22 Upvotes

Hi, I'm currently a student at UIUC, and I made a website for UIUC and OSU students to easily find available spaces on campus to study or hang out.

I'm now launching it for your campus and wanted to share it with you guys! The website is completely free and open sourced (I'm not making any money. I just thought it would be a cool idea to pursue). I've included photos of what your campus looks like on the site. Check it out and let me know what you think! I'm open to any feedback and will keep improving it.

(Also, since I'm not a UMD student, there's an option to correct me if I ever get any info wrong)

Discussion Which departments at UMD are most accommodating for students who can't make it to class?

13 Upvotes

As a student with chronic illness, a lot of why I do / don't take a class is based on how accommodating the professor is (records lectures, has review sheets for exams, good TAs, etc.)

I'm wondering what others' experience has been with their respective department.

What do you guys think?

Hey guys, I’m starting the Data science Masters program in spring 2027. Was wondering if current students could share their opinion of this program so far? Is the program really geared towards working professionals and classes are in the evening? Are you liking your classes?

I have a 1350 SAT and currently a 27 ACT but I just retook the ACT a few days ago and am waiting on results. I know it’s lower than their standards but neither score is inherently bad so I’m genuinely not sure. I can provide any other info to clarify as well :)

Academic STAT401 Hatice Grading

Post image
22 Upvotes

I’m in stat401 with hatice right now and she already has cutoffs in her syllabus. IMO she’s super disorganized and it’s really difficult to follow along in class. Based on the averages, most of the class is doing pretty poorly (quiz 1 avg was 7/10, quiz 2 avg was 5.5/10, exam 1 avg was a 55%). Im wondering if she adjusts her grade cutoffs because based off of the current averages, it seems like a lot of the class is about to fail.

Hello,

This is a long shot, but is anyone taking MATH246 with Antoine Mellet and has the notes for today, 10/20 (chapters 6.4, 6.5, 7.1,7.2) I've taken notes from the pdfs he provides, but his information directly is more useful.

If someone is able to help, thank you so very much!

I'm a senior Electrical Engineer at UMD and have been trying to sort my life out. I have a job lined up after college and secure grad school plans, but don't really know what the next 5 years of my life are supposed to look like.

I was wondering about the experiences of people who'd already graduated. What did the next 5 years of your life look like after UMD?

Discussion I want to make friends here

8 Upvotes

Hey! I saw someone else basically talk about this same thing so it inspired me to make my own! I transferred here last year in the hopes that it would be easier to make friends here, I was unfortunately proven wrong. I do know people here, my bf and his friends and when we all hangout it’s cool but I want my own group of people to hangout with or even chat to, especially on days where he or all of them aren’t here. I joined clubs and things but the clubs don’t fully seem like a space to make friends bc people bring their friends with them and only really interact with their friends. I try to give off as much welcoming energy as I can but it’s to no avail tbh :/. If anyone could suggest anything that would be great, and I’m open to giving additional information if needed as well.

the new rambler apts not even done building n they doing tours…but all their promotion seems to be very consistent aesthetics-wise. like, melanin-wise. am i tripping because we are quiet literally in pg county. this isnt california. i cant wait to see what the makeup ends up looking like bc to target demographics that are willing to pay 2,000 and up for a 4x4 successfully is already hard enough on baltimore ave, but ig they are confident this audience they are promoting to will appreciate the exclusivity, like-minded community rambler offers..according to their promotional material. maybe they’ll even provide free housing the club tennis team!

Help Beginner voice class for actors NOT for acting?

3 Upvotes

Intentionally contradicting title but let me cook.

I came across this response to someone requesting advice on English classes for professional settings for a Korean friend:

He needs a voice class for actors and singers. Teaches enunciation. And facial movement. Body language. Trust me, he will be able to speak the queen's English by the end. I highly suggest everyone take intro to drama. Chorus. Voice lessons. Gives you a better presentation when you speak and move your body correctly. You have no idea how much my dramatic arts background helps me in life. I speak better. I move more deliberately.

I am a non-English speaker early-career whose leadership inclinations are being held back by suboptimal pronunciation, lexicon and intonation. So this out-of-the-box possibility of dipping my toes in drama to hone my language skills slapped my "I'll just get better with time" thinking so hard I felt I spun several times like a cartoon character and fell on my back looking at the blue sky above. I've barely stepped out of strictly STEM involvements during my entire graduate program.

Can I put my UMD privileges to good use for this? I'm looking for extremely hands-on, even workshop-like intro classes to acting, with a strong focus on speech and body/facial language. Not so much interested in very academic courses, i.e. "let's first delve into the history/politics for five weeks".

Also what are your experiences in such courses? What other aspects of your life were improved outside of a career in drama? Could it be worth it for my purposes?
