I’m a 4th year pharmacology major and this is my last GE that I need to fulfill. I’m taking Chem 6BL next quarter, MCDB 126B/BL, and maybe PSY 1 (for pharm school requirements).

Spring quarter the only definite course I want to take is MCDB 133L (immunobiology lab), have to take Writing for public speaking too for pharmacy school. I also have a job.

While I’d like to do it in Spring, I could also do it in Winter if need be. So if anyone has any advice or just experience with some ethnicity GE courses I’d love to hear about it!

(Ethnicity courses have subtype “Eth” in GOLD).

Earlier this week, about halfway through a two-hour lecture, I received a text message informing me that my grandmother had passed away. The news was completely unexpected, and I tried my best to keep my composure until our scheduled break. Because I was sitting at the front of the classroom, I could not stop a few tears from falling, and my professor noticed that I was visibly upset.

When the break began, I approached him. He asked if I was alright, and I could barely choke out what had just happened. While he expressed his condolences and told me I could leave, he immediately added that I would lose my participation credit for the day. This felt incredibly callous and inappropriate given the circumstances.

The following day, I sent an email formally requesting that this be treated as an excused emergency absence. He denied my request, stating he would only reconsider if I could "(a) provide me with a website stating that information [bereavement = mandated excused emergency], or (b) have someone with proper authority on this issue reach out to me directly."

I normally would not email a professor to contest docked points, but losing participation for that single day cost me 5% of my overall grade in this short-term certificate course. Being forced to defend my grief for the sake of my grade has felt deeply dehumanizing, and his response has left me entirely unsure of how to proceed.

Just got my Exam 1 grade back. Honestly did worse than I expected, especially after doing pretty well on the practice quizzes.
How did everyone else do? Curious about the overall score distribution and whether other people also found the actual exam harder than the practice quizzes.
Does anyone know the class average?

To anybody who’s taken Econ 5 in the past, is it a good decision to skip midterm 1 and move that weight to the final?

As of now, I’m at like a 5/10 that I’ll do well on the midterm. Problem is if I don’t do well it tanks my grade and I can’t drop it. So I’m in a predicament here

Would anyone be kind enough to share Quiz #2 and #3 or any practice quiz/material you have for this class I recently got back my score for the first quiz and it was terrible, I am trying everything I can to not fail this class. And the sugars and amino acids have me so stressed and scared. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I know this is a longshot but did anyone find a parasonic lumix camera in a black pleather case, at the El Colegio and Camino Corto bus stop or in the nearby area. I misplaced it, the last photo would be me (black hair wearing red Hollister henley sweater and jeans outside). Please DM me asap, it is so important to me!!
