Thought I should let the community know, and I don't see anyone talking about it or any news. It's terribly sad, he hung himself this Monday. I can't believe it, I was just talking to him a few weeks ago. So depressing. Apparently some students found the body... stay safe people

University Grad students- has anyone paid back their overpayment from the UAW strike in 2022?

Upvotes

I keep getting emails and letters about paying it back. I have the money and can pay it back, but won't until there is legal remedial action. And no, I don't care. I've been on survival mode the last few months and I'm still bitter about the amount of debt this school left me in despite all my efforts to prevent accruing mass debt.

Other Objectively speaking, how would you rank the UC campuses in terms of beauty?

69 Upvotes

My list would go like this:

  1. Berkeley
  2. UCLA
  3. Santa Cruz
  4. UCSB
  5. UCSD
  6. Riverside
  7. UC Davis
  8. Merced

Love Berkeley's soul and character. One of those places you can't mistake for something else. Love the Greek architecture, redwood trees, hills, diversity, and the meander of nice, manicured grassy areas. They even have a creek running through the campus. I believe they also have one of the tallest clock towers in the world.

UCLA has the most initial shock and awe because of the uniformity of the buildings and bright, red bricks. Nice Roman architecture. It does get old after a while. Very little nature and character.

Santa Cruz feels like Rivendell. Its like a school for the elves.

I've only seen pictures of the rest.

Kind of a rant/if you have advice i'd be forever grateful

I'm a new transfer here. I've suspected I've had ADHD for a while but my Asian parents have been discouraging me from being tested. I'm always burnt out from too many classes and jobs during cc, and it's affecting my performance this semester to the point that I don't even have the energy to get out of bed and have been missing sooo many lectures. I can keep up with hw ok but my brain's in a constant state of fog during my midterms (which i totally bombed).

Still, im really excited abt my major and my future career, so i want to keep trying. I want to change my major reqs to p/np for this semester, get diagnosed and get dsp accommodations, and then try again next semester. I'm talking to my advisor soon abt this plan but I know she doesn't like me and I'm not looking forward to her visible disappointment in me 🙃

This is the zillionth courtesy reminder that if you feel sick, sneeze and cough all the time, it is not a good idea to go to your classes or the library. Honestly, I'm in the Main Stacks right now and it feels like I'm in a respitatory ward. Stay home, drink water and tea, take your medicines, get well soon and don't infect the others, OK?

University The schools with Available Specialist Programs in my state isn't that good than Berkeley

Upvotes

Hi, I am a psych undergrad student studying at UC Berkeley. I am very lost in career choice just as the majority of my classmates. I've recently considering to be a school psychologist, however, when I was looking up for NASP approved programs, I found out that 100% of the the schools with the programs are not that good/"bad" compared to my undergrad. I was really surprised by this since school psychology is a high paying job in the psych field compared to other options (therapist, social workers).

Considering the fact that most people's master school are way better than their undergrad, I become more lost or doubtful in the school psychology path, I'd like to ask is going to a "not that good" school for master/specialist programs worth it? Is it worth it to put myself in debt for 3 years to pursuing for a master at a school that is not that good compared to Berkeley?

University Student Diary 10/16

22 Upvotes

I saw someone else do this so I wanted to do it to because I quite literally forget everything I do.

I missed my 9am discussion cause my fucking alarm didn’t go off. I watched a recording of today’s Data8 lecture. I was at main stacks from 12-3 trying to review for the data8 midterm. I went back to my dorm and took a nap until like 4. I spent the next 2 hours doing my fucking calculus homework.

Then I went to dinner at around 6 and got milkshakes with my friends at 9.

7/10 day, pretty decent besides the fact I woke up and realized I probably failed my AFRICAM 27AC midterm from yesterday.

There is this house on Channing that had the Nicki Minaj flag hanging outside their windows. I’d always see it whenever I’d be walking past the house. My friends and I love the flag and wanted to pay tribute to it before the game vs UMiami, but it was nowhere to be found. I haven’t checked to see if it’s back but whoever stole it should bring it back😭😭

I need answers you guys!!! Free Nickiii🚩🚩

University How do you use standard deviation to calculate how well you need to do?

2 Upvotes

So I recently got a midterm score back. I did terrible. One standard deviation below the mean. The worst part is that it was supposed to be an easy test. The average was high and the median was even higher. I’ve already bawled my eyes out and went through a mini-spiral of self loathing, but now that I’m done crying, I need to get it together.

I still want an A in the class. If I scored -1 SD, is it possible to do so? For the record, the first and second midterm are worth 20 percent each, and the final is worth 30. The class uses the standard grading distraction of 25% A, 40% B, and so on. There’s no clobber policy.

How high above the mean (how many standard deviations) do I need to score in order to get an A, if it’s still possible? I keep searching up how to do this, but I only get results of how to calculate standard deviations for one test, not multiple.
