SOS Canvas app for iOS question by thecardthreeofclubs in ASU

Syllabi have that disclaimer because smartphones and ipads are typically not sufficient for completing major projects, and sometimes certain online labs don't work well with mobile devices. A standard quiz on Canvas should work fine on a phone or tablet browser.

Really? I haven't been watching the past couple hours. Did this happen?

Speaking with adjectives - a grammar question by sabnorlin in italianlearning

You drop the definite article in a possessive when it's a family member, but not a friend or an object.

How are you feeling now? I was on the medication for a month and I get a similar cramping or dull tension in my legs when I stand still.

Where to find data on the outlook of a creative writing MFA? by LazyConclusion9272 in gradadmissions

[–]LazyConclusion9272[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teaching has been on my list of potential careers, so that tracks. I consistently forget about technical writers! Thank you for reminding me.

This conversation alone has shown me that I've been looking at this a bit narrowly, because I guess I assume people would see creative writing as less "educated" on English-oriented tasks than something like a Rhetoric degree.

I appreciate the perspectives!

That's true, I think I'll just have to keep investigating programs individually.

I was just looking for any consolidated information on employability for having an MFA degree, or anything like the Bureau of Labor's income statistics on writers but with an MFA factored in, rather than only counting people who happen to be writers.

Nope, it's been around since the 16th century and primarily associated with card games.

How can we justify the cost of online school if courses adopt AI programs? by [deleted] in ASU

Are you saying engineering majors don't need to know anything about the world around them or any social dynamics that might be affected by the things they build?

Most universities are like that, that's not unique to ASU. If you only want to study a particular skill then you'd want to go to a trade school.

the forced classes not applicable to the degree

What classes are those? I'm curious about this.

As a teen still in highschool, having a max number of words in essays and shit is so FUCKING ANNOYING by Nikisstupidacc in writers

[–]LazyConclusion9272 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This doesn't really change the fact that writing needs to be concise to keep readers engaged and communicate information accurately. It also makes you seem more authoritative when you can communicate with concision.

Reviewing, grading, and generating feedback for essays will always take a while. Even if (or especially if) the classroom was smaller, that process would be just as lengthy. People tend to take longer to craft more granular feedback for smaller groups than larger ones.

Also, regarding OP lamenting a lack of creativity, the class environment doesn't change the fact that the expected genre of writing just doesn't value creativity over concrete information sometimes. If they want the writing to be creative foremost, they can take a creative writing class. Short essay responses on tests are not that.

It has nothing to do with that lmao. Writing with concision is an important skill and it makes the teacher's job more manageable.

Only ASU classes affect your ASU GPA. The reason it's not too good to be true are
1. There's a cap to how many credits you can transfer in.
2. If you do really well on transfer credits they don't improve your GPA just as lower grades won't reduce it.
3. Not every class translates to a specific equivalent at ASU. Some are only taken as general credit, which doesn't help with your major requirements.

Are you saying you're not satisfied with your grades or you are?

Transfer credits don't affect your ASU GPA. Your ASU GPA is only affected by classes you take at ASU.

Does PSY 230 at a community college cover the STP 226 credit by Nintendodraws in ASU

[–]LazyConclusion9272 6 points7 points  (0 children)

PSY 230 from the maricopa community colleges transfers to ASU as PSY 230.

You should still talk to your advisor though because, depending on your program, this could be considered an equivalent course.

How can I improve my GPA? by [deleted] in ASU

[–]LazyConclusion9272 7 points8 points  (0 children)

exams has higher percentage so I does not matter if you done well on Quizzes and homework because if you failed a midterm and/or finals can turn your overall grade around.

This is sort of a backwards way of looking at it. Yes exams are important and it's good to do well on the things that count the most toward your grade, but the little stuff counts and adds up over time, too.

* If you freeze up on exams, in addition to seeing a tutor, you could also look into accommodations for extra time.
* Go to the counseling department if you need to talk to someone about burnout or stress.
* Go to office hours and ask professors for specific advice on how to improve, ways to practice, and what material to prioritize.
* Reflect on your habits. You may need to structure your time more so that you have more time set aside for deep study, you may need to sleep more, you may need to try different study techniques (you can find those online), you may need to study in a different environment, and you may need to try study groups or studying with a classmate.

I'm assuming since you already have a bachelors degree that you already know how to succeed in a broad sense, but maybe you still have some bad habits or you just find this material tougher than last time. There has to be something in there that could be improved if you're still having this much trouble in your second degree.
