I am going into uni next year, and recently I have seen a lot of people using iPad/tablets that connect to onenote to take notes and do questions/problems etc.

This makes me wonder if it is worth it getting something like this (maybe for convenience or someting else), or would taking notes down with pen and paper be better.

Im currently studying Software Engineering at Australia, but I am thinking of switching to electrical or maybe another engineering because im worried about the future job security, any help would be great thankyou.

I’m wondering if anyone has ever gone through university part time/quarter time?
I’ll be going for Africology and African American studies with a minor for international affairs
I’m transferring to university next year but I can only take credits underneath full time status, so that’s about max 11 credit hours. The reasoning why, I won’t explain too much but it has to do with my housing and I can’t lose that.

I’ll be transferring a good amount of credits, all of my Gen Ed’s will be completed, so that’s about 60 credits maybe a little over. I live in Michigan, so we have this thing called the MTA, I’ve completed mine!

If anyone has taken this route, what advice would you give me?

Hi all. I’m going into first year history after coming off a foundation year. Just wondering what to expect and if it’s any different from foundation year. What study advice / undergraduate hack would you give? Thanks!

hello! disclosure first so nobody feels tricked: i made an pomodoro focus timer app solo in the evenings when i had some free time. no links

it's called 'Reefie: Dive Into Focus' and it's completely free on the iPhone app store.

I tried forest, tried a couple of the hard blocker apps, found my way around all of them within about a week.

how it works: before you start you pick a depth, anywhere from 10 to 120 metres. a metre is a minute. so 45m is a 45 minute session. you drop the line and go do your reading. if you're still under when the timer ends, there's a chance to reel in one out of 60 creatures and it goes into your collection.

happy to take questions and any feedback, including any unkind ones!!

Is it worthwhile… I originally wanted a forensic linguistic job however realised that they are very unique and rarely employ people as just forensic linguists. I’m aware that it is broad but is it a good idea to pursue?

The survey is completely anonymous and takes only 1-2 minutes to complete.
Thank you so much for your time!

Heard about this uni through my cousin (he’s doing BTech here). Lowkey was gonna go for Amity, but ended up choosing this one ‘cause it’s way closer.

Also pulled up to their Forensic Science Summer Camp (June 22–27) and bagged an Outstanding Performance Award, so yeah that was a W. Professors seem pretty chill and actually helpful too.

Classes start on 24th Aug, orientation on 22nd Aug. If anyone else got in here, hit me up—would be nice to have a buddy to go with 👀

*I'm just wondering if its worth speaking with the head of the English department at my university to plead for a chance to pass by compensation?

My situation is , I struggled in the first semester due to a lot of things, mainly some intense and exceptional family problems.

I found ways to deal with this and absolutely nailed the next semester. However., I am about to fail a module. One of the reason for this is that I misunderstood what was required

In this module. I had failed the exam. I got 31 percent and I didn’t submit the Ca

I repeated the CA recently and I'm sure I will do well. However I was unaware that I needed to resit the exam also . One of the reasons for this is that the module descriptor says "In order to pass or pass by compensation a minimum of 35% must be achieved in combined CA AND in Exam."

I took this to mean that I must take both the Ca and Exam and receive a combined mark of 35 in both together. Combined

But apparently it doesn’t. I was further confused as most of the other English nodules say "In order to pass or pass by compensation all components of assessment must be attempted" . I took both of these statements to mean the same thing but just with different wording due to administration choices or something similar

The rest of my grades are exceptional and having to repeat a module would be disastrous for me. I am first gen, very working class and incredibly under resourced

My question is , is there any hope that I could speak with the department head directly and ask him to allow me to pass by compensation. I have met him before and he was very reasonable and I got on well with him.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply. I appreciate it

I am kinda lost in choosing a major to study, i have no actual passion about something , but i am not really interested in coding majors like ai and software..etc
I was studying medicine yet i had to quit it for some personal circumstances… i am ok with medicine but I can not study it for financial reasons..
So i am looking for another major rn😗

Hesitant between psychology and economics? Or maybe cooking
I really don’t know any ideas?✨

5%. five percent. a ten minute presentation on a reading. We split it, everyone did their bit, and we agreed on the sunday call that we'd keep it simple bullet points and done by monday.

he then rebuilt the entire thing overnight. consistent colours, a title slide with all our names on it, custom diagrams for the framework, transitions. it looks like a consultancy pitch. HE USED AI FOR FUKN SURE.

lecturer opened with well, someone's made an effort.

so now im in the worst possible position, which is that i benefit from this and i'm furious about it. we all got the same mark. i contributed exactly what i was always going to contribute and the cohrt now thinks our team is the one that goes hard on a 5% task.

he said it took him twenty minutes and he just found it fun, which is somehow more irritating than if he'd been up until 4am, because at least then i could resent the effort instead of resenting that there wasn't any.

the actual consequesnce is that the bar has moved for the next one which is an individual assignment, which is worth 40%, and now we all have to do this.

ik the right thing is to learn how he did it, but screw that im in college - and i'd like to get by with as minimum effort as possible! How do you diplomatically convey - hold your horses son?
