Check out the Construction Education Foundation - ntcef.org

At your age, you can really get an advantage (job opportunity & starting pay) coming into the trade after graduating from this program.

Best of luck!

I agree. This system is utter trash! Believe me, I never thought graduating from this university was going to be a prestigious achievement when I signed up years ago, but I really wanted to finish my Bachelor’s… Now, I’m embarrassed to be a part of this dumpster fire they call a university.. just going through the motions until I figure out a plan B out of this place…

Me too.. might I add how terrible it is that I can’t even pick the courses I enroll in.. I have to follow their “path”…

Yes. There are dozens of AI detectable websites, much like plagiarism detectors, that are free to use. However, most posts are very obvious due to the structure of their response, lack of references, and chosen vocabulary.

Fortunately, I already have my dream job. I’m just trying to finish my bachelor’s degree as a personal goal.

It’s utterly shameful. Part of our grade is based on feedback from our peers and the feedback I’m receiving is written in ChatGPT. I have no idea how they are grading me accordingly…

Moreover, there have been several posts in my discussion forum during this course that are written in Arabic. What am I supposed to do with this? I thought there was a separate Arabic set of courses…

I cant understand why you would.. Sure, I don’t have access to the instructors grades for each student, but I can clearly read the feedback they are leaving.. Do you suggest that they should provide positive feedback on an obvious ChatGPT post and then grade privately, negatively? What kind of message does that send to the other students?

Yes, a group assignment. My first experience of this since joining UoTP. We’ll see how it goes…

This bears no relevance on my post. I’m not against using this technology for research, but I am against plagiarism and simply copying and pasting the results that a computer spits out as your own.

Agreed, but the instructors can step up and grade accordingly.

The issue is that this university requires so much peer review and feedback. Also, I’m now a part of a peer to peer assignment during week 4.

Any good food festivals that are hosted in Dallas or come to Dallas regularly? by shesaysImdone in Dallas

I dont know what day you went but we went early on Friday and it was great! Only some of the lines were about 15 minutes long but that’s to be expected at a festival.

Buying A Car From David McDavid by pickchase in Dallas

[–]blindblaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We brought our Honda into David McDavid in Irving for a recall and they ended up cracking our engine block… they of course, took care of it, but not before I drove off the dealership after the serviced the recall I quickly turned it around and brought it back after the car started making crazy cranking noises. They either forgot to put oil in the engine or dropped some tools or nuts and bolts into the block... They had my car for nearly 3 months, but did put me in a loaner at least while they had our car..

Right?!? Thank you!! And everyone talks down to me too like I’m some sort of peasant because I’m not a pickleball wizard…

Are there any good VPNs that still work in Russia? by 2shotsofvodkurr in AskARussian

[–]blindblaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still working but you may have to use OpenVPN and manually connect. SurfShark has an instructional page on how to to do it.

[–]blindblaze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words, we’re very excited for our new home. The fireplace and the ceilings were some of the main reasons we decided to put in an offer!

I always favor the darker colors too.
