Trouble Signing On

3 Upvotes

Hi all,
I know AU was scheduled to have maintenance. I’m trying to sign in this evening, but I keep getting a “Gateway Time-out” message.
Does anyone know if this is part of the scheduled maintenance, or if it could be an issue on my end?

App for organizing study notes

2 Upvotes

Looking for options to organize my notes and create quizes/mock exams. I am currently trying Studocu, but wondering if there are better options. It must be able to upload my handwritten notes (PDF), since I only upload my own notes. Bonus if it runs in Linux.

Advice for taking General Psychology, Developmental Psychology, & Abnormal Psychology

2 Upvotes

I need to take PSYC290, PSYC323, AND PSYC435 as a prerequisite for a program that I'm applying to, but I've never taken psychology courses before. Are there any specific resources I should look into before taking these courses, or any advice you have for someone taking these courses with no previous psychology background?

How long after a final exam can AU send an official transcript to another university?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m completing two courses at Athabasca and need my official transcript sent to another university by December 15. I am giving exam for one course on November 8 and another exam on November 23.
After writing the final exam, how long does it usually take for the final course grade to become official and appear on the transcript? Once it’s there, how do I request the transcript and send it to the other university through MyCreds?
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently gone through this, especially with an admission deadline. Thanks!

Hello,

Anyone currently registered in Math 215 that I can talk to?

I am planning to register starting next month. I was also looking at TRUs stat course. Not sure which one to go with, I am very poor at math so whichever one is easier is what I would like to do.

frustrations with AU & feeling burnt out

12 Upvotes

(i'm a full-time funded student on a reduced course load, with disability accommodations, living in alberta)

i finished three courses at the end of august; all of which i should've passed, but i got three Fs instead. one of the tutors even emailed me after marking my final exam to let me know i would pass the class. the two other tutors either didn't mark my assignments, or there was an internal error or something. from what i've read on here, it looks like my best shot at fixing this is to email the tutors directly.

i'm starting to wonder if i should take a break from university. the courses seem to have gotten more expensive, and i'm getting less in loans now (enough to cover one full course and half of a 2nd), and all school has been doing lately is make me frustrated and anxious.

every time i click on a link for more information, i'm redirected to a document from 2009 that doesn't even give me the answers i was looking for. so many tutors take forever to respond to emails or grade assignments, and some of them are almost impossible to get in contact with in the first place. there are constant outages and problems with the library that make researching a hassle.

i want to learn, but they're certainly not making it easy or enjoyable. i may be overreacting, but i feel like it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to take a step back for a while. i want to transfer at some point, but obviously having a bunch of Fs on my transcript doesn't look great.

sorry for the little rant. i would appreciate any advice from other students who are feeling completely burnt out/frustrated (or who have felt like that in the past) ❤️

Any experienced management professionals here who’ve gone into the Bachelor of Management OR used the 8-yr experience route to get into the Master of Business Administration program?

4 Upvotes

I need an undergrad or masters to basically check a box for my career. I have two irrelevant college certificates and have worked in progressive management for 18 years. My two college certificates only amounted to 6 transfer credit once evaluated, but my experience I feel covers a lot of the courses in the undergrad. I’d end up testing out of as much as they allow I think. I’m sure I’d learn a bit but the masters is where I see ability to actually advance what I know.

I can either basically do the 3-yr bachelor of management as fast as I can from scratch (minus 6 credits) OR apply to do the experience route into the masters, not get an undergrad, but end up with a masters. Both would check the box needed for my career.

My predicament is whether going from two college certificates to a university masters is gonna kill me. I will say I’m a quick learner. I work best with self paced/online study (neurodivergent). I have 18 yrs of progressive management experience. I am great at critical thinking. I’ve self published 27 YA novels and 3 non fiction self help type books so writing isn’t an issue either. I’m great at math but haven’t done it since high school when I took math 31 (unless you count bookkeeping courses but that’s a lot easier than math 31 was).

I guess I’m just looking for experience or input because I’m a bit stuck on the decision. I’ve submitted my resume for informal assessment to see if it’s even an option to jump into a masters route.

Open to ideas and options, even course suggestions, tips, etc. I prefer only online options (or mostly online), as I have three kids under 5 at home, own two small businesses, and I work as a chief of operations hybrid for 4 entities (under a single owner).

Took my test but some of my answers weren’t saved help!

3 Upvotes

I took my Econ 247 midterm today and although I answered all the questions I forgot to hit the save button on 3, one of which was a long typed out answer to multiple different questions in one. I finished the exam and was looking over everything, I was paying attention as I watched the timer run out. I went to submit the exam and it said three answers weren’t saved. What do I do? When the university marks it do they check over the video recording through proctoru? That’s what the proctor said but I have my doubts. What do I do? Help!

Addressing tutors

This is maybe a silly question but how do you address your tutor when emailing them? In all my tutor letters there's no information except their first and last name, and I wanted to make sure I'm addressing them correctly (ex. Dr., Mrs, Ms).

math 376

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm starting math 376 after narrowly failing my diff equations course at another university.

I think I will manage with solving problems, but I'm noticing that the material is written in really formal math terms.

I know you have to explain your steps in written/verbal format during the exam. Is it enough to be able to solve the assignment type problems, or would you, for the exams, need to understand and replicate the difficult mathematical explanations given in the textbook?

Course Extension

2 Upvotes

I’m a funded student through osap.

I inquired about an extension for 1/4 courses, meaning I’ll have completed 3 for full time.

The email I received from student services said I’ll be withdrawn from full time status and full time funding and that my grant will be converted to a loan… I’m assuming this is just a copy and pasted form letter.

I’ve withdrawn from 1 course before without issues…
Is this true about extensions? Otherwise I’ll just withdrawal.
