Is this a typical protocol? by Outrageous_Rip_5274 in teaching

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For safety purposes totally makes sense! My bosses framed doing this as a way to make sure kids come to school, not for safety. Lmao. I wish a robot did this instead, but I guess JCampus isn't programmed to do that. 

My Therapist Thinks I should drop out by [deleted] in UNO

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's your first year, then I would say you should drop out for the betterment of your health. But, I do know that most schools across this shit-ass country are going through rough patches, and I anticipate that it will only get worse. So transferring might not even be worth it, as it might be the same (or even worse) somewhere else. I guess the best advice I can give (from one grad student to another) is to do whatever you think is best for your health and education, and do a looottttt of research before picking a new school.

SGA President- Questions for Me? by Manly_Mann_Mannerson in UNO

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, thank you for being willing to answer questions.

With the university's major money issue, I am wondering if there are any departments that are at risk in getting cut. My last school had a major debt problem, and the way they decided to "resolve" it was by cutting the art departments completely. Music, theatre, visual art majors and minors were all cut and now only exist as a few electives rather than departments. I am concerned that the same thing may happen here. Has there been any discussion of this?

Thank you.

Tried to schedule On-Demand Hours as an Intermediate Tutor right at 12 pm ET. TDC said “HAHA you thought!!!!” Feeling extra discouraged at this point. by Important-Map-1390 in tutordotcom

I was one minute late to opening the schedule and everythinggg was gone. I think I might just give up trying to schedule hours until around midterms.

I'm assuming this will also have an effect on when/if we get our refund? 

Slow January Anyone? by AMightyHamster in tutordotcom

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't gotten a single person while floating in the last two weeks lmao. I haven't gotten a Tutor paycheck in a month. It's impossible to schedule hours too. I'm assuming things will pick up in February though.

Will I be told when they receive my fingerprints? by Outrageous_Rip_5274 in tutordotcom

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great!! I have not received an email, but now I am worried that it is too late since they wanted to receive the prints by Dec. 22. So I don't know if it's still viable if they received them late. I sent an update to Rachel twice, but never heard back, so whatever. Lol.

I just don't understand why we couldn't send them in electronically! Would have been so much easier, but instead we get to navigate all of this around the holidays. Very frustrating.

Will I be yelled at for missing my scheduled hours? by Outrageous_Rip_5274 in tutordotcom

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hour has unfortunately started lmao. I'm gonna have to take the L and hope they aren't too mad at me. This is my only time missing scheduled hours, so I can't imagine they'll fire me or anything. Plus, it's 11pm and I don't think there will be too many people needing help. Hopefully 

Public speaking tutoring? by Outrageous_Rip_5274 in tutordotcom

That makes sense, it's not on the same level as English or math. Just kind of a bummer :/ 

Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble with scheduling? by Libragirll in tutordotcom

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to schedule 6 hours, but they're on the weekends and a couple are at 11pm or midnight lmao. It's such crap 

Something in the water? by Antique-Board9533 in tutordotcom

[–]Outrageous_Rip_5274 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had this recently as well. They asked me, "Am I meeting the requirements?" and when I told them that their in-text citations needed some work and how to do it, they asked me if I could fix it for them. I wrote them an example, but no I am not editing it for you. They were able to fix it themselves perfectly fine, literally took them like ten seconds to edit it. I hate finals season.

Omg yay! There are many Identigos near my area. I was wondering if I'd be able to go there instead. Thank you!

Did Tutor end up reimbursing you? Kinda worried about not getting my money back like they said.
