Welcome to the George Mason University Reddit community!

Has anyone tried this? All of the Chem 213 labs are with Fayissa (or don't say an instructor), and I'm taking Qadri

Hello, I finally got into Mason Can someone help me with securing a scholarship for my graduate studies?

I recently received a letter from GMU regarding the 2025 Game & Technology Academy, which is something I'd definitely be interested in, but I've never heard of GMU until I received it and I never gave any of my details to anybody associated with them. None of my friends interested in development have received this and my family has no clue what it's about. Is it a scam? Does this sound abnormal? I'm not going to respond to this letter until I've got solid confirmation that this is a real thing and is normal of them to do. Thank you all in advance!

Hey!

Looking to see if anyone is selling their old cap & gown, looking to buy for the upcoming graduation.

Which program is the better choice when perusing a career in IT cybersecurity? GMU is the significantly cheaper option for me but I have heard great things about VT’s program as well. GMU is close to the DC area so I assume there are more options for year round internships. I want to know what you guys think is the best option and the pro’s and con’s of GMU’s program. I understand from a social aspect both schools are very different from each other but I am honestly only concerned on which program is better to setup a successful career in IT cyber.

Hi does anyone have a syllabus or something for a past Painting 1 class? If it's with Professor Yi that's even better. I just want to know what supplies I might need and what the projects are lol. Thanks

Hi everyone. Yesterday was the grading deadline for all Incomplete work from summer and spring. Last Friday was the deadline for students to submit the work from these classes, meaning that professors had a week to grade and re-submit grades. I received the temporary Incomplete grade for a 1 credit lab section I took over the summer and couldn’t finish for reasons outside of my control. I had communicated with the professor about my circumstances. I finished as much of the work as I could and let my professor know last week as the student deadline approached. I didn’t hear back from my professor at all. I sent a message again yesterday asking if the professor had received my submissions for the course. No response. I checked PatriotWeb about an hour ago because I know it updates overnight— I received an F in the lab section. Not only is this bad for my GPA, but I am supposed to graduate next semester. I am an independent student supporting myself and I cannot reasonably do well in 16 credits including a lab section. I specifically enrolled in the course over last summer because it was online and an easy way to fill my natural science with a lab requirement.
I’m honestly infuriated because I did communicate with the Professor ahead of time. I did complete my outstanding assignments before the deadline. And now I have an F on my transcript and a dip in my GPA through no fault of my own. If anyone has been through a similar situation and has any guidance, I would appreciate it immensely. Thanks

if that helps Iam doing pre med so I will need to get a good grade in this class and as far as I checked they all have similar ratings on rate my professor

I am considering taking the solar system (astr 111 and the lab 112) because I need a lab science and love learning about space, but I am HORRIBLE at math, like, barely passed algebra and geometry bad. How much if any math is needed for this course? Thanks!

Currently I’m in calc 2 and have a bad grade in my recitation class. Does the recitation class affect my gpa in any way?

Currently planning classes for the spring and I was wondering about y'alls experience with the chem professors at Mason? Were they clear in explaining the concept? I always hear about Mason's chem department/professors being trash, so I also wondering if it would be better to take CHM 111 (equivalent to CHEM 211 and CHEM 213) at NOVA? I'm not afraid of the work load or the subject in general - just want to get the most out of the class.

Hey, I'm a math major with a concentration in Data Science. I'm required to pick one of these classes and I don't know what to do. I'm going to be taking this with three other high-level math courses so I'm looking for something really easy. Hopefully with short assignments and/or little studying. Thanks.

Hello I need an extra ticket for the degree celebration for CLS, I’m willing to pay if anyone has one! Someone please come in clutch cause I have family flying into town 😭

Has anyone taken these courses and have decent notes they can share? Im willing to pay for good notes.

Hii how did yall get the scholarship? Did u go test optional?? Any help is appreciated!

Is it normal to have no professors assigned by the time registration starts? I’m signed up for BUL 303 and I’ve noticed none of the classes (in person or online) have any professors assigned.

Since spring is my last semester, I still need 3 classes 300 or above. It doesn't have to be major specific, since I have completed all those requirements. Which classes would you recommend to take that are 300+?

Hey y’all, I know this might cause some people to get a bit annoyed or mad but tbh we all make mistakes and I have to ask. If you get referred to the office of academic standards and you plead in violation will they lighten the punishment or is it the same as fighting it. Also what is a letter grade reduction, is that like B+ to a C+ because if so that’s along the lines of what I assumed it was. Anyways if anyone’s been through something like this and can leave some info I really do appreciate it.

I’m gonna be so real with y’all. You looked like you were having the time of your fucking lives out there and I was immediately jealous. I have to ask— is this a club? The reason I assumed it was anime related was because of the cosplays but I know it could’ve also just been a Halloween thing.

How hands-on is the curriculum for this major? Is most of it theory or do students get to work with things like firewalls or VMware or learning how to configure routers and switches

Did anyone get pictures/videos of those people with the Biden cutout and secret service detail in Wilkins Plaza/the JC?

The options are Gorbutt, De La Pena, Carchedi, Bray, Toala-Enriquez, Lawrence

I was leaning De La Pena bc I had him for Calc 3 and he was good, but his reviews on RMP for 125 specifically aren’t that good.

Dude, wtf is this mess? A class you should be taking by your fourth semester at the latest is already full after senior registration! It had like 20 seats left just last night. How are there so many seniors who haven’t completed more than half of their major’s courses? This should be criminal.

Hey, so I am about to go into the Computer Engineering program at Mason and ideally I don’t want to buy a laptop. My plan is to get a Mac Mini and use my Apple Vision Pro as a display. Do we think that is something that would be feasible? Would I face problems from professors or TAs?

Registered today, but what are the chances I get off this waitlist. Need this class to graduate ;-;
