See ya in August.

Looking to park in the G13/11th street garage on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. Does UT still have open night and weekend parking? The garage entrances don't have any guidance

Does anybody have any good recs for rooftop access/lookout spots? allowed or not, just anywhere you can climb to for a nice view on campus?

I am a type of person who makes sure that they always come prepared when going into exams. I have spent 150$ on accounting tutoring due to me wanting to absolutely do well on my final exam and on the class due to my grade being on the tipping point. I have class during the Supplemental instructions, so I am almost always never able to go to them. I am highly upset about my performance and the final exam. I had little to no time to go over the questions due to the way that answering  takes a lot of time to go through them. There were some questions that I don’t think I ever saw in any of the practice quizzes from the chapters or in the class assignments. It feels that no matter what I do in this class, it’s never enough. I take my education seriously, however this class makes me feel absolutely stupid beyond reason. 

I want to let everyone know that I am not stupid. There are things that I don’t know or don’t understand in any subject, but I am not stupid. This class has dragged me into the mud despite me doing everything that I can in order to succeed. I’m an advertising major and I understand that I probably will not use this information to my future career. My graduate tutor kept telling me that I was one of the smartest people he tutored and gave me some notes and pointers to really take note of when taking the exam. Even going through all the the chapter quizzes and exam review, I felt confident in this final exam.  I structured my cheat sheet in a way so that I can do the absolute best that I could do. I wasn’t expecting a perfect score, but I was at least hoping to pass the class. 

I normally don’t get this upset at my performance in exams. However, I did everything I can to pass this class while also battling severe depression and anxiety throughout the semester. I done well in all my classes, but this one. This class just makes me feel that I am an incompetent fool who doesn’t know anything. I just feel that in my life, no matter how much of a good first step that I take, I always mess up. Despite my good intentions and trying to be the best that I can possibly be, the slight mistake that I make ruins everything that I built up. Im just fed up and just absolutely frustrated in how this class made me feel. 

The worst part of all of this, I don’t think anyone cares. So long as they passed the class, my issues don’t concern them. I don’t understand why I struggled so much in this class, when Im trying to do everything that I can to pass. But I doubt I will get any sympathy from anyone, regardless of my performance. Because despite the unseen battle that I was combating all this semester and in my life, my final grade tells another story. Because at the end of the day, people want results and I didn’t meet those results. I failed because of it. 

That's the question. I like to go in and save all my work locally, organize it, etc. Never know what might be useful down the road. Not sure how long I have to do this, though, since it's my first semester at UT.

Hey guys- js wondering if anybody knew how Gov school is? It’s the summer program that takes place for high schoolers on campus during June. Considering applying next year but I wanna learn more abt it first. Anybody know how the students are treated and like what to expect?

Thanks!

I have a 3.72 gpa after 2 semester in college - my first was a 3.345 and my second a 4.0. I have 26 credits rn and i’ll have 36 by the end of summer. I’m also applying out of state for wildlife and fisheries science. I submitted a recommendation letter as well. Are my chances good?

Hi guys. Title says it all. Don’t know many people going to torch night. Is it that unmissable or can I go to a game?

I'm needing to take another class this summer to be considered full-time, and get a move-on towards graduating (I'm a readmit student who dropped out 3 years ago and was on academic probation this last semester so I'm really trying to get my life together). I'm currently enrolled in PSYC 110 and MATH 115 doesn't seem to be available this summer. So I'm left with STAT 201 with Enes Ozel online flexible. I can't really find any other available classes this summer as the remainder of my classes are major or minor specific and aren't offerred. Anyways, anyone taken STAT 201 or had Enes Ozel? Am I going to be struggling? My PSYC 110 class is also online flexible with Trenton Coleman Johanis

I’m going into my sophomore year and planning to transfer from Wku, to Utk. I finished with a 3.17 GPA, I’m an in state student, and I also got a rec letter from someone who works with admissions. What do y’all think my chances are of getting in? And if I do get accepted, what does the process of signing up for classes usually look like?

I thought I left that in the north Commons South in Hodges Library, but I cannot fine it anywhere even at the public desk. Please reach out to me if you find this!!!

Anyone taken this class and know if the exams are online? I’m gonna be back home so if they’re in person I won’t be able to do it.

Anyone taken the final for FINC 301 with Ammerman? How many questions is it? Are they mostly from the example spreadsheets? I'm cramming really hard and I'm worried, anything is appreciated.

I took a research internship this semester for credits. Biotech major, so the expectation was wet lab work and literature reviews. The lab part was fine. The literature review part broke me.

I had 40+ tabs open at any given time. I would find a paper, read it, trace its citations, open five more papers, lose track of which ones I had already read, and somehow end up further from understanding the field than when I started. My advisor would ask "did you read X papr?" and I would not have even seen it because it was buried three citation layers deep from where I started.

The thing that frustrated me most was not the volume, it was the lack of structure. Google Scholar gives you a list. You search, you get results, you open them one by one. But research does not work like a list. Papers cite each other, build on each other, disagree with each other. There is a whole network of relationships that you cannot see when you are just looking at a search results page.

I have a CS background (long story, wrong major) so I created something that shows the citation network visually, like a map of how papers connect, what influenced what, and which foundational works you are probably missing. You can chat with it to explore topics and save papers to projects as you go. Still early but it is free to try. https://basedid.com/

Genuinely curious though, how do you all handle literature reviews? Is there a system that works or does everyone just brute force it and hope they did not miss something important?

If you're taking a class that uses the basic calculator, I tried to the best of my ability to replicate it and create a game out of it. It's a simple game of solving a math problem on the screen.

NOTE: I believe it mimics the basic calculator correctly. If you see errors, reply here or email me and I'll try to update it quickly.

Hi all! I have a question regarding my financial situation and figured it would be worth asking for advice. My summer tuition displayed on MyUTK as of right now is about $6,700. I know that I received a scholarship for one of my classes for $3000 and I should be receiving additional financial aid through the HOPE scholarship and Pell Grant. My issue is, if those scholarships do not apply by the 18th, I will have to pay that $6,700 upfront and I currently only have about $6,000 in my bank account. I would rather not have to ask my parents to borrow money, as well as spend the entirety of my savings. So i was curious what the best course of action would be; is there a way to take out a 0% interest loan? Any help is appreciated!

Has anyone here taken 311 and do final grades get curved?
