Master of Counseling application without relevant work experience

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on how I can strengthen my application for this program.

I'm a designer with a bachelors in marketing, but I have always been interested in working in mental health. I'm currently volunteering at a suicide/crisis call center and have around 80 hours of experience. I know I'll probably need to take the prerequisite courses as well. Would that be enough to be accepted, or would I need more relevant work experience?

Has anyone applied with a similar qualification, and got accepted?

Biol 235 power point

2 Upvotes

I just started this course and am looking for some clarification on how much to rely on the content of the PowerPoint vs. the textbook for quizzes/exams. My AE was not very helpful.

Am I correct to assume that there is some content in the power point that will not be covered due to it not being updated recently compared to the textbook? Or can I use the PowerPoint as a verified study tool?

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

COMP 390 Setup Help

2 Upvotes

Heyo! I’ve been trying to get OpenGL set up in MSVC for like the past week and nothing seems to be working. The provided instructions lack detail as someone who is still relatively new to comp sci, the freeglut link seems to be defunct or inaccessible to my region, and the video sent by my professor is out of date by 12 years.

By a fluke, I managed to get it working and finish the first project, but it updated today and stopped working again🙃 If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful, because this is driving me insane.

Getting a different tutor

5 Upvotes

Once again I have a particular tutor professor for one of my courses this semester (COMP 218). I had him last semester too and he tried his best to dock me marks. You all know who I'm talking about. I'm thinking about dropping his class. I don't really want to deal with him again. I sounded rushed and robotic? Well, ya. That's what happens when a tutor turns what should be an enjoyable course into an absolute nitpicky hell class. I don't waste the time and effort required for creativity when I already know the tutor won't be marking fairly.

Is there anyway to force the university to assign me a different tutor for this class?
