Curious how hard it is to get into athabasca’s masters of counseling program. Google summary says it’s about 12%, which is worrisome. I have a 3.0 gpa and my volunteer hours. Just curious what some of your experiences were with applying. Thnx!
Does anyone know how many bathroom breaks we are allowed during our exams? I woke up with a UTI and I’d rather not reschedule my exam. My exam is tonight through ProctorU.
I'm considering finishing my accounting degree with Athabasca transferring from NAIT. I completed NAIT's accounting diploma (last year done all online so I'm used to this environment already). Is it possible to accelerate the time to complete the BCommPD pathway faster than two years or would it be recommended to take two years to finish. Is it possible to finish one or two courses in a month?
I know Athabasca is a "study at your own pace" university, but I wanted current or past students thoughts on this.
Are there any online students at Athabasca University that are finding success in this method of post-secondary education? I'm taking some courses online with the intention of obtaining a Bachelor of Science, Computing and Information Systems Major or at least the corresponding University Certificate. However, I'm getting my ass kicked. I'm not a genius by any means, but I have previous experience with university courses, technical machine and computer experience through work, and training in other disciplines (pilots license). I understand that the majority of learning is self taught through this method via textbook and course materials, however, I have also found expectations from tutors to be fleeting and grading to be ambiguous. I genuinely work hard on all my assignments and generally get decent grades (80-90%) but some of them come up 60's or even 40's out of the blue with an accusation of having my work be AI generated. It's frustrating to say the least. My most recent heartbreak comes from failing my Intro Python Programming course because I was a few marks away from passing the final exam with no feedback. I have previous experience with Python, got great grades on all the assignments, and failed the course with a final grade somewhere in the 70's because I didn't pass the final exam. I understand the necessity to combat students who rely on AI to generate all the projects and assignments, but I also feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle here. Does anybody have any advice for success in these courses taken in the online format? For reference, ENGL255 and COMP218 have been the courses that are breaking my spirit. I'm hoping that I have a better experience with later computer science courses as I'm more or less committed to this process at this point. Has anyone climbed the Computing and Information Systems mountain with any wise words to share?
How long did it take to come?
I'm going to be doing this for biol 235. If it takes only 1 or 2 business days, I can reschedule my exams for later rather than sooner.
Please let me know 🙏🙏
Thoughts? I'm not in a degree program, just trying to boost my transcript for grad school admissions. I'm a good writer and not great at math, although I still wouldn't want an insanely writing heavy course.
Is sharing Quizlet flashcard stacks considered cheating?
Cuz I have a whole bunch of them and I spent a lot of time making them and I would love to share them.
Is that a thing that we could do on here? Or no?
I’m looking to take comp 210 as a visiting student with athabasca. I’m just wondering if I take this course typically how long after the completion of the course is the final grade uploaded to my transcript? I missed the date to sign up for the September start date so I will have to start in October. However I am applying to transfer programs and want this on my transcript as a gpa booster and applications open in October. I’ve heard this is a very easy class and I’m hoping to complete it quickly so I can have it count in my transfer gpa. Thanks!
Does anyone know the degree to which you have to show your work for the midterm? Also, do you have to submit your work/scrap paper at the end of the test to the proctor?
Any insight is helpful. Thank you in advance.
Hey everyone,
My course date ends on Aug 31st. I have one assignment left of one of my classes.
To mark my course as completed, do I need to have the assignment submitted & graded by the 31st? Or for example, submit on the 31st & still be okay?
Thanks so much. Just gauging the time frame I have along with my final exams.
Hello. I am considering taking PHIL 252 as a GPA booster. Can anyone who as already taken or is currently taking this course let me know if this is a good idea? Are the assignments hard? Are there rubrics for the assignments? How many attempts do we get on the quizzes? Thanks!
Emailed professor on August 8 about the assignment.
hey! i’m currently enrolled in psyc 406: intro to counseling theories and im wanting to write the midterm today, has anyone done it before? any tips? im thinking just having my notes and textbook open and hoping for the best
looking to see if someone can give me some idea on what the four long questions are? makes me anxioue
i heard the exam are hard
Has this ever happened to anyone else? How long does it usually take to resolve?
Does anyone have any tips for the midterm? There is so much information to remember, I’m nervous. Thank you!!
After taking ENGL255 I've become pretty paranoid regarding references. I was told by my tutor that everything we say in a research essay has to be supported by evidence/reference.
Because of that, I feel that my research essays are becoming puzzles made of hundred of pieces where literally (I really mean literally) each paragraph has at least one reference. I'm writing an assignment now and in the first 2,000 words I have 35 in-text references. That means a reference for every 57 words (about 4 lines of text). This is especially frustrating when I am quoting the same article over and over (although not continuously, so I must reference it again!)
Is this normal? Does this happen to anybody else? These are the first courses I take at Univ level that involve so much writing, so I am not 100% sure. I've done this in previous courses and always got A+/A so I guess it is what they expect from us? It's so exhausting though...🥴🫠
Thanks!
I know for the midterm we can have one double sided cheat sheet, however the final is way more units? how are we supposed to fit 7 units worth of info in one double sided paper
