1530 MATH/Statistics is kicking my butt

Hello everyone. I am currently enrolled in the University of Memphis trying to get my degree in psychology and currently right now I am taking an online stats class 1530 because it's a requirement and I freaking hate it. I am so worried that I will not pass this class. Has anyone else had trouble with stats and how did you overcome it?

Is college supposed to be this depressing?

Basically what it says on the title. Is school supposed to be this depressing? Should I just drop out at this point? Sorry I'm not giving too many details. I'm a senior. On top of working I'm always swamped with schoolwork so I don't have time for much else besides sleeping and maybe eating. Id take less classes but then I won't graduate on time. Financial aids a joke. Financial aid has always been a joke. And if I don't graduate next semester the only other out I see is driving my car into the Mississippi river.

Is a UofM degree respected?

This might seem like a silly question but I really want to know. I’m thinking about going to Memphis for my psych undergrad (I’m a senior in high school) before pursuing a masters and doctorate. The people at my high school seem to look down on Memphis but from what I’ve seen it’s an excellent school especially for the field I want to go into and believe that my classmates are simply uneducated on it.

What opinions do you guys have about attending here vs another university? Is a degree from here respected as it would be any other school or would it hinder my chances of getting into a doctorate program vs if I went to another school?

I really love Memphis and both my mom and brother went here as well as some of my teachers who all enjoyed it and tbh I don’t get why my classmates are saying what they are based off the research I’ve done on this school.

UofM Global (online) BA in Psychology program - questions

Hi, I'm considering transferring from UTK online to UofM's Global / online BA in Psychology program. I started studying Information Science, hoping to get into User Experience, but since becoming a tutor, I've found I love working with students. I'd love to get into admissions, advising, student support, etc., and Psychology aligns more closely with this goal.

I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with the Global / online Psychology program. I have several questions, and I don’t expect anyone to answer all of them, but I appreciate any input—even if it’s just 👍 or 👎!

  1. What are your thoughts on the curriculum and faculty?
  2. How are the support services for online students? Are they effective in meeting student needs?
  3. I’ve heard many courses are offered through TN eCampus, which includes students from colleges across the state. Is it true that most of these courses are hosted by community colleges? If so, how do you think this impacts the quality of the courses?
  4. How helpful is Career Services for online students? Are there internship opportunities online?
  5. Are there opportunities for online students to network with faculty or peers?

Thank you so much for any input you can share!

Brashier - Decedent’s Estates UM Outline

This is a long shot, but does anybody from the law school have an outline for Brashier's Decedent's Estates class? He's a visiting professor at my school this year and we're struggling a little - love him, he's just flying through material.

Looking for people to rent out a 4bd/3ba home with me and another roommate near University of Memphis. There are two bedrooms available! One has a private bathroom for $625 and the other is a similar sized room with the bathroom in the hallway for $575.

We're in a safe neighborhood, there's a w/d in unit, covered garage for parking, dishwasher, AC, two stories, it's a very chill house! I'm a grad student studying music and my roommate is also a young professional, we are looking for other students or young professionals but are open to any situation honestly! Move in date is ASAP, if you move in during September we will pro-rate that month.

DM or comment if you're interested! We're looking to fill the rooms ASAP!

PHD funding

Hello everyone,

I have been accepted to Uofm for PHD in CS for spring 2025 as a international student. But, there is no mention of any funding in my acceptance letter.
I have contacted department for funding opportunities and reply is yet to come.

What is the process of funding a PHD program? How likely it is that I will be provided with any TA or RA or any other form of funding??

Transferring

Hey all,

I’m currently a freshmen at UT in Knoxville. I applied to a number of schools (including the U of M) and received a pretty decent scholarship to attend Memphis in the fall. However, since I’m currently attending UTK, I declined the scholarship offer.

If I were to hypothetically transfer next year (for the fall of 25) would I receive decent scholarship offers as a transfer student too. I’m not familiar with the transfer process but am a bit curious.

Searching apartment for upcoming semester

A friend of mine is in need of an apartment for her senior year of college. She's a very neat, and quiet roommate. You'd barely notice she's there at times and would prefer one close to campus if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated 👏.

Start a dodgeball team today!

Hello!

My name is Pryce and I am the founder and president of the Ole Miss dodgeball team. We compete in the southern region of the NCDA (National Collegiate Dodgeball Association) and wrapped up year one as a success!

As we start year two we are looking for more teams to join the league and spice up the competition! A local rival like Memphis would bring a lot to the league and it’s a short commute for games!

If you’re interested, we are hosting a tournament on October 12th and would love to help a current student set up a team! So please shoot me a message.

The NCDA can also be found on Instagram under the same handle.

Long shot, but does anyone know a Blake who's trans with two cats?

Part two of my roommate but now potentially friends too search haha. I found this super cool looking person on a roommate website and he looks like an awesome person to be friends or maybe roommates with, but in order to message him id have to pay 30 dollars... Just asking around cause I couldn't find him on social media, but if you know him I'd love to say hi

Also found a picture of him but that seems a bit invasive to post on here

Call for Participants: "Space Race" Game Research Study

Hi Reddit,

We are a group of investigators from the University of Memphis conducting a research study on learning behaviors related to motivations and goals in video games. The goal of the study is to examine the relationship between motivations/goals and practice, repetition, and performance in a casual online racing game called Space Race.

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to visit a website on your personal computer or laptop, fill out a pre-questionnaire on Qualtrics, play the game at least 10 times (about 4 minutes per session), and fill out a post-questionnaire on Qualtrics.  During the game, you will be asked to share your game screen and enable your camera and microphone so that your eye gaze, expressions, and vocalizations can be captured. When you choose to stop playing the game, the screen sharing, microphone, and camera recordings will terminate.  You can choose to perform these activities at any time during a one-week period. The entire study will take about an hour of active participation.

You must have access to a personal computer or laptop with a camera, be 18+ years of age, be proficient in English, and be a currently enrolled student. You will receive a $10 Amazon gift card after completing the study. If you have any questions about volunteering for the study, please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Brandon M. Booth (bmbooth@memphis.edu) or post them here.

If you would like to register to participate in our study, please fill out this form: https://memphis.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_2tQjJPd6cpprrqm.  We will contact you soon!

IRB: PRO-FY2024-492

Edit: Registration is now closed. Thank you all for your interest in this study! We will reach out to everyone who filled out the survey in the coming day or two.

Name is wrong

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as me. My legal name is MaryGrace, but when I submitted my application for UofM, I put my preferred name as Tobias. Since then, I have tried to change my preferred name back to my legal name, to avoid any future misunderstandings. I thought that it was done, but I keep getting emails addressing me as Tobias, despite being told I don’t have a preferred name on file. If anyone could help that would be great.
