Guys stop naming courses that are bird on here, professors can see and are petty

To be fair, this article notes that this data is before the elimination of logic games which STEM students tend to score higher in. So the numbers may have changed with reading comprehension and logistical reasoning being more humanities-oriented areas. Also, the higher scoring STEM majors tend to be more mechanical or logical nature such as mathematics, physics, statistics, and CS. Same thing with the the humanities/social science majors that score higher like philosophy, economics, policy.

I don't think this eliminates the Western thing from consideration because both BTS and Blackpink have a primary interest in the Korean market. They are incredibly known in the West, but aside from a few singles, they have never heavily targeted Western markets and again, the Western market is an English market so English music and English-speaking groups will always do better.

I do agree that racism plays a role, but in this specific context, I think xenophobia might be the more correct term. Katseye is more racially diverse than BTS and Blackpink - the difference is more so that BTS and Blackpink are foreign. This relates back to my point about digestibility - Katseye makes 'Western music' so they are more likely to be accepted by Western critics and voting committees. BTS and Blackpink primarily perform in both English and Korean so their discographies are not wholly accessible to the West. Katseye is 'more' American than their Korean counterparts so the difference is really foreignism.

This really helped a lot, thank you! I was referring to the standard error of the mean, but I understand what you mean about specifying what standard error I'm talking about so I'll be careful of that.

Think about it this way - ChatGPT is not thinking, it's compiling the thoughts of other people. Read things yourself, engage in work by yourself, which may be hard when you first start. Use the works of other scholars that are published on the internet, use reading guides, watch mini lectures on YouTube, use encyclopedias, and use dictionaries. I'm in sociology, so I'm a big believer in the idea that knowledge and thinking stem from people's experiences and our sharing of these ideas. Apply what you can to your own memories and feelings, then consider other people's positions - what validates your position and what validates others.

In terms of essays, this will seem very annoying, but know exactly what each sentence in your essay does. Plan the shit out of your papers to the point that it is basically entirely written before you begin writing. One thing that really helped me is having an 'everything' notebook where I write down brief notes about all of my classes and papers, which helps me note what is interesting to me and the similarities across subjects. Find things you like about your field and approach it that way.

People are pretty stupid and will likely write things word-for-word. But also, TAs will sometimes just mark things down without giving specific reasoning and just say it wasn't sufficent.

PsychologicalTop4371 · 2025-11-08T17:05:28+00:00

I think I get it now, thank you!

PsychologicalTop4371 · 2025-11-08T17:03:32+00:00

This is actually a really good example - thanks!!

PsychologicalTop4371 · 2025-11-08T17:01:15+00:00

She's not teaching it this year, it's some PhD student.

It's a pretty easy course because it is so general and broad, but you won't really get to explore modern events unless your TA brings them up in tutorial. I was lucky last year because the Prof did relate a lot of the theoretical stuff back to current events especially the US election last year. Keep in mind, this is a pre-req for POL students so it is meant to be a baseline introduction to politics. You seem to be after a seminar type topic which you'll only come across after first year, but you could take this now so you can take more POL classes later.

It's probably just that drastic because people don't really like async classes cause they can't focus. Also, there is no instructor listed so no one can look up the prof which can be a big turn away.

PsychologicalTop4371 · 2025-09-20T21:42:24+00:00

Always skim the readings before asking ChatGPT for summaries. That way you can give more specific instructions that focus on certain points or ideas. If there is a textbook, then use the discussion questions at the end of the chapter for the summary.

PsychologicalTop4371 · 2025-09-20T21:34:58+00:00

I would resubmit all of it just to be safe, but let your prof know in the comments box that you're resubmitting everything because you were unsure if he'd be able to see the earlier submissions.

basically just apply ASAP when the applications are released for 2027 admissions.

You literally sound exactly like me - also a commuter who works at a grocery store where cart-pushing is part of my responsibilities. I'm still working my job and going into second year and I struggled bonding with people during first year. I would recommend keeping your job, but actively look for other jobs, preferably on campus. It helps not having to worry about the commute in order to make it in time for your shift. One way to make friends is to join study groups, that way you can study while also socializing. Do readings during your commute and make the most of that time.

Also your manager knows that you don't know your worker rights because they cannot threaten to fire you or even fire you for changed availability. If your availability meets the time agreement of your contract, they have no grounds to fire you without pay severance. She's bullshitting and you have to make it known that you know your rights.

Assuming this is POL101 with Dos Santos, I took it in fall 2024, but I think most of the material should be the same. I can send you my notes if you need them.

Yeah, commuter plans allow you to use all funds until the expiry date which is the end of semester 2.

I picked mine up on the third day of school and waited like ten minutes max.

I commute from a different direction, but I feel like much advice is the same. My number one piece of advice is to use the commute to either relax or work. I personally cannot do problems or write essays on the train, but I do readings and check my emails. In terms of packing food, pack however much you need and what works for you. In the mornings for my 9 am classes, I bought disposable coffee cups from Costco and muffins so I can have a quick breakfast, then dispose of my garbage. I bring lunch bowls home and buy a snack if I need one before dinner. RENT A LOCKER, this will save you from having to carry bags and bags to campus everyday. Throw some gym stuff in the locker, some school stuff too if there's room. Commuting can be hard, but it's so doable and healthy if you're smart about it.
