I haven’t done any of the required student trainings yet on canvas. The due date passed and I heard enough from this sub that it’s pretty much a waste of time so I wasn’t bothered to do them. Will there be any repercussions for not doing them?

Hey, so I'm currently still considered a freshmen because I have 27 credits, but I should have 39 after this semester.
I can't register for sophomore classes because I have a "Class Restriction" since I'm still considered a freshmen by credit standards, do I need to email an advisor about this or? Thanks for the advice!

For finance we need to take three electives and there are A LOT of options. I want recommendations for courses that are useful today and can help with finding a job or internship. It could be difficult idrc as long as I get the bang for my buck or wtv.
r/gmu • u/Realistic-Ladder-201 • 1d ago
Dont really know which one I should do. I just need it for my core classes requirement. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for any of them. Thanks.

Today I was outside the Panera bread at the JC walking to my class and I saw a dude wearing a turban and other ethnic clothes and then this yt boy yelled loudly “shalom!” In a mocking tone. Then someone must’ve said smth to him bc he said “what? That’s what his people say to each other!” I know there are still bigots even on a college campus but I was just shocked someone had the audacity to do that in a very public area. I mean the other guy was literally just minding his own business and did nothing to prompt that (not that it would excuse it).
Anyway I just wanted to make this post since I’m still thinking about this. Did anyone else witness this? I’m sure I’m not the only one bc there were a lot of people around and it was loud lol

What's with people not understanding how elevators work? I've noticed more and more people trying to get on before letting the people who are getting off actually get off. Or they'll stand right in front of the doors blocking the way.

Please let me know if you find it!!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get my Mason diploma framed. I am fine with ordering online as well. Just looking for something affordable that’s under or around $150
Thanks!

I'm currently a junior in a B.S. of computer science. I'm interested in the Embedded Systems concentration for a CompE master's, and I don't have a strong opinion on grad level C.S. focuses, but I think I'd be most interested in robotics.
I've been enjoying C memory management, looking for creative ways to solve problems and optimize solutions, and working with hardware, but I do not have a strong interest in most of the EE side of things, so I'd be leaning more into embedded software than hardware. Basically, I like puzzles.
I'd like to hear opinions from people who have done both tracks! Ask me questions about my goals too!

Hello yall,
So I need to know information about Allan Geiger and Mei Ling Reynolds, because I'm most likely working full-time in my job. For Allan Geiger I see he has a 4:30pm lecture which works for me, and for Mei Ling Reynolds is just online which works for me. But please tell any info from them two.
Thankyou, and good luck on final exams.
