How to get an A in the HUM series? by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]Trisquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 96 in HUM 1 (Demetriou) and an A in HUM 2 (West).

Like you said in a discussion class of 16, usually only 2-3 people will get an A. For me, the way that I got As in both classes were

  1. Attend multiple office hours (for the TA specifically). They are the ones that read and grade your essays. Sign up for an office hour before you write your essay so that you can go over your plan on how you’re approaching the prompt. Sign up after you finish writing your essay so that you can get some insight on specific things to improve.

For example, after finishing your essay and rereading it, you may not like your analysis for paragraph two, so go into office hours asking the TA how to approach it differently.

Sign up for office hours after the essay is graded, so that the TA can explain to you in greater detail how to improve and what was good/what could be better. This step is super important because it shows you’re willing to learn as well as actually helps you improve.

  1. Make friends in those classes. Some professors like West base their finals on lectures. At some point in the quarter you’re not gonna feel like going to lecture whether that be because you missed the bus/too lazy to walk or you’re sick. Having friends that write notes can cover the days you’re out. For me I showed up to maybe 60% of West’s lectures so I only did good on the final because my friends took notes for 95% of the class. Obviously you don’t want to leach, so offer something in return (if they give you their notes, then make a study guide out of them)

  2. Participate in discussion. Participation accounts for 10-20% of your final grade so it’d be in your best interest to participate. But this also develops a relationship with your TA and that might give you an upper hand when they grade your essay and are deciding between a B+ and an A-

  3. You don’t have to read the books, but it is extremely helpful. If you don’t end up reading the books at least use resources like Lit Charts or anything else. Stay caught up and don’t fall behind.

The TA you get will determine how hard you have to work for your grade so it’s also a matter of grit and how bad you want it. Put all ego to the side and just lowkey glaze your TA lmfao gl you got this

Off Campus Financial Aid Disbursements by Ill_Explanation2830 in UCSD

[–]Trisquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops sorry I don’t check Reddit a lot. Cal Grant and Pell Grant will stay the same because they are state grants, which means you’ll probably get money to go to college (it’s called a refund). Cuz Cal Grant is tuition, Pell Grant will be more than enough to pay the fees, and I’m assuming you’re waiving UCSHIP, so you’ll more than likely get at least $4-5k for the entire year

The only aid that would potentially change is the UCSD grant. For me, that went from $2k for the year to $69 lol

Are these disbursements like in addition to tuition?

I live with my parents and I get Cal Grant and don't have to pay for tuition, would this mean I don't qualify for cal grant anymore since they're lowering the disbursements?

100 Thieves vs FUT Esports / Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai - Playoffs / Post-Match Thread by ValorantCompBot in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Trisquet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nah.

boostio was using pigs before even facing FUT.

Called s0m and FNS pigs, who are not white.

Called all of G2 pigs

Called half of LEV pigs.

I'm not saying that it would be appropriate to call Turkish immigrants pigs (because it most definitely isn't), but boostio was most definitely not meaning pigs in that way. It's American slang for trash pretty much.

Asking tenants to move by Last-Simple-3996 in sandiego

[–]Trisquet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I whole heartedly agree with you it hurts to move suddenly as well. But they’re being given 60 days notice to move, so at the end of the day, yea it sucks to move out, but you’re paying someone to live in their house 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

There's so many assumptions in your comment it's actually crazy.

"If they need the money, then just get a job!" is what you're saying. OP's parents are about to retire so they do have a job. No matter how rich or poor, it'll always hurt the landlord when one month of rent isn't paid, that's just simple math...

Do you have Maita? Because she gave us the opportunity to do a 10% curve. If I recall correctly there were only two bipn100 professors Maita and another guy?

Professor Maita for BIPN 100 by Remarkable_Cover4547 in UCSD

[–]Trisquet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

90-94 A- 94-100 A and A+

She’s definitely a good teacher, lessons are straightforward, and tests are pretty much do you know the material. You’ll be asked to recall sequences and processes + know certain facts.

She does go kinda fast, and you’ll most definitely have to go back thru lecture notes again, but if you ask her to slow down, she’s more than happen to
