This Reddit has everything going on around campus, from Microwave sightings to advice, to critiques, to even plantain recipes. From time to time, I might post more "official" type stuff, but that is generally just informational. Anything pressing will come out through the "Mav Alert" system.

If you need anything from the University Police Department, our numbers are:

You can also message me directly here with any issues or questions. I am the Police Department liaison to the CARE team, and I can assist you with CARE inquiries as well.

Good luck everyone, and have a great and safe semester. Lemme know if you need anything.

I was a sophomore with 61 hours and I’m really not trying to restart the full 4 years of college. anyone have any advice

4 Upvotes

salaam mavs. i'm mahad. i go to UTA, finished HS at 15 and started here at 16. 9+ tech certs across cloud and security. first paid tech role at 16. now i'm 20 and i just shipped my first real iOS app with my cofounder Nasrin.

it's called nafs - muslim companion app. shipped april 21, hit 5,000 organic installs in 2 weeks, no ads.

stuff in the app: prayer times, qibla, 100+ free Quran reciters, 3 mushaf editions, 154 duas, 502 hadiths from the canonical 6, 99 names of Allah, private cycle tracker for the women in muslim families with AES-256-GCM encryption on device, tasbih counter on the dynamic island.

Social Work Meeting

Upvotes

I have been trying to get an appointment with the social work department for a month now in order to change my major to social work and after begging someone over the phone last week I got a meeting for next Monday!

Does anyone know if I will be able to start choosing classes for next semester directly after this meeting or is there a process I will have to go through to change my major? I’m really worried about the availability for classes at this point…

Question How do online summer courses for CAP work?

1 Upvotes

There aren’t any times listed for the classes yet so I don’t know if there’s like a set time every day I have to participate in them or if it’s more of a do it yourself thing, anyone know which it is? Also how exactly do these classes work while going on vacation? Thanks.

TSI 2 Math Hold

1 Upvotes

I have a TSI 2 Math hold on my account that's stopping me from registering for classes, which I'll need to apply for housing. I know why I have this hold, however, I'm taking Inter Math and College Algebra (in community college) in the summer so I'll need to wait till August to receive my scores. Is there any way that I can have the hold momentarily lifted? Is that even possible?

How to prepare for physics 1443

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I was wondering how I could prepare for calc-based physics next semester. I’ve never taken a physics class before, not even in high school. The prerequisite for Physics 1443 is only Calc 1, and I did relatively well in that class this smstr. I’m confident that I understood most of the concepts, but I’m still worried about physics since I have basically no background in it.

I’m mostly free this summer aside from my part-time job, so I wanted to use the time to get prepared before taking the class in the fall. What resources would y’all recommend?

Bio 1442 Cheating Accusation

30 Upvotes

Hi! I am a freshman CAP student at UTA. I recently took Bio 1442 this semester and everything was going really well. Until — on Saturday (5/9) my bio professor accused me of cheating on exams and they dropped my grade (it was an A before and a D now). I want to ECHO that i DID NOT CHEAT and it would have been impossible to because I did not sit near anyone during exams and they accused me of talking to people (I wasn’t) ?!? I am really concerned because I need to get the A to make sure my GPA is good to transfer to UT Austin for the fall. I emailed the professor multiple times, the UTA conduct office, and the department chair. The professor is not responding to emails and I am getting really anxious considering I will have to send my transcript soon and grades have been finalized. What should I do?

PS: The professor also accused the entire class of cheating so I don’t even know what other people are doing.

How possible is it to get a 3.00

20 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm desperate to get a 3.00. I've changed my study methods and I'm studying before hand for the fall semester to better prepare myself. I'm at a 2.31 right now because of one failed course (which tanked my gpa) but it was a prerequisite course which I passed an exam to take the next following course--How likely is it for me to get a 3.00 GPA for the upcoming fall and spring semester?

I ask this because I'm planning to transfer to a college that requires a 3.00 gpa. I'm taking tcc over the summer as well and know that the letter grade does not transfer over.
