I made ratemyprofessors but for classes: Rate My Courses

Hi Everyone,

I have been working for some time now on this website ratemycourses.io and I am really excited to share it with you.

You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in, as well as filter courses by department and level and compare these courses. You can also sort courses by difficulty, usefulness and the overall rating from reviews made by other students. I think if enough people start using it regularly. it's going to be essential when you're choosing your electives or just to get advice on courses you will be taking and know what to expect.

Please let me know if there is anything that I should change or what features I should add.

Lastly, filtering and sorting courses is only gonna be useful and accurate if there are a lot of reviews, so please go ahead and leave some reviews to courses you've taken or are currently taking.

Enjoy!!

Help: Applying here

Hello! I am a senior at a high school in Arkansas. Is this a good school to apply to if I want a career in Computer Science? How is recruiting here from companies like Walmart and others?

And should I be concerned with the low graduation rate?

Ideas for Bachelor Party?

Our friend specifically requested a bachelor party where he and his boys can get out in nature, as opposed to strippers and getting wasted. His best man found a cool AirBnB that’s designed after a hobbit hole (he’s a massive LOTR fan). So I figured this might be an okay place to ask what you might recommend? Hiking trails, river floats, cool sights and whatnot. Lake Dardanelles sounds pretty. Any other must see parks? Also any good eats in Russellville? Should we be supplying our own booze? I might have heard it’s a dry county…

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Where is the best place to sleep on campus?

Fell asleep in the commuters lounge in doc bryan, my arm was really feeling it when I woke up, so I thought “there’s gotta be some place better.” Is there a place better, and if so, where is that place?

From an Upperclassman to our new freshmen: Do avoid Chi Alpha

Congratulations on coming to college, I hope you find yourself growing as a person here. There are a couple of things that many of us wish we knew before we came to Tech, so I'll tell you one of them today. There's a hyper-conservative Christian group at our college called Chi Alpha and I'd recommend you avoid them. They land somewhere around Pentecostal and Church of Christ (in layman's terms, more conservative than even southern Baptist). To our Christian friends reading, I want you to know this a group that represents you poorly and it isn't worth defending. They don't fit the philosophical ideals of love I most commonly see promoted by more moderate churches. Their views on homosexuals is concerning as is their use of "love bombing" tactics. This is the same group that was banned on campus at Hendrix University.

They specifically recruit students who are having a difficult time adjusting to college and take advantage of that by introducing you to their pathology. A pathology that I think is frankly against the ideals of the University as an institution. University is a time to refine your world view and make it more nuanced - not the time for you to join a simplistic ideology.

"Another thing I think should be avoided is an extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one’s mind. ... When you’re young it’s easy to drift into loyalties and when you announce that you’re a loyal member and you start shouting the orthodox ideology out, what you’re doing is pounding it in, pounding it in, and you’re gradually ruining your mind." - Charlie Munger

Thank you for your time.

Discord mainly to make friends and socialize

My bad if this was made but I have this discord server for College Students that just want to make friends, socialize and talk about random things. We try to do fun things like events where we host movie night, karaoke, and games of some sort. We plan to make a Minecraft Server in the near future. We have people that isn't just apart of this college so more friends. Feel free to join and say hi

The WiFi, at least in Brown, is so much worse this semester.

I have been for two year and NEVER had this many issues connecting. I finally bit the bullet and bought an Ethernet cable for my desktop, but the Fire TV Stick I use for my TV is unusable on campus. My phone isn't much better. Neither is my laptop.

ATU Robotics team?

Hey, I'm a freshman here. I used to be in my high school's VEX Robotics team as a notebook keeper and I've heard so much about a VEXU team here at ATU. Even at TechConnect, they talked about the team. I wanted to join, but I haven't had that much luck finding information about the team at all. I've been to the involvement fair, I've looked at bulletin boards, and so on, and I've found nothing so far. It's like they dont exist. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Changes to Wireless and ResNet Network Access for Fall 2019

After receiving feedback in the survey we did at the end of the Spring semester we've made a few changes that we hope everyone will like. Both of these changes were a direct result of the feedback we got so thanks to those who took the time to fill out the survey:

  • We've removed the SafeConnect policy key which was the installer you had to run on Windows and Mac devices after signing in to wireless or ResNet. While the policy key did help us with troubleshooting when students called in with issues and also reminded users when they had incorrect networking settings, out-of-date antivirus, etc we know some users found the policy key to be troublesome. In most cases, antivirus would cause issues with the policy key to run which resulted in SafeConnect prompting the user to install it again in an endless loop.Please remember, each user is still responsible for making sure their network settings are correct, antivirus and operating systems are up-to-date, they're not running prohibited software, etc. Failure to do so may result in network connectivity issues.If you still have the policy key installed from a previous semester, you should be able to uninstall it at any time.

  • We've set up the SafeConnect Self-Service Device Enrollment portal which allows users to enroll their own media and gaming devices. These devices will now have to be enrolled through the portal before they get full network access.Each device will be enrolled for 340 days and each user can enroll up to 10 devices. Windows, Macs, tablets, and phones cannot be enrolled but will still access through SafeConnect like they always have, through the login captive portal (they do not count against the 10 device limit).

Device types that can be registered in the Self-Service Device Enrollment Portal :
Media (TVs, streaming devices, etc.)
Microsoft Gaming Consoles
Nintendo Gaming Consoles
Sony Gaming Consoles
Home Automation (we don't have a category for this yet, however, devices like Amazon Echo or Google Home can still be registered and brought online as "Media" devices for now)

We've been busy this Summer and have more changes to announce as well as some to occur later this year. I wanted to get this information out first though since students will be moving back in this weekend.

Here is a link to the full announcement which also contains links to some helpful KB articles that should help with device enrollment and basic requirements for connecting to the ATU networks:

Welcome back and please feel free to give us any thoughts or comments on these changes below!

dorm life

I’ll be living on campus again in baswell this fall. I had an amazing roommate last semester and she graduated. I’m getting a new roommate and every night before bed I worry she’s gonna get the side of the room with the window. I think i’m a crackhead.

Incoming Freshman, Free Comp 1 Textbook

Welcome to Tech. My first semester I made the mistake of purchasing books instead of just renting. The bookstore wouldn't buy back one of the books I bought, so I thought I'd just give it away to a Freshman.

It's the spiral bound book for ENGL 1013: Composition 1. You'll find it in the "little library" in front of the Education building.

Hopefully I saved one of you 25 bucks, Peace!
