Thoughts on CNA for med school app?

2 Upvotes

30 y/o mechanic. Recently got told to start looking for a new job by my manager due to scheduling conflicts with my academic schedule. I want to make the most of this happening by doing something to build up my med school application, CNA seems like the best option since I can work nights while working on my undergrad full time and the workload seems less exhausting than EMT? Open to all thoughts and opinions šŸ™

University of Louisville Employs a Predator

25 Upvotes

The University of Louisville is a public institution. Your money. Your campus. Your rules. That’s what they tell you.

That’s the lie.

Because this public institution is employing a man who threatened sexual violence. And they’re hiding behind ā€œconfidentialityā€ to avoid telling you about it.

Need help with the change major request form

I am currently a incoming freshman into the University of Louisville and entering with my current major being in computer science and engineering. However, I want to change my major to electrical and computer engineering. But when I try to go to ulink to fill out a change my major form the option for electrical and computer engineering isn’t there. Is there a way I can change my major to electrical and computer engineering through ulink or am I going to need to wait until the fall semester to work it out with my Advisor?

3rd street south safe to park in overnight?

1 Upvotes

I’m living at the Marshall this next year and have been thinking about if I should pay for the parking garage ($50/month) or if black lot would be better ($225/year). Financially it would be easier to do the black lot, but idk how safe it is to park there over night. Wondering if anyone else does this and would have insight!

Do I really need a tablet PC for engineering?

4 Upvotes

Earlier this year, before I had officially decided my major, I invested in a beast of a computer (both for gaming and school purposes) and it's amazing so far -- insanely fast and portable. This fall I'm starting to take some engineering classes and I saw for ENGR 100 and 181 it says a tablet PC is required... is that really true? I love my computer and I'm going to be so mad if I have to buy a random tablet that I'm never going to use again 😭 Can someone tell me if it's actually required, and if I'll continue using it throughout my degree? Should I just buy something cheap secondhand or invest in something nicer? I'm a broke college student so not trying to spend money I don't have to lol.

Fall classes

Has anyone taken Chemistry 201 with this professor? Alex Saltzman. If so, how was the class? Was it well organized, and how difficult were the exams and assignments? I think it's an online course, so I'd also love to know how the online format worked and whether you would recommend taking it. Thanks!

How realistic is it to get to the School of Music from the Speed Student Success/Research building in 10 mins?

5 Upvotes

How realistic is it to get to the School of Music from the Speed Student Success/Research building in 10 mins?

I am an incoming freshman and my schedule got built for me and I only have 10 mins between my classes at both these buildings. My class at the Speed building ends at 9:50, my class at the School of Music starts at 10:00 and ends at 10:50, then I have another class at the Speed building at 11:00. Will I be able to make it in time for my classes? I looked on Google Maps and it showed about a 13 minute walk… Also, there is a crosswalk over Eastern Parkway I need to cross to get to/from the Speed building. When I asked about this at orientation, I was told that ā€œyou can make it anywhere on campus in 10 minutesā€ but I have a hard time believing that when these buildings are so far apart and I am assuming professors don’t always end classes right on the dot. I have looked on CourseLeaf to try and find better times for my classes but the second Speed building class only has one block (it’s an honors class) so I am assuming my alternatives are to either switch out of my School of Music class or I take the normal version of my engineering class instead of honors so I can take it at a different time? I would like to not have to do that so advice on if my current schedule is possible or advice to make it work (bike? scooter?) would be really appreciated!! Thank you Reddit

Organic chem help

1 Upvotes

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

Hello guys and gals,

We’re Brian and Mike and we teach general and organic chemistry. We’ve done so for a total combined time of 47 years! Overwhelmed by general or organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with chemistry may be, we’re here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with us?

- Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. We do.

- We tutor chemistry full time; it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with us, you’ll be working with Brian for general chemistry and Mike for organic chemistry. This is not an agency and you won’t be matched with random tutors each time.

- You’ll be learning problem solving through chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.

- Your learning will be customized to your specific needs.

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, our teaching styles, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you!

Mike and Brian

Freshman Dorming South Belknap

I haven’t attended orientation yet and I don’t have much time to shop after my orientation since I’ll be abroad for almost 2 months so I’m trying to finish some of my shopping before it’s move in time. I’m confused on whether the dorm looks like this or the standard double they show in the video tour on the UofL website. Can someone confirm?
