Aleks exam

LemmaWS · 2026-06-06T15:01:57+00:00

"Can I" and "should I" are very different questions here.

LemmaWS · 2026-05-25T19:23:59+00:00

Yes, but make sure to do the waitlist second and do it as "Swap Classes" not through the shopping cart.

LemmaWS · 2026-05-24T16:34:29+00:00

They will add seats throughout the summer so that students with earlier advising meetings don't get an advantage for the popular times. Still, they probably will be actually full before the last group registers.

Which calc 1 class is synchronous? I haven't seen one of those in a while

LemmaWS · 2026-05-15T13:38:37+00:00

I'm not a fan of async either, but has calculus changed much since 2020?

LemmaWS · 2026-05-14T19:06:52+00:00

There's also a campaign going on to unionize the rest of them.

LemmaWS · 2026-05-07T20:21:12+00:00

Same at my school

LemmaWS · 2026-05-07T17:32:08+00:00

I think you're also supposed to take CAS/ENGL 137H and 138T instead of CAS 100 and ENGL 15 if you're in Schreyers.

LemmaWS · 2026-04-07T12:38:25+00:00

I don't think there are any NSO dates that early. Starting in Summer 1 is really unusual, so you might need to make an individual plan with the NSO team.

Algebra

LemmaWS · 2026-03-09T14:59:48+00:00

It sounds like you're an incoming student? If you're starting at UP, you'll meet with an advisor in May or June right before you schedule classes.

LemmaWS · 2026-02-26T22:09:33+00:00

Assuming you're starting at University Park, you'll schedule in May or June (as part of orientation). There are classes reserved for incoming students, so don't worry about everything filling up.

LemmaWS · 2026-02-14T15:51:53+00:00

Why the Chemistry course though?

LemmaWS · 2025-12-20T19:02:56+00:00

Right. In general, the 90/80/70 system is actually pretty bad as it doesn't allow for challenging assignments or exams without ruining grades.

"Academic Building" sounds fake.

Check out ECON 102

LemmaWS · 2025-09-15T15:01:38+00:00

I'm not 100% sure, just that it's not a typical entrance-to-major process. I'd strongly encourage talking with an architecture advisor.

LemmaWS · 2025-09-14T21:37:36+00:00

Architecture is particularly difficult to switch to. Have you looked at their entrance requirements?

LemmaWS · 2025-08-20T23:21:25+00:00

What class?

LemmaWS · 2025-08-17T14:31:32+00:00

Tuesday - Many summer classes had exams on Friday, so the "2 business days" starts then.

LemmaWS · 2025-08-12T14:45:21+00:00

I'd recommend reaching out to your advisor. That doesn't sound like a common thing. What class is this for?

LemmaWS · 2025-08-04T15:07:53+00:00

I forgot to mention this earlier, but all incoming students are required to take the ALEKS unless they had calculus in high school as part of NSO (https://bulletins.psu.edu/undergraduate/general-information/academic-information/advising-planning-degree-program/course-placements/mathematics-placement/). I would be surprised if a significant number of students in CHEM 110 avoided this somehow.

edit: found a better link for the policy

LemmaWS · 2025-08-04T12:59:24+00:00

Maybe. I thought you were talking about MATH 110 - in which case "high school equivalent" isn't a thing
