I just got accepted into Mays and was thinking of majoring in MIS. I see people online giving mixed reviews. If there are any past or current MIS majors, could you please inform me whether there are adequate internship and job opportunities, whether there would be enough time for a computer science minor along with the major, and whether it is a better alternative to the itsv major?

I’m a grad student currently facing a tough situation with my professor, and I could really use some advice. In a recent assignment for CSCE class related to LLMs , I created a solution that met all the requirements using modularized Python scripts, run through a Jupyter notebook, and generated an HTML report to make the grader’s life easier. I received unfair grade in my opinion and the grader was not accessible. So, I tried to contact the professor. However, when I met with my professor to discuss the grade, things went south quickly.

Here’s a summary of what happened in the meeting:

• I started by emphasizing that my goal was to learn from my mistakes rather than just dispute the grade. I offered to show my HTML report and explain how the solution worked, but the professor cut me off, demanding I give a 10-second reason why my grade should be changed, setting a defensive tone right away.
• The professor dismissed my Jupyter notebook, saying he wanted "Python code, not notebooks." I tried to explain that notebooks are standard in many programming and data science fields and allow for interactive code sharing, but he refused to engage in the conversation. He focused on irrelevant issues like the number of files or dependencies, rather than the actual content of the solution.
• He then said that if he couldn’t run my notebook, he would give me a zero. After convincing him to try, he ran it incorrectly through the command line without the required environment (e.g., no boto3 installed). When I pointed this out, he became defensive again, implying that I was making things unnecessarily complex, despite using common Python libraries and proper project structure.
• The meeting turned into a drawn-out debate about basic coding practices like the use of requirements.txt and whether Jupyter notebooks are considered "Python code" (they are!). He repeatedly accused me of not wanting to learn and seeking special treatment, which is completely untrue.

Now I’m left feeling frustrated and concerned. This course still has two more homework assignments and an individual project that involves a lot of coding, and I no longer trust this professor to assess my work fairly. I’m even considering Q-dropping the class because I fear being targeted for discrimination.

Has anyone else dealt with a situation like this? How did you handle it? I’m thinking about escalating this or reaching out to my department for help, but I’m unsure of the best steps. Would appreciate any advice!

Hi Aggies! I'm an international student interested in TAMU's petroleum engineering, however my university agent says that it would be easier for me to apply for chemistry and then change my major to petroleum engineering. I have 3.62 unweighted gpa, 3.80 weighted, 1440 sat, and I'm taking another one in november. I got 5s in AP calc ab and AP micro, 4s in AP Chem and AP ES. My ECs are OKAYish but I do lack competitions related to chemistry or petroleum.

So… I asked my friend if I could use her school mailbox address to order something and she kindly allowed me to, BUT I made the mistake of leaving my name to the address and I can’t do anything about. I contacted the company I ordered from and they said they could not change the name or cancel the order ;-; WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MAIL AND THE PERSON WHO THE MAILBOX BELONGS TO? I don’t want her to get in trouble. Please help!

I just saw I was accepted today through the 7 tabs in howdy and congratulations message in AIS. Do any of yall know when I’ll get the official acceptance email and package? Also how do I officially accept my acceptance and state that I’m going to A&M? Thanks in advance yall

I brought my own wireless printer and connected it using IoT. Apparently, there is an option for all of you own devices on the IoT to be able to discover each other. It was working until I came back from summer, I could not wirelessly use my printer. I went to the IoT registration website, and I no longer have that option of my devices discovering each other. Is there any notifications about this because I never seen an official one. What can be my potential solutions?

I feel excited. Any tips for a newbie?

Edit: Thank you everyone. I shall get sunscreen asap, stay hydrated, and wear a comfy pair of shoes. I have the towel, I got it from my program and I'll be glad to finally put it to use. I shall somehow yell to the best of my ability and go with the flow, as I may not be able to go to the midnight practice tonight.

If I’m looking for some extra money when I’ve got nothing else to do which one should I drive for?

so I’m supposed to graduate this December but I just got an email saying that Im not cleared to graduate. So I did a degree evaluation and apparently there are two courses that I haven’t taken that my advisors have never told me I needed to take. I’ve always followed the degree plans that they give me to a T and I have passed every single one of the classes that I’ve been told that I have to take in order to graduate this December. What the fuck am I supposed to do? I have a literally had multiple meetings with them where they say “yup! You’re on track to graduate this December congrats!” So like actually what the actual fuck

Howdy! I’m applying to the ppip internship and don’t know how to approach the essay. I looked for help online but can’t find any. What’s the essay structure, persuasive? Informative? Does our policy we are researching have to be recent or can it be from 2 years ago?? Is policy regulations that have been passed or regulations still in process? I have so many questions please help or upvote!!!!

Hey I just recently lost my cat. we live in university heights and he is used to being indoors. He is a grey and white shorthair and is only 1 years old so he is quite timid. Please let me know if y’all have any information because he means the world to me!!

I’ve applied for several on campus jobs over the past 2 weeks. I’ve haven’t heard anything back. How long does it normally take to hear back?

Hey everyone! I'm applying to A&M and am planning to major in Aerospace Engineering because I love rockets and space exploration. However, I’m also really passionate about astronomy and astrophysics, especially exoplanets and stars. I noticed there isn't a dedicated astrophysics course, but there are options for physics and astronomy.

Does anyone have advice on how I can combine these interests? Maybe a minor or some electives that would let me dive into astrophysics while sticking with aerospace? Any suggestions for research opportunities or classes to get the best of both worlds would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Listen man just today I had someone almost hit me cause they were going probably 60 in a 40. Stop tailgating, stop driving aggressive. If you want to dumb shit and put your own life in danger fine, natural selection is a thing. But you're putting yourself and others in danger to save a couple secouns chill the fuck out and drive like you have a brain and situational awareness. Also last time I vented about this, someone said " well maybe it's a college student who's in a rush" mfer you're not a emt your lack of planning doesn't give you a right to drive like a dick

I applied for the Certified Financial Planner Extended learning certificate. Just wondering if anyone knows when I will hear back.

Has anyone here ever switched labs for their 491 research credit? I already emailed my counselor but I thought I'd ask here too.

if you ain’t using them. send em my way please, thru the dm!! I’m trying to redeem some things and I’m sort points, thanks!!

Hey guys.

I submitted my application for A&M on 9/23, but only finished all the Documents required for admission a few days ago. I am top 10% percent, so I wondered how long it would take to get a response from Texas A&M about acceptance and your major.

If, in fact true, your attempt to flex situational awareness comes off as lack of trust in your staff. At least that's how I would take it if I were Brian.
