UMBC Discord Server!

Hello fellow UMBC students!

So a friend of mine and I have created a Discord server for the UMBC campus. We think it would be a great way to make connections with peers and share study help, meetups, memes, and anything related to UMBC. The invite is here! Good luck to @everyone with your finals!

Hi guys! Thank you SO much for all the attention on my last post❤️ I just wanted to say that I'm currently accepting commissions again, so please PM me if you're interested! I also wanted to ask if anyone had any other ideas as to where I could promote my drawings? I'm having a bit of a hard time reaching people outside of UMBC, so I'd really appreciate any advice y'all might have :)

Anyone taken Math with Dr. Tongtong Li? How is her grading / curve?

0 Upvotes

I'm currently taking a math course with Dr. Tongtong Li and feeling pretty stressed after the midterm.

My homework scores have been solid, but I struggled hard on the midterm and ended up with a bad grade. For those who have taken her before, how does she typically grade overall? Does she curve exams or the final course grade?Also, does she fail many students, or is there usually some leniency if you show consistent effort?

HIST373 (History of the holocaust) midterm help

2 Upvotes

Prof. Did not give us a rubric. Or length. Or expectations. Just the following prompts, and we were told to cite the readings, and he told us verbally to cite 2 outside of class.

What were the basic beliefs of the Nazi Party and Adolph Hitler? How did German society accept the persecution of Jews from 1933 to 1941?

What can ve learned about the Lodz Ghetto and Aushwitz from the Diary of Dawid Sieriakowiak and the Writing of Primo Levi?

Above are the prompts. He said essay on each. Refused to specify further. Also asked the class what a rubric is. Said it must be a new thing.

Should I take IS 369 or ENGL 393?

1 Upvotes

I am graduating next semester, and I need to take one of these classes to check off my Writing Intensive and Administrative Science requirements, but I am also incredibly busy and I'd like to take a class with the least stress as possible. Can you all share your experience taking either of the courses and with which professor, so I can determine which will be better for me?

Need some advice on wether to take BIOC 438 and PHYS 122 for Spring 2027

3 Upvotes

Yo, what is this timeslot for BIOC 438. There is one class at 8:45-9:50 AM MWF. For physics, exams are on 8-8:50 on Monday.

I am a junior bioc major and it's pretty frustrating that I can't take both at the same time. If I take BIOC 438 and PHYS 122, it'd be a continuation of this semester, 437 & 121. However, since I can't take both at the same time due to the time slots being overlapping, which one should I take in the spring semester and which one in the fall.

BIOC is with Prof Songon An

Physics is with Prof Cody Goolsby-Cole

BIOL 416 with Maricel Kann

2 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone taken BIOL 313 with Maricel Kann? What was your experience like in the class, and would you consider it a relatively easy 400-level BIOL elective? This would also be my first computer science-related class at UMBC, so would you recommend taking it without any prior experience, or do you think I would struggle?

PBHL420 with Dr. Park

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m currently taking pbhl 300 with Dr. R and 420 with Dr. Park so, I’m very much aware of the fact that Dr. R is a way more lenient teacher with less workload. However, she is not teaching 420 next semester and I would like to take 420 so that it could possibly transfer and satisfy a major req at UMD.

I want to know if Dr. Park’s 420 classes are hard and how they compare to either Dr. R’s 420 or his 202 class.
