I study history at a university in the Netherlands and a week after the exams I had to make 5 assignments for 1 week and 3 the week after that, by itself that's not a major issue, but 1 assignment was first called off, then 3 days after that (which was 1 day before we had to turn the assignment in) the teacher said we still had to finish the assignment, and they gave us the wrong assignment twice.

I have to travel 1.5 hours everyday, and some days it's up to 3 hours because my gym is in another city. I called off 3 trainings for this nonsense, and I might get kicked out of the social club that I am a part of because I am unable to to dedicate enough time for club.

I heard that the faculty was incredibly incompetent but this was not something that I ever thought to have witnessed

So I’ve been working on an essay for uni (uni of nottingham) for about two weeks and before I went to submit it today I checked it on turnitin. It had a 65% score which is obviously quite worrying. I did not use AI to write my essay, but I included references and definitions in it which I feel could be why my score is quite high. However, whenever I tried editing my work to reduce this score and checked again the AI similarity rating only increased, up to 99% at one point. I had to submit it as there was a deadline but it ended at about the 65% mark. I feel like because of my references/ the fact I followed the essay structure correctly it should clearly not be written by AI, but I still worry they may think it has been lifted by it. Is it possible I just write in a very similar way to AI? Or perhaps I over-edited it? Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi guys as you already know by the title can you help me find out the universities which are reputed and take online classes! TIA

Hi. I’m first year bachelor student of computer science. There is a real problem like I don’t know how to study in university. In my country we have 11 years of school, and now I am in different country for university, and almost all of my classmates are older than me, and they have learnt about lessons a lil bit,but I haven’t, and it is kinda hard for me to catch up with them and while studying for university exam I was with teachers and they taught me the lessons ,but right now I am by myself and struggling to find a way to study. I feel like I am lost. But the very main problem is I don’t know how to study. Any help?

Hello everyone, I am a UTK student interested in learning more about the relationship between drinking and playing college sports, but any student regardless of athletic status can take the survey. It is completely anonymous, and it would help me out a lot if y'all could take it. It should only take between 5-10 minutes to complete. Thank you so much!

Please give my blog a view for my uni assignment 🙏 https://rugbyreform.blogspot.com/?m=1

I sometimes mentor junior students in their research, and I'm struggling with how much I should teach them.

Should I directly give them the answers, or should I provide hints that lead them to find the answers themselves?

It seems my junior won't become a researcher in the future, so I want to teach them something that will be useful for their future, but what should that be?

What are the valuable skills that can be gained through research? And how should I guide them to acquire these skills?

I'd like to know how others approach mentoring.

I have 3 short essays I need to write that needs to have a total word count of 2100 (10% over or under will be counted). Is the word count of 700 strict if i write 850 words for one of the essays do you think that would be okay? I tried to edit it down but I can’t find anything that I can’t remove that’s not important. It counts headings and in text citations it’s due tmr morning

Hi guys did any one of you get medical certificate from the doctor in United States for the leave you had taken in the university because of your health conditions?? How do I get the certificate??

So I’m not a uni student(yet) but I get good grades and hopefully will be going to a good uni next year. The point of this post is that I want to try and get some advice/opinions on what I should be doing to improve socially.

So I’m in year 13(uk, year before I go to uni) and like I said I am performing well but I’m so bad socially, I went from having a decent number of friends(that I kinda liked) to having one friend(who is actually rlly good, but bad in terms of being able to talk to about sensitive stuff) that I still have from secondary school.

So would anyone be able to give advice about how I can get better? I tried going to my schools chess club(last year) but the people there weren’t really the type I wanted to talk to, it was just me and a year 10 student for a bit and I thought she was cool but I didn’t really want to make friends with someone much younger than me, there was also a guy my age that I talked to the last time I went but he was so annoying that I stopped going to the club(in hindsight that wasn’t smart LOL).

I have also never tried to make friends with someone from my class, I have reasons(excuses) like I missed the first week of school because of surgery and I didn’t want to be friends with someone who doesn’t prioritise doing work and studying. I had the opportunity to make friends I think, but I don’t have the confidence and I think maybe I make excuses to why I shouldn’t talk to them(they sound reasonable in my head, but it would be nice to get a second opinion)

I think what I’ve said covers a lot of what is going on, I’ve kinda given up(bad mindset I know, my goal now is more to prepare myself for uni, I started going to the gym 9 months ago and I want to try and develop my confidence) on making friends now but I want to do better in uni so that I don’t have a lonely life.

I’m gonna just quick fire some more potentially useful info, I’m male, I don’t like my family and don’t want to talk to them about this, I haven’t talk to pastoral staff at school, this is an alt account because I don’t like talking about my feelings and I wouldn’t want anyone I know seeing this, also I think I am kinda judging of people(in my head, I would never say it so someone) and I’m not that friendly/ nice to talk to I think.

Holy essay writer, tldr I am bad socially and find it hard to speak to people because of confidence and excuses(probably), so I want to ask for some advice on what I could do to get better so I can have a normal social life at uni.

If this is the wrong place for this I’m so sorry.

Im sorry i just need someone that'll understand
I was forced to pic a major for university at 16. Our schooling system has it so that we finish high school at 17 or 16 and go into university inmediatly after. I chose a random one i thought i would be good at and that was it. Due to not being that interested in it i was never a great student, i failed a lot of classes and never really paid much attention to burocratic stuff. Thats when my issues began. I took a lot longer than i needed to finish my education. What should have been 5 years have now been 8 and when i thought i was finally over it turns out i have a whole semester left. This due to the software they use to keep us with in our semester failed, and it allowed me to skip a whole semester with out me noticing, And now i cant graduate until i finish the semester. I take full accountability for not noticing, i am the only one responsible for making sure i was doing my courses.

I found this issue out a year ago, the issue was, i didnt know (again i take full accountability) that the proccess for signing up to a semester when youre not a regular student (im irregular now because the system sees me as skipping a semester for not signing up because i thought i was done) was different than the regular inscription and i missed the date. So i had to wait another semestrer. The other issue is, i had plans to move out of the state. So i was hoping this new semester they had online options so i could finish it outside of the state, they do not have them.

I dont know what to do, i wanna finish university, but i have spent so much for stuff out of state i no long have the option to postpone moving out, or to pay the semester and stay. My partner has told me that they will support me when i want to return and finish, and my university has reassured me that people comeback 20 years later to finish, so thats within my posibilities. I just wanna feel hope, that i'll be able to finish. I dont want to regret it, im incredibly sad and anxious rn.

im incredibly disapointed in myself, and i dont want my family to be. I was supposed to be the second graduate in the family, and now im afraid i will never be, and that they wont forgive me for it, i dont know if i'll forgive myself

Sorry if it's not the proper place to post this wall of tears, but I really need some advice.

I absolutely loved math back in high school, because there was some 'mind games' vibes to it. Our (e. g.) high school algebra curriculum didn't contain many theorems and your success on the test was mostly determined by your ingenuity. Now I'm only 3 months into my university curriculum and I think I'm going insane. From an exciting mind game math quickly turned into a crazy race to vacuum as many theorems as you can into your brain before the next collocvium (don't know if anybody in the world uses this term, it's basically a big test) or exam. The situation, however, is not the worst, considering that we have a 'ticket' system, that determines which questions you get on it. But the amount of tickets to learn for the nearest collocvium is about 100. In 25 of which proofs are about 2 pages long. I just can't memorise THIS amount of information that quickly.

Maybe math is just not for me? Or maybe I just need to somehow change my attitude towards the subject? Is your situation with math different? Could you please provide some insight on how am I even supposed to survive this situation?

Thank you, in advance.

Hi, I missed my offer from Imperial college London, and decided to not redo my A-Levels and applied to the University of Queensland in Australia. I received a excellence scholarship for a 25% per year from Queensland, which were said only to be given to a few students each year. Going in to a top university was my dream since childhood and I worked really hard for it, however during preperation for my A-Level finals after receiving an offer my head went in the clouds and I didn't do enough work. I've been feeling pretty bad recently, regret, and lost. Here are some questions I have: Some family members told me the ranking of the uni doesn't really matter, is that true? Will I still be able to do good in the engineering field and get into top companies with Queensland written on my cv? Is the first degree (undergraduate) always more important than the later ones (masters, phd)? Do I still have a chance. Are engineering degrees in Australia good, practical? What about compared to the UK or US? Did I make the wrong choice and should have redone my A-Levels and go through UCAS again? Is Imperial a better choice? Is it hard to transfer from Australia uni to UK/US? And is it worth doing? Is their any advice for how I should walk my future path? Like what country should i go for a masters and phd in biomedical engineering? Should i get a degree in some other engineering field to broaded my knowledge span? What skills should i concentrate more on, that would help to thrive in the biomedical enginnering/ engineering in general field?

I have some queries

I'm currently in the second year of my Bachelor's degree, and am hoping to get a masters after this. My current uni is in the Netherlands, and I will be applying to masters here and in Ireland.

I was sick for nearly a month in the beginning of last year and therefore missed half of two courses, I managed to catch up on one of them, but am going to have to retake the other this spring. I somehow messed up sending in an essay worth 40% of my grade for a course in the beginning of this term, and didn't realise until my professor emailed me informing me of the fact that I'll have to retake this course too.

The failed grades do not count towards my gpa (or equivalent thereof), but they will show up as failed on my transcript. How will this affect my chances of getting accepted to a Master's program? Will in have any impact on future work opportunities?

I currently study English Literature and am hoping to get a Master's degree in publishing (or similar).

So after applying to 3 schools nearby, I was put on waitlist for 2 and accepted conditionally for the 3rd one. Should I wait for the other 2 in hopes I'll be accepted in the next semester or paid 500 for the conditionally acceptance to secure my spot there. I'm not sure which I should go to, but the accepted school doesn't have the full engineering program. I want it's only a technician/2 years degree. At the same time I'm nervous that I won't ever get that acceptance to 1 of the other schools. Any opinions?

Hi guys,

Is there a way to have access to turnitin (as a student) to check for assignment plagiarism and AI? Is there a free (or paid) service or something of the such that allows me to get turnitin reports for university work?

Thanks!

Have you ever had an unusual reaction after taking benzos? If so, I would really appreciate you taking the time to (anonymously) participate in my short survey! Thank you! https://maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bpaEdPhEbemvXsW

Hi everyone!

I'm in my first semester studying Computer Science with a focus on Sustainable Product Development. I’m currently working on a project to design a new product. The main concept is to turn the old computer cases into something useful, some ideas of what this could look like will be included in the form. To guide the development process and gather valuable insights, I've created a short survey. Your responses and opinions would be incredibly helpful in understanding the needs and expectations of potential users. The survey only takes a few minutes, and your support would mean a lot to me. It only takes about 2-4 minutes.
Thank you in advance for your help! 😊

I was born in an all- doctors family. I used to be extremely studious and dedicated all the way till grd 9. Then the covid hit, and slowly i got a taste of how fun life can be when you don’t study. I went out very often, either with friends or myself didn’t matter, I just loved going out and exploring new places. That was when I finally learned that I’m not the introverted person everyone tells me I am. I’m actually very extroverted and outgoing. Online school was all about cheating for me. Then schools opened and I was still the same. I hated studying. My grades went downhill and I kept telling myself and everyone that it’s just a phase. All i need is a little more time to get back on my feet. Guess what. It kept going till grd 12. SO many things happened between Grd 11 and 12. I had so many fights and arguments with my parents every night who insisted I should become a dr and I shouldn’t be so reckless as whatever I’m doing rn it’s not me. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. To keep it short, I changed my school to an American school which took things easy and I easily graduated with a 98 ( they barely taught anth, we even had the answers to the exam questions). The country where i live in has medical unis that also take in ppl easily. So guess what. I’m in year 1 of med. my science knowledge is less than a 10th grd student. deep down nth feels right. I’ve always been a topper when it came to sbj like psychology, sociology, and English ( even after covid) I’ve never liked or were good at chem, physics, math. Bio, as long as it wasn’t chem related, I was alright with it. Now I’m sitting in lecture halls filled with passionate ppl who are eager to learn more. They study 10 hours a day altho they already have a strong science bg, and meanwhile there is me, who studies for exams the night before. I hate myself. I don’t know what I want. I know I want medicine. I even have thoughts of changing to a better medical school to become a better dr altho i’m not putting even 50% effort into my studies even in this uni. I don’t like mediocrity. I want to be a topper. If I’m to be a dr, I want to be one of the best. Altho deep down I know the “love” for med was forcefully implemented in me since i was a child, I cannot imagine myself being anth other than a medical dr. Even the goals I’ve set for myself depend on it. I hate my parents for forcing me into a major where i feel stupid and not enough everyday. But at the end of the day I know a huge part of my pathetic feeling is my own fault. Only if I studied at least 6 hrs/ day a lot of things would’ve changed. the problem is that I have NEVER, not even once in my life, studied 2 days in a row. I barely study even once throughout the week. Unless there’s an exam. I’ve tried every single damn method out there, watched every damn motivational vid available. Nth and I repeat NTH has helped me change. This reddit is my last resort. Please help me. I’m tired of of feeling lost and undeserving😣

I’m in my second year of university repeating classes ! And the university has a strict attendance policy. Even if you say you’re sick you have to go for a check up in the university there’s no escaping ! I missed a couple of days no ( 3 days ) I’m screwed. Does anyone have a good convincing argument to justify absences ? 💀 without having to put in any proof

Hey all! I'm a 28yo CC transfer admitted to CSULB (CS) for Spring 2025. After reading mixed reviews about their program, I'm wondering if I should:

1. Take CSULB offer
2. Stay at CC to apply for other schools (UCI, UCSD, Cal Poly, etc.)

Would appreciate hearing from CSULB CS students, transfers at other schools, or fellow older students about program quality and job prospects. Just want to make the best choice for my future.

Thanks!

Hi, I recently (and finally) defined my professional goal of becoming a researcher through graduate school. However, if I start graduate school now, I probably won't get a stable job until I'm over 30.

While I'm currently determined, people around me say that I might struggle with the gap between myself and my peers during the 5-year graduate program. Although I feel okay about this now, I worry that these 5 years might shake my determination.

What do you think about this? Thank you in advance.
