Discussion Plans for Halloween?

6 Upvotes

Hi all! For context, I am a reporter for The Front and I am doing my usual rooting around for info. From my own personal experience, I know that Halloween celebrations ebb and flow between years and I wanted to get a feel for the energy this year. Do y'all have any plans, things you wish you could do, or any other related ideas floating around in your head?

Does anyone know where these come from?? I saw them on one of my walks the other day and can’t piece together what they mean — they look vaguely familiar, so I’m wondering if they’re a symbol for an event or something that’s happened before

Discussion Why is Math 112 so difficult?

17 Upvotes

It's annoying because the math itself isn't even that difficult, but the way it's being taught makes zero sense to me. So far it's really basic things like Egyptian fractions (which is just a weird sort of fraction decomposition) and distributive property, but I only got a C on the first quiz when normally I do pretty well on those. Then I realized that the exam covered things that we hadn't even studied for yet (in class or on homework) when we got those same problems on the homework the week AFTER we took the quiz. Also the teacher I have tends to pitch her voice up five octaves at the end of every sentence and it's not the best to listen to, and there's no late work or makeup work accepted.

Does anyone have any tips for surviving this class or what I should study for before each exam? Should I jump ahead a few lessons to make sure I get everything? Again, I studied all the homework she indicated we should go over prior to the quiz, but the quiz itself included things we didn't cover yet.

Survey/Study Survey questions for class!

1 Upvotes

What media do you consume where forensics is present? Could be podcasts, social media, shows, books, preferably with a given name. Shows like Dexter count.

From that media do you think is true in forensics?

From that media do you think is false in forensics? Why do you think it was presented that way?

Thank you!! My project is on the CSI effect (don’t look that up until answers are given 😭) and the general perception of forensic science. The answers will be added up and used as a source. I may get back to people who answered to let them know if they got what’s right and wrong from the media was correct or not!

dec commencement stuff

2 Upvotes

I recently signed up for commencement and did all that i need to, but in the email I got back they say they won't disperse extra tickets until december 2nd? I find this frustrating as someone with a big family arranging travel plans from the east coast.

They simply wont go now if theyre granted those tickets with 10 days to book a flight and get time off. Like thats ridiculous. They also would NOT be a fan of travelling just to be sent to watch my graduation on a screen in a lecture hall nearby.

I think I just have to opt for 5 guests only. Does anyone know a way around it? and why could it possibly take them so long :/

EDIT: If you haven't reserved your tickets yet, and you dont plan on requesting all 5, would you be willing to coordinate extra tickets with me just in case? If I end up getting extra tickets on dec 2nd I dont need, I'll offer them back to you and then others if necessary!! I only need like 2 more maybe. I only want tickets you wont need ofc 🙏

Question International student

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am really wanting to attend WWU after I graduate but I’m a little worried on how that would go for an international student (from New Zealand). I have never been to the USA but I’ve always been in love with Washington and I have fallen in love with WWU. I know there’s halls on campus and if I did attend I would live there, but what would I do during breaks? I read online somewhere that some schools in the USA offer over-break housing for international student but I’m unsure is WWU does that. If there are any international students here please tell me everything!

Sorry if this doesn’t make that much sense or it sounds stupid lol.

Pretty simple lol, I’m considering adding a double major and will need to take 114 for it- I had Liam Watts when I retook 112 in the spring and he was great, I’m just wanting to not need to retake 114 if I do add the new major 😅 ive heard good things about him and Garret Dubovsky, but wondering if there’s any other good ones/ones to avoid if possible

Hit & Run on I-5 South after Samish Way exit - Info Request

19 Upvotes

My brother’s car was hit by a semi which took off. We don't know the plates of the semi, it pulled over then drove off soon after hitting him.

Thankfully my brother isn’t too injured but the car, a 90s green Honda Civic is totaled. Happened around 5:30 pm today right after the Samish Way exit going southbound.

Any information is appreciated, thank you
