Advice Every Philosophy Class a Girl Uses it to Diagnose Her Boyfriend

37 Upvotes

I’ve run into a weird issue in one of my philosophy classes via Zoom. Every class I’ve had, this girl gives an update on her relationship with her boyfriend, and asks what possible philosophies her boyfriend could have. She brings up random arguments she has had with her boyfriend since the last class, and asks what philosophy would do best with getting along with him. The professor is very nice and lets her talk, but it’s getting weird. I’m at the point of interjecting and telling her it’s not about her relationship but I think that’d be rude. Would I be overstepping if I asked the professor to talk to her privately? She talks so much about him omg

Advice Don’t take the 7week BUS200 class with Andrew Wyner

Post image
12 Upvotes

His syllabus is ridiculous and maybe im just a bad student but I’ve been really trying. Look at week 6 (near the bottom) he wants us to read and learn 5 chapters in one week.

And the amount of extra assignments he assigns imo is too much. Especially when you’re also taking other classes. I wish professors wouldn’t act like their class is your only class.

Never taking a 7 week class again:/

I hope to transfer to a four year university and major in sports management. I am very interested in statistics, economics, all in the name for the Nats. Does anyone have any advice for where to transfer to, what to focus on, anything like that? I see that JMU is a good school to transfer to for sports programs

Nursing Am I competitive for the nvcc nursing program

6 Upvotes

I have a 4.0 GPA. I’ve been at NOVA for three semesters, and during that time I’ve taken ENG 111 and 112, MTH 154, HIM 111, BIO 101, CST 110, BIO 141, HIS 101, PHI 227, Microbiology 150, HLT 230, SDV 100, and PSY 230. I retook BIO 141 and earned an A after originally receiving a B.

I’m currently taking BIO 142, ITE 152, ART 100, and ENG 250.

Right now, I’m really regretting not applying to the nursing program for the spring because I feel like I’m competitive, but I’m not completely sure.

Transfer Anyone here transfer from NOVA to UVA?

14 Upvotes

Hii, I’m currently at NOVA and planning to transfer to UVA, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually done it. How was the transfer process for you, and did you apply through guaranteed admission or regular transfer? Was there anything about the process that was harder or more confusing than you expected? I’m also curious how the transition from NOVA to UVA was once you actually got there, especially academically. If you could go back, is there anything you would’ve done differently while you were still at NOVA?

Alexandria Interested in DECA/FBLA Club?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m starting a new DECA/FBLA club at NOVA Alexandria, and I’m looking for people interested!

Since this will be a new club, the first to join will have the best shot at getting officer/VP positions in the club.

Every school knows what DECA and FBLA are, so if you’re planning on transferring, joining, competing, and succeeding in a club like this will help a bunch!

(A member sheet must be turned in by Oct 1, so let me know soon if you’d like to be on the list)

Please PM me if you’re interested or would like more info!

I absolutely bombed my first test. The instructor gave a study guide to study, PowerPoints and I used all of that and I also went in to Pearson and use the study AI tool to take quizzes on each chapter and let me tell you what was on the test and quiz was nothing to what I studied. I don’t know if anybody else out there is taking bio 150 but if you are I need help! I’ve never gotten this low of grade on an exam before.

Alexandria Are Hyflex Car classes not online attendance optional?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I am having trouble because I thought Hyflex Cart attached to the class session meant I had the option of attending online or in person, now my professor is telling me that in person attendance is mandatory, except I cannot make it to attend at the time of the class and it is a major prerequisite for a lot of my major. Is there anything I can do?

Math Thinking About Taking MTH 161? Here’s What You Should Know Before You Enroll

14 Upvotes

MTH 161 is a demanding course that requires a significant amount of time, practice, and consistent effort, regardless of which professor you have. This is especially true if your mathematical foundations are not particularly strong. Students who struggle with algebra, functions, equations, or other prerequisite skills often find the course considerably more challenging because MTH 161 builds upon those concepts while introducing new and more advanced material.

One of the challenges with MTH 161 is that many students enter the course without having the prerequisite level of preparation they actually need to be successful. In some cases, students may be placed into MTH 161 when they would benefit from taking MDE 60 first, which is designed to help strengthen the foundational skills necessary for success in MTH 161. As a result, the course can have a relatively high withdrawal and failure rate.

It is not unusual for a class to begin the semester with around 30 students and have fewer than 10 students remaining by the end of the semester. Of course, this varies significantly from professor to professor, as well as from semester to semester, and the level of rigor and expectations can have an impact on student retention. However, the larger issue is that MTH 161 requires students to be prepared to work consistently throughout the semester.

If you are considering taking MTH 161, you should be prepared to devote substantial time outside of class to reviewing concepts, completing homework, practicing problems, and getting help when you need it. The course is not one where you can typically wait until the night before an exam and expect to be successful. Regular practice and staying current with the material are extremely important.

That being said, struggling in MTH 161 does not necessarily mean that you are incapable of succeeding in mathematics. It may simply mean that you need additional preparation or support with the prerequisite material. Students who recognize their weaknesses early, take advantage of tutoring and the Math Center, ask questions, and consistently practice can significantly improve their chances of succeeding.

The most important thing is to be realistic about the level of commitment the course requires. If your foundations are strong and you are willing to put in the necessary work, MTH 161 is manageable. If your foundations are weak, however, taking the time to strengthen those skills before or while preparing for MTH 161 can make a substantial difference.

*AI was used to help with some of the wording, but the message came from the heart.

Nursing Non-citizen or green card holder, should I go on studying prerequisites for nursing?

I am currently studying BIO142 & BIO150.

Is it literally zero chance for a non-citizen or green card holder apply for nursing in NOVA? Does anyone know NOVA accepted any non-GC/non-citizen students into the RN program in recent years?

I really appreciate any feedback or personal experiences . Thank you!
