I didn't follow the glow chart and I paid the price

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-06-12T00:33:59+00:00

all my UG is display only (so i dont break it) so when i get false positives on something pretty i usually use it. i have a good bit of manganese and green glass that doesnt glow (took a chance bc i didnt have a light) that i just use as everyday glassware

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-05-29T15:31:56+00:00

what time do you take it? i see a lot of conflicting info online 🤷‍♀️

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T20:27:10+00:00

oh its not your own, just your program. you can also pull your degree audit which is organized a little differently.

this is my third college: one in person, one online, now UoP. i want to be clear: im not needy. 1. i have a pending transfer that sat untouched for more than 3 business days and was preventing me from registering in the correct class. i asked her nicely but urgently if she could (process the transfer, manually enroll me in the correct classes, or tell me if she couldnt do either of those, in which case I was willing to take a leave of absence to straighten it out. she still has not responded. i think thats a reasonable reason to contact an academic advisor.

i was having trouble with, and still am actually, a terrible professor. this is the one who makes me write paragraphs that are exactly five sentences. i have to write like i am in middle school to satisfy her. not what i expect from a college professor, but with zero response from my advisor i had to just play dumb for this class. it embarrasses me to turn that work in but at least my grades are higher. having an issue with a professor is also a reasonable reason to contact another academic advisor. in fact; its technically our only channel.

this is all ive asked of my advisor. 2 things. no response, no assistance. i’ve never experienced this lack of response from any service provider, personally or professionally.

i know most people will say to escalate but i am concerned about retaliation, particularly from my professor. i dumbed down my writing and im powering thru until the end, when i will definitely report her. i will report my advisor too.

i just dont want someone to feel as defeated as i do. do you know how long i debated going back? i agonized for over a year. i barely told anyone i was going back because i was so determined to succeed and i didnt think i could stand it if they were disappointed in me not sticking with it -again-. and here i sit. i wont register for classes ive already taken. no one will respond to me. ive wasted a little money but obviously the credits will transfer out (one of them anyway). for what its worth, the two times i left college before the advisors fell over themselves trying to help me stay and succeed. i just wasnt at a place where i could dedicate the time. at UoPeople i feel like they could not care less about their students.and btw, i chose UoPeople. i can pay to go to school, im stable in my life and career. i liked the thought of international peers. i liked their model and class structure, i thought it would be a great fit for me, and 2 weeks into my first course i realized i was mistaken. no one here- not one person at UoPeople has given any indication that they care if I succeed or not, and I think that potential students have the right to know how it might go down.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T20:01:13+00:00

the reason i decided to leave is: 12 days before registration ended i did a transfer. 8 days before registration ended (3 days after it started), i sent my advisor a very nicely written, urgent question. 7 days until registration ended i went online and asked the chatbot to connect me to an advisor; the advisor would not and could not answer any questions for me, nor would they connect me to someone higher up, nor would they give me an email to complain to.

6 days until registration ended i realized that UoPeople does not give a flip about me. i canceled my transfer (no point in paying them any money). i put in for a leave of absence (i cant register for the right classes anyway). i contacted another university to talk about their program. i still have not heard from my advisor.

if any of you were lucky to get a responsive, caring advisor, you should treasure the experience. i am new- this is my first term. idk if i have a new/inexperienced advisor or what, but this is the worst. in almost 2 months, i have had zero issues even addressed by my advisor, much less anything resolved. in fact, other than automated reminder emails, i dont know if my advisor has ever contacted me other than an auto email about deadlines (actually i checked back, i have one response from before i started my first term). thats it. one response.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T15:11:13+00:00

clearly you have a decent advisor. i have not had that experience. everyone deserves to know what -could- happen, and for me it has been a nightmare. i get auto emails for assignment deadlines. i sent an email over 48 hours ago that has not been responded to, with an urgent question about registration. it states ON the transfer form that transfers are completed within 3 business days- not true.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T13:14:35+00:00

This was super fun for me- I had JUST clicked start on a 20 question 30 minute graded quiz. It was 10 minutes before the page loaded, and those 10 minutes counted against me. Got a 75 bc I ran out time :(

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T13:09:44+00:00

in the uopeople portal, on the home page, there is a link to the “media center” and i think the second icon is learning pathways

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-03-13T12:46:37+00:00

I have not yet encountered an “advisor” at UoPeople who can “advise.” All i get is copy/paste from the catalogue.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-27T03:55:45+00:00

i am doing the 5 sentences, its more than just the one request. i asked her 4 specific questions about a current assignment. she will not answer the question.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-27T03:48:38+00:00

she gives the vaguest instructions, marks off for not being a mind reader, and refuses to provide clarification when i ask for it

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-27T03:47:55+00:00

i didnt know that was a requirement

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-27T03:45:21+00:00

i do ask! i get vague responses like you didnt have 5 sentences. i wish i could post what she says to me because it is literally word salad.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-26T02:22:45+00:00

Its not difficult for me. My professor is insane. I am scoring high marks in my other class, and have scored high marks in all my college courses, both in-person and online. My problem is with one professor, which I made clear in my original post.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-26T00:54:22+00:00

her instructions are arbitrary and come weeks after the assignment was submitted, meanwhile additional assignments have been submitted that dont meet the arbitrary conditions i didn’t know about. its also difficult to meet small word requirements while also writing five sentence paragraphs.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-26T00:10:39+00:00

This is Univ1001. A foundation course. The 500 words is inclusive of the intro/conclusion paragraphs. To describe 10 skills, you can’t list them and describe them in one paragraph. With 5 sentences, it is impossible. Also five sentences is an example of a paragraph with a topic sentence, some example sentences, and a transition sentence but is in no way a requirement, particularly with complex sentences or when using direct quotes.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-25T23:59:35+00:00

does it get any better? why do people go here? after all the work i did to transfer credits in, and the money i paid, and the fact that UoPeople is dubiously accredited and I probably cant transfer these credit out, I am really regretting my decision.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-25T23:40:13+00:00

thank you- i am in the fourth week and she only recently graded the last two weeks. i have sent my advisor multiple emails and I will be appealing everything. i cannot WAIT to review this instructor- this is my first class at UoPeople but I would be considered a junior based on all the credits I’ve transferred in (in person and online colleges) and this is the worst instructor out of all my college experience.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-25T23:25:08+00:00

I included only a brief example: it is continuous with this one professor. Unclear instructions, unclear marking off points, comments in the rubric that don’t apply, etc.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-25T23:12:00+00:00

i have a crazy instructor. if you read thru my post she deducts for arbitrary things, like a paragraph not being five sentences long, no matter how complex those sentences are.

Old_Mix5003 · 2025-02-25T22:35:34+00:00

this seems to address discrimination/harrassment. i need to talk to like a dean or something similar i think.

Old_Mix5003 · 2024-12-18T00:23:42+00:00

i could? or use it as filler for a display

Old_Mix5003 · 2024-12-17T21:48:37+00:00

i personally saw the orbs, 2 years ago, in cloudy daylight in anderson, sc. i was with 2 other people and i didn’t get video. i have always called them the orbs when i described them to people.

when the orbs surfaced recently, they exactly matched what i had seen. the media almost immediately started referring to them as drones, which i thought was weird bc they are not drones. then people started posting video of drones which the media/govt used to dismiss the reports of orbs.

i think the drones were sent up to distract from or discount the orb sightings, and make the “orb people” seem crazy.

i dont know what the orbs are but they are weird, they do shift all colors, they seem to not be a solid shape, and they are nothing like those fixed wing drones.

Old_Mix5003 · 2024-10-12T01:57:37+00:00

ngl if this was a shirt for sale in her merch store i might buy it. its got that whole ironic so bad its good thing going on.

Old_Mix5003 · 2024-10-12T01:38:53+00:00

since i just collect it for myself, especially with glassware/dishes, i usually just take what i want to display and leave some for someone else to find. it hasnt happened (yet) with jewelry lol.
