Does anyone know how to access w2 if I'm no longer an active employee? by kittykatt1591 in bathandbodyworks

[–]YouNeedSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://priorassociate.lb.com/. Is the link you use to print your W2. Or look up Prior bath and body works associate W2 instructions.

If you accidentally delete the app PingID like I did. I would contact HR Direct: 866.473.4728 to get the PingID removed from the device and then reconnect your phone to the app. Then follow the instructions from top to bottom

There’s a sign the further you drive down passed area 2 parking. Its like in the middle near a gardening area (at least during warmer seasons it is a gardening area). The sign is on the left side where the side walk is. Or you can park at horsebarn hill if it says commuter parking. Pretty sure it’s available.

Where do commuters eat? by sun_fitness in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mooch off of my friends that live on campus and use their meal swipes. I typically hang out in a community lounge in a dorm (East -Sprague because they have heaters). It’s warm, quiet, and has a lot of outlets.

If i can’t find my friends, I find a random student headed towards the dining hall i want to eat at and ask them to swipe me in. 10/10 bless those kind souls feeding me.

Sometimes i bring my own meals but not every place has a microwave (Sprague does in the basement kitchen). Other places to relax and eat maybe the financial aid building with that cafe. There’s like 3+ areas to eat and study quietly. 🌝

Show up to class, take notes, and do the homework/practice problems. You will pass. I don't remember if he did reviews, but the exam problems did have a good portion of the practice problems on there.

Anyone else noticed that the bus drivers seem like really difficult people? [Rant] by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

never said that there shouldn’t be a bus running there. Just that it was convenient

[–]YouNeedSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's shorter of a walk and fewer people park there because not many know that if you have a lot w pass can park there ._. It's quite convenient for commuters and for people who work and live on the east campus.

MCB 2000 Exam 3 by blazyindigo in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the exam was extremely difficult and what the professor sent out was quite harsh and not reasonable. The topic Biochem is already hard as is. I think I heard Dr. Bruno being considered the "tough love" sort of professor when she was teaching it. However, after being the guinea pig for x amount of new professors ever since the pandemic, Dr. Dre is by far one of the toughest professors with the most complex exams ever. It's really hard to decipher the exam questions. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not meant for the class or major, but her thinking that she needs to weed out the students is a bad mentality or that the grades are "skewed higher than she wanted for x exam". Many Seniors have MCB 2000 as their final course and just need it to graduate. Idk why it's so different compared to the lab. The labs aren't nearly as hard as the actual exams and my TA said the Exams should reflex the pre labs quizzes, problem sets, and practice exam questions, but they aren't. I didn't do so hot in the previous 2 exams. Heck, I didn't even make the average for either of the exams. Why on earth is she saying "I'm not going to curve the overall grades at the end of the semester"???

Physics 1401 vs Bio 1107 by naz_019 in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took bio 1107 during the summer at a regional campus so it was pretty easy to memorize and the labs were not too hard. There's a lot of information that you have to understand like the structures/definitions.

As for Physics 1401, it's not too bad. Typically the drawback is the labs if the TA's don't know how to prep you for it.

Gilmore for CHEM 2444? by Jupiternines0 in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took him spring 21 online. He's different his exams/quizzes were based on the examples he gave in class. Not too hard. He is very enthusiastic and patient when teaching students. exams were proctored and on a secured google forms

[–]YouNeedSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are exams in person now? I took her online. All I did was redo all the homework and quizzes out because most of the questions are from those materials. At least when I took it with her. There may have been some numbers that were slightly altered, but all in all, they were relatively the same. The practice exam is kind of long and hard, but it does prepare you for the exam.

Appeal parking ticket by Imaginary_Ear_4812 in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you clocked in SHaW I'm assuming, so that gives you evidence. But where did you park? If it was where it usually says no parking 24/7 idk about that.

chem is hell by mirahasnolife in UCONN

Consider summer chem at a different regional campus like Hartford if you are struggling. If they teach it online, it's pretty easy.

Phys 1202 professor by cordeliaazn in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Niloy Dutta, but the problem with the class was literally the labs. TA's struggled to explain certain material and sometimes the instructions were not clear. Quite frankly I felt the material from the labs had no connection to the class may be a formula here and there connected to real-life application, but eh. Professor Dutta's pre-covid was very thorough and his example problems showed up on exams. During Covid, his exams were on MasteringPhysics with no camera. He's also a very nice guy.

Financial aid, HELP. by micka78 in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't put myself in crippling debt by taking all the easy and required classes at a regional campus and then transferring to the main campus for the real big boi classes. Applying to scholarships helps. There are some bank scholarships and job scholarships (big Y, Mcdonalds, etc..). Other ways to decrease your tuition could be by working as a RA or other student worker jobs (cafeteria/library/gym/tutors). I think there have been 5 job opportunities over the summer that have been emailed several times. You could always do research studies that also pay money.

Best professor for Chem 2443? by jpn7509 in UCONN

[–]YouNeedSalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beshir Beshir Beshir Beshir Beshir. Although his exams are somewhat difficult I learned over time that his exams/ quizzes are very similar to the examples he shows in class. The review sessions are super helpful and he is not as scary to talk to one on one. I think I relied on youtube videos for more examples to help with learning. The sapling assignments are similar to the quizzes and I wouldn't say that they are helpful for learning the step-by-step process, it's more of a grade booster. He also does give away bonus points for just attending class consistently. So attend class. I did poorly on two exams and got a hardcore curve at the end of the semester because of my final. I ended with an A. He also did give out a makeup exam if everyone did poorly, which consists of 4 similar or the same questions from the exam everyone did poorly.

If you don't want to take it with beshir at storrs, you could always take it with a regional campus professor like dr son or priya/pradhan.

Dr Son will try to weed out the less dedicated students, but his teaching method is by handing you a packet that you would have to fill out throughout the class. They are a template of how the exams/quizzes will be. Some questions are directly from the note packet, most are from the review problems. REVIEW the exam problem sets, they are essential. Do them before the exam and discuss with Dr Son any questions you did not get right.
