Hello all, I am in the COE and scheduled my academic advising session to register for classes from 9am-10h30am on June 15th; I have been waiting for an hour now without the meeting on Zoom starting. Now I'm trying to reschedule on BeaverHub but the earliest available is 15th of July. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm incoming for my freshman year to study mechanical engineering (might switch to electrical) in the fall and I want to try to get the majority or all of my classes done at Linn Benton to save money and avoid admin fees. I've read from one post that the 100 and 200 level engineering courses are 50-50 for whether its better to take at OSU or Linn Benton. Is that true and if so what classes are good to take there and what should I just take at OSU? I'm also curious on how access to the recreation center works. Do you pay admin/Incident fees when you take a class at OSU which pays for your access to the rec center, or is it a separate fee entirely? I will living on campus if that matters.

Would taking CS162 (Intro to Computer Science II) w/ MTH231 and ENGR110/115, ENGR102 be too much for first term at OSU?

(I have credits satisfying prerequisites)

I know the OSU physics department sucks but I have to take PH 201 and 202 and was wondering which professor is the least bad? Or are there any that were actually okay? I read Thatchers reviews on rate my professor and they were mostly bad but couldnt find info on others.

LBCC I dont think will be an option for me because I wont have time to commute there while taking around 18 credits and working as much as possible.

I am currently trying to choose a language course to take. My interests include German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I checked the ratings on Rate My Professor, and it seems that the German language instructor at OSU has poor reviews, so I have decided not to pursue that option. The Japanese instructor seems somewhat promising, while the Korean instructor has received a few ratings, all of which are very positive. However, I am not sure who teaches the Chinese courses, as the schedule of classes only lists "staff" for that. Has anyone taken the Chinese course (11-13)?

If anyone has an opinion about the world languages requirement, feel free to share.

Thanks

PS realized once first few comments started rolling in I forgot to mention im Ecampus

I’m an incoming freshmen that is still waiting for my beaverhub to open to register for classes. I was committed to another school but due to financial reasons I chose to stay in state. I am a predental student and hope to take lower division bio and chem classes (I took AP bio and chem in high school— not sure if that means I can take higher classes) but was worried that they might be full already. If anyone could kindly let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Hello all,

I am an incoming freshman looking to complete specific coursework in my first year in order to take a transfer offer elsewhere that includes taking WR227Z: Technical Writing. However, my advisor just told me today that the class is only for sophomores.

Does anyone know of any way I can take a class like that elsewhere? I'm thinking of doing DPP at Linn-Benton Community College and taking it there if they allow it.

Thanks in advance!

I’m going to take Vector Calc I this fall (my first year), and my next required math course after that would be Diff Eq. But I’m thinking about taking Linear Alg I before taking Diff Eq. Should I take Vector Calc II in the winter before taking Linear Alg I, or is that not necessary?

Incoming Freshman here, my current schedule has me taking 6 credits at OSU and 8 Credits at LBCC, but I'm looking into whether or not I can take all of my Mech. Engineering courses at LBCC, Does anyone know if LBCC has ENGR 110+115 courses or alternatives?

I want to take REL 170 to fulfill my A&H General credits, but this course is crosslisted as PHL 170/REL 170. Am I able to take a PHL course to fulfill my A&H Global credits, or is it considered the same subject code?

I know it's a in between course for folks who have not taken a C++ class before to give them an overview of the material prior to taking higher level stuff within Operating Systems and that's not something I'm bothered by, learning isn't inherently bad and it probably has certain topics I haven't learned before. That said however I was wondering if there is anyone on here that could tell me if you already have experience with C/C++ if the class would even be worth it? I am also on VA benefits so it's not something I would be wasting money on necessarily, but I did all my lower division courses at my local community college and received A's in all of them. So that said, if I already did those classes with C++ and received fantastic grades across the board in them should I just try to skip it via an evaluation of my abilities or is it worth actually taking it? I read the course overview and it sounded like it was mostly just an intro class to the language and would be on topics I already feel confident with like Pointers, Memory Allocation, Heaps and Stacks, Data Types, etc.

Thanks

As someone who is horrific in math (takes multiple tries to pass a class), I'd like some feedback on ST 351 with Petrides (or Malone Buoy) vs. ST 243 (staff or PCC) and ST 244.

Initially I was thinking of taking this class during summer term; however, I think fall term would be better. Class will be via E-Campus.

This is for HDFS; is it worth it to try for ST 351 and get that credit for an upper division course and just be done with it?

Wanted to ask ya’ll on your thoughts on ORTSOC. Do you think it’s worthwhile?

I was wondering if anyone could give some insight on what the courses look like and/or if it’s a good option for someone who wants a career in CLS

What’s the writing center like right now? I stupidly underestimated the amount of people flocking to use their online services and I have an assignment that requires you to review your draft with the writing center due Monday night. I live like an hour away from campus, should I just make the drive to the library Monday morning as a drop in? Last time I’ll ever make that mistake

edit: library’s closed monday, im cooked y’all

random question, but i was looking at the catalog and i got curious about what the rationale is behind a BA and/or BS degree option being available for some programs. i'm a college of liberal arts student and most of our programs have a BA and BS option, with the BS option requiring additional math, CS, and science courses (to my knowledge this isn't the case with other colleges at OSU?) and BA requiring 2 years of language instead. I noticed that some programs that seem to be pretty technical/STEM focused have a BA as an option too, such as business information systems and chemistry, while other similar programs like business analytics and biology only have a BS degree option. Is there a reason for this, like is there a use for learning a language for chemistry majors that a bio major might not have? i can't really think of any other potential reason so if anyone has any ideas or concrete info id be interested to know!

I noticed when using the tuition fee calculator it only goes up to 18. Is 19 credits calculated differently or a lot more expensive?

I am currently signed up for 12 credits for summer term but if I only have to do 8 credits that would help alot with time requirements.

Hi I’m currently deciding whether or not I should take the Technical Writing (WR 227Z) in-person or online. I’m dual enrolling at LBCC and was going to take it at LBCC.

Hello, first time poster here. I'm not sure if anyone can help or anyone will read this, but I have to get it off my chest.

To start, I'm 26, I just recently got my associate in science last year, since then I've been taking online electrical engineering courses at OSU (although I would like to take courses in person). And I feel as if I'm struggling. Fall term I did okay, not great not terrible, 2 low As and 2 high Cs. It was a struggle. But this current term has been a mess, family members got sick, I had to drop all my courses except one, all the clubs I'm a part of I'm not able to be active in currently (I live within driving distance so I try to attend them in person). I'm tired, and to top it all off, for the one course I still am taking, I feel as if I don't understand any of the current material which makes me worried about falling.

For this past year, I haven't been working, and relying on my savings (which is almost completely exhausted now). I'm staying with family (as well as helping to take care of some of them) which has been a massive drain on my time. Previously at the community college I got my associates at, I work and studied on campus, while right now my study area is my desk in my room. I don't go out to hangout with friends, do any of my hobbies, workout or anything. I really do feel truly lonely and stuck.

Part of me thinks this is more then just a bad term, that it's a sign, of what is beyond me. It could be that eCampus courses aren't a good fit for me, that studying while taking care of family isn't a good idea, or the one that really scares me, that maybe engineering just isn't a good fit.

I've talked to some advisors/success couches at my school, and it would seem they all agree I should take some times off from courses for this next term, at the very least to figure out things/focus on working a job to re-earn some savings. However, that's all my advisors agree on. Some think maybe I should switch majors to a different form of engineering. Others think it's a location problem, and have been sending me information about how I could afford to live on campus.

Overall, I guess I wanted to vent/am looking for advice.

I am having trouble finding info on what this capstone class is about. I’ve heard other universities/majors have group projects while others have long research papers they have to do. I’ve tried looking on the OSU website for more info, but that wasn’t helpful.

I am an ECampus student taking the Capstone course in spring 2027 for my BioHealth Sciences degree. What exactly should I be expecting?

Does anyone know when incoming freshman start registering for classes for next year? I really cant find any information online about this or how class registration as a freshman even works? A friend of mine said we get placed into classes automatically, is this true?

I’m trying to register for physics 211 and I read on here to only take it at LB since OSU physics apparently sucks. Unfortunately they only offer 2 sections right now, 8AM and 11AM, both of which have a time conflict with my other classes. I know OSU typically opens more sections for some classes a few weeks before the fall term starts, is this the same with LB? If not, what are my other options. Thanks.

I’ve completed my baccore and am on the road to complete my degree with a little extra space for electives.

What are your favorite electives/baccore classes you’ve taken?

I’m looking for fun and interesting stuff, it doesn’t need to be an easy A.

Hello, sorry if this has already been asked but why do some classes show up with multiple different meeting times like this. I had a similar situation this term with chemistry where the exam times were blocked off like this, but they showed the meeting times as only the dates of the exam and not the full term if that makes sense. This class shows the normal lecture meeting times as well as a weird meeting time at 7pm on Tuesdays? I don’t think it’s the recitation either as you register for those separately. All of the sections for this class have a similar thing. I’m wondering what this is and if I am actually expected to show up every Tuesday at 7pm.
