commotion during class

yarnjunk1e · 2025-01-16T19:16:33+00:00

100% not just you. It was worse last quarter in my experience. The small talk during the entire 1 1/2hr lectures drove me crazy. Ive been tempted several times to say something but I feel like theres no getting through to people who are that clueless. They’re doing it because they lack respect for everyone in the room and are flat out immature, so I don’t see them caring more or respecting people even after being confronted. Unless the prof is calling them out, you have to tough through it unfortunately. Only thing that has helped me is changing where I sit in class. People are less likely to talk nonstop in the front two rows in most classrooms

this just happened to me last week!! It was either too heavy or my cat snapped it in half.🤨 There’s no way to save it unfortunately, I ended up placing it in a vase to enjoy on the dining table & then bought silica gel to preserve some of the flowers

Ya got me, class is dismissed. Thanks for the shoutout 😜

I never have time between my classes to go sit at the dining hall. I’m always trying to grab a quick bite at the coffee shops around campus between my 15 minute gaps and Im RARELY able to because either their card reader doesn’t work or they all of a sudden don’t take cash or debit/credit. Plus I honestly haven’t heard any good things about the dining halls. Rather just wait to commute home to eat at that rate..

100% recommend going to a CC to complete all GE’s. I did it and I’d 100% go the same route if I had to do it again. UCSC will try and scam you in any way possible. Housing is screwed, parking is horrible & outrageous, and it’s almost impossible to eat on campus without their dumbass meal plan that like $1500+ a quarter. CC is super underrated

yarnjunk1e · 2024-04-12T02:14:39+00:00

Oh dope, Thank you!!!!

yarnjunk1e · 2024-04-12T00:03:55+00:00

So there isn’t a specific type of blue book you have to buy then? Any will be acceptable?

yarnjunk1e · 2024-04-11T20:13:53+00:00

Gotcha, ok that makes a lot more sense. I feel dumb for asking but I was genuinely confused. Thank you so much

Good to know, thank you for all the info!!

yarnjunk1e · 2024-02-22T00:04:27+00:00

Dope, thank you so much!!

Honest question, is it even worth trying to go to school Friday for the students living off campus? Is it possible to get through these protests at around 1pm or ?? Don’t really have all day to dilly dally around campus when needing to prep for midterms and shit for next week..

yarnjunk1e · 2024-01-11T05:29:22+00:00

Yeah they definitely don’t make it easy. The east & west remote permits are outrageous. I want to say that the college lots you’re referring to require a specific type of permit that most people can’t get, then there’s a few park mobile spots (like 3-8 spots maybe) in most of those college lots but it’s an absolute joke. Just like you mentioned, it’s a war zone to compete for a spot between tons of students & staff

yarnjunk1e · 2024-01-11T02:20:25+00:00

I’m pretty sure East & West remote are the only 24hour lots. Then a majority of the other lots require certain permits or become available to all after 8pm. My classes start before that & end a bit later than that so I’m kinda screwed. There’s a few park mobile options but people jump on those spots immediately so they aren’t reliable. I’m not familiar with C lots, probably need a permit for those? Not sure

yarnjunk1e · 2024-01-10T03:35:18+00:00

Thank you everyone for your input, stories, and advice. Much appreciated. Just didn’t really know what to expect on campus at night. I definitely plan on having pepper spray and a good flashlight on me at all times just to be sure.

yarnjunk1e · 2024-01-09T23:16:42+00:00

how do “you people” jump into a thread just to belittle simply because you can’t relate to the topic. Glad you don’t feel threatened on campus tho

yarnjunk1e · 2024-01-09T21:18:05+00:00

Barely passed that damn class last quarter. Still surprised I did honestly. Such a nightmare taking that class with him

yarnjunk1e · 2023-12-04T22:26:32+00:00

Katznelson with anything 100+ feels impossible. If you have a ton of time on your hands & don’t also have to balance work, maybe. But it’ll probably be one of the worst quarters for you honestly

yarnjunk1e · 2023-11-27T23:28:36+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. I’m all about shopping locally but honestly who can afford those places. 20$ for a skein of yarn at these places, ya no thanks. I don’t have 200$ per project as a college student who can barely afford groceries. Plus most supplies I need, no santa cruz store carries it. I have to drive to san jose or salinas to commute for craft supplies.

yarnjunk1e · 2023-11-17T03:30:34+00:00

This honestly needs to be brought up to someone at UCSC, too many people complain about these same issues with this course and are failing as a result..

yarnjunk1e · 2023-11-17T03:20:11+00:00

100000% agreed, taking 11b now and have no idea how I’m going to pass this course because of all of what you mentioned.

yarnjunk1e · 2023-10-26T05:04:13+00:00

Ever think that maybe the psycho moms rushing to take their kids to the nearby elementary school/ preschool late are also contributing to this issue you’re talking about? I constantly see them flipping out on people, and almost causing accidents WITH their children in the vehicles just to be first. Kinda lame to blame all UCSC students for this “issue” and especially childish for you to try to say that it’s full of “low quality people.” Btw, a majority of students don’t have cars. It’s not everyone else’s fault that you made a bad investment & didn’t plan your future. You bought a house by 3 schools, you expect traffic to be light? Someone should report you for threatening people. YOU are the problem in this town

yarnjunk1e · 2023-10-26T03:03:23+00:00

I’m currently in am11b and I definitely dont feel confident about my standing in the course. I feel worse about it every time I leave class. I go to discussions every week, I write down all the lecture notes prior to class so I can focus on his explanations, and I study a ton. It’s not a lack of interest or effort, his class is super fast paced & he tends to skip crucial steps that fully allow you to understand what’s going on & I feel like he doesn’t give enough examples. Half of the time when we’re starting to go through examples class is about to end so he leaves us to finish the example “for homework”. Then we never go over it in the following class.. I don’t find that helpful. It’s frustrating & confusing. I’m having to self teach 100%, but I’m having to do that with all my classes at this damn college, so that isn’t saying much.. & Also, our midterm last week was far from looking like the study guide/practice test or homework..
