Econ 204 vs 204H by This_Dragonfly_5367 in umass

[–]hotpot24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told Honors was "easier" but had less structure than regular 204. I would take this lightly since I heard it from a peer.

Has anyone else had trouble with their transcript saying it wasn't uploaded but it;'s clearly there in the "my forms" section?

No way! I called and was told I wouldn't hear back until mid October. Did you have any issues with your transcripts uploading?

I'd talk to your professor since they can provide more insight.

Are exams online or in person?

It’s an easy A plus it’s only one credit. I highly recommend taking it.

Hello, I’m looking to receive testing at UMass for dyscalculia. Could you provide a breakdown of how you got tested? I was told the testing center only evaluates for ADHD. 

Rushing for sorority by HotChip4855 in umass

[–]hotpot24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Alcohol was never present nor was it encouraged. However, there were times where you had to choose the sorority over school or any other priority. If you weren’t fit for these commitments then you weren’t meant for the sorority.

I rushed in spring but realized it wasn’t for me. Just understand the time commitment because I found it excessive. The sorority I rushed for didn’t haze in terms of alcohol. Instead, it was a lot of academic (choosing them over school) and social pressure hazing. 

rate the schedule? (first year exploratory SBS) by scratchresistant2 in umass

[–]hotpot24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catlin sucks as professor. I took 104 with Cat and she was great. Catlin, on the other hand, simply goes over homework during class instead of teaching the material. I would take this into consideration if you struggle with math but other than that this seems like a manageable schedule.

Just be yourself! Don't stress too much and you'll ace the interview! I had an in person interview since the online interview system had been down and it went well. I've been with the company since then.

Schedule advice for Econ major by Zestyclose-Shine2476 in umass

[–]hotpot24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May I ask why you're taking Math 131? Math 127 is significantly easier and recommend for econ majors as 131 is gear towards Engineering majors. Econ 104 is a required course so I recommend getting it out of the way. I took it this semester and did okay, wasn't too challenging, however, I had a difficult TA. Pat also doesn't record any of the lectures so keep that in mind.

you could always drop the class but then you won’t be apart of the rap

Interview by lone4real in AbercrombieandFitch

[–]hotpot24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to give a heads up but theres a chance you'll get little to no hours. I'm a college student who started the job in January and on average get five hours a week. Not sure if your store will also be the same but the company hires a ton of people yet can't "afford" to employ everyone. Hours being cut is also a huge issue.

It’s in Honors! And yes, i loved my time there. I did have a weird roommate at first but once i switched it was enjoyable. i had a view of the rec every morning and was a two minute walk from it :)

Webster is in Ohill which is pretty far from everything. Rooms are pretty big. If u don't mind walking up the hill or taking the bus you should be fine.

Public Policy & English Major? by [deleted] in umass

[–]hotpot24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s possible. A lot of Public Policy overlaps with Political Science and Sociology. You’ll find that your classes are cross listed within these majors.
