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 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!
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.
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.
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
