People are reporting seeing this unmarked car multiple days on campus. Campus PD were notified, and the reporting party witnessed the vehicle shift toward the back of the lot when they realized they were being watched. This same reporting part has been seeing them since Thursday of last week.

The reporting party stated that there is a man in what looks like uniform and a laptop. Older. Not a cop uniform, no license plates. No X on the door to prove it’s an auctioned cop car, no lights, no dh placard. Hopeful it’s nothing, but seeing all the stuff going on, it best to have PD know and check them out, rather than risk anything. So if you see them, please report to PD or parking services

Hi any of y'all know about the free tax filing for students. I have two years I need to do lol and I'm not trying to pay . They always take a lot away from for just filing which sucks. Any info is appreciated. Have a great day y'all 😊.

Hey, so I’m my fifth year and I never done a 1098T form what would happen is if I did ?

Hey, so I’m my fifth year and I never done a 1098T form what would happen is if I did ?

I made a current list of professors you should take and some that you should avoid. I might update the list should anything come up, unless Reddit no longer lets me update the list, I'll make a new subreddit on here. (Note: If I know something good or bad about each professor, I'll note it down too as some fellow classmates have given me information based on their teaching styles).

• Professors you should take:
• Brighu Celly - (Hands down the best professor in the Computer Science department. He would go out of his way to help out his students).
• Mahbubur Khan - (For his online Physics 100 class, he only grades quizzes and online discussion posts. He also grades a report based on the Griffith Observatory).
• Nidhi Tilak - (CSC 121/123 - She doesn't use material from the given textbooks for exams).
• Jason Halasa - (CSC 255 - His exams were take-home, and unfortunately, his class is no longer a requirement based on what Rosenthal told me).
• Jim Prior - (He's alright, but sometimes doesn't explain a certain topic correctly).
• Jim Hill - (If you do bad on the final, he curves your final grade at the end of the semester).
• Kami Ariheshmat - (CTC 228 - During lectures, he goes over what material will be on the exams. He also let's you use a single cheat sheet).
• Garrett Poppe - (He does not tolerate cheating of any kind since he lets you use the textbook for the exams, mainly for CSC 301. Within the online course, he makes you do group discussions where your whole group has to come to a consensus, and if a student or more in your group fail to provide one, he doesn't make a big deal about it. GOOGLE DOCS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR HIS ONLINE 301 CLASS).
• Juan Leon - (CSC 123 - he's chill but he won't curve you for the final, so if you get at least a 64.5% on the final, he'll fail you, so try and go for a 65% or higher).
• Malcolm McCullough - (Careful for any typos on his coding projects as he suffers from Dyslexia. Overall, pretty chill guy. For CSC 251, Midterm and Final are all online and he doesn't proctor you).
• Rudy Perez - (Makes his classes easier for his students, and textbooks are not a requirement for any of them. He's always open to answer any questions you have for him).
• Sanaz Rahimi Moosavi - (She truly cares about her students by asking if they understand the material and will go over it if anyone gets lost within the lectures and is also truly patient. She also provides extra credit opportunities).
• Sahar Hooshmand - (Provides programming materials and her notes on canvas that you can go over and study for, which would help you on exams).
• Alireza Izadoost - (Teaches the lectures coherently and tells you the material will be hard to learn, but it really isn't. He also does live demos for certain topics).
• Ali Jalooli - (Jalooli teaches the material clearly and profound without any problems. He also gives you an extension on some exams based on your current situation).
• Bin Tang - (Commitment to his lectures is a must since you have to try and work hard for your grade. He offers extra credit opportunities and is always open to answering any questions you have).
• Hardipinder Uhbi Singh - (Sometimes might get on you for doing something wrong, but he doesn't make it a big deal as he comes and helps you out. Although he recently got his Master's in Cybersecurity and has earned his teaching credential, he kinda takes time trying to engage students. Overall, really chill guy).
• Amlan Chatterjee - (You will learn a lot from his lectures, and he grades based on your coding skills. Doing your own research and learning by example is highly recommended).
• Jessalyn Bolkema - ( If you hate math, she'll make it easier for you to study it. She teaches the material straightforward, and her 5 writing assignments are easy that she would use real life examples).
• Kristen Stagg - (She makes the lectures fun as she doesn't make it too hard for students to learn the material and actually engages with the class herself. You have to put in the work to pass her classes as she does her best to help you understand the concepts better.)
• Gia Nguyen - (really nice guy, he goes over the material and would make his own notes students can use. Reach out to him and he helps you out with any problems you have with the materials. His practice exams are identical to the actual exams he gives out to students, making them easy to pass).
• Marsa Rayani - (No reason as of now).
• Terence Lomheim - (His exams are hard, but everything else is done online, so you can ace his Physics class with an easy A).
• Horace Crogman - (His Physics class is all online, and he gives you a week to turn in homework. He may sometimes go off-topic about things and can be political, and if it's something you don't really care about, then it's an Easy A).
• Howard Rosenthal - (Assignments are due by 9:00PM. For his classes, you truly have to work hard for your grade as he even provides exams from past semesters. Exams are done on paper, and not on computer, so be aware of that. Howard’s not bad, just be on his good side and you'll be fine. Also likes to crack a joke or two during lectures).
• Avoid these professors AT ALL COSTS!:
• Marek Suchenek - (Was the worst as he would talk about politics that have nothing to do with Computer Science. Would e-mail students about someone else's opinion he didn't like. He also one time called the police on a student for not agreeing with their opinions. Suchenek later retired, so you don't have to worry about him).
• Mehrdad Sharbaf - (Reason: I heard that he makes the classes boring and the exams don't reflect on what he covered in his lectures, powerpoints, books, etc. He would also delete the final labs and assignments which one time resulted in a student's grade going from an A- to a C. The student sent him an e-mail as to why their grade was dropped, but he never provided an answer).
• Jianchao "Jack" Han - (Reason: He doesn't help students at all with homework assignments and exams. But doesn't care that you even cheat or anything, so there's that).
• Brad Hollister - (Reason: He made students ask another student for help on the final project. He goes on tangents that make lectures boring).
• Ha Nguyen - (Reason: Her lack of communication is the worst that a student had to go at it with her due to her constant grading mistakes).
• Serban Raianu - (Reason: Doesn't try explaining the material properly and goes over it too fast. Very condescending when you either ask questions or don't understand the material. He'll also call you out if you don't stay focused. He'd also think you're cheating if you teach yourself the material).
• Carla Gorbea - (Reason: It's been rumored, but she would make students feel as if they should know the material already and would berate them for either asking questions or not getting anything right. You'll have to study on your own if you take her classes).
• Apostol Gramada - (Reason: His Physics exams are based on the homework assignments, yet he doesn't go over a single one. Doesn't provide any feedback on exams).
• Ed Gomez - (Reason: A friend of mine took him for CTC 316 and although he completed all of his assignments, Ed didn't count them due to not keeping up with Canvas himself, and gave my friend a lower grade, making him having to retake the same class again).
• Liudong Zuo - (Reason: He would grade assignments based on his moods instead of actual correctness and accused one of his students of plagiarism that they had to retake CSC 281 again, despite the fact that the student had proof that the assignments were done the way he wanted them. In his own words: "70% percent of students fail this class").
• Edgar Perez - (Can be passive aggressive and is also nitpicky on how you do the exams, which his classes are heavy on. The only way you can make up your grades is by doing the presentations.)

I’ll update the list if anything comes up, unless Reddit no longer lets me update it, then I’ll make a new list on the CSUDH subreddit.

If you have any other questions, leave a comment down below! I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

Hey everyone, I just found out I’ve been accepted into CSUDH’s 2 year MSW program! If anybody else is planning on accepting their admission, maybe we can get a cohort discord going?

so i’m transferring from a community college with an english ADT degree to csudh. i’m now interested in switching my major to business administration with a concentration in accounting. i start this fall 2025. is it possible to start csudh as a transfer as a completely different major?

I just submitted my application for the MFT program at csudh . I am a bit nervous since I already got rejected at CSULB . Anybody in the program know the chances of getting accepted ? How many people were in the interview? How many got accepted ? Please let me know . Freaking out

i’m sorry for grabbing your ice water, i thought it was the one i ordered but i saw the empty cup that the guy put down for me after i grabbed it and took a sip☹️

I pressed the back button once and now this won’t go away, is there any solution to this cuz I can’t login to canvas

hello everyone, i was recently admitted to csudh for fall 2025 and this is the school im most likely going to!

i will be a cls major so i am excited, but i was wondering if i should dorm or commute from long beach? i don't currently live in long beach, but i used to and i have family down there so that was my original plan, but i also heard mixed things about the dorms there. i have a friend on campus and she's not liking dorming, so i wanted to know some feedback!

also, does anyone know about the ca promise program? i put that i would like to do that on the csu application, but i am wondering if i will get more information soon or if i have to wait till i graduate high school. ive heard that the classes that cls majors have to take have really long waitlists, so does anyone know if this program will ensure that i can get into these classes/graduate on time?

also, if there is anyone else who is planning to attend for fall 2025 as a cls undergrad/freshman i would love to chat! thanks guys~

Where can I go or who can I talk to about my parking pass? I ordered mine 1/16/25 and I haven’t received it and tomorrow is the last day for my temporary Pass and my parking pass hasn’t been delivered any way I can speak to someone thank you in advance

Does csudh have any routes to become an RN? im debating withdrawing from here and going to LVN school and become an LVN then an RN. But i also might as well go for RN now since that is te goal. tbh im not really knowledgeable about the steps but i do want to be an RN. And as i am currently enrolled here, maybe theres a program. I only saw a RN- BSN program which obv requires an RN license. ty

Hello all!

I am working on my dissertation project and would appreciate anyone who has 15-20 minutes to complete my survey. The qualifications for my survey are that you are at least 18 years or older, an undergraduate student, and identify with the Latinx community. At the end of completion, there is an opportunity to enter a raffle for an Amazon gift card.

Here is the link https://alliant.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_82oVyhwq33bLDWC

I’m transferring to CSUDH in Fall 2025, and I’m debating between two programs which are BS in IT or BA in computer technology. Is anyone currently in either of these programs? If so, how are they? Do they have good professors? How’s the study material?

So are we screwed? :/

For some reasoni still have to pay for my Fall 2024 tuition even though I got no notifications about it and I finished my classes and passed them. I was thinking it might be a Fafsa problem. Has anyone expreinced this before and please help me?

Has anyone had their loan approved yet? This is my first time taking one out so I don't know how long the wait process is and they weren't really helpful in the financial aid office. I did complete everything needed for the loan !

not really an update but everything needed for the loan has been filled out since jan 16th. but because of recent news I don't know when I will get it but thank you!

How’s the physics department at this school??

Hello! I'm considering dropping one of my classes-- will this look bad on my record? Online I saw it said "A class dropped on or before this date will be retained on your academic record with a status of dropped."

Also, will I still be able to receive a refund for the class?

Thanks!

Like the title states, my financial aid covered my entire tuition cost and left my balance on "0" a couple days ago. I check my student center today and a new $1200~ charge has been added on to my account. I know my tution was covered, I even recieved a refund. Checking the "activity" tab on my student center yields no results on what this mysterious charge may be. Has anyone experienced this issue or know what this charge is for and why it's being charged and if it's being charged now why did my financial aid not cover it?!

Anyone have any rec on what professor/ class to take for this requirement? Basically an easy A online class, if there is one?

Hi yall! I recently got admitted as a transfer student for Fall 2025!

I have yet to see any info on child dev. majors for CSUDH. What has been your experience with the child development department? Professors? I see a lot of mixed reviews based on socialization or the school itself being a "ghost town". Tbh, the non-socializing aspect does not bother me as I just want to be in and out with my bachelors! I just wanted to get a feel for what to expect within the department/professors/ school resources/library atmosphere.

Thank you for reading!
