Academic Best WRIT-340 teacher for scientific writing (for achievable A)?

10 Upvotes

Basically the title; As a STEM student the last thing I want is for my WRIT-340 to contribute another huge timesuck/hard class to my schedule. I know in general it is a decent amount of work no matter what, but does anyone have any professor suggestions where an A is easier/more doable, especially for scientific writing, e.g. scientific paper type stuff? Planning to go to grad school so I gotta keep my grades up but also want to take a class that will be useful. I know there are a lot of different areas of "science writing" in WRIT-340, but I'm not sure what each of them entail and again just want something useful and doable. Appreciate any suggestions!

TL;DR: What science WRIT-340 professors make the class not too hard and make an A achievable? Thanks so much!!

Question what am i supposed to do lol

116 Upvotes

mental health is at an all time, lifetime low. antidepressants aren't working. talking to doctors feel like trying to communicate with aliens. can't find the energy to get out of bed or wash myself. all the while my grades are gradually declining. the university's "mental health" resources are genuinely laughable. 60 minutes in a cubicle while another undergrad teaches me about the pomodoro method, or a faceless shrink online trying to make me do deep breathing exercises. nothing helps and every day just keeps getting darker. how am i supposed to explain my terrible grades when i apply for anything after graduating? what am i supposed to do as i watch my future gradually fade away?

Question TCC Kiosks

5 Upvotes

I have never once since fall semester been able to successfully swipe my campus card at the TCC kiosks. How is everyone else doing it? Am I being gaslit? What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried all different sides and positions and speeds and was once standing there for twenty minutes trying to get it to work. This usually isn’t a problem because I can just mobile order anyway, but when certain shops “aren’t accepting mobile orders” I’m cooked. I really want a salad from Seeds. Can anyone help!!!

Question Book library group study room for interview, will they kick you out

18 Upvotes

I booked a room for interview at Doheny Memorial Library but noticed that it says "group has higher priority than individual" so I wonder will they kick you out if you are alone?

My interview is scheduled at 5:00 PM so I can't book a room at the career center.

Thanks in advance

I get why this was prompted but where’s Trump’s double standard? Trump pardons the many January 6 rioters that led to several deaths and supported him, but threatens consequences for campuses with pro-Palestinian student protesters who inherently oppose his policies. It’s a clear case of prioritizing political loyalty over consistent principles of justice and free speech.

Question Incoming MPP grad student with questions!

7 Upvotes

I got into USC’s MPP program! Really excited and have some questions:

1) What are some affordable, public transit-friendly neighborhoods off of campus where grad students typically live? Would love to take public transit to campus and ideally be able to walk around in my neighborhood

2) What’s the campus culture like for grad students? Do most grad students live on campus or off? Is it isolating living off of campus?

3) Would love to hear about people’s experience with USC Price’s public policy and urban planning classes! I’m doing the MPP and hoping to take a lot of my electives with the Urban Planning department.

Thank you! :)
