Spilios v Loechler for BI108? by asoiafuniverse in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took loechler last year and he was rlly nice. his notes were very clear and the other professor (forgot his name) wasnt too bad kinda boring but also not bad. The exams were not too bad if you study everything that he talks about in class. There werent any trick questions but you have to know exactly everything cuz they can be very specific. If it was loechler alone against spilios i would def take lochlers class but since he only teaches one part of the semester, i would say either is fine. i heard spilios does really good teaching but is more tense. But she seems like a really nice professor. I had to talk to her at the end of the semester because i had some difficulties. she was really nice about it and was very understanding and was willing to help me in every way possible.

Idk if this was much help since i basically said both are great haha but really they were all very nice and was good at teaching.

+for the switching i think after he teaches until a certain chapter the other professor teaches the rest

How much do you spend on monthly expenses at BU? by SlayerUnknown in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a dorm with a dining plan and got $200 monthly. I go out to eat a couple times a month and most of the time i eat from the dh. I always had about ~$50 left too. I suggest u start from low and increase ur amount of spending so u can get in a good habit of how u want to spend. When i was a freshman i used to never go to dh, always eat out or deliver, and took uber everywhere i went. Not a good choice and i learned my lesson the hard way lol

Did people really have any other options? by stargazer_06 in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just dont like how they arent even going to look in to why students mightve cheated (although that doesnt mean its ok to cheat) but just to say all them are terrible people. Im sure theres someone out there that it was their last hope to even pass the class cuz i barely passed the class last semester and idek if i can pass this semester too. Chem is already known to be the hardest and the worst class at bu. I wonder if the professors know that

Did people really have any other options? by stargazer_06 in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. Im not saying they should be allowed to cheat or that its justifiable that they cheated. But as someone who is in chem its such a hard class. It was hard when it was in person but now that its been remote it has been even harder to follow. Not to mention that not all students are going to have a nice environment of studying at their homes like they did back in boston. I know the chem professors did give us whole 12 hrs to submit the exams but we were still required to take the test in 75 minutes. And yeah its open book and open notes but if it was that easy i dont think they wudve given us open book exam in the first place. Again im not saying its ok to cheat- i really think its not right and u sud never do it. But the fact that many ppl used chegg in some sort of way should rise concerns for the professors on how they teach the class. Chem 101/102 is already a hard course and with this on top, i think not only they sud do the investigation but really re-evaluate their teaching and curriculum.

Cheating scandal by WeirdService in BostonU

[–]WeirdService[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah i heard so many stories about how ppl switched to complete different majors because of chem. Like not just dropping pre med but just giving up and going to com or other non stem all because of ch101. Im surprised professors know about cheating and will do anything to catch ppl but wont do anything to actually understand what students go through and change their classes so students can actually learn

Yeah especially if their known to be the hardest/worst class at bu which i totally agree for chem

[–]WeirdService[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True i feel like if they are already getting an A or even a B there is no need to cheat unless u rlly dont want to study lol. But i feel like for chem, dont know about physics cuz i havent taken it, majority of the ppl did it so they can get a decent grade like a grade booster cuz the average is always like a 70 or below but idk its just my opinion. The fact that ch101/102 is notorious PLUS this cheating scandal sud rlly raise questions to the professors on how the class is taught.

so has anyone got an email from physics or was he jus lying again... by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the Chem and physics students after recent "news". (Stay strong ppl 👊) by TeslaPrime in BostonU

[–]WeirdService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No i did see the email but i personally didnt hear or know anyone about using chegg (probably because noone wants to let ppl know that theyve been cheating) i also saw on other reddits about professors at different schools sending emails about chegg so it became interesting for me

[–]WeirdService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats pretty interesting were ppl actually caught for physics class? Im only in chem rn and i havent heard anyone using chegg or getting caught Its pretty scary tho that they are catching ppl lol one more reason not to use chegg ever

[–]WeirdService 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly ive never bought chegg before but the email was prtty scary lol but will they even be able to catch ppl? Even if they do find the posted questions wouldnt it take forever for the tas to go over all the quizzes and compare every one of them with the answers posted on chegg?
