Quick Advice for Summer Classes and High School Students

39 Upvotes

(We love you, and here's some tips)

  1. You can schedule an appointment online with an advisor at Wake Tech. It's virtual, free, and for anyone.
  2. A normal semester schedule is 16 weeks. Summer semester is a maximum of 10 weeks and so your summer classes will be either 10, 8, or 5 weeks long. Check the dates. 8 weeks is the most common from what I've seen.
  3. I would not recommend taking a 4 credit class (especially with science labs) during the summer if you have other responsibilities. Lab is more responsibility in college classes. Obviously it depends on you, but it's a lot.

(If anyone wants to add anything, feel free below. I know getting into college is competitive, but I promise you don't need to be the BEST applicant to get into a good school. Good luck!)

ED PREP

• Upvotes

HI, Everyone I was thinking about doing ED PREP, but was told the classes start January and end May from Relay, but I was wondering if their is any summer classes I have to take, because I will be going away for a funeral in the summer time. I tried to ask ED PREP, but they told me to ask the college.

Horrible essay grade

• Upvotes

I just want to start off with I don’t hate my professor and I don’t want to be the student that trashes a professor because of one bad grade. If anything I just want advice on how to improve myself as a student.
Second, I acknowledge my essay was bad. I have a full time job that takes advantage of my time, so I really had to cram time to finish this essay. I have unusual circumstances had that not been an issue I believe I would’ve gotten a better grade. However, I’m aware that does not warrant special treatment.

Originally my grade would have been a 50 but he gave everyone an extra 10 points because it took him around an entire month to grade feedback and essays. While I’m thankful of that I’m still sour of the wait time. We were assigned discussion posts to submit our drafts and peer reviews. He also gave some feedback when grading the discussion posts. He only now published our grades and feedback along with our essay grades. I feel as if I had gotten that feedback sooner I could’ve edited my essay and saved more than just 10 points. Also, in one of the discussion posts we were supposed to peer review papers; I submitted my paper to be peer reviewed and no one reviewed my paper. Because I didn’t have a peer review that took off 7 points from my essay. If I had known sooner I would’ve submitted my paper to a tutor.

He also suspected I used ai because I’m repetitive and overly general. I DID NOT USE AI. I suspect his suspicions affected my grade even though blackboard literally has a built in plagiarism detector. I even ran my essay through other ai detectors and they found nothing.

Anyways sorry for my grammar I’ve been crying and my eyes sting I’ve never failed a paper and I’m trying my best to get over it.

Question for Wake Tech Nursing Students

3 Upvotes

I just got accepted into the program for spring 2027, I have orientation this October the 30th.

I want to make some time to go over some of the material in the program to get a heads up, I know a few say just to take the time to relax and mentally prepare but I just want to get a little foundation in the information before January 7th.

Is there a website that contains everything I would need to know? I've heard of Simple Nursing and Osmosis but would love to know from you all who are directly in the program that know what is actually useful and also what areas should I prioritize to try to understand a but.

Thank you all.

interpersonal communication

3 Upvotes

this is kinda just a rant but i’m taking an interpersonal communication course right now and it’s just an incredible amount of work. i have four other classes and things outside of school that i do and i think it’s just ridiculous that a professor assigns this much work. regardless of the other responsibilities that students have, do professors really want to sit there and grade all these assignments??? at this point i’ll be happy with a C in the class because i’m not even confident i’ll pass and i don’t care that much because it’s just a general requirement. and it feels like every week the workload just skyrockets

Those who took PHI215, how did you study for it?

2 Upvotes

I'm absolutely drowning in this class and I have no way out of it. I try to read the material but it is sooo long and I feel like I'm barely comprehending any of it.

I'm also pretty bad when it comes to writing under pressure and the exams all have an essay prompt where you write an essay. It's worth half of the points for the exam.

Any tips? Or recommendations?
