I had my entire schedule planned to graduate by August. I enrolled when my balance was at 0. And I just got informed that one of my classes for Summer Session A was cancelled and my balance is currently at 17k. I was trying to postpone payment with a student loan until late July so I didn’t have to make payments on it during the school semester. Now I cannot enroll in class since balance is over 3k. what do I do?

Wanted to ask if it was an enjoyable class, and if people found it difficult.

Hi, any and all advice is welcome, sorry this is long but I wanted to write down everything. I am pretty on-top of my schoolwork, an A/high B student. My major is Art Studies but I thought I should take a digital class this semester just as an elective and it has been the bane of my existence. It's for all the Adobe programs, every other week we would work on something new- Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, Premiere, After Effects. It's a little bizarre because I am one of 5ish people in the class, though I think one or two dropped out because I haven't seen them in a while. Often I show up and it is literally just me and one other older lady that apparently repeats the class every semester.

This class is not the brunt of my coursework but it takes me so much time because my teacher is a meticulous grader, and he does not accept late work under any circumstances. He is a very nice teacher but he's old and just kind of ignorant. I am a beginner to all of these programs and we only have one class a week which leaves me to just do the best I can with no one to properly guide me when I work at home, and he doesn't even teach well in class either. When I am stuck on something he will just sit in my chair and do it for me, and sometimes HE'LL even get stuck. The majority of assignments are very time consuming and require a lot of setup to have everything in the proper files and formatting for submission, which is all brand-new to me.

Early on in the semester we had a discussion post due where we had to respond to 2 classmates. Well, I did it and no one else did, so I didn't even have anyone to reply to. I got half my points taken and when I asked about it he told me to make my original post longer next time so I can get full points, but he did not give any points back.

I average a B/C on every assignment, not because I don't put in the effort but because there are SO many requirements on every assignment. File unnamed? Deduction. Used 4 effects instead of 5? Deduction. Didn't use enough color? Deduction. Didn't have enough layers? Deduction. Forgot to adjust the preset ratio? Deduction. You'd think I was in med school or something but this class is seriously just elementary school work from everyone because he's so fucking bad at explaining how to do anything, and we're all such fucking amateurs that can't wait to forget Adobe.

I missed a couple of assignments halfway through the semester because I had problems with my insurance, leading to my usual med cocktail being messed up and sending me spiraling until it got fixed. During this time I simply did not have the bandwidth to fight with Adobe, though I did finish a big-ticket item late, which I emailed to him but he refused to re-open the assignments or give me any points back and those zeroes brought me down from a B to a D. Since then I've been putting in extra effort because I did the math and I had to get As on every upcoming assignment to even pass.

Now I thought I nailed the last critique we had before our final next week. We filmed trailers and put them all together in Premiere. I had trouble with the sound and text on mine and it took my teacher 20 min to fix it for me before I submitted it, but I had triple checked everything besides that and was sure I'd get full marks, and I presented it in class and then submitted it. I got my grade back this morning and I got SIXTY PERCENT on it because my file had corrupted when I moved everything into the folders for submission and the text and sound was not accessible when he opened it up for grading, DESPITE IT BEING PERFECT ON THE CANVAS BOARD I SHOWED THE CLASS. I told him this and asked if he could show me how to fix it in the files so I could get points back since he had seen the correct video, and he said no more points could be given since the due date had passed. I am now going to fail this fucking class because of this but it feels so unfair, I gave a really good effort this semester and it's all for nothing because of his grading policies. Is there anything I can do?

I’m currently taking this class, and its not the first 400 level class ive taken, and just wanna know if anyone else is or has taken this class and feel like they are drowning. Like immense amount of both reading and lectures to watch, plus the writing assignments just seem to be overkill, plus I have other classes and a job. Like I said this isn’t my first 400 level class but is absolutely the worst one Ive taken in terms of course load, or maybe i’m just burnt out.

Ok so as the title suggests I have no clue what to do for my honors thesis. Here is some context I am a forensic science major on the west valley campus..So starting off when I first started brainstorming ideas for what to do I came up with an idea of creating some kind of board game that teaches forensic science concepts. Now when my advisor heard that idea she liked it and thought it was unique. And told me there is an analog games thesis pathways class in Tempe u can take. So off I went on my merry way to decide specifically what I wanted to do and who my advisor could be. While thinking of specifics I realized making a physical board game that adequately teaches forensic science concepts the way I wanted would be hard. So back to drawing board I went and had a million dollar idea of a digital game / simulation kinda like how we did gizmos in school for sciemce classes. Which would teach the person all about the crime scene investigation process, the evidence analysis process, the courtroom process and all the steps in between. The only problem is I don’t know how to code / can only do the most basic coding known to man. But I brought it up to my advisor anyways and was told email the professor who teaches the thesis pathways class and see if she knows any cs students u can collab with. So I thought problem solved, I emailed her and got a response. Her response basically said ur idea is great but with the time you have, and knowing the experience levels of the CS undergrads who could potentially collab with you they wouldn’t have enough experience or knowledge to adequately take on the task. ( I have now decided to take this project on post grad and hire someone to help me code for it )

So back to the drawing board I went and after doing some more thinking and asking around I came up with a different more mid idea which was like a choose your adventure type game. Where the person would be presented with a case, and for each step would be presented with 3-4 options on what they could do for that step in the process. If they get it correct there will be an explanation as to why it’s correct and if it’s wrong there will be an explanation on why it’s wrong and what could be done instead. So talked to my advisor about it who liked it and gave me go ahead to find advisor and second chair. I emailed one person for each and the professor I emailed for second chair said he wants to meet and discuss my idea further. Only problem is after reading that email I got to thinking how I would explain it to him. Only to realize I don’t like the ideas as much as I thought I did. Since it won’t adequately teach anything and will just become a guessing game. And now I don’t know what to do. Because if I stick with my base idea of creating a game the way I would want to do it i physically can’t do right now. Only problem is I have no clue what else I can do.

So any advice would be greatly appreciate.

Hey y’all I’m taking this girl out tonight and I’m wondering if there’s any chill spots we can hang out at, sit down, have a smoke and chat. I’m in the ASU area and nothing sounds chill to me like that. Also does Tempe town lake have parking (paid is fine). Lmk. All the help and advice is appreciated.

What are the core teachings or insights that guide the curriculum for ASU’s aba program? Is there anyone here that teaches or has completed the program? I’d like to hear your experiences. This isn’t interrogating, but I’m doing some research on ABA and I’m wondering how asu approaches ethics and autism.

Specifically:

- Are there any connections with autistic advocacy networks?

- Are autistic people involved in any pedagogy, training, etc?

- Is the practice still rooted in mitigating autistic symptoms? How is it described in the coursework?

- what ethics are discussed? Is the history of autism involved in coursework?

- How is masking discussed?

- How is ableism discussed?

If you are autistic, or know someone that is autistic, how empowering to you or that individual would the discipline be, when applied?

I was taking an exam (honorlocked monitored) and during my test my window completely closed! I freaked out but I was able to access it immediately. Has this ever happened to someone before? I’m worried that it’ll affect me and they try to say I was cheating or something. I’ve heard this program is very sensitive.

I still have no clue why it shut down.

I just want to hear peoples thoughts on my situation. In a couple of weeks me and my parents will be moving to Arizona as immigrants, I wanted to transfer to asu right away but saw that the tuition is 3x more if you're not in state tuition. I've already read a lot of stuff about people getting denied their in state tuitions because of all the requirements like not studying for a year, parents must also live in az, and etc. Will they really question my commitment to az as an immigrant?? like I am considering taking a gap year just to be eligible for the in state tuition but I dont really know how they look at an immigrant's application. I'd be glad to hear what you guys think!

What kind of tutors are in the highest demand? How do people find tutors? What do students pay for tutors?

I am disabled and looking to make some side money by working from home or by working one day a week at the school. I have a 4.0 GPA.

I used to teach allied health classes, including A&P, medical terminology, and pathophysiology. I have experience tutoring middle and high school students and I specialize in Kinetic learners and students with ADHD/ spectrum disorder.

I can tutor healthcare compliance, ethics, philosophy, and Gen Ed classes (Lab sciences, social sciences, Spanish, etc.). I am strongest in essay and technical writing skills as well as research. Are any of these tutors in high demand?

Is anybody else upset that ASU switched the name of the degree? I’m in my last 3 classes and I’m a mass communication specialist in the U.S. Army. I specifically went for this degree because it sounds and fits perfectly with my job. Now I’m being told tough luck, it’s changing. Any other thoughts of people in this degree field?

Looking forward to join a business frats at ASU Tempe. What are some good one?

What is the difference between social and business? Does that mean business frats don’t have party and stuff?

I am a Starbucks barista so my classes at ASU are paid for by Starbucks. This Spring semester I am only taking one class. I am taking only a Session B class. I am wondering if I drop it now will I have to pay any money back? I don’t care if they pay for my classes next semester, I just don’t have the money to pay this back…

Hi yall. I’m talking with an administrator soon but want to find out some information. I’m going to assume I can’t but I want a healthcare degree.

Problem is I’m online and receiving the free schooling through Starbucks. I want to be an ultrasound technician or something similar. I’m still exploring but are there any degrees online that would be worth pursuing first to make it easier?
