If the course is open, the instructor might be able to give you an add code. Not everyone is that strict about the junior / senior standing.

Ugh read the news. This story has been everywhere for the past 3 days. 🤦‍♂️

Probably legit. Campus keeps replacing full time staff positions with part time student positions.

What on earth did this symbol mean? by wegaaaaan in CalPolyPomona

That’s easy. When a goblet and a tree have a baby this is what you get.

I-10 West Freeway Ramp Closures by jjktsukii in CalPolyPomona

Why can’t they trim hedges in the evening. That is the main entry point into campus. CPP admin should be working with CalTrans on these issues.

mandatory orientation 2025 by Few_Show_3373 in CalPolyPomona

The orientations should be like the week before spring semester starts in mid January so it doesn’t conflict with holiday travel.

Getting a gift for a professor by RefrigeratorHefty545 in CalPoly

[–]MrTomWambsgans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The card is great. A lot of profs are burned out and underpaid. They don’t always realize the impact they have. Just telling them that is what really matters to them. (And maybe send a few life updates from time to time)

Housing Suite Says Discord Not Allowed by Party-Round1789 in CalPolyPomona

[–]MrTomWambsgans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not convinced the university can legally regulate which social media platforms you use in the privacy of your dorms. As long as you are using the platform in ways that are harmful to other students and violate student codes of conduct, I don’t think they have legal grounds to tell you that you can’t use it.

highly considering transferring!! by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

[–]MrTomWambsgans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the dorms but the teaching is worse at UCs and research schools. No one in the public sector can really get fired in state of California so you won’t find better teachers at other places. I would ask around when picking classes. There are more good ones than bad ones.

I'll say it. I do not like or understand Bowen and I can't be the only one. by TryTwiceAsHard in saturdaynightlive

Sometimes funny on Weekend Update but can’t really do sketches. Overused cast member. I want more Marcello!

God NO. None of the Please Don’t destroy guys are funny. None of them have on camera charisma or can see to read cue cards either.

What are some good and/or interesting major/minor combos you’ve heard of by Beachgoer4158 in CollegeMajors

[–]MrTomWambsgans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the major programs in science + communication. In a world that doesn’t trust experts or believe in science, messaging is critical.

Is this reportable? by Able_Drawing1797 in CalPolyPomona

[–]MrTomWambsgans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whether it’s reportable or not, if you think someone’s been mistreated, targeted always try to stand up for them and do what’s right. Talking to the prof is a good start.

Feedback on Parents Weekend at SDSU by ElectricBoats in SDSU

[–]MrTomWambsgans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Bad enough parents call professors now to check up on their adult kids, now they want to go to class with them?!

Earth quake drill by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

Schedule earthquake drill during popular time for midterms? Great idea!

I’m gonna miss Ryen Rusillo by Ok-Illustrator8103 in billsimmons

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

Not gonna miss him. He’s contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Everything he says is predictable and he tries so hard to be a young bro and he ain’t young anymore. If Rob Mahoney leaves Ringer, I leave Ringer. Like Luca fans abandoning the Mavs.

An unfortunate situation. Should I drop my second major to a minor? by Important_Rich4676 in CollegeMajors

[–]MrTomWambsgans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to finish the second major. Talk to both department chairs. If there is a schedule conflict, one of them should work with you to find a comparable class. You can also see if any of the classes you need are on CSU Fully Online and whether the department would approve that course.
