As students, do you feel like your educational needs at school are well-met by existing edtech platforms? Or do you think they're disjointed or they're not meeting an actual gap. Please give specific examples. The people I know have really different opinions.

Is this reasonable for an accelerated asynchronous Calculus I course, or am I overreacting?

Upvotes

I’m taking an accelerated asynchronous Calculus I course, and I’m looking for honest advice about whether my concerns are reasonable and what I should do next.

The course mainly relies on crappy lecture slides, WebAssign, and YouTube videos (not made by the prof, these are general videos). We understood that an asynchronous class would require a lot of independent work, but many of us expected more direct teaching, instructor-created explanations, or worked examples connected to our assignments and exams.

As the course progressed and the material became harder, several students started feeling increasingly confused and unprepared for the proctored midterm. It often feels like we are teaching ourselves Calculus I through outside videos and WebAssign in a very short course.

The grading categories are:

  • Quizzes:
  • Discussions:

It makes sense that students earn higher scores in homework, quizzes, and discussions. During those assignments, we have more time to work through problems, check notes, rewatch videos, and use permitted learning resources. A timed and strictly proctored exam is a completely different environment.

I’m not arguing that earning 100% on homework means someone should automatically earn 100% on an exam. My concern is that we were not given enough instructor-led preparation to transition from supported, open-resource coursework to proctored exams that determine half of the final grade.

According to Canvas, the midterm mean was 23.74 out of 47, or approximately 50.5%. The median was approximately 54.3%. The professor also acknowledged that most of the class performed poorly.

The syllabus says the final-exam score can replace the lowest regular-exam score. However, the entire regular-exam category is only worth 14%, while the midterm and final category is worth 50%. This means the replacement provides a relatively small opportunity to recover from a poor midterm, even if a student improves significantly on the comprehensive final.

Communication and access to support have also been problems. The syllabus says students should normally receive a response within 24–48 hours, but questions have not always been answered within that timeframe. My own communication with the professor was through Canvas, and I had to send a follow-up before receiving a response.

Before the midterm, a tutor held a recorded review session. However, the recording was never posted for the class. Because the course is asynchronous, that recording would have been especially useful for students who could not attend live or wanted to review the material again. Students asked whether the video could be uploaded, but they did not receive a response, and we never received access to it.

Canvas and WebAssign have also displayed different due times for some assignments. Some deadlines were extended, but the conflicting information between the two official platforms was not always corrected.

After the midterm, I sent the professor a Canvas message explaining that a close friend had died during the week of the exam. I understand that I contacted him only after taking it, so he did not know beforehand and could not have offered an accommodation before the exam. I accepted responsibility for my score and asked for advice or an opportunity to improve.

His response did not acknowledge the loss. Instead, much of it focused on students using “shortcuts,” suspected AI use, and students he said he caught cheating during the proctored exam. I had not been accused of cheating, so the emphasis surprised and discouraged me. He did say he would provide review homework and a study guide for the final. I followed up with another message asking if there are any extra credit opportunities or if he could review earlier. That was three days ago. I have not gotten a response.

Some students have also told me that 10% was deducted from their original exam scores because the professor suspected them of cheating. According to those students, the stated reasons included “looking at the screen for too long” and “writing for too long” during the Zoom-proctored exam.

I was not personally involved in these deductions and cannot independently verify every detail, so I’m sharing them as student accounts rather than established facts. However, those explanations concern me because the exam required students to carefully analyze graphs displayed on the screen and show written work. Both activities can reasonably take time.

I completely understand that professors have a responsibility to prevent cheating and enforce academic-integrity rules. I am not asking anyone to excuse cheating or inappropriate AI use. However, I also believe that a cheating-related deduction should be based on clear evidence, explained to the affected student, and include an opportunity for the student to respond.

From a student’s perspective, the overall emphasis has sometimes felt more focused on monitoring and penalizing suspected AI use than on teaching, answering questions, or making review materials accessible. Better instruction, course-aligned examples, accessible recordings, and timely responses could help reduce students’ reliance on outside resources in the first place.

When a class is asynchronous, a recorded review exists but is not shared, questions go unanswered, and students are heavily penalized based on behavior that could also be consistent with carefully completing an exam, it creates the impression that enforcement is receiving more attention than student support.

I contacted the college’s ombudsperson for confidential guidance. I am also waiting on a response. I’m not demanding an automatic grade change or trying to punish the professor. There are only about two weeks left, and I’m considering asking the department whether it can provide more instructor-led review, align the deadlines, offer another course-wide opportunity to demonstrate improvement, or review whether the category weights are appropriate.

My questions are:

  1. Is it reasonable to request a course-wide remedy when the weights were disclosed in the syllabus?
  2. Should a recorded review session for an asynchronous course have been made available afterward?
  3. Is it reasonable for students to ask what evidence and appeal process supports a cheating-related deduction?
  4. How can I raise these concerns without sounding like I simply want points because I performed poorly?
  5. Has anyone dealt with something similar in an accelerated asynchronous STEM course?

I’m willing to study, complete additional work, and prepare for the final. I’m mainly looking for advice about how to address this fairly and professionally.

TL;DR: I’m in an accelerated asynchronous Calculus I course that relies mainly on WebAssign, textbook material, and YouTube videos. The midterm and final are worth 50% of the grade, but the midterm average was only about 50.5%. A recorded review was never posted, responses have sometimes been delayed, and Canvas and WebAssign have shown conflicting deadlines. Some students also report losing 10% for suspected cheating based on behaviors like looking at the screen or writing for too long. I contacted the school’s ombudsperson and want advice on whether asking the department for more support or a course-wide remedy is reasonable.

Hi there.

So I will be joining college in august InShaAllah and right now I am already teaching at a private school. But because I don't have my degree yet they are paying me less.

I got in through their interview so they gave me all science classes for higher classes of 8,9, and 10 and bio for 1st and 2nd year.

And I also teach 6 and 7 grade maths and science. It's been a year of me teaching there.

So, because I'll be leaving it for college I want to keep earning money through online teaching. If any of you want my services I can help u with studies. And I'll make notes for u too.

I have been offered a UCL accom for my final year at uni but it SUCKS and I hated it living there the year before. I’ve missed out on my opportunity to move out with mates as I was waiting for UCL to change my accommodation and they didn’t, so I feel kinda screwed. Is there any way I can find a studio within the range of £1000-£1100 within 30 minutes of UCL (tube/bus)? I would really appreciate some recommendations and help looking within this budget as I just don’t think I can firm student accom again.

how do i get my talent and spark at writing back after relying on ai too much for years

1 Upvotes

I used to be so good and passionate about writing, but on the emergence of AI back when I was in Grade 9, i made the horrible mistake of over using it even on the simplest tasks. Now, I started to realize how much AI has been taking from me. While, the whole time—I thought AI is a heaven-sent blessing that can give me anything. I've been trying to be less dependent on AI whenever I write but it's always a frustrating fray.

Can I get general recommendation letter

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to apply for scholarships, internships, and even jobs, but they usually ask for a letter of recommendation which I don't have. I also don't have a good CV because no projects.

So is it possible for a professor to give me a general letter of recommendation that I can use to apply for different opportunities, rather than just one specific position?

Kya kr na chayiye mujhe?

Main Nagpur ke ek middle-class family se hoon. Hamare ghar mein hamesha ek hi sapna tha achhi padhai karo, achhi job lo, aur family ki zimmedari sambhalo. Jab mera Mumbai ke college mein admission hua, mere parents ko laga ki unka sapna sach hone laga hai. Unhone mujh par bharosa kiya, aur maine bhi socha ki main unki har umeed poori karunga.

Lekin college ki journey utni aasaan nahi thi. Academics mein main utna strong nahi tha aur dheere-dheere mere 5 KT (backlogs) ho gaye. Placement season aaya, lekin mujhe campus placement nahi mili.

Us din laga tha ki shayad sab khatam ho gaya hai. Lekin maine haar nahi maani. Maine khud companies mein apply karna shuru kiya. Kai rejections ke baad mujhe Delhi mein ek Business Development Executive ki job mil gayi ₹35,000 per month. Sabse surprising baat yeh thi ki company ne meri academic backlogs ke baare mein verification nahi kiya. Mujhe laga, "Bas, ab zindagi track par aa jayegi."

Main Delhi shift ho gaya. Training khatam hui aur asli kaam shuru hua. Lekin BDE role meri expectation se bahut alag tha. Roz ke targets, constant pressure, aur hectic routine. Maine apni taraf se poori koshish ki, lekin main targets achieve nahi kar paaya. Sirf ek mahine baad mujhe job se nikal diya gaya.

Jab main ghar wapas gaya, to sirf main hi nahi, mere parents bhi toot gaye the. Unhone mujhe kuch nahi kaha, bas itna bola, " Government exam ki taiyari karo. Wahi tumhare liye sahi rahega."

Maine unki baat maan li. Pichhle ek mahine se main roz 9–10 ghante padh raha hoon. Pehli baar lag raha tha ki main apni life ko dobara bana sakta hoon.

Phir ek aur twist aaya.

College se mail aaya ki meri bachi hui KT exams July aur August mein hongi. Mujhe Mumbai wapas aana pada. Lekin is baar maine ghar walon ko sach nahi bataya. Maine unse kaha ki mujhe Mumbai mein job mil gayi hai aur joining ke liye wapas jaana zaroori hai.

Mere parents bahut khush ho gaye. Unhe laga ki unka beta phir se apne pairon par khada ho raha hai. Shayad bahut dino baad maine unke chehre par itni khushi dekhi thi. Lekin woh khushi dekhkar mere andar ek alag hi bojh aa gaya.

Haqeeqat yeh thi ki main job ke liye nahi, apni KT exams dene Mumbai aaya tha.

Ab unhe lagta hai ki main Mumbai mein job kar raha hoon. Kuch hi dino mein woh mujhse paise ki umeed bhi karenge, kyunki unhe yakeen hai ki meri salary aani shuru ho gayi hogi. Aur yahin se meri sabse badi tension shuru hoti hai.

Ek taraf government exam ki preparation hai, jiske liye main poori mehnat kar raha hoon. Doosri taraf meri KT exams hain, jinhe clear kiye bina degree complete nahi hogi. Aur teesri taraf ghar walon ka bharosa hai, jise todne se main sabse zyada darta hoon.

Kabhi-kabhi raat ko bas ek hi sawal dimag mein ghoomta rehta hai...

Main kya karun?

Kya main unhe sab sach bata doon? Ya pehle KT clear karun, government exam ki taiyari continue rakhoon aur kisi tarah ek job dhoondh kar unki umeedon par khara utarne ki koshish karun?
