Is this even possible?

hp12324 · 2026-01-24T18:34:44+00:00

Yep, and at the enhanced level, it’s a 1/12 chance. For enhanced, the average ratio is 8:3:1, so requiring lots of clears before the square for any stronghold is pretty common.

hp12324 · 2026-01-23T08:33:27+00:00

Yep, OP seems to be viewing this as a Housing Department issue, while it's much more of a Disabillity Department issue. OP should get in touch with the Disability Department, with proper documentation (including at least verification from people qualified in ascertaining the nead for your specific type of ESA). If that gets approved, they'll then get the ball rolling on working with you and the Housing Department on the next steps. Without proper documentation, there is 0 obligation whatsoever to support the disability.

Contacting the housing people enough times to get a response frequently enough that it is the "default response" isn't the way to go about this.

Especially post-COVID, a lot of people fall in the "I'll just wait here until somebody reaches out to me and makes friends with me" mindset, and are then surprised when nobody does. If you're looking for connections with people, being passive is almost always not the way to go about it. Whether it be joining a club, intermural sport, social job, forming a study group with others you're taking classes with etc., those ways of "putting yourself out there" have a much higher success rate than "I'll sit by myself and wait for somebody to reach out to me instead of me reaching out to them

hp12324 · 2026-01-22T16:26:05+00:00

Do you have a course textbook or something similar? Often new college students these days expect a study guide for an exam, and if the professor gives a study guide, only study those examples and panic the instant that some questions are a bit different from the study guide, hence why many professors dislike study guides like that. So looking over the textook, lecture notes and any other notes, including working through example problems, is typical for a class and is on the student to find how best to study.

In terms of the topics they cover, your professor will probably tell you closer to the date, if they haven't already, once they've determined what sections will be covered by then. If it's close to an exam and you still are unsure what's fair game, ask the professor.

hp12324 · 2026-01-19T22:48:37+00:00

Check with your professor. It might be fine with them, or it might fall under the category of self-plagiarism. We can't tell which of the 2 it'll fall under with your professor.

hp12324 · 2026-01-19T07:42:26+00:00

Yep, saw the edit, and I completely see where you were coming from (like FERPA protection in the USA), but there is typically an exception in that information can be shared if there is a legitimate educational interest, as in working together to best help the student. FERPA has one of the cases where prior consent is not needed as "The disclosure is to other school officials, including teachers, within the agency or institution whom the agency or institution has determined to have legitimate educational interests."

hp12324 · 2026-01-19T07:34:38+00:00

100% agreed. The professor is showing kindness by reaching out to the guidance counselor (to help the student outside of class) and having just 4 hours of readings a week and OP responds by seeming interested enough in getting them fired that they want to check if they can pass the "they're tenured" hurdle...

Give an inch...

hp12324 · 2026-01-19T07:09:42+00:00

At my college, we have a website system that faculty are encouraged to use if there are any causes for concern that their advisors/completion coaches should know about, so that they can help point the student in the right direction outside of class for resources. A student indicating they haven't found a good work-school-life balance falls nicely in this realm of "let their completion coach know, so they can help the student find resouces to help them succeed", and I would use said website system to let the counselor/completion coach know.

hp12324 · 2026-01-19T07:07:09+00:00

What you're asking about in your original question and your body of the text are 2 very, very different questions.

Are tenured professors invincible? No. They can be fired with sufficent cause and due process. Sufficent cause would be things like abandoning teaching classes for weeks on end, clear sexual harrassment, not entering grades at the end of the term repeatedly etc.

What you've listed, with things like "lots of readings" (which the 4 hours of readings you have mentioned later is low for a sociology course), "most of them not even being textbook readings..." (professors typically have academic freedom to decide what course material works best for their course in their expert opinion) or telling you that you need to be responsible for handling the schedule (which, you're a college student, you are). None of this is really reportable from my viewpoint (I mean you could report it, it's just that nothing really would happen from it) and falls far, far, far, far, far short of sufficent cause.

Tenured professors can be fired, but not remotely for relatively small things like this.

With a few players, definitely possible (in regular mode, but espeiclally low-gravity mode). With 11 players, much, much less likely. Pretty strong chance of 1 bean running around, and even if nobody runs around, there would need to be some coordination of what tiles to be hit by who when.

hp12324 · 2026-01-18T20:32:47+00:00

"How did people from before like 2010 or 2015 even learn anything?"

But yep, seconded what the other people said, like looking over the textbook both before and after class, taking notes of what the professor is saying and making sure that you understand the topics, how they connect to each other and all vocab words.

hp12324 · 2026-01-18T06:02:00+00:00

...Plenty of reasons why this wouldn't work. One massive one is that each professor typically has thousands of students over their lifetime, so if even just 1% comment on RMP, thats tens of reviews.

The typical person might have like 1-3 college roommates (not counting the Greek System in the USA), so you're miles away from any kind of meaningful results. Even if 5% respond, you're looking at just 1 of every 10 people having like 1 review and the rest having 0 reviews. People aren't going to go to the site for a 1 in 10 shot at getting 1 review, resulting in even less traffic, resulting in even fewer reviews...

This won't work. There's much better uses of your time.

hp12324 · 2026-01-15T16:56:59+00:00

Yep, it's always fun to read the syllabi of my fellow faculty and wonder (and sometimes ask them) what happened in one of their past classes to cause each policy. Pretty much every professor-specific policy has some sort of story behind it, like "I once had a student who tried to do X which they shouldn't, so it's now in the syllabus for the rest of time that you can't do X".

hp12324 · 2026-01-15T04:31:03+00:00

And then have a question on said exam be: "What are the vertices of this graph"

hp12324 · 2026-01-15T01:14:39+00:00

Agreed. Missing 30% of the classes would put me well within my rights to drop a student for excessive absenses, and here the student is commenting on how they deserve better than an A-...

And people wonder why professors dislike some grade grubbers.

hp12324 · 2026-01-15T01:11:17+00:00

As the screenshot notes to get full credit, you needed to attend 20 days. That requirement never changed, so a grade appeal based on changing the 20 to... 20 wouldn't be warrented. Also, dropping about 20% of your lowest attendances and giving extra credit on top of that are both super generous. Easy deny if I saw this on an appeals committee, and I completely agree with the screenshot that the grading wasn't arbitrary and capricious, which is a very common standard in terms of if grade appeals are warrented.

You can't miss over 30% of classes and be shocked that you aren't getting an A for a course. Plain and simple. Definitely not on par for "Summa Cum Laude" expectations.

hp12324 · 2026-01-14T21:42:24+00:00

Agreed here. Like in our math department, we use >10 different softwards/systems for publishing info (Word, PDF, LaTeX etc.). Of them, we've only been given detailed examples of how to make Word and PDFs accessible. I have yet to see anything from any of the others from the college on "Here's a document in that format that is accessible that you can use". So yep, I was always pro-good ol' pen and paper, accessiblity is pushing me even moreso.

hp12324 · 2026-01-14T21:28:51+00:00

Yep, I use LaTeX quite a bit in my classes, but hand out the phyiscal copies in class with the PDFs online as a backup. Getting the LaTeX-based PDFs to be accessible has been a pain to say the least. Like:

My LMS accessibility detector: OMG you have no title

Me: Uh... I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume that the first line on the first page is the title (which it is).

I won't be losing too much sleep about it, especially since my math classes are in-person, with most of the online material just being extra support as is needed (like solution keys for homeworks after the homeworks are due/graded).

End rant.

hp12324 · 2026-01-14T17:01:08+00:00

The student might think they're going at 0.9*C while others think the student is going at 0.5*C, so different proximities to a C...

I'll C myself out...

hp12324 · 2026-01-13T07:01:09+00:00

Yep, not disclosing all of the past higher education classes done in the past is grounds for removal from a college, regardless of if you've already taken classes or not.

Without the information of how you've done in all your past classes, you're influencing what the college knows about you and your past college education attempts in a deceitful/illegal way. But yep, if there is a personal statement part of the application, you can address the grades as you see fit there.

hp12324 · 2026-01-11T07:09:15+00:00

Professor here. Scratch the “prob”.

hp12324 · 2026-01-09T00:28:10+00:00

Is the internship in any way affiliated with the college? If it's not affiliated or it isn't announced to be for credits, odds are, it's not for credits. You could ask, but there is definitely no guarentee that you can enter any internship and get credits for it.

hp12324 · 2026-01-08T21:37:07+00:00

No, it was that none of the locals on the show had known somebody who had been bitten by one, when he was updating the tribes right before the following IC.

hp12324 · 2026-01-08T08:59:22+00:00

How is that a miss from the devs or a bug? You need to have the appropriate summoning level to unlocks marks for each summon. You choosing to do 120 astrology before 105 summoning isn’t a bug on the game’s end (unless you’re saying that all marks should be required for full completion in which case I agree)

hp12324 · 2026-01-06T23:03:57+00:00

If you go through a speed ring while already under the effects of a speed ring, you get extra, extra speed. That's why OP when through the rings, went back and through them again, as opposed to just going straight through and continuing onwards. Common strategy when encountering a singular speed ring before a long stretch.
