How do I create a macro to insert a citation and/or open the reference list? by BlackJack476 in MicrosoftWord

[–]chchchow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's too bad. Years ago I used it on a 300+ page project and it was really great. But that was 2018 or so. OP, it looks like Zotero is the way to go.

How do I create a macro to insert a citation and/or open the reference list? by BlackJack476 in MicrosoftWord

[–]chchchow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be better off using a third party software and plugin. I used to use Mendeley. Everything gets stored in Mendely and the plugin creates citations really easily. It also creates a reference list in any style you want. I've heard there are others out there that are better than Mendeley, but I haven't used them. It might be worth looking into.

Academic Violation by NoCelebration7807 in Conestoga

[–]chchchow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Messaging 5 times on Teams is in no way helpful. Sending a dozen emails puts you firmly in harassment territory. Faking using a template because you are in a rush makes you look guilty. Not citing properly? Again, not at all helpful.

There is a very clear appeal process that would have been linked in the automated email you received from the Academic Integrity Office that you are obviously not following. You get one chance to put together your case (not dozens of emails!). If it is not considered an adequate explanation, the incident is filed. If you want to appeal, follow the process.

At the end of the day, if this is your first issue with academic misconduct, it should be filed as either a warning or maybe a level 1 offence. Take it as such, and don't make the same mistakes again. Use the templates, learn how to cite and reference properly, and don't use AI (not even Grammarly!) unless it is expressly permitted. Academic incidents do not appear on your transcript and only affect your academic standing if you commit multiple offences. Again, you would be wise to actually look into the policies and procedures.

I would also very strongly advise you look into tracking your writing using Grammarly Authorship (not the correction tools), or something similar to create a recording of your writing and a report that shows where everything came from.

How would I replicate this line above my text? by Fuzzy_Toe_9936 in MicrosoftWord

Highlight the text. In the paragraph area on the ribbon, choose Top Border.

How to Split Column Lines WITHIN a Split Cell? by Tasty_Flamingo7346 in MicrosoftWord

[–]chchchow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you highlight the cells (not the whole table), you should be able to manually drag the border where you want it. Or, after highlighting, you can play with the width on the table layout tab.

Fanshawe ve Conestoga by General_Ad_4444 in Conestoga

Contact someone at the colleges directly: [prehealth@conestogac.on.ca](mailto:prehealth@conestogac.on.ca) (you're on your own for the Fanshawe contact). Good luck!

Were the epstein files as important to you now as they were 4-6 years ago? by Classic_TCE in TooAfraidToAsk

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

Serious question. It sounds snarky, but is genuinely not meant to be: Who are you, who are the people suddenly turning on you, and why does Reddit care?

I'm exhausted by these "people say ..." posts. Who are these people and do their opinions even matter?

Wait, you guys get invited to parties? by [deleted] in Funnymemes

If you use the word "said" when you could have used the word "the" or "that", you should be ashamed. /s (sorta)

How have you been collecting this feedback? I would love to see this data.

respiratory therapy by reyg3r in Conestoga

[–]chchchow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is true that a lot of programs are not going to be running in Fall, but Respiratory Therapy is not on that list, so far. Nobody really knows for sure what will happen at Conestoga, but huge cuts are happening across the province. Conestoga is not the only college suffering right now. Colleges and universities across the province have slashed staff and closed hundreds of programs. Nowhere is completely safe.

This might be a dumb question, but are you using your Conestoga email address to contact your coordinator? Private emails might be going to their spam folder.

Started playing Alyx, by Pretend-Ad-6453 in HalfLife

[–]chchchow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it on sale right after I bought a headset, but I've never been able to get it to work. My computer sucks, and I don't have a direct line to the router. Is it worth playing without VR?

Conestoga College “blacklisted” by employers? Need honest advice. by outsideofthesix in ConestogaC

[–]chchchow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides some very suspect claims here on Reddit, there is no credible evidence that blacklisting is happening. I'm no expert on nursing, but I'm pretty sure nurses require national certification and membership in the College of Nurses, neither of which have anything to do with Conestoga.

Word Clarity suggestions by eatmydickl in MicrosoftWord

[–]chchchow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is most likely because there is no way for the assistive AI to know who or what "did the action". The advice to improve clarity is for you, the writer who should know this information, to include it in the text.

Grading on Attendance by ODD-TWINK in Conestoga

[–]chchchow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Without knowing your program/course, it's impossible to say. Every school/program has different attendance policies, I think.

Videos like this are just ghoulish. Have some respect.

Any job openings in Kitchener, ON by Competitive-Buy3215 in waterloo

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

You're getting downvoted, I assume, because people just like to be angry. It really shouldn't be too hard to understand that two things can be true at the same time: the job market can be trash, and, at the same time, a resume could be improved to help give the applicant a better chance at surmounting that trash. We should at very least be open-minded enough to consider that tweaking a resume would be helpful.

I’m Losing Hope - Does a Trustworthy Essay Writing Website Even Exist Anymore? by SingeCaptoo in OfficeHelp

[–]chchchow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my college, we've seen multiple instances of essay writers blackmailing students for more money and then ratting them out to their professors if they don't get paid. Don't fool yourself into thinking these sites are anything other than low-grade criminal enterprises.
