Grade distribution website

Who’s old enough to remember they used to have a grade disbursement website that shows which teacher gives out how many As Bs Cs Ds?

I was at UMBC in 2006-2010 there used to be a website that shows this information, then we will know which professors gives out easy A and which professors will give us a harder time and give out more Cs

Why all of this? 😭 I don't even set my foot in any athletic and recreation thing.

We are getting charged 441 per semester to engage around campus 😭?

762 for a gym that I can't even find time to use 😭? I think the machines are outdated too.

What more? Get charged to breath? Right, the 441 engaging fee.

Am I imagining this or did they just edit the transportation and parking fee with just transportation fee and kept the price as it is? I saw the busses, and they need fixing, many need oil change and even the airbags aren't working.

I can't justify the gym 😡, the rest can be justified, but the gym feels like it can never be justified when other places like planet fitness can hit you with less than 500 per year.

So why do Faculty and Staff have to pay for UMBC Transit now?

When I first interviewed Student Affairs advertised their free busses as a staff benefit. Fast forward years later 12 months of a 31 day pass costs more than half my COLA.

As state employees we receive local link, city link, Subway, Light rail and some MTA commuter busses for free. Anyone who can’t afford the new UMBC Transit fares should reach out to receive their State Employee ID and utilize other methods to get to work.

Chances for me to get in UMBC

Throughout high school, I have maintained a 3.6 GPA while challenging myself with a rigorous coursework load, including AP Calculus, AP Economics, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Computer Science A, AP World History, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C. Beyond the classroom, I have held leadership roles as President of several CS clubs, competed in hackathons, and built various technical projects. Additionally, I conducted research with a University of Maryland professor focusing on Machine Learning and Computer Science applications in Poker, resulting in a co-authored research paper.

I am also getting a Letter of Rec from CSA/CSP teacher and English Teacher and Cousnler and Research Professor at UMD for CS

I am honestly wanna go to UMD but I dont think its possible there what are my chances in UMBC as a rising senior

If you accepted your aid and its pending dont freak out

Holy moly if yall see your aid as pending to be disbursed. Meaning you accepted your aid and it shows in your myumbc just pay the aid minus the bill by August 20th. Also, you didn't here this from me but even if you don't pay exactly on August 20th you got a couple days before late fees are added to your account.

Jobs near campus?

I'm an upcoming freshman at umbc, and I waited a little too long to apply for on-campus jobs. I've already messaged Oca Mocha, and they said that I might take a while to hear back. What other places near umbc hire part time student employees? I don't have a car, so it would need to be within walking distance or have some kind of public transportation to get there.

Thanks!

Is it over for me if I fail a class?

I’m taking a summer prerequisite for the fall and I am 1.01% away from passing and am banking on my final project to get me to passing. I have never failed a class before so I don’t know what happens if I do and I’m freaking out about it. All I did was absolutely bomb a test.

Struggling with MATH 151 (3rd attempt) need advice on professor choice + how to actually pass

This is gonna be my third time taking MATH 151 and I need it for my major so I really can’t screw it up again. Trying to decide between Rasika Mahawattege and Kalman Nanes, heard mixed stuff about both. Anyone taken either of them recently?
Mostly just trying to figure out:
How close are their exams to the practice stuff/homework?

Is one better about office hours or answering questions?

Any tips for someone retaking who gets a decent amount of it but still keeps bombing the exams?

Literally any advice helps specific to the professors or just general “how I finally passed calc” stuff. Thanks.

Is UNIV 101 worth taking? If not, what easy gen ed to replace it with?

I’m making some last minute revisions to my schedule, because unfortunately the advisor i met with had me pick some courses that don’t help me graduate at all

I am starting with math 150, so i’m wondering if it’s better to at least take another gen ed over UNIV 101, or does that not help?
