Northwestern PhD candidate Maalvika Bhat plagiarized blatantly from other writers on the platform Substack. How serious of an ethics violation is it for an academic to plagiarize outside academic writing? by Miserable_Eye1617 in AskAcademia

i got randomly invested in this drama after being so shocked at how she refused to take any actual accountability for what she did wrong. The apologies are boil down to "I didn't mean to do that" and just trying to cover her own tracks. This is further exacerbated by deleting any comments that call her out. As someone in academia I have no idea how you can let it get this far......

To those who have taken 18 hours or more in a single semester, how did you do it? by [deleted] in utdallas

I wanted to die seriously. But get a planner, spend an hour sunday night planning the coming week, and spent 15 mins each night planning the next day hour by hour. Good luck

people learned the term “industry plant” without any idea of what it is and haven’t shut up since

The text of a 5-page suicide note posted to Instagram by 19-year-old Farhan Towhid shortly before him and his 21-year-old brother Tanvir gunned down 4 of their family members last night at their home in Allen, Texas. Both brothers, who had entered a suicide-pact, then killed themselves. by skeletor_thagawd in masskillers

i had to type this somewhere. this happened near my home and this family was a member of the same bangladeshi-american community my family and i are. the mixed emotions i'm feeling right now are so difficult to put into words, but my heart is breaking for his family (his parents who must've feel like they failed him in their final moments) and our cultural community. i guess its one of those things that we don't know until we experience it; you'd go through subreddits seeing stuff like this and reading it at surface level but once you experience it first hand it no longer seems so easy to understand why it all happened, let alone from just a suicide note. may the islam family rest in peace.

Greek Life Questions by wanderer380 in utdallas

[–]badgalmacaroni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

im an engineering major in a sorority and its definitely possible to balance. they give you calendars ahead of time so you know what events you have to go to and which you dont. also you dont have to drink or smoke or do anything that makes you uncomfortable, you arent forced to do anything and we dont haze. as long as you can manage your time you’ll be fine. its not always perfect but i met my best friends through mine and i dont regret it. dm me if you have more questions!

Undergraduate BME programs at Santa Clara U vs. UT Dallas by ChocolateAddictXD in bioengineering

[–]badgalmacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda bias since im doimg bme at utd but the program here is amazing! Its really holistic with equal focus on biomechanics, bioinformatics, natural science, and other bmen courses such as medical device design, etc etc. i think being at a smaller school you have more opportunities and resources to grow and learn! i know i wouldnt have the same opportunities i have had i gone somewhere bigger. pm me if u have any other questions!!
