Liberty Online DMin

Can you complete the Dmin Online in a colander year? I am pretty motivated and have very flexible hours? Also how miserable would my life be, if I attempt such a feat.

Finance degree

I plan to go for my Master's after I get my BA. I like Finance, but I have a few questions. Is it hard? What kind of math do I need in order to succeed? I just finished College Algebra and got an A. I do have another backup degree in mind if it doesn't work out. I thought I ask to get some advice.

Thanks.

WebAssign is Really Frustrating

I'm an online student, doing my first math class. Am I the only one that struggles with WebAssign? It's constantly automatically closing parentheses for me when I don't want it, such as when I'm doing interval notation (3,5] is annoying to enter), or if I miss a character and have to insert something, my groupings get all messed up. I basically have to erase everything and start over. It also doesn't care at all if I accidentally forget to enter something in a field, it just puts "No response given" and submits it without warning.

I've had to leave notes for my professor on more than one occasion, saying "I realized as soon as I hit submit, I made this mistake. ______ is what I should have put down." and I've been fortunate that she's been pretty accommodating, but I know that I can't expect that from every professor. I've also more than once accidentally put factors out of order (it wants them smallest to largest, probably because it's the only way it knows it gets the right things).

Most of these mistakes are simply from the test being timed and I'm trying to make sure I get everything done in time. Am I the only one getting frustrated by this, or do I just need to make a better effort to not be a moron?

Appealing An Assignment Grade

I’m a residential graduate student and I just got a grade back on an assignment that I believe should be much higher. However, I see LU only lets you appeal and entire class grade. Do I have to just beg my professor for a better grade?

Transferring Undergrad

Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience transferring in undergrad from Liberty? I am currently an online student pursuing a bachelors in industrial and civil engineering. I have been attending Liberty since January of 2024. I have nothing against the culture or anything, and have had a mostly positive experience with my classes. However, I feel as if a local university would benefit me more. I know a lot of this could be answered by the school of interest and/or Liberty, but I was wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience as far as student loans, transfer credits, etc?

Thanks in advance!

Withdrawing and nervous

So I’m taking the last two classes for fall semester. I’m currently(or was 😅) full-time online student, full time worker, and have a 1 year old. My work decided to pick up its training schedule and I can’t seem keep up with both school and my work. I am about to be 4 assignments late and stressing out so I’m deciding to withdraw from these classes. I don’t want my gpa to hurt just because of a temporary timeframe. I do plan to come back in the spring, but I’m nervous about the consequences of withdrawing for the rest of the false semester.

Are there things that I should be aware of or am I just overstressing?

LU Online BS in Physics

Hey, everyone. Hope all is well. I am currently looking into LU after finding out about the merit scholarships they give students, and I came across their online programs. As an aspiring physicist, I am wondering if anyone knows how their online courses/degrees work. I haven't found anything that has told me that I would have to do something on-campus, but rather that it would just be online, but I'm having a hard time believing that. However, if it is true, would I only have to pay certain fees like the general and tuition, as I would have no need for other things like transportation, room, and board?

Thank you in advance!

Masters in Elementary Education

I am currently enrolled in a Master's Program at another university and I am thinking about transferring into Liberty University for a Master's in Elementary Education. Does anyone know about the format of the program is it mostly exams or papers or a combination of both? Any info either positive or negative about the program would really help.

Clinical Mental Health Program

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to start at LU in January. I was wondering how different is it from getting a bachelors degree? Is the workload a lot? How are the practicum/internships?

Also, I've been seeing/hearing them having a bad rep? Will I have trouble getting a job after this??

Rock music

I'm a high-schooler looking into liberty university I'm currently doing liberty university online academy which gives half tuition if I transfer to the college but one thing that is really important to me is music specifically rock music both Christian and not none of it explicit. I looked for a policy on music and all I could find is no open air public unapproved music. Could anyone tell me what the rules are?

Need Help on Serious Issue

Hi everyone. This is insanely vulnerable of me and I’m so scared to even ask this.

This semester, something happened to me because of a position I put myself in. I ended up going through one of the hardest things in my life because of this, but literally shut it out and haven’t let it register. My grades this semester really suffered because of it, but I’ve been doing my best considering what’s been going on. I think most other people in my shoes would have left school.

Now I might barely miss the cutoff for passing a class because of this. That would mess up my entire graduation timeline. If I told my professor what was going on, I think he would understand and help me find some points to pass. But I am so afraid that if I do, I will get in trouble for putting myself in the situation in the first place, as it was against the Liberty Way.

I also just fully haven’t accepted what happened and am in denial about it, and am worried about what will happen if I let myself talk about it now before finals.

Please offer any guidance. I know how Liberty can be, and don’t want to open up about something so serious if it’s only going to get me in trouble and not help in any way.

E-Scooter+ Ban About to Be Worse

Since the beginning of this semester, the college has had a "soft-ban" on electric scooters, bikes, skateboards, etc.

  • A "soft-ban" being that you can technically have them on campus, but you can't charge them anywhere and the storage options are either outside, or in your room only (no common areas either). Which almost makes them useless unless you are a commuter or you get creative.

However, I've been hearing around that next semester they're moving to a hard-ban. This sucks, because I understand the fire-safety concerns for a lot of the cheaper options (I'll explain later), but an E-Scooter is the only transportation I have (couldn't afford a car) and I have a knee injury that makes walking slower and causes potential inflammation.

Now, why did I point out the "cheaper options" specifically? The whole concern they have with fire risks comes from the lithium-ion batteries in those vehicles. When one of those batteries is misused, abused, or simply too old, it can spontaneously combust (gets too hot, too cold, is charged to fast, is overcharged, etc.)

Cheaper options are often small-time brands, knock-offs, and what-not that don't have a "Battery Management System" (or at least a good one) that manages and prevents all of the above issues.

  • This is something that I agree on with their concerns of fire risks, especially with Electric Skateboards as there is a much larger market for them, allowing for small companies and knock-offs to slip through constantly with sub-par safety features if any at all. Some don't even have a basic Battery Management System, and account for the large majority of reported spontaneous fires.

Options from well-known and larger brands like Segway both are more concerned with their image and such the safety of their product, and have them rigorously tested. One such test is a "UL Certification" which is essentially just a safety test of varying levels. For instance, most Segway E-Scooters have a UL-2271 certification for their battery systems.

Cheaper options that are made in other countries without the same certifications and construction standards fall short in safety and should absolutely be banned or heavily restricted, but brands and products that have reputable safety certifications should be handled differently rather than a blanket ban.

If anything, the college could work towards supporting the use of these devices safely in a variety of ways:

  • Actually cracking down on the clowns that break road rules, ride recklessly, or at high speeds on sidewalks.
  • Proving enclosed, temperature control units with solar panels outside just for these devices. With this, they could also get similar payments for parking passes, and solve their fire risks concerns in one go without causing backlash. Hell, have the engineering department draft up a design for the buildings as a project or competition if the college wants to take the cheaper route.
  • Have dedicated places to charge the devices on main-campus where they can be locked up. Actually enforce not allowing them in the buildings, but provide somewhere they deem safe enough to put them once you get to campus.

ECON 214 & 215 — do i really need to take these? (business admin major)

Working on my bachelor’s in business admin & data analysis through LUO. When i’m done, i’m probably just going to work some admin job back home when i’m done with the military. I don’t care about economics and i’m contemplating just doing Sophia learning for both macro/microeconomics. How important are these courses in doing well in the other foundational courses?

Any advice for an M.Ed?

Just curious if anyone has experience in the M.Ed programs. If you're in the M.Ed in Higher Education, that's a plus. Just curious how the academics are, as well as the professors. Are the classes mostly writing intensive?

transferring

i’ve been accused of AI for almost every essay i’ve written and it’s only my first semester. i’ve had to write 2 appeals now and i just got denied for the first time. i’m sick of liberty using turnitin for AI percentages because it’s extremely inaccurate and i’m not trying to fail out because they refuse to acknowledge that. does anyone know of any other online CMHC programs that don’t use turnitin?

Organic chemistry tutoring

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

Overwhelmed by organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with me?

  • Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. I do.
  • I tutor organic chemistry full time, it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with me, you’ll be working only with me, not random people at an agency.
  • You’ll be learning problem solving through organic chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.
  • Your learning will be customized to your specific needs

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!

Mike

Tips on transferring in graduate classes

Hi

Is there a graduate school you know of that is cheaper? I’d like to take an elective class and transfer it in to save a little money. Also does anyone have any experience with applying for experiential credit? I am a mid level supervisor at my job and have been in my career for 15 years.
