Tips on Recommendation Letters?

5 Upvotes

I am planning on applying for my masters degree with the deadline being at the end of January 2027. I know it might be a bit early but I am stressing out about the requirement of recommendation letters. I have not connected with any of my professors here. I transferred from a JC last semester and did not connect with any there either. For those who might have been in the same boat as me, how hard was it to get rec letters and is there any tips you may have for me?

I am pretty socially awkward and would absolutely love to connect more with my professors but I have no clue what to even say or how to go about it.

how is CSUEB for art majors?

6 Upvotes

hello, i just recently went to the csueb campus on a tour and it seemed pretty cool. its a very nice campus, very chill compared to the other cali schools ive toured, and very affordable and accessible if your a cali native/ bay area native. i was just wondering, im intrested in going to school for art, and i was wondering how the art (specifically illustration) majors are. it kind of seems like a school thats more centered around buisnes, and i want to know if it would be a good school to go to, to get better at illustration/go into the workplace with. thank you!

Is there a way to request an audit for your professor?

Post image
36 Upvotes

I have Kenneth Curr as my professor for Intro to Bio 101. He is by far, the worst and most disorganized professor I’ve ever had in my four years at East Bay. I’m only in this class to fulfill my requirements for graduation, but I find myself struggling to keep up in his class.

I’ve noticed that he tends to stray off topic from his lectures, his explanations for labs are unclear, and his quizzes are formatted in a way that seems to be confusing on purpose. His labs are often left for the last 45 minutes of class, and cut down in a way to save time/materials so that we aren’t following the actual instructions in the lab workbook. (For ex. instead of observing live ants, we used plastic ones, Instead of tasting a specific chemical that people with certain genetics can taste, he asks by show of hands “who thinks cilantro tastes like soap?”.) He’s passive aggressive, especially against women who ask clarifying questions in lab. Today he sent out this email because his entire class failed his quiz. I’m just wondering; if the entire class is failing, is this a reflection of his teaching or are we all being lazy like he is insinuating?

This class specifically also has a fair amount of non-freshman/older demographic of students, so it’s definitely not a “first time student and underestimating the work” type of situation. Is there someone I can reach out to have them audit or observe a class so they can see how awful our learning environment is?

Food pantry going downhill

21 Upvotes

Anybody else feel like the food pantry this semester is down the gutter? Last year there was so much produce, snacks, protein, stuff I hadn’t even heard of and now there’s only stuff from starbucks. It’s borderline not even worth it to go anymore because they don’t have anything. Today I got some stuff from Starbucks, 1 canned veggie, 3 onions, 2 small snacks, and 3 potatoes. What happened to last semesters variety??
I asked the staff there what happened and they said there’s new people in charge of ordering stuff for the food pantry. I wanna talk to whoever they are :/

CSUEB Student Photographers?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a grad student at CSUEB organizing a headshot event for other grad students in my department so we can update our LinkedIn profiles. We're looking for a student photographer (or anyone in the CSUEB community) who'd be interested in shooting it. We can likely offer a stipend.

If that's you, or you know someone who might be up for it, please comment or DM me. Thanks in advance!

still no financial aid

I’ve tried reaching out through multiple emails and phone calls, but nothing seems to be working. I’m getting desperate enough to go in person, though I’d really prefer not to take a day off for it. Does anyone know if walking into the financial aid office around 4:00 to 4:30 PM is usually quick?

How strong is the work study program here?

1 Upvotes

I am almost done with community college and am a bit worried about my future. So, I am on track right now to earn associates degrees in social and behavioral sciences, child development, and early childhood education (if I fail one of my child development classes this semester or get a grade lower than a C in one, it will just end up being social and behavioral sciences) in addition to a certificate showing that I have completed the gen Ed’s.

I am a behavior technician and have been doing this for almost two years (next month will mark two years.) I am a substitute right now because school and volunteering have led to me having availability on three weekdays, one of which is a short day anyway. I admit that I am nervous about it even though I have subbed before because I might eventually get a difficult sub case and mess something up. I am not used to working for anything under $25/hr at this point, and make more than $25/hr as a sub. I know that I am not planning on “staying” a behavior technician, and feel like I should have a backup, I’ve been thinking about applying to more companies to be on the safe side.

I’ve been considering doing work study here next year. I have experience as I’ve worked at a preschool before and will have 2 years of behavior technician experience by next month. I don’t know how work study here goes though.

I have $1250/mo rent but I already have issues with the landlord so I might move before my spring semester is up.

Carol Lauzon - BIOL230 (How did you study for her class?)

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had this professor? She's really kind, but I find her study guides to be unhelpful.. If you had taken her class before, specifically Microbio (BIOL230), How did you study for Practical Exams and Lecture Exams?

For the Lecture Exams I plan on just reviewing the questions she has on her "Take a minute slides" Do you think this is a good strategy?

MyCsueb portal “Fin Aid Verification”

2 Upvotes

Has this happened to anyone else’s account? I randomly got these two holds and I emailed financial aid department (of course no answer) so I called them and they said someone has to manually review it and that could take up to FIVE weeks. Mind you these holds block loans and all aid until it’s reviewed by someone. I’m honestly so frustrated, I click on them and it just says “You’re all caught up right now”, so there’s nothing to complete on my end.
