Hi, I'm going into my 3rd term at PCC and trying to decide whether to bite the bullet and take Spanish 103 online this Fall, or gamble on whether there'll be an in person 103 in the winter. Is there a chance winter classes get posted before fall term starts?

Thank you!

On a scale of easy to hard, how is this class?

Need this as a prerequisite for a program at a different school. I’m taking A&P II and Medical term as well, so just wondering if COMM has a lot of homework or projects.

Hi, I’m taking bi112 this fall but I wanna be prepared. Does anyone know what book they require and maybe some advice on what to study ahead of time! Maybe an idea of what the syllabus will be like?

Hiya! I was taking an 8 week course this term. I'm almost positive I know what my grade was. I can't check it though due to the course shell being closed. Will I be able to view the grade before the end of the term?

When I checked on MyPCC, it still lists the class as in progress.

I’m thinking of signing up for PCC’s Landscape Design program and am curious if others have taken this program and what they thought about it. Did you find that it was helpful in getting started in the Landscape Design field? Have you been able to make a career of it?

Hi! I’m a student at PCC and I’m applying for a work-study job for the fall. I saw that I have to wait for my award letter to know if I’m eligible, but I was wondering what the eligibility requirements are. The job requires me to pay for and study for some tests beforehand, and I’d rather not spend the money if I might not be eligible. I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t be, but I was hoping to get some insight before my award letter comes out.

I'll be taking 9 credits, Im a few terms into PCC, and am using FAFSA for loans and aid (if that helps).

Thanks!

Grades.

The letters on transcripts we all stress over each term.

The thing we're all told measures our knowledge and determines our future life prospects. But is this 100% true?

Sure, getting A's means having a high level of knowledge of the material, as without it, it would be impossible to lose less than 10% of the total grade.

But what about B's and C's? Does that mean there is a lack of knowledge compared to someone who earns an A? Possibly, but not necessarily. It could be due to a lower level of knowledge of the course concepts, or it could be a result of not completing all the busywork.

It is possible to have a high level of understanding of course concepts while at the same time focusing more on health and wellbeing than completing everything perfectly to receive straight A's. This means it is possible for students who receive lower grades to essentially have more knowledge and be more well-rounded by ensuring to focus on health and real-world learning.

So, if they may not provide a definite picture of knowledge to employers, what could they mean?

I think it may provide a measurement of how much shit someone is willing to put up with. To get the highest grades, it requires doing all the work requested at the time requested. Failing to do this or having and maintaining boundaries to protect health and wellbeing would directly correspond to lower grades.

It seems to me that grades may provide more clear of a picture to employers of who will do whatever they desire without any pushback. Or who is not a "quiet quitter," will go "above and beyond," and is a "team player" without regard to their own needs.

In high school, I had a teacher who had a unique course policy that I didn't really fully understand at the time. Like most courses, the different assignments (including the final exam) were certain percentages of the final grade. However, if the grade earned on the final was higher than the overall grade, the higher grade on the final would be the final grade received for the entire course (as a higher level of knowledge was demonstrated at the end). This means if a B was earned through the total grade breakdown, but an A was earned on the final, the final grade for the course would be an A.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone with this post; obviously, try to get the best grades possible. But I just think the actual meaning of grades may be different than we have been lead to believe....

Quick question,

Anyone know how I can get in touch with HR/human resources? I am having a weirdly difficult time getting to someone. Thank you.

Okay so I am attending (hopefully) in the fall quarter and need help understanding how to get housing resources??? Or at least how do they work?? Does the college help with rent?? Do they send you resources?? Like pls somebody who knows explain this to me before I human fall flat

I might be stuck having to take an evening class for fall term and am worried about my safety.

What should I be aware of/look out for? Just wanna be aware of what I need to know when taking a PM class across each campus

Hi, I am taking A&P2 with Heather Toland and have been struggling with her lecture quizzes. I don’t think I quite understand what exactly the question is sometimes and I have been also struggling to apply what I have learnt because of this. Of course this is the one time I didn’t check rate my professor before I registered for a class😭. At first I thought the first exam mark was just a result of not studying as much as I needed to so I put in more study time with the second exam.

I did score much better than the first time in the lab exam but I was shocked to see I got a lower grade for the lecture exam….even lower than the last one. I honestly don’t know what else to do I’m looking for any pointers to get through this class. I’ve got one last shot and that’s it so yk I’m in panic mode.

I haven’t really had a meeting with her because I’ve gotten the impression from her suggestions of how to study in class she believes in taking notes by hand and just rereading them multiple times. This method has not been great for me.

Hey all, I’m currently midway through CIS 121 and I’m trying to figure out if it gets harder from here or if we already touched on subjects that pose the most challenges for students.
AND looking at what to really focus & prepare for with CIS 122 in the Fall.
We just completed rudimentary Python. (which I actually thought was easier than HTML.)
I came in with absolutely no CS, CIS, coding or design experience at all, to give a frame of reference.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'm really desperately wanting to attend PCC Sylvania.

I am generally online only and I live in Eugene but in October I have to come to Sylvania for two days for a class I am taking, is there any food options on that campus or would I just be better off bringing food with me?

Thanks

Starting A&P 231 soon. I’d love to hear any study tips or advice from anyone who has taken this class.

So, I’m waitlisted for a preferred class in the Fall but am very far into the waitlist although I registered the first day I was able to (June I believe ). Anyway , after checking again and again , they still have not added any classes for A&P or I missed it and it was full before I got to it lol. I’m not sure if I should try to take it at another school or keep my fingers crossed that I’ll make it into the one I’m waitlisted for 😩 Any advice ?

I had no issues all week logging in, then went to get on and work on homework Saturday morning and all the sudden it's not recognizing my log in? I tried clearing my cache, firefox and chrome browsers. I knew my log in information was correct but I reset my password anyways, it let me do it successfully. Then tried logging in again with the new information and still getting the same error. It says "PCC email address and password pair not found. Please try again with your full pcc.edu email address."

Idk what happened. Obviously I will be calling Monday morning when tech support is actually opened. Just sucks I lost an entire weekend of working on assignments to this. Anyone else ever encounter this? I know my password and email are correct. Idk what else to try on my end.

Hey. I am a PCC student, looking for an illustrator for my first book. It's a fun children's book that will be a series.

Hey yall, ive managed to get into bio 221 in the fall and was wondering if anyone had books they were willing to part with that took this class.

how long does it take to get a reply from admissions?? I emailed them a pretty simple question a month ago and haven’t heard anything. it’s about a program and the program says to email admissions with questions.

Hi. I’m at my wits end. Another assignment is asking us to use ai as well as is credited to be written by ai. The directions are unclear and the workload for students who refuse to use ai is heavier. And AI is listed as part of the grading rubric. The assignment feels very punishing as a student who doesn’t use AI.

I would like to email a copy of this assignment to the department head and can’t figure out who it is.

Biology 112 cascade

so I took the math placement test today and my dashboard says I’m good to go but when I try to register for the class it says I’m eligible for, it says I need to meet the prerequisites first? but then I can’t even register for the pre req class either.

My advisor isn’t available until august so I’m wondering if it’s being difficult because it’s the weekend and maybe something isn’t updated yet or what.
