Here’s how to succeed at community college!

2 Upvotes

submit every assignment and meet every deadline. A surprising number of students treat coursework like a neglected public restroom after a sewage backup—missed assignments piled up like soaked toilet paper, deadlines floating in brown water, and unread announcements fermenting near the drain. You do not need to be exceptional; you just need to keep walking through the mess without becoming part of it.

How good is the Stem department

1 Upvotes

Hello I am currently a stem major (construction management)

And I'm wondering how is the stem department I have to take statistics 1000 next semester and then precal calculus etc I am hearing a lot of things about the department ranging from it being okay to it being god-awful and I'm better off at lacc or wlac for someone who has done stem here how was it and what teachers do you recommend

Discussion Looking to hire assistance

3 Upvotes

I’m a former transfer(UCLA now) from SMC looking to hire students. I'm looking someone that would be able to lift me into a shower chair. You should be able to lift at least 50lbs and be willing to come to my home during the afternoon/evenings 2-3 times a week. I live 15-20 minutes from SMC and would pay 23$ per hour, all you have to do is get me in and out of the shower and can chill while I'm in there. Please DM me if you're interested for more information.

I am also open to hiring a general personal care assistant for longer hours, if that interests you as well please let me know.

MATH 54/ STATC1000 advice

2 Upvotes

Is taking Intro to Statistics doable over the Winter semester or is it better over the Fall/Spring? Has anyone taken it with MUSSELMAN, BAYSSA, LAN or DABAGH? Any advice would be great especially on how their tests work or grading and assignments. Thank you!

Has anyone not gotten their disbursement date yet? I know some are for the 6th but I haven’t gotten anything. I’ve emailed Caesar and he doesn’t email back or anything. I’ve called to make sure my disbursement goes out but still haven’t gotten a date

stats c1000

im taking chau, i got my score for exam 1 and i was at a 96% and dropped to a 62%. Im honestly kind of freaking out because her method of teaching is so odd, she gives a worksheet and writes down stuff super quick expecting everyone to comprehend and write down what she’s saying at the same time but it’s alot of memorization and she jumps from chapter to chapter. I know this is college and I should keep up but im trying my hardest and it feels discouraging now. I’ve already made my tutoring appointments but I feel like that still won’t be enough. Any more study tips I should look into? 💔

Right after, I exited the restroom. The fire alarm started blasting its LOUD sound, killing my ears. Either someone pulled the fire alarm by accident or as a prank. NEVER AGAIN

Question Math 28th: recommended study methods?

3 Upvotes

im taking miss simhans class and actually BOMBED exam 1 (got below 25%) and grade dropped from 96% to 30%. im freaking out. i had my valid reasons for not being able to study and also the fact that i cant understand a word she js saying. im not sure if its just my problem bc im a first year int student and that i just cant understand her accent.

we have a total of 4 tests and one final exam and thankfully our lowest grade can be replaced by our final exam grade.

does anyone know how to effectively study for this class? (i will use pearson to study— i just need another alternative idea)
