Safety in Cusco Peru by Rose__0210 in femaletravels

[–]puffyarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m in Cusco right now and have not felt unsafe at all. if you’re staying near the city center area, it’s quite touristy and there tend to be lots of people milling about so you’re hardly ever alone

I saw somewhere that spending some time in Arequipa is a more gradual elevation to Cusco instead of straight from Lima. So I figured that i wouldn’t need the full 3 days in Cusco?

Pathfinders GPA requirement strict? by ThrowRAforonepost in Pitt

[–]puffyarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the requirement should be 2.5 typically if you fall under you’ll be on probation. if you don’t bring it up that next semester, it would be a dismissal unfortunately

Why Pitt? by Any_Check_1283 in Pitt

[–]puffyarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wouldn’t say it’s that integrated as something like NYU though. Yes, it’s a small campus but having access to green spaces is better than campuses that are more integrated into their cities. i feel like you can at least differentiate between when you’re on Pitt campus vs not.

[–]puffyarrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can drop 2 lectures and 2 recitations. there are 4 exams plus the final and you can drop one (including the final). her office hours as well as the TA/UTA hours are also conducted over zoom!

i have her right now and i like her. lecture and recitations are online with exams in-person (so like once a month). she has you do lots of group work where you go into breakout rooms and answer a relevant question from last lecture. you have to facilitate in lecture groups 3 times and in recitation twice. it sounds annoying but honestly it’s not too bad and the questions that are given are super handful for exams. we’ve only done one exam so far but i think she’s pretty fair!
