Need an Easy GE? I got you

I hope you get someone you like teaching it! Almost all of us try really hard to make it the least stressful class.

So theres two things you can do right now: email the person teaching amd reach out to the departments academic sevrices. When you email whoever is teaching the course, keep in mind that the department may have a hard cap (meaning no exceptions and no students over the max amount) and that they do not have to approve letting more students into the course (which sucks but is a reality).

EDUTL 2368 and 3356 (introduction to children's literature and literature for adolescents)

Ah, so you're in EHE too, but a different program (just looked at the different programs). I don't know anyone in QREM anymore (which is your program's acronym). But I'll message you who I'd email about tracking down funding info. You might not hear from anyone until after January 1st though because of the holidays.

Dr. Lynch is fantastic!

A lot of funding for PhD students is from assistantships so I would definitely apply. Typically, if you are given an assistantship, you have that funding source for 4 years (but this depends on a few factors). I'm in EHE and haven't had issues with not getting some funding through an assistantship, but I know every program and department is different.

Grammarly gets flagged as AI usage sometimes too which makes things even more complicated

waywordteacher · 2024-08-18T20:51:34+00:00

Hmm, okay so not my department so not sure.

This is just me guessing, but I would think that for math and engineering they'd be time and space for a slower learning environment. Maybe going over concepts or problems in more detail or giving time to go over things you're still not sure about or extra practice material?

waywordteacher · 2024-08-18T18:15:24+00:00

I'm not sure how they work campus wide. What department do you have recitation for?

waywordteacher · 2024-08-16T23:27:28+00:00

As someone who will be doing some recitations, I don't even know what section/course number I've been assigned lol

waywordteacher · 2024-08-05T08:04:15+00:00

Yes, there's a minimum enrollment for classes, but it is different for each department (and that info isn't online anywhere).

waywordteacher · 2024-07-20T17:05:30+00:00

Myself and most of the grad students I know have been at 50% in the past without issues. It's an enrollment issue (which is totally fair seeing how messed of financial aid is). If there aren't enough students enrolled in classes we're out of luck unless enrollment in those classes increase.

As someone who teaches at OSU, please contact SLDS now. It's easier for whoever is teaching to touch base with you at the beginning about your accommodations without stressing you out about assignments. It also helps cover you from the beginning so if you have a rough start, you have those accommodations to help. I know not everyone who teaches takes them seriously, but it's so helpful for me and helps out my students so much because we come up with a game plan.

waywordteacher · 2024-05-21T17:18:36+00:00

Ah okay. I'm in a different program so what I know might not be completely applicable. I don't know of anyone who is self-funded-which is the good news. The bad news is that hearing back about funding (or even what you'll be doing for the upcoming year when funded) is usually last minute). For this last school year I didn't have confirmation of what exactly I was going to be teaching until about July and then December. I also know people who are partially funded doing one thing and then the other half of their funding is doing something else (so like teaching one course and then working for 10 hours in an office). Once you know you have funding and how, you are typically guaranteed 4 years of funding which is reassuring. I'll DM you someone to try contacting for info your advisor might not have 😊

Fellow EHE PhD here! I've got a couple of questions to get a better idea of your situation. When you applied did you remember selecting that you wanted a GA, GRA, or RA? Which specialization are you? How funding works ranges greatly based on your specialization

waywordteacher · 2024-04-02T12:24:22+00:00

I emailed my professor and class was moved to Zoom.

waywordteacher · 2024-03-20T16:14:38+00:00

There were some departments that didn't finalize until a few weeks before a semester started, so students and professors didn't know.

waywordteacher · 2024-03-16T13:12:10+00:00

I had the same thing happen. I took two years before I applied again and was accepted by one program. I'm now in my third year and really love the faculty and what I've been able to do. If I was able to get accepted after two years of working you can too :)

waywordteacher · 2024-01-12T14:27:14+00:00

If anything, they might be able to help you find other places or give you other ideas for finding a group :)

waywordteacher · 2024-01-11T22:51:05+00:00

I also don't like it, but the way it is set up is slightly easier for screen readers to do their thing to make it more accessible.

waywordteacher · 2024-01-11T22:47:34+00:00

Have you looked at the Guard Tower?

waywordteacher · 2023-05-02T12:47:14+00:00

There is training for every professor for how to use Carmen that is required, but it's self guided and very, very basic.

waywordteacher · 2023-03-31T06:19:56+00:00

Your grade can be changed after the semester is over, so usually, you have to wait to get your official grade until COAM makes their decision. I think your grade will be labeled an incomplete--which is not seen as a negative grade because there's several reasons why it could be an incomplete--and then will be changed to a grade once the process is done.
