Yeah it’s definitely easy to forget when it’s like that, or you have to come back and respond after x date But wait lol noon? Like middle of the day? That’s just cruel I’ve had cooler teachers that’ll do like Sunday at 1 AM or later Monday morning but that was more to hook us up especially if it was a holiday weekend

Every class except one stuff was due 11:59pm Pacific time regardless of where the student lives. One professor wanted stuff due before class time, her class is the only one I didn't get an A in

I had to make sure I was on top of when homework assignments were due in my Cal 3 class because it seemed like the professor kept changing the due dates all the time. I'd check the homework for one section and see it was due on Saturday, so I'd put it off so I could work on homework for another class. Then I check again on Wednesday, and he changed the due date to Thursday. So I'd have to crunch through the homework for both classes. Or I'd rush to make sure some homework got done when it was due on Thursday, and he changes the due date to Sunday after I already got some questions wrong and got points off because I was trying to make sure I had anything submitted at all, and there's no way to change them once they've been submitted. I still don't know how I got an A in that class because I for sure didn't do great on the final.

I mentioned it to other people in my class, but they said they didn't notice. A bunch of them were apparently just using Chegg or something to find the answers to the questions without doing them. One day the professor noticed that a bunch of people had 100s on the homework and then he looked and noticed that the assignments had only been completed in like 5 minutes. He was pretty pissed, but I guess I got the last laugh on those other people since I actually learned the material.

Learning the material is orthogonal to getting an A in most of my classes. Since I’m taking two summer classes this summer to make the six credit requirement I’ve finally run into a summer class that tries to be all serious. Gotta respond on the forums about discussion prompts every other day. Gotta install literal spyware that uses your webcam to track your eyes and hands while taking tests. Somehow this isn’t against university policy.

Shithead teammate actually turned in the spreadsheet I sent him to help with an assignment. Gee, the chair of a computer department couldn't possibly notice the author's name different on the Excel file. Got a 0 for it, which is a letter grade down. Yay!

Got an email from the Veterans Certification Center at my university. Turns out they are lowering both the number and amount they will cover with YR. Went from being 120 students and unlimited right before I enrolled to 120 students and $10k matching last semester and now 90 students and $8k matching this semester. I realize I will have way less student debt than my colleagues and that YR can change at any time but still feel like I was sold a bill of goods that kept changing. I guess if I knew that we weren't going to be moving and I could rewind, I would have stayed local here and had it all covered.

Just submitted final assignment of the summer semester. Truly the shittiest semester I've ever had, undergrad or post-grad. First class of Fall Semester is Saturday. I could flip a coin right now on whether I care to continue or not.

Was just offered a graduate assistanceship in the fall (either a TA or research assistant). How do tuition waivers work with the post-911 GI bill? If I accept, they waive 9 hours of tuition costs and pay me $3000 spread over the semester.

I shouldn't have said anything about my graduation, since now I'm failing Physics II, like, bad. It's probably on me for trying to ram it through during summer session with grad application pending, but it's literally the very last class I need My exam scores have gone 24, 48, 32 My score on Exam 1 and on 3 were the lowest in the class lol I feel like I'm leaving the university in absolute disgrace

Physics II is hard as poo poo. I dropped out of school after I got super loving overwhelmed by that class. After that I enlisted with an 18X (yes, really) contract before ending up just 11B1P in Italy and Bragg. If you keep yourself from loving up like I did you should be okay. Have you been going to office hours and poo poo throughout the semester?

Physics II really hosed me up because I wasn't really getting it and I was thinking "I'm majoring in electrical engineering and I'm not understanding any of this electricity poo poo". It didn't help that the professor would teach the absolute bare bones basics in class and then the homework was immediately super complicated. I think I learned more from looking at the homework solutions than I did from his class. It also didn't help that he moved so fast because of his powerpoints that I had no time to retain anything. I would do a homework problem and swear up and down that he didn't teach it because I had never seen it before in my life. Lo and behold, it's in one of his slides and he just barely touched on it before moving on.

4 weeks isn't enough time to cover 4 credits + a 1 credit lab of difficult material. Office Hours were never going to help wity weekly exams and multiple homework assignments daily, because there wasn't enough time. I'll just take it at community college and transfer it in and then apply for my degree again. I can take a year before the university throws me out and I have to reapply for admission. I had to take Physics 1 twice, and I'm super dumb with Calculus, so it's not a big surprise or anything, but I'm feeling pretty embarrassed over the whole thing. I was taking the class with some friends, so I didn't get to fail in comfortable privacy, and like 6 people I've known for several years get to watch me flame out. I was planning on having the degree done while I look for jobs -- now I just have to search for shittier jobs

You could just get a job by telling them you just have one class left to finish before you get your degree. Then just never bother to actually take that class. That's what my sister did.

That's what my sister did. I always wonder about this because I will have a single class that is held only in fall that I will have to complete, so I will be working on both the associates and bachelors at the same time. I'm tempted to just list both degrees on my resume and see what happens.

Generally speaking having the degree within the next six months is acceptable unless they're real sticklers about it. Some places most certainly are, so don't be surprised if they turn you down.

If it's coming up soon, you can also just put the month and year that you anticipate graduating.

Yeah, seconding these, reasonable employers should give it a pass, especially if it's a supporting class.

Not sure if you didn’t know, or care, but generally in addition to the good advice above: you can walk/graduate if you’re less than I think 6-8 units away I believe? Actually not sure if any colleges don’t let you. Yeah your degree of course isn’t going to post until you do the requirements

You can generally walk up to a year early, depending on policy. I think at my school it was >91 credits for students enrolled full time.

I have 177 credits on my Bachelor's transcript, lol. Of course like 30 credits were useless military related credits (granted by an actual public CC though) that transferred in.

My turn to walk was in May, but I noticed that no part of the process for participating in all that involved actual graduation. You can just get a gown and join the ceremony any time they have one lol In any case, I didn't walk bc I don't have a "proud" setting in my brain. A lot of my friends from my grad class were disappointed. I never even told my family I'm graduating. I can't really say when I'll graduate for real until I find a community college, but I guess I could this winter if I jump on that asap

I skipped walking both times and both times my mom +grandma were PISSED. I was the only one to graduate from college, let alone grad school, so I didn't realize how big of a deal it was to_other_people. Whoops.

I floated the idea of skipping graduation when I was visiting my parents with one semester to go. It's Christmas morning and my dad and I spend a good 5-10 minutes batting around ideas for other stuff to do on that weekend—a family trip to the beach or even something ambitious like flying to New York for a few days. Then I hear my mom sob behind me. Needless to say, I walked.

Walking was for other people for me. I was stressed out as gently caress at my graduation and look ghastly in the pictures. I felt better when one of my friends told me she almost had a panic attack on stage at hers. I'm glad I did it for family cause they did a lot to support me and my mom and dad would have been extremely disappointed.

I skipped high school graduation and CC graduation. Feel like I robbed myself of closure with the high school one, but don't give two shits about CC. That was a large part of why I walked for my bachelor's and will when I do grad school some day.

Geology coursework was really fun most of the time, but the year each of calc, chem and physics has been a real pain in the neck I got to do lots of hiking and a little camping and made my own maps and poo poo You could study art history or something World's your oyster, it's your gi bill. Pick a good school and study anything that tickles your fancy
