Registered late

I registered about a week late (had to take care of a collections hold) and the class I registered for had multiple assignments due before I was even in the class. I was just graded for 0 for all of those. I don't think I can make it up, as per the professor policy.

I'm still a freshman so I'm not sure what to do other than just email the professor. Any advice?

Falling Behind

Long story short, I have had a major medical problem (had a baby 2.5 months to early and she has extensive medical problems from it) and didn't plan to return to school until fall but financial aid repayment is hassling me so I had to return this semester so that things don't go irreversably to collections. I love school but we still have a procedure left on top of massive developmental issues and life is still pretty chaotic. I am a biomedical sciences student. I was able to get everything online but the first two weeks of this summer were irregularly crazy due to all of my baby's one year follow-ups with her specialists which were a lot to process and my brain seems to have permanently taken a hit. I'm way behind on school work. I'm taking cell biology and genetics right now. Is it better to start on assignments coming due or go back to what I have missed? I am such a perfectionist and actually really love the material so I hate this but I really need to pull through. Also any advice on getting back into the swing of things after a year? It has been even harder than anticipated. The text book especially for cell biology is taking me so long to read. Any help or ways you organize things is really helpful.

Syllabus for class SOC320G

Hello all

This might be a long shot, but I am looking for a copy of the SOC320G class. I graduated in 2021, and I think I took this class in 2019. I am currently pursuing a different degree, and they are asking for a copy of the syllabus to hopefully transfer the credit. I would hate to have to take a different sociology class, as it would lengthen my program and, by extension, its cost. Paying someone to have a copy sent to me. TYIA

Finally Meeting w/ the Dept. Chair

Hi guys. So I’m finally meeting with the new chair at 1 today. I’m gathering and screenshotting everything I can to make sure that I have my timeline and facts all neat. If anyone has any advice on what to say or how to phrase things, that would be greatly appreciated.

The student conduct officer also reached out to me this morning and said that he was able to receive a portion of a recording from my professor. For some reason, either she can’t or will not provide everything to him. I asked if she’s provided a reason as to why we can’t view the full recordings and what exam this selected portion is from. I still find all of this really weird. She only discussed exam 4 with me, but reported me for all of them, then only sends a portion of one of the exams?

Anyway, I’ll update after the meeting.

UPDATE: there’s not going to be anymore posts going forward. Someone told the department chair about my posts and they brought it up during the meeting. So yeah that sucks.

EE vs Mechatronics

I’m a freshman at UVU trying to decide between Mechatronics and Electrical Engineering and wanted to hear from people actually in the programs (or who considered both). I can't find a lot of information online for UVU comparing the two.

If you’re in Mechatronics: What’s your experience been like so far? What kinds of jobs/internships seem realistic coming out of the program? Do you ever wish you had gone EE instead?

If you’re in EE: Why did you choose EE over Mechatronics? How theoretical vs hands-on is the program? What areas does UVU seem strongest in?

For anyone who compared the two: What ultimately made you choose one over the other? Which students tend to fit better in each program skill-wise?

I’m especially interested in robotics, embedded systems, semiconductors, automation, and building things physically, but I also don’t want to accidentally limit myself long term (seems like mechatronics is especially niche).

Would appreciate any honest opinions about the programs, professors, recruiting, workload, career flexibility, or anything else you think someone deciding between the two should know.

Y’ALL I CAN’T

So I’ve reached out to Student Conduct, OMBUDS, Student Success, The Dean of Students, and the frickin Dept. Chair about how to appeal and literally no one has given me anything. Student Conduct and OMBUDS gave me the Dept. Chair’s info, Student Success gave me the Dean of Students info (no reply), and guess what? The Dept. Chair is actually no longer the Dept. Chair and he has copied my email to the Chair who I’ve yet to hear from.

Y’all weren’t kidding when you said the appeals process was cumbersome. What the actual hell.
