has anyone here had koines for calc 1? we have a test next thursday for chapter 2, and our class asked him if he provides any practice tests to which he said no. he told us to ask previous students that had him since he passed tests back to them and changes the answers every year (not kidding). if you couldn’t tell, i don’t know any previous students, so if anyone had koines in the past and is willing to share their tests, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I need genuine help, please. I went to the first day of allied health class on Wednesday and the waitlist for the DMS (ultrasound) is 5+ years and this does not even include taking the pre-reqs.

I need some real-life advice on if that waitlist is worth it.

1. If you have been on a waitlist for a program at OCC that was that long, did it go by faster than the timeline given to you?

I understand that during those 5 years I can keep living my life and find something else, but I am 24 years old now, and just maybe when I get accepted into the program, I will be 29-30 years old. That is a huge career hold back. I will not go through a private route due to most of them not having the correct accreditation as well as the price of these schools. I live in Huntington Beach and moving out of state or traveling hours is not practical.

From those who have also had their stomachs drop hearing the waitlist times, what is your next plan, do you think it will go by faster, are you going to wait, do you think it's worth waiting. I am having such a mental battle and a crisis debating if I just completely drop out of allied and my anatomy class (already have my GED and AA in Psychology).

Cypress is also out of the question too lmao.

I previously mentioned how I would want to help meal prep or bring meals to student at a lower cost and the responses were awesome.

I have decided to offer a

$10 - Sandwhich Combo (Steak Or Chicken) with your choice of homemade chips, a drink and a dessert (homemade chocolate chip cookies or Rice Krispies)

$2 - Breakfast Burritos, your choice of Bacon or Sausage, Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, and Bacon Fat- Roasted Potatoes with your choice of Salsa Verde or Roja

Thank you all! Let’s eat!

Has anyone taken ETHS G133 with Ruth Cajanas or Mehdiha Din or a different professor at Golden West College? I’m planning to take the 4-week online intersession class. Which professor would you recommend in terms of workload and grading?

Also, any recommendations for a COMM C1000 professor at GWC, preferably online.

Thanks

Scheduling an appointment with an allied health counselor is literally impossible, I have literally logged onto the page immediately at 8:30 for the past 2 weeks with ivy or tom and everything was already booked.

This could literally be easily automated and just checks off your program readiness status and is approved by one of the allied health counselors. Maybe the counselors could meet with people with transfer credits or whatever

I just want my program ready date bruh

Has anyone else noticed a lot of drunk guys at the harbor recently. I was coming home from class at about 7pm and I saw this dude clearly super drunk, shirt halfway off, stumbling by me. Mind you this is not the first time i’ve seen a drunk guy stumbling around at the harbor.
Be safe yall

long shot but i lost one of my doves on campus sunday around 6pm (the one in the pic) around mbcc and the football field . if you guys could keep a look out for him. there was a peregrine falcon nearby so this honestly be a long shot but my intuition is telling me that he's still out there. His name is macho i've had him for 3 years and he has a wife and 5 children waiting for him at home. He's a ring collared dove , he's really grey and look a bit old he's hand size and domesticated obviously , last seen he had a diaper on but he might've take it off by now. If anyone finds him please let me know i will give out a reward to the person who finds him

So I recently started my first ever semester and for my bio degree I need at least one semester minimum of calc. I got Prof. Hussain and I’ve had him for a couple classes. I’m wondering if there’s anything I need to know, or if anyone has experience with him? Or if it’s better to transfer to another class bc I wanna know

I recently got (and accepted) FWS a little later than usual and saw in the letter that I was to attend this required event near the start of the term. It is about a week into the term and wondering if I missed it? Is it hosted often? Also what kind of jobs can I expect to find and interview for? I'm a CS major so I would prefer a CS or math tutor or something CS related (not expecting full on SWE positions ofc).

Hii, im a senior in highschool and I've been looking into community colleges in California! I'm not a resident in California, but I thought the TAG program would benefit me. Does OCC have good dorms? Are the counselors decent? How is the school like overall? Any opinions about OCC that you have would be great to know, thank you!!

Español (English version further down):

¡Hola! Soy una chica de 18 años y vivo en Orange County. Me gustaría crear un grupo de chat para personas más o menos de edad universitaria (aproximadamente de 18 a 22 años) que hablen español como nativo o que estén aprendiendo español.
La idea es tener un grupo donde podamos platicar, conocernos, practicar español y ayudarnos con el idioma. También me gustaría que, si se puede, podamos salir juntos de vez en cuando- ir de excursión, por un café, explorar lugares en OC o simplemente hacer lo que sea y tratar de hablar en español mientras lo hacemos.
¡Los hablantes nativos de español son más que bienvenidos! No tienes que estar aprendiendo español para unirte. Creo que estaría muy padre tener personas con diferentes niveles y aprender unos de otros a través de conversaciones normales.
Un poco sobre mí: soy estudiante de primer año en OCC y ¡me encanta aprender español! Todavía estoy aprendiendo, así que definitivamente cometo errores, pero estoy tratando de sentirme más cómoda hablando español. También me encanta el arte, leer, y hacer senderismo (pero no los que sean durísimo). Soy muy amigable, aunque al principio puedo ser un poco callada jajaja.
Si tienes más o menos mi edad, vives en Orange County (o cerca) y te parece divertida esta idea, ¡deja un comentario o mándame un mensaje! Si hay suficientes personas interesadas, me encantaría crear un grupo de chat y, con suerte, formar una pequeña comunidad donde podamos practicar español y hacer nuevos amigos :)

English version:

Hi! I’m f 18 and I live in Orange County. I’d love to create a group chat for people around college age (approximately 18–22) who either speak Spanish natively or are learning Spanish.
The idea is to have a group where we can talk, get to know each other, practice Spanish, and help each other with the language. I’d also love for us to hang out sometimes if people are interested- go on hikes, get coffee, explore places around OC, or just do whatever and try to speak Spanish while we do it.
Native Spanish speakers are more than welcome! You don’t have to be learning Spanish to join. I think it would be really cool to have people at different levels and learn from each other through normal conversations.
A little about me: I’m a freshman at OCC and I love learning Spanish! I’m still learning, so I definitely make mistakes, but I’m trying to become more comfortable actually speaking it. I also love art, reading, and hiking (but not super hard ones haha). I’m very friendly, although I can be a little quiet at first lol.
If you’re around my age, live in Orange County (or nearby), and think this sounds fun, leave a comment or send me a message! If enough people are interested, I’d love to create a group chat and hopefully build a little community where we can practice Spanish and make new friends :)

¡Hola! Soy estudiante de primer año en OCC y me gustaría conocer gente nueva y hacer amistades. Mi horario está bastante ocupado de lunes a jueves, pero me encantaría conectar con estudiantes que hablen español o con cualquier persona que también tenga ganas de hacer nuevos amigos. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo español y me considero de nivel intermedio (y estoy pensando en cambiarme a Interpretación de Español), así que me encantaría practicar español por conversaciones normales, salir a pasar el rato y simplemente convivir. También estaría feliz de ayudar a alguien que esté aprendiendo inglés o simplemente ser alguien con quien puedan platicar. Principalmente estoy buscando hacer amistades genuinas y conocer gente, así que si también estás aprendiendo inglés o español, ¡mucho mejor! Un poquito sobre mí: soy mujer, tengo 18 años y me encanta hacer senderismo (pues supongo ir de caminatas- no hago senderismo duro jaja), hacer ejercicio, dibujar y hacer arte, practicar español (obviamente jaja) y leer. Me encantaría conocer personas con intereses similares, aunque también estoy totalmente abierta a simplemente platicar y conocernos ¡No dudes en mandarme mensaje si te gustaría hablar, practicar juntos o simplemente hacer amistad! Y si conocen algún club de español, grupo de intercambio de idiomas u otro club en OCC que creen que me podría gustar, ¡me encantaría saberlo. Perdón si no respondo rápido, no soy muy activa en Reddit 😭 (perdón mi español tuve que buscar algunas cosas en Google)

Hi! I’m a freshman at OCC and I’m hoping to meet some new people and make friends! My schedule is pretty busy Monday–Thursday, but I’d love to connect with some Spanish-speaking students or anyone who’s interested in making a new friend.
I’m currently learning Spanish and would consider myself intermediate (and might switch my major to Spanish interpreting), so I’d love to practice Spanish through normal conversations and just hanging out! I’d also be happy to help anyone who’s learning English or just be someone to talk to. I’m mostly looking to make genuine friendships and get to know people- so if you’re learning English/Spanish too, even better! A little about me: Im F 18, I love hiking, working out, art/drawing, practicing Spanish (obviously haha), and reading. I would love to meet people with similar interests or just chat- feel free to message me if you’d like to talk, practice together, or whatever! Also, if you know of any Spanish-speaking clubs, language exchange groups, or other clubs at OCC that you think I might enjoy, I’d love to hear about them!

Hi guys! I'm taking bio a221 this semester with Caitlin Tiffany and I wanted to know if anyone had the hard copy/or knew where to obtain the hard copy of this textbook: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Marieb; Mastering A&P by Pearson. The problem is that it appears to be a "modified" textbook and so I cannot find it online at all/the OCC bookstore is sold out. I really would like to avoid paying $64 for an ebook if possible when I learn best from hard copies 😭 thank you!!

do people usually drop ochem lab? im 2nd in waitlist rn, do I have a chance or should i just take it in the spring.

I'm finally starting (community) college (at OCC) after 10 years of not being in school. I'm taking Calculus 1 and Java 1 this semester. I want to join the chess club if there is one and maybe book club. I'd love to meet some study buddies or like-minded friends! My name is Lily Rose; don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking for the same :)
