OSU HR Employee

Hello! I’ll be starting at OSU soon. After WFH for nearly 5 years, I have no idea what a place like OSU HR considers appropriate for dress code. Will this be like going back in time - suits, jackets, dresses? Hoping that OSU gear and jeans are OK… I prefer casual comfortable clothing.

Former Biochemistry Alumni, How can I further help here?

I have been noticing frequent posts about Biochemistry, organic chemistry and physics. Is there a Reddit group or somewhere else I can join to further help on these subjects remotely? I would like to help some of our fellow buckeyes breathe easier through these subjects, but I cannot come directly back to Ohio State, as I am busy with my own career at another university for my Masters.

Why were there so many cops on campus ?

I noticed 3-4 Columbus PD cars parked by the smith lab area and a whole bunch of OSU police cars circling around campus. Does anyone know what that was about ?

Ryan Day is Overpaid

He gets paid $9.5 million a year and lives in a $2.2 million dollar mansion in Delaware. How is he worth this much when he can't even beat an unranked Michigan at a home game? I know there are multiple people who are to blame for last weekend, including Chip Kelly, but you would think he would do better after three straight losses in a row. 7-0 to 1-4, what a downgrade.

C in Intro to Engineering

So I'm coming to the end of my first semester and neglected my Intro to Engineering class (1100). I don't know why but for the first couple months I thought that the class wouldn't be graded and was just there to guide me through how the engineering program worked at OSU. I still did the assignments but turned a couple assignments in late. I am now looking at the grades section and am seeing that I have a 73% in the class, which I'm assuming means that this class will affect my GPA. I was wondering if there is any way to drop this class or to use grade forgiveness? Also how will this affect my chances of being accepted into the CSE program? I already applied and was going to receive a decision in December.

Yes I know this is a silly mistake considering the class is easy but I guess I put in more effort for my other classes and didn't think this class would be important. I would appreciate any advice.

Aside from proctored exams and asking your professor questions, does anyone really "need" to go to a lecture? What majors are low on necessary lectures?

For over a decade now I've been wanting to rise up and go to school. Finally make it big with a proper career. But aside from the cost, the main problem was time. How could I go to class while also working full time? Might be nice if all my classes were online, but I find that's not always something you can swing. And if you can, it's supposed to be a lot harder to do online classes. It's supposed to be easier when you go to the lectures.

Until I saw this funny sketch and it got me thinking "Oh yeah, lectures can be recorded." And mandatory lectures suddenly start look like mandatory return-to-office orders for remote jobs. Maybe a relic we've moved past? Yes, there are still proctored exams you have to take. And if I'm having trouble grasping the material and need to ask clarifying questions, that's probably easier done in person than by email. But outside of that...

Anyway, what I thought/hoped was that if online classes weren't an option I could take classes that aren't technically "online," but have their lectures posted to Canvas so they're online in everything but name. Is that a reliable strategy at OSU? Maybe for some majors more than others?

RA's at OSU, how much work do you guys actually do on a weekly basis?

I want to be an RA but I very much like playing video games in my free time. How exactly does being an RA work? Are there moments where you have to go do things without any notice at all? Someone said something to me about there being like "shifts" and what exactly goes on during that time. Also, are there like weekly meetings you have to go to as well? Thanks!

Being Black at OSU (Little incident at the OSU vs Michigan game)

This was around 12:30 p.m. I bought my tickets to the game last minute, and I was in section 39B, row 9, seat 10. There were people around in my reserved seat. I kindly told them that this was my seat and they should make room, but they refused and told me there were no assigned seats. I told them that this was my reserve seat and I would stay there and they could move. They proceeded to call the security guard on me, making me prove I was in the right spot. I did prove I was in the right spot. And I told the security guard it was only fair that everyone else who accused me of being in the wrong seat to also prove they were in the right spot. None of which, could not because they were in the wrong seat. I told them this was blatant discrimination and they laughed knowing what they did was wrong. These were Ohio state students behaving in such a manner. One of them mouth to me "f--- you ni---" I was honestly disgusted and sick. And was made to move to a different seat, because I literally started breaking down. It made me more sad because I could tell on their faces that they enjoyed it. They had such a smug look on their face. The enjoyed exerting their entitlement and r**** on to me.

How can I apply for the job of looking after the delivery robots? Is that available for students?

I like those robots and i feel that working with them would be fun I'm planning to get a new job next semester so I'm considering working there. What's your advice? Is that hard? How much do they pay per hour?
Also, are there any other on campus jobs you would recommend?
Thank you for any kind responses!

Removing OSU from my iPad?

Hey all, I transferred to Ohio State a few years back while they were still doing the digital flagship program and received an iPad. I’m graduating in a few weeks and would like to remove OSU management from my iPad. Apparently there was an email sent out about how to do this, but I never managed to come across it. Does anyone know how to remove the management or who I can contact to remove it for me?

Would they take me inside the stadium? Not even on the field, just in the seating?
