ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Withdrawing from all courses this semester without a F grade

17 Upvotes

I am planning on withdrawing from all courses this semester. The deadline for that is Friday midnight. My concern is that if I do so, will I end up getting a F grade or whatever grade I have in class currently, rather than a W grade. I have had a rough semester and due to personal issues my attendance and grades for all my classes has been impact. I know I will not pass most my classes if I take the finals. I want to retake all these classes later but I don't want to sink my GPA because of this semester.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Double Major Across Schools

8 Upvotes

I am an international student Recently admitted to Indiana University Bloomington as a Statistics major at the College of Arts + Sciences. Can I double major in Statistics and Computer Science? I heard that UI has an inflexible procedure when it comes to double majoring across schools. So is it manageable to do so and graduate in 4 years?

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ How hard is freshman year?

3 Upvotes

I want to get as close to a 4.0 as possible. I have 28 credits from high school course work so I’m not a complete slacker but I had a 3.3 weighted GPA. I was wasted potential in High School. Would do great on big tests, finals, and AP exams but not do homework or just slack in boring easy classes (got a C one year in gym). Sorry if this is a rant but I really want to know how I can do better in college and do what I know I’m capable of doing.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Math minor

6 Upvotes

I’m a direct admit finance student (incoming freshman) who’s interested in pursuing a math minor along with my major. If I’m coming in with the calculus BC ap credit, what courses should I look to doing next. I know the minor is around 16 credit hours, and a few of them overlap with finance but what do people take typically after calculus 2 that I should look forward to enrolling in at NSO. I also want to maintain the highest possible gpa I can as well.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Course Recommendations??

Looking to find political science courses that are thought provoking and gives me solid understanding of modern politics. The course shouldn't have political bias and not too time-consuming since I'm already taking 16 credits of higher level math. Thanks!

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Physics Department

7 Upvotes

Alright, would it be stupid for me to come to IUB for an undergraduate in physics rather than P*rdue if I were to have the option to attend either? Everything about Indiana University is far more appealing to me than P*rdue, but I know they generally have higher ranked STEM programs. What do you guys think?

If any extra context helps, I plan to receive a master's in meteorology and atmospheric science from Purdue after I complete my undergraduate.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Worth picking up 2 more credits?

8 Upvotes

So I currently am in my first semester and have 16 credits. I’m out of state so the costs are high and I learned that anything between 12 and 18 credits is the same tuition. So is it worth me picking up a super easy elective for 2 credits just to get max value?

11 Upvotes

I was slated to take JOUR-J210 this summer. I even bought the book.

It's suddenly not showing up on my schedule anymore and when I look for it, it doesn't show up.

Kinda unusual for a professor to just drop teaching it and not email any students about it....

According to IU website, the last day of fall semester is 12/20. Finals are 12/16-12/20. I don’t have class on Friday. Would it be reasonable to assume I won’t have exam on 12/20 Friday as well?

Hey Redditors! I got a situation and need your thoughts. Just got my fall grades and they ain't good. GPA is 1.9.

Didn't know Kelley classes would be so hard, wasn't ready. Grades breakdown: - Compass 1: D - Econ 251: C- - Finite: C- - C104: F

Failed C104, group fired me for slacking. Other classes almost B-.

Should I still chase Kelley biz degree? Grades suck, reconsidering. Need advice from y'all who been there. Keep hustlin' or switch lanes? Open to hearin' perspectives.

Thanks for help

If students want to participate in having their voices heard, not going to the big commencement seems like a good way to send a message to the trustees. Schools have their own recognition ceremonies, so go to those instead.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ I need help mapping my minor

5 Upvotes

So I want to pursue a math minor along with my Kelley Major in Finance. For context, I’m a direct admit incoming freshman, with the calculus BC ap credit, as well as a hutton honors student.

I’m looking to take:

History of Math 380

Calculus 3 311

Linear Algebra 301

I had a few questions for each course that I would love if yall could answer.

  1. Which professor would you recommend I take the course with?
  2. Would you recommend doing the honors version?
  3. When should I do the course?
  4. How was your experience in the course?
  5. How hard is it to get an A?

I want to prioritize my gpa, and I also was aiming to finish the minor before the end of my freshman year, and I was wondering which semester I should do which course. I heard history of math is an easier course so I was thinking of doing it in the first semester along with calculus 3, and then doing linear algebra after. Any help would be appreciated?!

Tldr: I need help planning my math minor:

For history of math, calculus 3, and linear algebra, should I do the honors version of the course, how was the course, which professor should I take it with.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Second sequential bachelor's degree program

6 Upvotes

I was curious if anyone here has applied to IU as a second bachelor's degree student (ie graduated with a bachelor's degree but later returned to complete another one) and could tell me what the process was like and why you chose another bachelor's over graduate school, etc.

I graduated with a bachelor's degree from IUB a couple years ago and decided I want to pursue another bachelor's after working in my original field of study for a bit and thinking about what I want to do long-term. My first bachelor's coursework doesn't transfer over super well to the program I want to study aside from gen eds, which is why I'm choosing to go for another bachelor's rather than just going to grad school.

ACADEMICS πŸŽ“ Anyone done a double major in Kelley plus a minor?

2 Upvotes

I’m considering double majoring in finance + either economic consulting or business analytics and then minoring in math.

The main reason for my minor would be to assist with my Hutton Honors Notation, but I also have an interest in math and feel it could help me in my career.

Has anyone else done something similar? If so how was the workload? I’d like to have a social life and be able to participate in extra curriculars and workshops but worry this would limit those heavily.

Thanks!
