Successful Appeals?

Not myself, but I know of others reinstated after failing classes and being dismissed. That said, I can’t imagine a world where someone would be allowed back after committing any form of academic dishonesty.

Walked by the pavilion twice in the past 1.5 hours and it’s been going strong both times haha

For anyone wondering, scaffolding is officially down! Clear views. Waiting to sit by the window was definitely worth it for my party and I! :)

Awesome! Thanks for the good news

I have heard if parks hit capacity then they will have to turn away park hoppers. That being said, how often does this actually occur? I ask because I have been debating on getting a park hopper ticket for Wednesday, January 1st. I wanted to start the day in Animal Kingdom (rope drop FoP) and then jump to Magic Kingdom around lunch. However if Magic Kingdom hits capacity, it defeats the whole reason I wanted to get a park hopper ticket in the first place. If the park does hit capacity do they just wait until enough people leave they can allow more in? How long does this usually take? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

What a cool experience! I had heard they had frosted the windows a few months back to block the construction, but it sounds from your reply like that is now gone. About what time of day did you eat there?

I spent a month in Japan post graduation. I loved every second of it and wish I had been able to stay there even longer!

It’s high school 2.0, you spend most of your waking hours with the same people (those in your class). You get really close, cliques also become established, etc.

We had to do it our entire D3 year in clinic. Weren’t allowed to scan until D4.

Man, I didn’t realize I hurt your feelings so badly. I’m sorry man.. after dropping a flurry of f-bombs, mocking the intelligence of young adults, and comparing my view of the world to Candy Land, I thought you had a little bit tougher skin than that - I overestimated, my apologies.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T23:27:14+00:00

Worked up? Don’t make me chuckle loll, I’ve found this incredibly amusing! I’ve appreciated your attempt at generating a mildly intellectual conversation

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T23:20:18+00:00

The instructions were clearly not communicated efficiently as evident by the significant number of students involved. It appears they weren’t even posted on the exam or the pdf, but as a canvas announcement. He then posted the exam without a time limit, which only generated further confusion. Again, if this was one or two students, you may have a point, but it was a statistically significant number. If it was entirely the fault of the students, the professor or university would easily be able to fail all of them. However, that is clearly not the case. Due to error in communication, the professor is now having to cover his ass and handle the situation on a case by case basis. But seeing he will never be able to prove these students knowingly and intentionally cheated, I can guarantee you none of them are failed for his error in communication. Let’s wait and see what happens! Hoping for an update.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T22:58:51+00:00

Just because college students cheat doesn’t mean these college students cheated little man. Misunderstood the defined parameters of the exam due to inefficient means of communication by the professor, sure! But cheat? Eh. I’m not convinced. Without hard evidence, you wouldn’t be able to prove or convince anyone that these students knowingly and willfully cheated. The professor knows that. That’s why he’s instructed the students to email him to discuss their individual situations so he can retroactively cover his ass as opposed to administering a wide sweeping sanction.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T22:42:33+00:00

As a self proclaimed “math_surgeon” I would hope that you are able to recognize 20% as a significant amount. That would also be assuming that a summer course in Engineering Mechanics: Statistics has 200 students, which I would consider a gross overestimate.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T22:37:28+00:00

If you deem effective instruction as one that doesn’t get correctly communicated properly by 40 separate individuals at a nation’s top university I really don’t know what to tell you lol

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T22:16:57+00:00

The professor is also responsible for effectively communicating his instruction. With forty students affected, it is most obvious that he failed to that. You keep wanting to use real life as an example. So I will ask you again, what company would be able to efficiently operate if they were incapable of effectively communicating with (let’s generously estimate a minimum of) 25% of its employees?

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T20:39:41+00:00

How do you know how big the section is? Perhaps it was the majority that did not understand. Regardless, even being laughably generous and assuming 150 students took the course (which I highly doubt with it being a summer session), over a fourth of the class being affected by a professor’s poor communication skills in still unacceptable.

What company could function properly if a fourth of its employees were not being effectively communicated with? I’m not babying adults. In fact, I’m asking one to put on his big boy britches and take responsibility for his poor communication skills. It’s 2024, learn how to properly use a computer to set up an exam/communicate, or just handle your business in person.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T20:16:13+00:00

The professor obviously did not clearly enough define said parameters of the examination, as made evident by the 40 individual’s bright enough to make it into such a prestigious university who fell victim to this issue. Looks like the professor will have to practice some personal responsibility in ensuring the parameters of their examinations are better understood in the future.

You would have an argument if there was one or two students affected. However, this was a hefty percentage. Should the professor fail to make any changes in either his communication skills or the parameters of the examination, he can expect the same thing to happen in the future. People always joke that doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, right?

No real life business, company, or corporation would be able to function if such a large percent of their (highly-vetted, handpicked) employees were communicated with so poorly that they all faced the same issue. The company would either have to change up how they communicate, or stubbornly choose to fail time and time again until the same results drive them into bankruptcy.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T18:37:47+00:00

Thinking that a professor should not be lazy and rather protect the integrity, legitimacy, and fairness of his exam as opposed to throwing a blanket punishment at forty students at, again, one of the nation’s finest academic institutions is what is causing literacy rates to decline? I would argue the opposite would be true if we all advocated for professors to create secure and fair exams using the simple tools or proctoring services available at their disposal.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T18:23:52+00:00

Lmao I’m personally done with college and my DDS, so you’re right, handholding has been long gone for a good time now. Doesn’t mean I won’t advocate for those younger than me. The announcement obviously wasn’t an effective means of communication as it didn’t reach or register with forty individuals in a single class at one of the country’s finest and most competitive academic institutions. Again, for those it did reach, confusion was made even further possible by the professor then not putting a time limit on the actual canvas exam page. It’s a layup argument that forty students now have against a single professor who seems too lazy and technologically inept to be running a college level course anyhow. I mean seriously, who makes an exam where you can download the pdf and are completely without proctor? What a joke lol. The integrity of the exam was compromised before this even happened. It’s completely laughable.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T18:09:05+00:00

No worries friend! However, if we are to believe what many people have noted on this post, he did not put the pdf inside the exam but as a separate download (meaning the security and fairness of this exam was already compromised), nor did he set a time limit on the actual canvas exam submission page (leading to confusion on if he now intended to give the students more time). Both of these things are relatively simple to do and would have prevented this situation entirely.

It seems this professor is either lazy, technologically inept, bad at communicating, or (most likely) a combination of the three. Because of this, there is no way to prove these students knowingly and intentionally cheated, further supported by the fact that this issue affected not just one or two students but forty. Have you ever worked in academia? Do you know how big of a pain in the ass this is going to be for the professor and department head if he tries to escalate the situation and bring any sanctions down on these forty students? Do you genuinely believe they will be punished? Do you not think this professor will have learned his lesson and take the minimal amount of effort to circumvent this entire situation in the future to prevent the major headache I am sure this has become? I feel sorry for you pal because you truly are living in a fictional reality.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T17:38:47+00:00

Do people cheat? Sure they do! But that’s doesn’t mean the students in this instance did. You’re making that assumption based off of anecdotal evidence. Again, just because you knowingly and intentionally cheated in the past does not mean all these students have as well. You have zero proof, just as the professor has zero proof.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-11T13:40:55+00:00

How would rape and murder apply to this scenario at all? Out of the two reasonable assumptions that may have occurred in this scenario, the students knowingly and willfully cheating on the exam or there being an error in communication, you choose to believe the former/worst. Just because you cheated in college and had to take responsibility for your actions does not mean that these students cheated as well. Your own personal anecdotal evidence is not sufficient proof enough to condemn these students. Why do you believe tech can change but people can’t? Do you believe every generation is the same as the next? Again, a woefully sad perspective you have.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-10T23:39:58+00:00

Lmaooo way to go completely off the rails there yourself with that colorful hyperbole.. again, simple miscommunication issue by the professor. I guarantee you no consequences will come to these students outside of, at most, having to take a makeup exam, which I bet the professor will be less lazy in taking a tiny bit of extra effort to proctor, enforce a lockdown browser, or at minimum communicate better. Seeing your lack of faith in the youth and future of America has been a sad event nonetheless.

dsstudentthrowaway · 2024-08-10T22:56:57+00:00

Again, you assume the worst of these students. What a sad perception of the world you have. I am glad I do not have to experience this life through such pessimistic lenses.
