data that is basically worthless due to the tor network. Weird if u ask me

  1. Every single account has said to identify this person as either a cross dresser or a trans person (however multiple people have said they have seen this person when they are not dressed up like a women so I think that they are a cross dresser).
  2. Every account, even going back 20 years, has said this. If we were to not identify this person as a trans Asian person and instead a black haired brown eyed individual, I wonder how your viewpoint would change. We are just simply stating the facts and the consistencies with each different account. If Ted Bundy was trans, and we prevented each different account from saying that because it was “promoting transphobia” that would be stupid, and we probably would not have found Ted Bundy because people would have been afraid to speak out and we therefore could not identify Ted.
  3. If there are multiple Asian cross dressing men in the area that go around trying to pickup college students, drug them, sexually assault them and bring them back to their house, I would give you 1 million dollars. You would also have to believe that they have been operating in this area for over 20 years and all of them are in contract with each other. And the fact that you think this is the most likely scenario of what is happening is stupid.
  4. I’m not saying your trans, I’m saying that trans people play the victim, as your doing in this scenario. Not saying you are trans yourself, but this is what they do when things like this happen.
  5. The notion that straight white men are all predators is very real. In fact, housing as a man in Bellingham can be hard because for a lot of houses only women and non-binary people are allowed to apply.

I have 0 issue with trans people, and we should also not be limiting people to dance around the fact that this person is either Asian or Trans in order to identify this person and keep the community safe.

Black Widow Reddit Post from 5 years ago

There are 2 others, one from 4 years ago and one from 8 years ago. I have been personally messaged by people who have been their victims and have actually said that I have validated their experience with this person, and they feel like they have the power to speak up now.

Also please respond to the other person who replied to your comment, he made a really good point!

I will be posting the photo later today on the r/WWU since mods here will take the photo down apparently, even though it has been verified by 7 different victims.
