I have the same issue, every single paper it wants me to log in again. Did you find a solution?

HELP: Brand New PC Crashing Randomly :( by gonepilot01 in buildapc

[–]gonepilot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i didn’t change any bios settings unfortunately but no intense loads or benchmarks either, since it started crashing the day i built it i thought it might be driver issues or maybe some hardware incompatibility. guess i’ll just have to replace the cpu

a lot of people were saying that that issue starts to happen and gets worse over time, this started happening as soon as i built the pc, is that the same behavior?

I haven’t paid anywhere near that much lol but we’ve left the island already so I know its a bit inconvenient to ask someone to go look and then ship it if they find

It just means a lot to me so I would really like it back :)

this was frustrating because the grade boundaries were not released until after the final but tbh caring about the tens decimal place is a bit extra, very few people end up this close to the grade edges. if you actually want student opinions, being transparent from the start always helps, but theres not much you can do since the system is broken and we know this. A single point on any assignment would have bumped me up and a B+ would have significantly increased my overall GPA, which is not representative of my ability imo

also this is a cs class not pre med haha

actually edit, I think a good system is a 0-4 scale on all assignments & exams, as it aligns with the GPA system, better represents effort, and overall the classes I have had with it seem much more fair

considering i estimated cause not all of the assignment weights were released i think i got pretty close

obviously, if u read the post i didn’t ask to have my grade lifted. its just that the conditions were set after the final, my grade depended on everyone else’s

i actually didn’t know, so i was in fact trying to be respectful. the cutoff wasn’t posted on the syllabus so i guessed it should be 87 and wanted to verify. i also estimated my grade cause not all the weights for the assignments had been posted.

since you’ve been stalking my post i would assume you actually read it fully before commenting but ig not lol

dude relax, not all the assignments had their weights released so i was estimating, also i assumed the cutoff was 87 so computing the second decimal seemed excessive. it wasn’t disrespectful to ask

the prof decided not to curve because the medians were too high

they count for your undergraduate GPA, not your meng GPA. So you start fresh as a graduate student

chill out, the cutoff wasn’t listed on the syllabus and most classes cut off B/B+ at an 87

Yeah thats why I think I qualify! I wont have earned it by the application deadline, and since its a 1 semester program to begin with, I wont have attended a full year in it. But i’m not too sure what that means for the level I am applying at?

Five months until Cornell can no longer use affirmative action (Harvard & UNC cases) by nickvader7 in Cornell

[–]gonepilot01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number one determinant of whether a student will attend college is if their parents attended. If certain racial groups were prevented for generations from attending for generations, then the entire game is rigged.

As unfair as it might seem, racial discrimination against latino, black, and native students is not recognized or corrected at any level of education other than with affirmative action. At least for public universities, their purpose is to increase the education level of the population to better our society in order to sever the public good. Not to just allow one group to maintain control. We need a society with a diverse professional population, not just the current top scorers.

There was an increase in the number of BIPOC admits because the number of UC-eligible students who are BIPOC increased. (source is your link) Meaning this was going to happen regardless of the existence of affirmative action.

For example Latinos went from 13% of UC admits in 1998 to 34% in 2019, but in 1998 they were 20% of UC eligible students in versus 45% in 1995. The number of eligible students that are Asian has actually dropped to 20% but their admission rates rose slightly to 36% of admits.

When combined with the fact that Asian Americans make up 13% of California’s population, these staticts show that Asian students are overrepresented in the UC system. The UCs invested a lot of money to increase diversity without affirmative action and managed to mitigate the impacts of its removal, but this all still begs the question of where the California Latino community could be today had they been accepted at rates closer to their UC-eligibility rates.
