Question about online courses

Does anyone here have much experience with the online classes at UVU? What is the difficulty/structure of the classes like? Are exams administered through a proctoring service?

I’m looking into taking the Financial Management and Business statistics II class.

Transferring to UVU from BYU

Hello everyone! I’m currently a student at BYU, but I’m strongly considering transferring to UVU. Is there anyone here who has done this and can talk about their experience? I’m 25, very casually LDS (go to church every so often, my wife is inactive), have tattoos, didn’t serve a mission, so I’ve often felt like the odd guy out in class. I’ve been disappointed by the quality of a lot of my classes/professors at BYU (very unorganized, some profs not good at teaching), so I’m thinking about going elsewhere. I’m an English major, so I’m looking at UVU’s English program. For any who have transferred, how different were your classes? Harder? Easier? UVU seems to favor nontraditional students (this is my second time going to college) and that is appealing to me.

Any information is very helpful. Thanks!

The Green WiFi Providers

I just moved to The green on campus drive and learned the WiFi here isn’t the best. I’m looking to purchase WiFi with a different provider but I can’t seem to find anyone that will service my area. If anyone has found someone that does work at the green let me know. I’ll most be using it for gaming and schoolwork so I’m looking for around 250+ Mb upload speeds. Thanks

Utah laws on consumption of alcohol in the presence of minors?

So I’m 21 and going to a house party with a friend who is only 20. I’m not buying any alcohol, we’re just drinking whatever is at the party, and we have a sober DD….. if cops were to bust the party, could I be liable for anything? I know Utah is pretty strict on alcohol laws, but I’m applying to law school soon and want to make sure I’m not doing anything illegal lol

Looking for a tutor for ECE-2250 (Circuit Theory)

Hey everyone! =)

I'm looking for a private tutor that has already passed ECE-2250 (Circuit Theory) and has a decent grasp of the material. I've looked on stutor and haven't been able to find anyone. The computer science and engineering lab doesn't have tutors for this class this semester.

I'm willing to pay you hourly for your time. I could pay $25/hr, and I'm hoping for 2-3 hours per week of regularly scheduled time for the next 3-4 weeks at least. Possibly until the end of the semester if it seems to be going well. Mostly I'm looking for someone who's a good listener and able to understand my questions and help me answer them.

Some concepts we've covered already are:

  • Kirchoff's Laws
  • Node Voltage Analysis (and special cases)
  • Mesh Current Analysis (and special cases)
  • Resistivity
  • Delta-to-Y & Pi-to-T conversions
  • Thevenin and Norton equivalent representations of circuits
  • Maximum Power Transfer

If you're interested and capable of tutoring for those topics, please send me a DM or reply to this post!

Get out

Reminder: if you’re sick and coughing up a lung in class, please don’t come :)

You idiotic selfish baby :)

Thanks :)

Edit: or at least wear a mask, I’m begging

The amount of people on this post that think it’s okay to come to class on their death bed is disappointing

I got my general studies done at USU about 6 years ago, I’m living back in Utah County and looking at going back to school at UVU.

I plan on only taking 4-6 credits worth of classes each semester, as I need to work full time to keep my health insurance and I prefer to keep a good work-life balance. I’m in no rush to complete a degree as I still have no idea what I want to do. What are some good classes that can be taken online or only require in person attendance twice a week? I’m interested in languages (particularly Spanish, German, and French), digital media production (specifically photography and video editing), and cinema studies. I’d also like to take outdoor recreation, theatre classes for voice acting, ceramic making, and culinary classes for fun if I can find the time for them.

Parties?

I know it’s Orem and there’s a large population of LDS but are there any house parties going on? I know there’s some at the Axis but I heard they end at 12…

Please help, my friends and I are trying to get more involved in the party scene but most of them have shifts that last until 11.

DO NOT live at Village on the Parkway 🚩

Lived there last school year, and I actually had an ok time living there as far as roommates, socializing, and amenities go. HOWEVER: management sucks, does not have your best interest in mind, communicates poorly, always has issues with the bus or clubhouse, and will take as much money from you as they can.

I renewed my lease for the 2024-2025 school year. I ended up transferring to USU and moved out of VOP in May this year. I had a very lovely girl take over my lease and was under the impression that both contracts (meaning the rest of my 2023-2024 lease and my renewed lease) were sold to the new girl. She nor the office gave me any reason to believe otherwise. I got a single email from the office saying "if you're getting this email it means your lease has been sold and your move out date is May 1st".

Come August, I got an email from VOP that my move in date was coming up. I definitely thought it was a mistake so I immediately emailed the office on August 9th and explained that I sold my lease so I shouldn't be getting move in emails.

No response.

Called them, straight to voicemail.

Finally, they responded to a lengthy email I sent them about my frustrations and why I was so confused that I was getting late rent notices for August. Turns out, my 2024-2025 lease was not transferred to the new girl and they failed to tell me that in any way. The new girl only took the remainder of my summer lease despite leading me to believe she was going to take both contracts. I had back and forth emailing with them (even requesting to speak to a further up manager with Redstone which they ignored) just to be told that they needed to consult with the owner about my request to cancel any future charges. So I waited for another two weeks to get a final consensus.

Now, in the middle of September, I received an email today that they will cancel my lease as of October due to miscommunication on their part but that I'm responsible for $1015 of rent between August and September. DESPITE being in contact with them about this issue since AUGUST 9TH.

🚨Scammy company, do not rent from them or any Redstone property. I'm not the first person to have issues with VOP and will not be the last. Terrible business practices that screw over vulnerable college students. 🚨

Please let us crush BYU--voter registration

BYU is trying to win the "Campus Cup" for most voter registrations.

If UVU students register here: https://secure.utah.gov/voterreg/index.html?fromLocation=uvu

We could probably beat them, because most of their students are from out of state. Maybe share this link with everyone you know?
