ccjs100 vs 105?

I’m kind of conflicted because while ccjs105 is more of my interest (behaviors of crime, causes, etc), the reviews for Price are kinda worrying as a whole. Meanwhile ccjs100 has a better professor, Madoo but it’s not as interesting to me (still interesting bc i eventually want to double major with ccjs). What do you guys recommend?

UMD announces annual two-day fall break for students

UMD will implement an annual two-day fall break for students starting next academic year, according to a campuswide email sent Monday.

Students’ break will take place on the second Monday and Tuesday of each October. That Monday aligns with Indigenous People’s Day and Columbus Day, according to the email.

Staff and faculty will observe Indigenous People’s Day and Columbus Day on the second Monday in October. Operations will resume as normal on Tuesday, but no classes will take place, the email said.

The new break is a result of a yearslong effort and conversations with community advocates and student groups, the email said.

How many seats will THET251 have + fall and spring section seats

I’m trying to take this class for next semester and it only had 12 seats open for the section I want and they’re all taken. Will more seats open up or am I just cooked?

Another question I have is: if a class I’m looking at has a certain amount of seats open for a section in spring(let’s say 25) and in the fall, that same section has 35 seats open. Is it guaranteed that the spring section will eventually open up to have 35 seats open as well or will it just stay at 25?

When you are having the busiest week of your life and DOTS hits you with the mandatory relocation

Give me a break - it’s almost finals week. I already had to move my car for our 1-8 football team and don’t wanna move my car for the basketball team too and walk across campus while its cold as balls.

Over $3000 spent for DOTS to kick me while im down for 4 years.

Application Portal Question

Has anyone ever had any issues with nothing showing up in the portal? The portal only shows my high school as the only institution attended. In addition, I had a letter of recommendation submitted and received at the end of October that is not showing up. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Skipping Intro to Proofs?

I'm an incoming math transfer student for Spring 2025. I have A's from an in-state CC in Calculus 1-3, and Linear Algebra.

I saw UMD's Math department's policy of being able to skip MATH 310 if you have A's in Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra. Would this be wise though? Are there any upper level math courses, such as MATH 403 that anyone recommends as a first true proofs course if I plan to skip the intro?

I'm also debating taking MATH 310 and another upper division math course next semester, I just want to keep pushing through the math degree.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated, thank you!
