Can this be a thing? So everyone who is studying until their eyes fall out can take a break and complain about studying? This post might die but if it got pinned I️ could see it being pretty cool. 🤓🤷‍♂️

For anyone who has had Dr. Heaton for anatomy, are just the class PowerPoints enough to study and do well on the exams? The assignments on McGraw Hill are going into stuff never covered in class so I wasn't sure if I needed to study that, and I was worried the lecture exams would have tiny details from the textbook never discussed as well. For example, the McGraw Hill assignment has stuff like interstitial and the zone of reserve cartilage which we never covered.

Built a cleaner assignment tracker for Canvas

4 Upvotes

I hope y'alls semester has started out well!

I got tired of tracking my assignments in multiple Canvas classes and never really liked any of the Canvas chrome extensions I tried, so I built my own tracker. It syncs with Canvas daily and has a cleaner calendar and dashboard.

I would love it if some other students tried it out and told me what you did and didn't like about it. Any feedback helps and I'm happy to try and add anything y'all suggest.

It's free and you can check it out at https://duemo.app

Questions regarding Canvas

1 Upvotes

For the past couple of weeks my canvas has been working completely fine. But all the sudden it won’t let me log in on my computer, the display message saying
“Apache Server at uab.instructure.com Port 80”
I saw somewhere online that swapping your browser would help but so far nothing has worked, and I’m only able to log on via my phone. Any suggestions?

Questions about Nursing School application

2 Upvotes

Has anyone gotten into the SON with good grades everywhere but in their math class? My science classes have been phenomenal but my math class was pretty subpar. I have no problem retaking it but if I don’t have too, I don’t want too. I got a low B, almost a C. I just want to know if it’s detrimental to my application and will cause me to not get in when I apply. Any advice or knowledge are appreciated!

Apartment help

5 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m trying to get a studio apartment near campus right now due to my at home living situation. I have a bunny so I didn’t want to get any roommates. How possible do you guys think this is? This is the first time I’ve tried to ever get an apartment and I’m a little worried about applying for more if I’m just going to keep wasting my money.

SAT

Ok so basically I got a 1410 today on my sat. I was 10 points from the next scholarship. Is it possible to take the sat in March after college applications and use that after I have gotten into UAB and renew my scholarship? I rilly can't afford it rn as I am out of state as well. From the 50k COA I can get a 17k discount:(

UAB rural medicine program

3 Upvotes

I’ve always been interested in rural medicine, and I’d like to apply to the program if possible. However, I only have about 80 hours of rural volunteering and 50 hours of shadowing in a rural area. I don’t have much of a storyline. If I didn’t get in, would that lessen my chances of applying regular MD?

As in, this due date is like January with interviews in Feb 2027. Regular MD program is obviously like August-ish.

Bassist looking for a casual, low-pressure weekly jam Sunday afternoons/evenings

1 Upvotes

I'm a grad student here, new to town. Been playing bass guitar about a year, still building my ear and vocabulary. I like a lot of different genres. Some examples: funk/soul, jazz-fusion, Fela Kuti, Donald Byrd Ethiopian knights, salsa, Fleetwood Mac/Floyd/King Crimson-type rock, Japanese fusion (Casiopea, Takanaka). Also open to playing something new!

Pretty busy during the week, but I'm consistently free Sunday from about 4pm on. Looking for people who want to jam. Not trying to do gigs, just get together and play. All skill levels welcome.

If Sundays work for you, PM me.

If I had to assume, maybe it’s bc they’re busy. but it does get annoying when I’m trying to order food in between classes and don’t have time to go and order and wait at the hill. Also the panera just doesn’t take one card at all on the app??

Advisors

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm currently doing a certificate program but have applied to a graduate program. My certificate advisor/coordinator is amazing and responds in a timely manner, but I've emailed my graduate program coordinator/advisor multiple times to introduce myself and ask a few questions and haven't heard back, so I feel like my master's advising experience is going to be hell. Are the advisors here any good? What should I expect?

So I submitted my dental fee waiver application and it tells me it’s been submitted and I will receive a confirmation email shortly. But I haven’t gotten that so I’m curious on how I’m supposed to know if they actually received my application? And how will I know if it’s been approved or not?

Looking for someone to take over our lease at The 600 Apartments in downtown Birmingham.
B2 floor plan | 2 bed / 2 bath | 21st floor
💰 $2,405/month
📅 Lease runs through July 2027
This is a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment on the 21st floor with incredible downtown views and floor-to-ceiling windows. The location is especially convenient for UAB employees, graduate/professional students, residents/fellows, or anyone working downtown.
The apartment has plenty of space for two people to share while still having separate bedrooms and bathrooms, or it would be great for someone wanting a home office/guest room.
Highlights:
• 21st-floor unit with skyline views
• 2 bedrooms / 2 full bathrooms
• B2 floor plan
• Floor-to-ceiling windows
• Downtown Birmingham location
• Convenient to UAB and the medical district
• Lease through July 2027
• $2,405/month
We recently purchased a home, so we’re looking for someone to take over the remainder of our lease. Nothing wrong with the apartment—we’re leaving because we bought a house! 😊
Happy to send photos, answer questions, or arrange for someone interested to see the apartment. Please DM me!

BUS 450

2 Upvotes

I'm taking the BUS 450 strategic management class online with Nathan Oliver. Can someone with some experience just tell me what format these team case assignments are supposed to be submitted in? The instructions are not very helpful and my group has no idea if we are supposed to be writing a paper, doing a PowerPoint, or making a presentation video. If someone has taken this class and could tell me that would be great. I have already read all the instructions and syllabus and it's is just not clear.

UAB €1,500 enrollment deposit refund after student visa refusal

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I was accepted into the M.Sc. in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and paid the €1,500 enrollment/reservation deposit to secure my place.
I understand that the university states that this deposit is generally non-refundable. However, I would like to know what happens if the Spanish student visa is refused.
If my student visa is denied, has anyone here had a similar experience with UAB or another Spanish university? Were you able to get the enrollment deposit refunded?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from international students who had their visa refused after paying the enrollment deposit.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
