Does the professor curve grades?

I'm feeling very discouraged with this class because I spend 20 hours every week reviewing notes, doing the practice exercises, reading the book. I feel very prepared before taking the exam. However, none of that prepares students for the questions on the exam. They are very different from what we learn. Some of the things we are tested on are not in the book and all we have to prepare for them is 1-2 lecture slides. Many students end up with exam grades below a C.

I understand that the purpose of this is to teach critical thinking and applying principles to distantly related problems, but this is not possible given how dense the material in this course is.

This course does not prepare students for comprehensive/qualifying exams. It causes students to lose motivation to learn.

TL;DR: The material in this class is easy but the lectures/assignments/book do not prepare students for exams.

Or any other instrument. For IU Indy’s JagBand (pep band). We play at most home basketball games. In my opinion, the music we play is really fun. Attendance to all the games is not compulsory, it is very casual. You do not have to be a student. You can be an alumni, faculty, or just a member of the community. Please request to join the Facebook group “IU Indianapolis JagBand” for more information.

hi! me and my roommate live in a 2 bedroom in riverwalk and want to live here over the summer. i called the housing office and they said that the pricing won't be ready until January. we want to get our money right in time but don't know what to save, has anyone lived here over the summer and can estimate what the cost would look like?

This feels like a stupid question but I can park on the weekends with my ST permit right? I’m going to the colts game in a couple weeks with my bf and we were gonna park on campus and uber to Lucas to avoid paying for parking.

Point is can I park w no issues?

Howre the CS courses//CS degree? More specifically the online portion as I'm going to be doing it fully online.

Hi there, I am currently taking a class about global migration, and I have a project where I need to reach out and create an ethnography telling a immigration-related story within our community. I have a friend at the moment who would be willing to try it out, but I would possibly like to have another person to interview if they decide that it is uncomfortable to do. Your identity would be masked, using a pseudonym and nothing would be flag who you are, as I know this is a sensitive subject for most. If you are interested please feel free to PM me :). Thank you!

What was yall stats to get into IUI, im a junior in hs and am gonna apply next year

Howdy, Iowa State student here. Just wanted to warn you that there's a Christian fundamentalist group coming to Purdue and IUPUI October 14-17. They're the being-gay-is-a-sin, it's-women's-fault-for-being-raped type people. They'll yell offensive things in a public space and try to draw a crowd. I'm not going to name them because I don't want to give them a platform.

Dress up as gay Jesus, make out in front of them, counterprotest, whatever you need to do. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Happy coming out day!

Hi, does anyone know the reason that tower is now disallowing ALL pets?? It just seems silly to me.

So uh. Is it actually this common to hear the soccer game loudspeakers from Cavanough?? Our classroom windows are closed, but we’re all just laughing about how clear we can hear everything. lol

Hey everyone, I am an English MA student at IUPUI, and I run the graduate writing accountability group. We meet Mondays, 5-7 pm, and Thursday, 11 am-1 pm, in the library in the graduate commons (4th floor, UL 4115, turn left out of the elevators). I'm hoping to increase engagement with the group by posting on here. If you are a graduate student (or you know a graduate student) who would benefit from this, please send them our way! You can also drop questions or comments down below if you have them. Thanks! -Meg https://liberalarts.indianapolis.iu.edu/programs/uwc/programming-and-services/graduate-write-on-site/ Link for those who are still interested!

I live in a state that does not have a Motorsports Engineering program in any of its colleges. I am trying to find as much info as I can to supplement my education. Will any students in this program send me the ISBN # of the textbooks used for the motorsports based courses? Copies of syllabus? Assignments or projects? Thanks in advance for any help!

does anybody here take the flixbus from indy to milwaukee? how would you rate it?

What's your(or your friends') experience like at the on campus Riverwalk apartments? I'm heading to IUI for grad school in Jan and I'm on a budget, but all the options around campus seem pretty pricey. If anyone's already staying there I would love to chat and ask a few questions.

Let's introduce ourselves and talk about our research! I'll start:

I am a 29 year old lesbian from Kentucky. I'm in my 3rd year and I just passed my qualifying exams. My research is on chromodynamics (strong forces) inside of protons. I am an industry consultant for projects related to this but, ultimately, I'd like to stay in academia as a teaching professor. I did my undergrad at the University of Edinburgh and my masters at New York university. I am involved in student working groups in several conferences in my field and I peer review for their poster sessions.

Questions to get everyone started:

1. How many first author publications have you written?
2. Favorite part of academia?
3. Do you have any other appointments besides being a PhD student?
4. How many programming languages do you know?
5. Have you ever received a grant?
6. How much time to do you reading manuscripts and working?
7. Do you spend a lot of time collecting data?
8. Alternative career if you weren't a phd?

I run hot so I'm sweating as soon as I walk into the building. It's easy for the people who run cold to layer up, but I can't layer down more than I am unless I want to get arrested.

I'm getting really sick of air conditioning. Where's the best place to 10mins or so to get warm? Preferably one that remains warm regardless or weather.

what are the best gas stations near/on campus? just want somewhere not shady since I've noticed indy doesn't have the safest gas stations

Hello, does anyone know if you're required to have a work study for jobs on Handshake that say they're working study eligible? Or is it just that if you do have a work study you can use it for the job?

Hello! Are there printers located anywhere besides computer labs? Looking for one in the Health Sciences building.

Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone could fill me in on how the exam is? My professor is Hong Liu. There is supposed to be a portion of coding and didn’t know what to expect. Freaking out a bit because this class is supposed to be a nightmare. I normally use my book, check my code, and look at examples while I’m coding. Does she grade on a curve? Sorry for all the questions 🤣

Just recently took a job on campus, but personally live on the south side — about 15 minutes from campus, past FS. Anyone seeking a short term room or a part time job checking on my house and animals a couple of days a week?

This would be a good opportunity for someone looking for a quiet place to study, an out of town commuter who needs somewhere be between classes/events… roommate wise this would a single female, no pets, opportunity. I have an older lab mix and two cats who are used to me working remote and extremely affectionate.

Must be reliable, dependable, and able to pass a background check. The house is not spotless, does not have to be. Street parking, open yard, close to parks in an up and coming neighborhood.

I am in the campus center 6 days a week most of the time and would want to have a few conversations first. I work full-time and would need a weekend to get the room move-in ready. My house does have cameras.

Shoot me a message and let’s see what happens.

8am and it says the sports garage is already full with every other garage is at most 30%

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some clarification on where I'm allowed to park with my ST Permit in Blackford garage. Everything online says I should be able to park there, but when I tried parking there today I saw signs saying not to park in BG spots if I have an ST pass. That's fine, but it seemed like to me the BG spots were everywhere? Maybe I didn't look around hard enough or misinterpreted the signs or something, but does anyone know where I'd be able to park there?
