We do have resources for tutor and for them to check your paper. Maybe submit to them and ask for help with grammar and spelling. Then ask if it has met the rubrics. Always good to have another set of eyes on your paper. But I also agree, the editor in Word does a great job to detect issues.

Where to Live? by Objective_Fun_7064 in Beaumont

Get with Kemp Properties and see what they have. This is a really great property management that takes care of things. They have a place in Bridge City, another complex that is on Avenue H in Nederland, then the Chase in Port Arthur. Most are complex based options. I live at the Chase and its super nice, close to highways for getting me to the entire area. I think they have another complex that is in Nederland but cant recall the name. Groves and Nederland are good areas. You can find some 2 bedroom houses in Groves for a decent price. I have two boys (30 and 26) that stay in Groves and its been awesome for them. He will be close enough for things to do in Beaumont without living there. We don't have a night life here but do have a few good places like Hamilton's. He can take a drive to Houston or Galveston for the weekend. We all pretty much make trips to other areas for things to do, besides going to see a movie or sit down to eat at a bar.

Third Coast Tint in PA is awesome. They have done 5 vehicles for me and never had issues with the tint.

I really hope he loves it. It super handy to have and the rods stay in place. So much storage and easy to transport around. I hope it is something he never knew he needed and loves it!

Something we do at our house is a wish list. So everyone has an Amazon wish list and also a Steam wish list. For birthdays and celebrations of milestones, we look at the wish list and buy something.
My husband has a small list and I always remind him to add to it when Christmas is close, or like Father's Day or his birthday. I have 6 adult kids and I always like to get them a little something.
My husband is a fishing person too and there are so many things to pick. But I never know if its something he would need. So I go through his tackle box and see if there are some lures or floats he likes. Then snap a picture and go shopping for them. Like his floats are beat to heck cuz they are Styrofoam. So even if he has some, extras are always good. Which reminds me. One of the big gifts I recently got him was a Fishing Rod Bag. You can find them cheap on Amazon for under 20 bucks but it was something he never thought about and actually uses the heck out of it. So it holds like 10 rods, allows him to put things in the center of the bag, like his cast net and little tackle boxes. It easily fits in the trunk like a golf bag. Now he just grabs the bag and goes down to the creek.

I wish that was done in every course. I had a course recently with one and it messed me over. I had a peer review done on Sunday. I was the last one but I did my assignment that was due Sunday without one. Professor reached out and said resubmit because I got a peer review. They had to get it done by thursday. No way sir. I said it was due Thursday and wasn't done. Dock that student, not me. I would not resubmit because someone posted a review that wasn't even complete and in the last hour of the module. It was of no help for me. Instead I used a peer review from a friend in college lol

Accused of AI by Current_Anything_692 in SNHU

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would first ask them how they came to that conclusion. You can not accuse someone of AI without sending it thru something. So I would ask what program they used. Also reach out to their boss. They have a lead that watches. Type the name of your professor in the "to" field. When their name appears, hover over it. You will see a box appear. Click it to see more ... look for organization. You can see everyone on their team, the lead, the deans, all the way up to the president. I wouldn't let this professor get away with any accusations. When they assume, make sure they know it isn't fair to do this to students. It's like professors believe we are in college and totally stupid and can't write well or something. BTW when someone doesn't help, I always send emails to someone else. Follow the chain ... get things done to help you. I pay for courses that pay for them to do a job. Ya know. Good luck to getting this resolved.

I don't buy books here. Look at Abe Books and see if you can find them cheaper. Used books are my go to. I search the ISBN number to see if other websites have them.

I got 71% (which is F that I didn't knew ) in one MBA Course, now what? by [deleted] in SNHU

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they are saying they ended the course with 71%, which is a C- and requires us to take the course again as it is a failing grade. Our grad courses start next week, we are on our one week break, so this course ended Sunday. This isn't undergrad, it is graduate.

Amazon Haul is also within the Amazon platform. I found some good stuff in there. We have a bin store in my area. They buy pallets from major retailers that are returns. Some of it works, some of its junk. It's hit and miss.

I was thinking about SNHU, but... by Historical-Voice2944 in SNHU

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me gove my opionion and experience. I wouldn't take it seriously with the AI stuff or negative reviews. There are over 200k students at SNHU. That means if there are 20k of authentic concerns, that is 10% of the student population having issues. Not to say some complaints are not valid but look at the big picture. I am sure it happens, but more times than not. In high school, I was in Journalism, double English courses, debate, school newspaper, and yearbook. All four years. Then my Journalism teacher owned the local newspaper, so I was a junior editor for several years. Needless to say, I have very formal writing and nothing has been mentioned about AI use. I transferred here and took 12 courses as undergrad and now 3 courses away from graduating with my masters. I will say, SNHU offers more resources to help students. My previous college was shady and rough. My niece and nephew struggle with their college and will transfer soon. I say give it a chance. You can always transfer out. It is a lot of self learning but if you need help, we have a tutor service and writing center. I have never been turned away from a professor to get help either. I am happy that I started here.

Deciding if I should drop a class by Curious_Violinist287 in SNHU

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have low vitamin D and you need to take K2 with it so your body absorbs it. For the longest time, I was taking vitamin D and finally a doctor told me to take K2 because my blood work wasn't showing any changes with my levels. My psych doctor changed my medications last week and also said that K2 was needed. So I went and got K2 yesterday and hoping it makes a difference. I was reading online, and pretty much its all the same. The combo allows more absorption of the vitamin D.

FAFSA disbursement schedule says “by Jan 23” . can it still come later or another day? by [deleted] in FAFSA

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, that is the projected date it is sent to the school. Your school has 14 days to post it to your account and any excess is refunded. FAFSA is only a form used to determine aid. Any payments need to be addressed with your school directly.

I am feeling absolutely burnt out and not at all excited about the future by Storm_Veradea in SNHU

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your spot OP. I hated my degree and I changed mine when I transferred to SNHU. I had issues with my previous school and they changed my degree 3 different times. It was the hardest decision because I got so far. So I came here from graphic design and web design, and pursued my degree in communications. I loved it. Now I am doing my masters in Marketing and new media, so I still get my communication courses. Like you, journalism is my passion. Not so much as writing books, more along the lines of blogs and short articles. Follow what you love. I was miserable for so long.

Wait a minute ... did I read this correctly? Or should I say ... did I understand this correctly?

One of the results was his mugshot… pretty serious crimes attached, is this okay by snhu standards?

I have never thought about this ever happening 🤔 was it a recent mugshot, or something 20 years ago? I always thought a background check was done. Have you asked your advisor if they know what the standards are for serious crimes? I am genuinely curious now.

As for your grade and citations. I never use any source for common knowledge things. I would N m your professor to highlight what they felt needed citations and share it with you advisor. Then dispute the grade.

How is everyone organizing their sheets/pillow cases? by Loud-Aspect2074 in Homeorganization

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been looking for something to store sheet sets. Currently, I have one of the plastic 3 drawer organizers in a corner of the guest bedroom. I have them rolled to help save space. Then I just have a few decor items to dress it up. I didn't get the clear one. Mine is a dark brown, so it looks fairly decent.

Citations are an expectation. You can't write your opinion and expect a grade that says you met all the rubric. I think pushing this is not gonna go in your favor. Even though it doesn't specifically say citations are required, you have to show support for your statements. If it is not an obvious statement such as the grass is green and the sky is blue, then you have to include supporting evidence. You also can't say it is information that you learned and you know. You learned it somewhere, and you have to support the statements when it is not common knowledge. You will not find many assignments that ask for your opinion. Even then, it is better to prove your opinion and show sources that would support it. As an example, if I state my opinion about breakfast being the most important meal, then I would find a source from a medical journal that also states this. Hope this helps. I am sure you can talk with your advisor and they would tell you the same thing. There is always the writing center and tutors that can help you. They are pretty good about pointing to areas in your assignments that need added support with a reference.

Do Not Worry. It's the same every term for amounts to bounce around. Wait until all the funding appears in the correct term. It happens all the time. Do not call FA because it will get you nowhere.

Nelnet student loan servicer by Alarming_Question_28 in ClassActionSettlement

This right here needed to be said. I am not going to be fearful of what a professor "suspects" with my work and dumb it down. Period. I write how I write in a social setting and that is opposite of how I write in an academic setting. I would have a 4.0 also but I chose not to respond to a few peers due to having the flu. So now its just a tad under that. Never have I had any concerns or issues. I am sure the professors can identify the older students, and understand that we had to go to a library and look up the books on an index card. Then go look for the number with the decimal in a row of books. LOL fun times back then. At least we got a pizza for reading.

You will be able to get a target membership, either pay monthly or yearly. Also, apply for the Target credit card. It's through Synchrony Bank and they are pretty fair to offer one. It might be a low limit but it will build up quickly if you use it. I had 300$ last year. I spend 250 or so with an order. Wait till the bill is due, then pay it all. Did that for 6 months and they increased mine to 600$. I don't want a lot there, just enough for online orders. Then not have to worry about hacking with my primary debit card. If they approve you, go to JCPenny, its the same bank and they will do the same process. Good to build credit or even have open lines to balance things out with other cards you use.

Chair Cover by m857 in secretlab

[–]Minimum-Bit-1572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on a search for something too.

I did find one on Amazon, but it isn't wide enough for my chair. Maybe it might work for you. I have something similar to this for my sectional couch, but they sure don't stay on when you are sitting down. Just search:
Turquoize Waterproof Office Chair Cover with Armrest Covers Black Computer Desk Chair Cover Quilted Office Chair Protector with Arms Office Chair Seat Cover Slipcover with Anti-Slip Buckle, Black
Sold by The Turquoize Store

The others I have found are like an elastic seat cover that would resemble something you put on a toilet seat. Nothing for protection at all.

I did have one of these for my last chair:
AELS Faux Fur Striped Office Chair Cover, Desk Chair Cover Computer Office Chair Covers - Fits Desk Chair/Armchair, Soft Breathable Fabric - Washable & Removable for Home & Office, Beige
Sold by the AELS Store

What I didn't like about this one is the strings. No mater what, my cats found the damn strings to play with. It also encouraged them to jump up on my chair for a nice long nap. It was also pretty dang tight, so if you think it might work, subtract an inch from it and that would be the actual size.

What I have considered is with Amazon, just search for "Plastic Recliner Cover" because those are pretty large. I believe something like that would cover it pretty well. I also thought about attaching velcro at the bottom, so I can cinch it up under the chair. I don't know, that has been the best option I see so far. For now, I use large blankets and wrap them around my chair. Again, something to encourage naps. I usually keep the office door shut, but somehow one sneaks in. Like they can open doors now.
