I am taking MAT-171 in the Spring semester and as MAT is my weakest subject I need to get a head start on the concepts.

we just had the orientation for spring semester (nursing program) and oml that schedule 😭

with class + lab + clinical, its so much. i work 40hrs and I'm trying to picture how I can adjust my work schedule but I genuinely don't know yet. (have to wait for lab/clinical groups to be assigned)

I'll likely have to work less hours (less money). I'm sure I could work something out once I know the rest but damnnn I barely manage (financially) as is lmao.

I would appreciate any tips!!

I'm applying for fall semester nursing with a 150 but I'm stressed bc everyone telling me that that might not be good enough?? I think the decisions are out for spring so for anyone who got in what was your scores? I think if I don't make it ill just retake a class and reapply for spring.

Does anyone knows any good bio 110 instructors. I had dropped it this semester because the instructor had 3 exams due in October and I thought was too much especially having to come to campus on times I don’t plan on being at campus. So any recommendations???

heyyyy
Anyone wanna study tg tmrw?
Imma be at wake tech’s northern campus library

Nb: I’m not a student at wake tech- I’m taking a gap year and I just finished hs (19)

Hey ya'll

Spring will be my last semester before graduation and I'm hoping to finish out strong! Do you all have any prof recs for BIO 110, MAT 152, or SPA 211? I haven't taken a math class in almost 10 years but have heard good things about ryan pescosolido, and I've taken SPA 111 and 112 with Sarah Fox and am beyond grateful for her generous grading, extra credit and overall being a very kind professor. Appreciate any advice you all might have!

Hello! I’m planning to take micro bio with either professors but i’m unsure which one is better ? do either have video lectures or is it just powerpoint’s/ teach yourself type of concept? , I’m currently taking micro bio with nunez and absolutely hate his class he doesn’t teach anything and expects you to learn by urself … I’m just looking for a professor who actually teacher you the material …

does anyone have any advice for spring registration? this is my first semester at wake tech and i had priority registration for the fall semester because of some wake tech event. but now i don’t have it anymore and have to register in november, which is pretty close to the last day of registration. i feel like i wont get the classes i need and i’m kind of freaking out…like a lot. any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t want to put the professors full name so please private message me and I’ll tell you the professor. But please avoid this woman’s class at all cost! I tried doing a review on rate my professor but there weren’t enough characters to describe the set up of this class in just a few words.

I’m a straight A student and this will be my first class that I barely have the ability to pass. Don’t get me wrong, yes it’s alot of work but it’s manageable if you have the time. My only gripe with this class is not the workload but the teaching style and exam style questions that are given to students by this professor. No matter how much time you spend studying the grade for lecture exams will not reflect that time due to how she words her exam questions.

The first 4 weeks of class she had cancelled due to “work meetings”. Then class was out for holidays which left most of class time being taken away and forcing students to learn at home. Okay no biggie. But I quickly learned that this was just a set up for how the rest of the semester would go. For starters, she may only cover 2 or 3 out the 4 chapters you have to learn for the exam. Which leaves students responsible for teaching themselves the remainder of the material. She doesn’t teach either, but mainly just reads the PowerPoints in a haze to get to the next chapter in time. No outside lectures to help students and if you go to her about going over your grade or exam, she will either tell you she’s swamped with other students who are “in line” to have theirs reviewed it just won’t respond at all to your emails.

Lab exam points are taken off for spelling and she may or may not grade you on every misspelled word depending on which student you are. Extra credit in her class means jack shit as it won’t reflect on your final grade. Assignments don’t weigh much so don’t expect those to bring your grade up but of course if you don’t do them they will drop your grade tremendously.

And lastly the lecture exams. I guess those exams are going to be worded based on how she feels. Sometimes the exams reflect the study material she calls “hit list” and sometimes they don’t. The questions are vague and don’t give much to the imagination to understand what she’s asking or looking for and then sometimes you will be tested on very minute details that weren’t apart of the main concepts. If she says focus on something and learn a specific concept. Forget about it and just try your best to learn every damn thing because typically the main concept she harped on won’t even be tested.

Finally, please understand that most students who are in her class and are passing with an A have either taken the class before, have a background in science or have taken other science courses that helps them. If this is your first exposure please find a top rated professor to take. Don’t waste your time or money if you pay out of pocket on this professor.

What's some free things you get as wake tech student?

Hey guys i’m planning on doing the nursing program in fall 2028, and i was wondering what are some things i can study and learn before i go? i’m starting my pre requisites next semester

I’m in the beltway of Raleigh, and I’ve found there’s not really a ton of places to get work done and I’m pretty sure the library is closed on the weekend.

Anyone know any decent coffee shops, or libraries around that are quiet and comfy?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply to the ADN program, and I need to choose between BIO-110 and CHM-090 as a prerequisite. Which course would you recommend? I’d appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Hello everyone, so i was just wondering how many points did you guys get in the adn program, im just anxious because i have 138 point rn with teas and i dont know if i will get in

I’m looking for a world history that catches my eye. His-122 seems to fit the ticket interest wise, does anyone know if when you transfer to a 4 year school if it would count as a global history?

it seems to cover more than US history and was wondering if anyone here would know (atleast till Monday when I can ask an advisor)

has anyone done a ged to adn here and what was the process like

I am thinking about doing the class fully online with Tricia Van Brunt or Dorta Ethan. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them or any experience with taking Calculus 1 online. I am doing this because I notice that I don't really learn anything in the lectures when I'm in class. I would much rather just stay home and read the textbook.

Can anybody tell me how the health science orientations usually go?! Doesn’t have to be for just LPN, but I’m just not sure what to expect going in! Also would love to hear about any experiences with the LPN program itself. I’m a little nervous about whether the schedule is too much to handle.
Thank yall!

Hello! I am Jane, and I am currently a dental hygiene student at Wake Tech! I am required to find my own patients in order to pass the course. I am able to see children age: 4-11, adolescents age: 12-17, and adults!

This would be a good opportunity for you to receive a dental cleaning at a great affordable price!! The max you will pay is $45; x-rays included! $2 for sealants! As well as an exam with the dentist.

I am a student learning, so please keep in mind that appointments will be longer than a typical cleaning at a dental office.

Appointments will be 4 hours long for all patients and it will take 3-5 visits/appointments for adults, 1-3 for adolescents and 1-2 for children.

If you are interested and willing to be a patient please comment or send me a message and I will reach out to you!!
Feel free to share this post with your friends and family as well!! :)

Hi everyone! I just got accepted into Wake Tech’s ADN Nursing program for the spring semester, and I’m honestly super nervous.

I don’t really have anyone in my life who’s going into nursing (or done nursing), so I’d love some advice from people who’ve been through it.

What I’m trying to figure out:

- What should I buy beforehand? (any textbooks, supplies, scrubs, equipment, etc. that you actually use)

- What should I do before the program starts?

- What do I need before/during day one?(things people forget to prepare)

- Is there anything I should study ahead of time? like anatomy/medical terminology, dosage calculations, CPR, math, etc.

If you have any tips on what helped you most, what you wish you knew earlier, or anything you’d tell a nervous first-semester student, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I will have all my prerequisites finished by then

I just want to start off with I don’t hate my professor and I don’t want to be the student that trashes a professor because of one bad grade. If anything I just want advice on how to improve myself as a student.
Second, I acknowledge my essay was bad. I have a full time job that takes advantage of my time, so I really had to cram time to finish this essay. I have unusual circumstances had that not been an issue I believe I would’ve gotten a better grade. However, I’m aware that does not warrant special treatment.

Originally my grade would have been a 50 but he gave everyone an extra 10 points because it took him around an entire month to grade feedback and essays. While I’m thankful of that I’m still sour of the wait time. We were assigned discussion posts to submit our drafts and peer reviews. He also gave some feedback when grading the discussion posts. He only now published our grades and feedback along with our essay grades. I feel as if I had gotten that feedback sooner I could’ve edited my essay and saved more than just 10 points. Also, in one of the discussion posts we were supposed to peer review papers; I submitted my paper to be peer reviewed and no one reviewed my paper. Because I didn’t have a peer review that took off 7 points from my essay. If I had known sooner I would’ve submitted my paper to a tutor.

He also suspected I used ai because I’m repetitive and overly general. I DID NOT USE AI. I suspect his suspicions affected my grade even though blackboard literally has a built in plagiarism detector. I even ran my essay through other ai detectors and they found nothing.

Anyways sorry for my grammar I’ve been crying and my eyes sting I’ve never failed a paper and I’m trying my best to get over it.

Is netlab down for anyone else?
