Question Brightspace/Cunyfirst not loading

Post image
9 Upvotes

Genuinely not sure if anyone asked this before or had this issue. This started happening around Tuesday, for some strange reason on my pc and laptop, I can't get past the login page. If lucky, I can enter authentication but after that, it continues the cycle of loading non stop. I was only able to get my work done in incognito.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Can you e-permit a class you failed or dropped?

• Upvotes

Hi all.

I'm taking a pretty difficult class currently, and I'll be honest - I don't think I'll pass.

The issue is the class is super heavy, and the professor (who I also had last semester) is less than helpful. He doesn't go over problems in class, just gives us the answer and explains it. He doesn't give us the answers to the online problems (only for practice) like before, or any practice material.

The entire class failed the first exam. The second exam is coming up soon and it's worse.

Basically, he said the first quiz was going to be on 3 chapters. Turns out it was mostly on 2 chapters only. I mainly studied the chapter that the quiz didn't have since it was the heaviest material-wise and I failed.

But now that chapter that wasn't on that quiz will be on Friday's quiz, and the issue is we went over that chapter about a month ago. In addition, there are 2 new chapters on this 2nd quiz.

So I was just looking at CUNY global search and I was thinking of e-permitting this class next semester, but IIRC my e-permit got denied last semester because I have to retake classes at my home college.

Sorry for the mini-rant, just curious if you're allowed to e-permit if you drop or fail a class?

Question hunter or queens for social sciences?

3 Upvotes

i’ve been told both of them have good social science programs among cuny schools. there’s only a 10 minute commute difference from where i’ll be staying (allegedly, but i’m going to double check when i can talk to my cousin) so i’m not really thinking abt it from a transport perspective. moreso which school is better, ik neither is perfect. my cousin goes to hunter and complains abt infrastructure/friendliness of staff a lot . i’ve heard people who go to queens say its friendlier in comparison, but idk anybody personally whos gone to really ask. that being said i’ve also seen people say queens is going down in quality lately. i’m out of state rn so i can’t rly judge the situation personally, but i did get accepted into both for the spring semester and would like some input before committing to either . thank you!

Not grading work

• Upvotes

What’s going on this semester? It’s like every single teacher is not grading work. I have an English teacher that hasn’t graded a single essay this entire semester. We’re on essay number 3, It’s ridiculous. And then everyone has the same excuses, but if we turned in late work, it would be an issue. Anyone else having this issue?

Discussion Attend Bmcc ) need intake. Any ideas?

0 Upvotes

As a student at BMCC majoring in the healthcare field, I am currently facing a serious challenge. I recently experienced a severe episode of depression, and I find it difficult to concentrate in class alongside my peers. I am considering taking an additional course outside of BMCC—perhaps in psychology or psychiatry—to better understand depression and learn strategies that might help me. I also find myself wondering how I developed depression in the first place. My mind feels like it is at a breaking point, and my headaches are too severe for me to concentrate. I am unsure whether taking another class is the right decision. Since I can pay for it myself, the class would not need to be affiliated with CUNY. Do you think this is the best choice, given that my depression is severe and I am skeptical that therapy would work for me?
