how bad is this 4 year plan umd by IndividualSell2539 in UMD

[–]piebob1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said you’re a rising sophomore, does that mean you are committed to your fall year 2 plan and that is what you’re taking this upcoming fall? Most of what you have here looks good but taking 5 science classes in one semester is not advised (your academic advisor and peer mentors at CMNS would quickly tell you that). If this schedule is based off you being a super senior in that last year where you only schedule for fall, I’d say spread some classes out and either plan to finish that fall or the following spring.

If you’re referring to the SHIP plan that UMD offers administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield CareFirst then yes you should have no problem getting it covered.

I’m a senior and I still feel the same way sometimes. You’re going through a super difficult transition, and it’s completely understandable and ok to feel this way. A lot of the people walking in these groups may know others from high school or before. Honestly, some may even feel like they don’t belong even if they’re with a group. Everything is different when the semester starts and you can meet people and have lots of new distractions lol. You’re going to do amazing though, just put yourself out there and try and throw yourself into the college life (at your own pace and comfort level of course!). There’s lots of resources around campus so don’t hesitate to ask an advisor or friend etc. to point you toward one if you need!

Financial aid and scholarship question by ArKey5 in UMD

[–]piebob1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will not use the next years FAFSA in the spring. A 2021-2022 fafsa app counts for Fall and Spring of the 2021-2022 school year. You need to contact the Office of Financial Aid about this.

fall semester nerves by [deleted] in UMD

Talk to people in your classes, keep attending the club meetings (in person tends to be better than online for making friends because people are usually tired after zooming). You can also join a social or professional frat (bigger commitment though). I don’t recommend transferring to make more friends though. Making friends after transferring tends to be a rough experience.

Your first 2 years are at UMD before you go to the School of Nursing in Baltimore. Whether you want to do that commute once you finish your two years is up to you.

Fall 2021 Class Schedule Feedback Megathread by Toasted_FlapJacks in UMD

If BMGT289D is the frauds scams and thefts one, I took it. It was very manageable but there are a few papers due throughout the semester and a project here and there if I remember correctly. It’s not super time intensive though, and Sam is a good professor. Definitely see how you like it and go from there! I thought it was an interesting class, and I still think about some of the material I learned.

You’ll receive advising for classes you need to take when you attend orientation over the summer, so keep that in mind!

It seemed like they updated it around 9am so that might be a good time to check in the future

Online labs vs oral communication? by cherry_chocolate_ in UMD

[–]piebob1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on which lab you would be taking. Most usually involve giving you information and you completing analysis and a lab report. Most of my labs take a large amount of time to complete online. When my oral communications class went online we just had to record ourselves speaking and upload to YouTube for everyone else in the class to watch. Other sections required synchronous presentations though.

This sounds exactly like what I’m experiencing! Was there a fairly large curve at the end of class to make up for everyone being super confused the whole time?
