the best thing I did as an undergrad, school-wise...

it actually made a difference in numerous ways, including grades (like when I was on the border of an A and B)

Undergraduate Academics Online English 1110 Algebra 1220

Upvotes

I’m in my 3rd semester and I’ve been watching the English and math classes/professors and I can’t see any that are rated highly. If you’ve taken either of these recently and had a good online experience can you let me know who to look for in upcoming semesters? I struggled with both of these subjects for my associates so I’m delaying it as much as I can.

Freshman here. I understand with my meal exchanges I can buy premade entrees, but what are the guidelines for pairing the entree with a drink and/or side? Do I have to buy a certain size of a drink and/or side for it to qualify?

Undergraduate Academics Can finals be scheduled before the final week?

Upvotes

Hi! My sibling's graduation is on May 13th, 2027. But spring final week is may 10th~14th.

Do finals ever end before the final exam week, or are they usually scheduled between May 10–14? Is it possible to have all my finals finished by May 12?

Thank you for reading!

Advertisement/Promotion In need of a dental cleaning?

Upvotes

Hey y’all! My name is Julia and I am a dental hygiene student here at UNM currently seeking a patient for my first semester in clinic! If you are in need of a dental cleaning and have some free time Friday mornings, this is the opportunity for you! ⬇️

The complete process will require a series of three appointments taking place from 9am-Noon on November 13th, November 20th, and December 4th. (These dates are all Fridays!) This is a big commitment, but in return for your time, you will receive extremely thorough care supervised by highly experienced, licensed hygienists. (And you will really be helping me out! 😅)

If you have the availability and are interested, please send me a direct message and we can discuss details! You may also reach me by email, at juliamarie718@gmail.com

This is an especially excellent opportunity for any one who may be considering applying to UNM’s dental hygiene program, as you would have the chance to meet some of our instructors and observe firsthand how the student clinic operates!

Also, please feel free to share if you know of someone who may be interested!

Thank you! 😊
Julia

Undergraduate Academics Psych labs

I’m doing my first ever Labs for psychology research as an undergraduate. I was worried about not getting into a lab so I emailed 3 professors. 2 replied saying they’d like to meet with me to discuss. Is it worth doing both if I have free time? Am I even allowed to? help!!

Undergraduate Academics Fully Online Student needs to commiserate

Upvotes

Ok. Does Canvas not have an option for students in a class to just commiserate or discuss WITHOUT professor input?

I seriously just miss having people to ask and yes, commiserate, because this prof seriously sucks.

Like, community is important.

Is this not a thing? Yes, i know, there are student activities. I just need to express my pain to others who are experiencing it.

This is my first year at UNM, and im wondering if there's someway I could set up a payment plan for my tuition? My tuition is in my eBill Statement section?

New Student Question Online Classes Too Social

Upvotes

I’ve done 2 online classes so far (a summer math class and this semester is eastern religions) and both are SO UNBEARABLY SOCIAL. Literal forced socializing/interaction and even video “reflection/discussion” requirements for the Eastern Religion class.

Whenever I’ve chosen an online course it’s because I want minimal human interaction (aside from the teacher). I just want to do the reading/assignments and can write about it all day long, but no, I have to make cringe videos and let the other students comment on them which is absolutely anxiety inducing.

Is there a reason for this?? Are all UNM online classes like this? Or is it just teacher’s choice??

Postgraduate Academics PATS won’t respond to my messages and I still don’t have a parking pass at the law school

Upvotes

I was extremely sick and went to the hospital during the period where second and third year law students were meant to purchase L lot passes. Once I was no longer sick I saw the email from PATS and realized it was too late. I couldn’t even add myself to the waitlist on the portal. South lot was the only option and I would then have to take two shuttles to the law school w 9 am classes everyday and living 25 min away. I was number 129 on the q lot waitlist. I both called and emailed PATS more than two weeks ago, and told me I could somehow come into the office to purchase a q lot pass. They told me they had no more L lot passes and there was nothing they could do about it bc the lot was full. I was working that week so I couldn’t come into the office and asked why I could somehow get a q lot pass, but couldn’t get a L lot pass. They told me that I had to talk to the law school about our lot but that they could allow me to purchase a q lot pass online. This response came the day before classes start. I responding asking who I could talk to at the law school and how I could purchase the pass online since I couldn’t see the charge in my account.

Fast forward to today. I still have not gotten a response, which means I have been parking at the law school for a week without a pass. I have called PATS twice, emailed the general PATS email and the director of parking and I have not gotten a response. Any advice on what I should do?

UPDATE: someone in a comment here told me to email someone specific at the law school (the comment is now deleted) so I did, and she got into contact w PATS very quickly. I was able to get an L pass so thank you stranger!! Thank you to the person who offered to let me park at their house as well :)

Photos Associate Professor Geoffrey Miller

Ok, so I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here ig, but I am rn in Pr. Geoffrey Millers Psychology of Human Sexuality class, and he kinda gave me creepy vibes, so I wanted to do some background research on him, and he is actually just such a piece of sh*t. He is transphobic, misogynistic, and Islamophobic to the point where I feel like it's genuinely dangerous. Below are screenshots from his twitter account. Unfortunately, since he doesn't say these in class and because he's tenured, I don't think there's anything that can be done. But I genuinely don't feel safe around him after reading some of these posts:

Edit: just brought this up in his class and he responded with a smug “I’m exercising my freedom of speech.” He is not scared because he knows the university will not do anything; so, WE MUST

Hello, I was wondering what the best option for me would be. This is my last semester at UNM and parking permits are $246. I just have 1 class, and a 30 min drive. Should I go ahead and buy the parking permit or is there a better alternative besides the pay stations?
