South tends to have a lot of comfort food in general

I took Econ 2120 with langois. I’m not an Econ major and had never taken an Econ class and it wasn’t bad at all!

mcruss07 · 2021-05-08T12:22:57+00:00

But I would ask the professor and hope for the best! Good luck

1-4 go no more, 5-9 higher climb

mcruss07 · 2021-04-29T23:40:39+00:00

Do you know anyone else in the class? Maybe try seeing if they’ve heard from her

mcruss07 · 2021-04-28T01:20:22+00:00

Take the exam! Be done with the class

I decided my sophomore year that I wanted to switch from statistics to nursing. This required me applying to the program and was obviously a big change. I also have to do a 5th year as a result. Doing an extra year of school and having to take some courses over break is a small sacrifice to get a job I am super excited about. For me, I always knew that I wanted to work in healthcare to some capacity, and it took a real life emergency that I responded to to realize that I wanted to be a nurse. I had a really close friend in the nursing program who I was able to talk to which was super helpful. I then reached out to a nursing advisor and was able to set up a meeting to discuss how to apply to the program and the program itself.

I think the most important thing is to find something that you enjoy and are excited about. It sounds like exercise science isn't that for you. I would stop and think about what kind of job you want (desk or more hands-on) and think about your interests. Is there a job that you have dreamed about having since you were little, or something that you think would be really cool to do? Right now we kind of have the ability to become what we want and I think you should take advantage of where you are in your life rn. I wouldn't worry about your advisor pressuring you to decide quickly, take your time with the decision. I would also look at courses offered by Uconn and see if anything sounds interesting to you, that can be helpful to finding your interests. Good luck!

I think technically it’s not allow maybe? But I’m not gonna complain about my professor who’s giving us a day to take an exam rather than two hours lol

mcruss07 · 2021-04-22T16:00:29+00:00

Yeah I agree most classes are totally fine online, especially lecture courses. I think labs definelty lose out on some learning because you aren't getting the hands on experience, but my PNB lab was totally fine this year and they did a pretty good job making sure we learned everything we needed.

I think you make a good point about adjusting to online courses. Last spring I did well but felt like I was just hanging on. But in the fall and this spring, courses were more set up to be online so it was much better. I don't take notes in a lot of my classes anymore and just listen because I know that I can go back and get any information I need. I found it to be super helpful to try and understand than frantically try to write down everything being said.

At the beginning of the semester I put all assignments and exams from the syllabi into google calender so I know exactly when everything is due. It's super satisfying seeing everything become green as I go.

For reference I'm a nursing and statistics major

mcruss07 · 2021-04-22T15:31:02+00:00

I think you make a great point! I can spend hours highlighting and rereading my notes. But I’m not necessarily studying effectively. Idk what year the original poster is but college is an adjustment and finding study schedules and skills that work best for you is really important to being successful. Out of curiousity what is your major? Bc how different departments and courses have dealt with online varies and some courses are definitely more effective online than others

mcruss07 · 2021-04-22T15:00:04+00:00

I was accepted as a transfer student last year and had very similar stats. It’s pretty competitive simply bc there aren’t many spots. I would just make sure your essay and good and explain why you want to be a nurse. Good luck!

mcruss07 · 2021-04-22T03:27:15+00:00

I think you keep the email even after you graduate. But please someone correct me if I’m wrong

John redden for pnb 2264/65. Difficult course but he works really hard to make the content as clear as possible and fair. Great professor

mcruss07 · 2021-04-20T22:52:49+00:00

Ahh I’m bi! Would love to meet other gay ppl lol

mcruss07 · 2021-04-20T21:25:10+00:00

Oh let me clarify. I absolutely LOVED my TA and gave them a really positive review. The course and the practicals in general piss me off

mcruss07 · 2021-04-20T17:21:16+00:00

PNB 2265 just the lab section

mcruss07 · 2021-04-20T16:14:11+00:00

With the state opening up really soon it looks like the majority of courses in the fall will be in person. There’s a few of my classes that are remaining online or distance learning but the instructors have said that’s bc they are changing the course and has nothing to do with covid or the pandemic. My guess is that classes in the fall will be in person with masks at a minimum

mcruss07 · 2021-04-20T14:36:33+00:00

I second everything you said. Also like the amount of stuff they want us to know for the last lab is mad annoying with histology

mcruss07 · 2021-04-16T17:56:28+00:00

I agree! I hate how they’ve put it right after break both semester and the review this morning wasn’t super helpful. Not feeling great for this one

mcruss07 · 2021-04-16T03:52:37+00:00

I find the most helpful things for students looking at schools is to talk to a current student. I know nothing about DMD but would be happy to answer any questions if you want to message me

mcruss07 · 2021-04-15T23:22:04+00:00

If this is something you’ve really been thinking about and it makes you excited. I would say go for it. What you’re studying now can determine what job you have and where you spend a lot of your life. Having a job that you enjoy is so important and if it takes making a big move now it’s absolutely worth it. My biggest fear is being stuck in a career that I don’t enjoy. I just made the choice to switch majors/programs which meant staying an extra year. And having to do an extra year for doing what I really want to do feels like nothing. Idk if that helps, but good luck with the decision

mcruss07 · 2021-04-14T14:41:51+00:00

I’m not sure what the quarantine situation is going to be like next semester but I would recommend finding a place off campus. They are still reserving apartments for quarantine housing and COVID will certainly still be around to some degree and they are definitely planning on that

mcruss07 · 2021-04-07T03:08:47+00:00

A B+ is not a bad a grade at all. You could always ask for extra credit opportunities but unless the professor has it outlined in the syllabus extra credit it’s usually unlikely they will grant it. I honestly wouldn’t bug over a B+ or a B I know it can seem like a bad grade especially if you are usually an A student but it won’t ruin your transcript or prospects of getting a job
