Economics and Financial Management/Accounting: is it mandatory to attend the lectures for the courses?

I'm a part time student. Due to some life changes, I am really only able to go to campus once a week. Besides BU111, how doable is it to attend only the tutorials/seminars/labs for these courses and not the lectures and be successful in the program?

How long does it take for transfer credits to be processed?

I submitted my official transcript from my other university for transfer credits and it's been about a week. I'm just wondering how long it usually takes, since I'm waiting to choose my upper year courses that require prerequisite courses that were already completed at my other university. Thanks!

Should I take the risk and finish my degree in Psychology and aim for IO Psychology, or should I switch to Health Sciences?

I'm 29 years old, returning to school to finish my degree after many many years. My original major was Psychology. I kept switching majors and eventually withdrew from the university to take some time to figure out my path instead of wasting more time and money.

Since then, I've been working as a flight attendant. I'm getting paid decent and I have really good seniority at my airline and can pretty much choose any schedule I want. I'm usually scheduled about 15 days a month, and I can easily pick up more overtime if I want to make more money, or easily drop my shifts if I want time off. Because of this, I am able to go back to school and work towards a second career. While I feel content with flying, there are some aspects about my job that I'm growing really tired about, and I don't see myself doing this forever as my main career, so I definitely want to finish school and pivot into something else, or keep flying as a side part-time job.

I'm debating if I should finish my degree in Psychology, or switch to Health Sciences. The Psychology route seems more research-based and requires a thesis, whereas the degree in Health Sciences at my school seems much more practical and hands-on.

Really the field I'm mostly interested in for Psychology is IO, but I don't know if it's worth taking the risk and committing to and putting all efforts into the Psychology degree and trying to get into grad school (if I were to even get in, I'm worried that if I don't, then I'm screwed). I'm wondering if it would be worth leaving my flying job for a career in IO Psychology, or if jobs in the IO Psychology field would be flexible at all to balance both if at all. I would have to aim for a high GPA, get a lot of research experience and do a thesis, etc.

If I were to commit to Health Sciences instead, many careers in healthcare are very flexible and I'd be able to balance both flying and in healthcare, or even leave flying completely for it. Healthcare is also very diverse and I could go many routes with it, and it seems like it's in high demand and can lead to a very good career in the long term. It requires commitment as well, but moreso a high GPA and placement.

I'd like to hear your opinions, thank you :)

[CAN] Why do people often associate Psychology only with Clinical Psychology and becoming a therapist?

Whenever I inquire about the study of psychology in university, it seems to always be associated with the aim of becoming a therapist and mental health.

I see it here on Reddit, whenever I ask people IRL, even ChatGPT. For example, I asked ChatGPT that I'm considering studying psychology, more specifically in areas such as Industrial-Organizational and Human Factors, and ChatGPT responded something along the lines of "Just want to make sure you are aware that this is NOT a therapist route if that's what you're looking to do, if so, you should consider clinical...", like what, I never said I wanted to become a therapist...?

Even IRL on online, whenever people bring up that they are studying psychology, people seem to assume they want to become a therapist or to work in areas involving mental health and to help people and their wellbeing... there's other fields, like UX/tech, corporate, law, pharma, etc...

Psychology is huge with so many different subfields, like Cognitive, Social, Personality, Behavioural, Neuroscience, Clinical, etc... So why is it that it's generally assumed that psychology = clinical, therapy, mental health, psychopathology, etc...?

Why doesn't the Samsung keyboard autocorrect typos, despite the corrected words appearing on the suggestion bar?

The suggestion bar shows the correct word. Why doesn't Samsung autocorrect to it? All my settings are turned on properly that I have checked, predictive text, auto-replace, everything. It still doesn't replace. It's super obvious typos too. For example, I just typed "keyboad", what ELSE could the word have been besides "keyboard"? The suggestion bar even suggests "keyboard"... so why not... autocorrect it? If the suggestion bar shows the corrected wording, it's not that it doesn't know, it knows.

Do the developers on the Samsung side not test the keyboard? I find it completely unbelievable that they all tested the keyboard and thought it was fine?

I tried SwiftKey and Gboard and they suck too for their own reasons. I'm honestly coming to the point of trading my Z Fold 7 in and go back to iPhone.

Just started the show... does Nathan get better? And his father Dan?

I just started the show on S1. Nathan seems like the biggest POS, one thing after another just makes his character look worse and worse to the point I'm starting to believe even if he becomes a better person later in the show for whatever reason, his character and actions (so far in S1) wouldn't be redeemable. I went to school with people similar to him back in the day, and even though they've become a "better person", lots of us still view them as how much of a POS they were for going too far with the way they treated and bullied others back then. Some people I can understand, but the way Nathan treats Peyton and Lucas and even his own friends doesn't seem forgivable.

And of course, the reason Nathan is the way he is, is because his/Lucas's father Dan, who's even MORE of a POS.

I'm wondering, do they actually become better people later in the show to the point you would forgive them for their actions?

The Killer Anna (The Medic Droid) and Martinis and Mixed Feelings (The Millionaires) needs to be on Spotify. Can anyone reach out to them?

Most of their songs are on Spotify... except The Killer Anna! And Martinis and Mixed Feelings (the original)! Their best songs! I loved them so much back in high school.

Can someone please reach out to them and ask them if they can bring it onto Spotify? They brought back their other older songs... except for these ones... :(

I wish Who Wants To Be A Millionaire would release a PC/Console game similar to the 1999-2001 PC/PS1 versions, they felt much darker and intense

I'm talking the one in this video: https://youtu.be/JL-Wg71So0U?si=lz3GFe9obclvx2c7

There were 3 versions (1st edition, 2nd edition, 3rd edition) that were released on PC/Playstation 1 back in 1999-2001. All editions were basically the same thing, just had different questions.

These versions felt much darker (ChatGPT described the game having a "sinister" feeling), and quite honestly it was kind of scary playing them in a way. For those who have played this particular version back in the day, I'm sure you would know exactly what I'm talking about. My siblings growing up said the same thing.

The phone-a-friend from the 1999-2001 versions actually had real people sharing their story or insights, which allows you to hear how confident they are in their answer (and sometimes, they are actually wrong). The modern versions nowadays instead just shows an on-screen text "The answer is A. I am 75% sure!".

I also feel like the on-screen characters ruin it. The old 1999-2001 versions was just a dark screen, with the question and choices, the lifelines, the timer, and the background music...

The higher questions you got, especially past the 5th and 10th questions, the music gets darker and the pauses get longer when you select an answer before you either get the right answer or you hear the losing theme blasting through your speakers... The worst is when you get to the final question, this is playing in the background: https://youtu.be/cN1DEXYBEjE?si=sCqK2kyEO80u9kfB, you use your phone-a-friend and audience lifelines and they give you the WRONG answer while sounding so confident, you get the "is that your final answer?" from Regis Philbin... a 1 minute pause and the music stops playing... total silence... and then you hear this blasting through your speakers: https://youtu.be/0CKnqQa40tE?si=HZMGuqytfPBXuNWg (this happened to me when I played this when I was like 8 years old back, and I actually cried because it was so scary).

Anyone else hope they will ever create another WWTBAM game similar to the old 1999-2001 versions? It just felt so much more anxiety-inducing, which made the game so much more effective.

Does anyone else have parents who just don't seem to understand how our flying scheduling works and seem to always question them?

I like to bid for and pick up multiday pairings (usually 5 days). The reason being is that I have a far commute, so I'd rather be able to commute only a few times a month and get all my hours in. I also like the per diem. Most importantly, it allows me to get a bunch of days off in a row. Sometimes even up to 2 weeks.

At my airline, we get scheduled a guarantee of 75 hours a month, but I pick up to 110-120, which still leaves me lots of days off and sometimes an entire week off. I can't even pick up past 120 because that's our max limit. Sometimes we work up to 12+ hours a day.

My mom is old. She thinks I should be working 5 days a week. No matter how much I try to explain to her how scheduling works in aviation, she doesn't understand. If I get a week off, she will question me thinking I did something wrong at work and that I'm gonna get fired, or that I'm just calling in sick and staying home and not working. I just flew back to back for the past 2 weeks, and I finally got a whole week off. She is now upset with me, thinking I'm fired.

Sometimes I'll get scheduled or pick up a quick single day turn, 2 hours there, 2 hours back. She thinks management is "cutting my hours" for not giving me a 8+ hour shift. Even the single day turns that are 5 hours there, 5 hours back, tend to be super senior at my airline, yet she thinks me getting those pairings are having my "hours cut". Even though everything is seniority based anyway, and no matter how much I explain this to her, she believes management got their eye on me specifically out of the 1000+ of flight attendants at my airline.

This is a bit of a rant, I'm just exhausted. But is anyone else dealing with something similar here?

What's the deal with the Shaman water totem quest on the Horde side?

Taking courses with restrictions, then transferring into the major with that restriction afterwards

I have a question. Some courses on the timetable states that some course sections are restricted to certain majors/cannot be enrolled in certain majors.

Would it be an issue if I'm not declared a certain major, register for a course section that states "cannot be in enrolled in (major)", and then transfer into the major afterwards?
