This may be true, but why are you even in school if you're not gonna do the work? If you enlisted, you won't convince anyone you're somehow "above" English 101 writing assignments.

Stuff you write in college sticks around for decades and gets dug up and reread for a variety of reasons. I'm leaving aside the whole ethical issue since clearly that isn't a problem for this idiot. I see what you mean, tests do hold a bit less weight.

Actual decent classes I give a poo poo about I'd write them myself, but this English 101 bullshit (rhetorical analysis, WOO!) is going to make me lose my loving mind with how terrible and pedantic it is. You will actually learn something from doing a thing you don't feel like doing, imagine that. It may not be something you want to learn, but it will be something useful. And next time it will be easier. Don't be a bitch. If you can't hack a 101 class, quit school.

Why wouldn't you just CLEP Eng 101? I know the first try is free for active / reserves, but don't vets still get at least a discount? You only need like a 50 to pass and get credit too on most of them. That's my plan this summer. Knocking out as many CLEPs as I can between the spring and fall semesters so I don't have to wade through bullshit classes and waste benefit months, since I'm working full time and only able to take a few classes at once.

Most schools have software, or pay for a 3rd party service, that scans all electronically submitted work and compares it to your current class' work, previous submissions and even crawls the web, and research databases. If you do a direct copy and paste, chances are pretty good you'll get caught because there are characters, symbols, and code snippets that don't render, but still get copied into your documents. That how people get busted in pretty much every CSE department, and it happens for other classes too. If you type out something verbatim, it's less likely you'll get caught. However, there's still a chance for someone who's been teaching the class for years to recognize the work. I hated English too, but I did the work myself, and actually managed to get good grades in those classes. Now I forgot everything and my grasp on grammar is back to caveman levels.

I think that's his point: he wanted to take the easy freshman level courses for the GPA bump. In other news, the VA sent me a letter saying that they're doing away with REAP and that basically anyone eligible for REAP is also eligible for post 9/11. Does the VA consider 3 graduate courses as full time?

Following the china.jpg thread has given a lot of insight into these types things. Lots of rich chinese students don't speak or read any english yet get into various grad/bachelors programs and do nothing but cheat their way through. Upon being caught it's mostly swept under the rug and they're quietly given their degrees. Virtually all will simply return to China once done and take a job at dad's company or working for him in his government office. The degree is meaningless other than just to say they have it. The schools turn a blind eye because they gouge the gently caress out of them on tuition.

I got the good news yesterday that my PEB said so I'm planning and moving forward to going to college. Applying at USD and trying to get into their arts program ending up with a BA in Visual Arts with emphasis on Video/Film and hopefully a minor in photography. Hoping I can get accepted, even though I have prior college (almost have my AA Gen Studies at Thomas Edison) they might not accept any of my credits because it's from an online school despite it being regionally accredited. Anyone got some pointers and tips for me?

I'm a 46R in the Army, and I've been doing film and producing for 4+ years. I like the creativity of it, and I've already been approached by a group in Australia about potentially going to work there based on my current work. I'd plan on trying to work for a production company or editing company with it, and maybe go back and work as a GS. I'm sure I could do that now but slots are always slim, I don't have a degree despite being close to getting one, and it's honestly probably the best option for my skill set. I could also do a BA in Humanities with some emphasis in film and video work, but I'd rather just have the whole shebang.

I know a couple dudes that do film stuff now, but they got degrees in journalism and mass media. They're doing pretty well for themselves these days, but there was about a year or two after college where they didn't have much going on pay check wise. However, I do know of a few other people with film degrees, or some degree with the intention of getting into film, that do nothing closely related to it years after graduating. The experience you have definitely will be an advantage so good luck. Also, you should hop on that Australian thing because that place is fun as gently caress, also to help build up your professional reel. elite_garbage_man fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 19, 2016 |

This might not be the right thread, but where should I go for BAH questions? I didn't receive any at the beginning of the month, and my vocrehab counselor said she forgot to file the paperwork. That was two weeks ago. My school said she called yesterday asking for them to send her the paperwork again. She hasn't answered any of my emails or calls this week. I honesty don't know what to do. If this doesn't get fixed by the first of the month I'll be sunk.
