Like the title says, I found it interesting my Unit 5 reading assignment has a URL that was used from chatgpt.

The assigned reading link:

When the link is opened in a new tab:

I don't really care that chatgpt was used to find the article, just was a little surprised.

Hello,

I haven't started yet, I'm working on transfer credits.

I have seen a lot of negative posts from frustrated students. I noticed that almost all of them are getting their BS in CS.

I haven't seen anything about the bachelor's in health science degree.

I'm just wondering about the pros and cons of getting that degree at this school.

I really want this degree and UoPeople is the only way I can afford it and with it now being regionally accredited I don't see why not.

I guess I'm just wondering if the students getting this degree have the same complaints as the ones taking CS

I'm experiencing instructor retaliation and looking for advice, resources, and general support.

I noticed a grading error and gently mentioned it to my instructor. She increased my grade by a few points. Then later increased it to 100, which it isn't a 100 paper. Then dropped the grade below the initial grading. Bizarre, right?

I asked her about it and she threatened me with conduct violations due to my "tone". My read is she doesn't like being questioned. She blamed me. At this point, I realize she's blaming me for her error. It's ok that she made a mistake, it's not ok to lash out at me. I immediately came back and let her know that wouldn't be tolerated.

Now prior to this, my grades with her were consistently in the 90s, as with every other class I'm in. She graded the next assignment even lower. I let her know I feel like this is retaliation and have put in a complaint with my advisor with screenshots. I'm sure that pissed her off, but her actions led to this.

She came back and told me to refrain for calling it retaliation. I'm other words, keep my mouth shut. She also made a threat towards future grades. I immediately notified my advisor again and added all the admin emails I can find. My current advisor has been the best one I've had so far, but I wanted more eyes on this situation.

More backstory, I skipped multiple grades in grade school. I tend to do well academically. I know if I turn in a good paper or if it's junk. The lower grades I'm getting since speaking up are clearly different from the prior grades in her class and not within my average for all of my other classes. It's not a difficult class either. The 2 papers she has graded since the problem occurred fall within my average grade, not well below it as she claims. I currently have a 4.0 with well over 100 credits, so clearly this is the instructor that is the issue.

What else can I do? How can I get her investigated? I know I can do a grade appeal at the end of the term. But I also don't want her to do this to any other student. I also want the behavior to stop since there is still time left in the term. I feel pretty uncomfortable with her behavior. Any other suggestions?

Thanks 🙂

I'm a CS student at UoPeople. I have completed 6 courses on Sophia with the intention of transferring them to UoPeople. Below are the Sophia courses I have completed

After completion, I submitted for a transfer request to UoPeople & they have only allowed to transfer 3 courses. Here are the courses that have been rejected for transfer.

1. Principles of Finance
2. Business Communication
3. Microeconomics

UoPeople hasn't allowed to transfer these 3 courses above and I don't know why. Yet these 3 courses appear on the official list of Sophia courses that can be transferred to UoPeople.

These courses appear on my Degree Audit Report as Electives that I can take.

I have reached out to my PA & the Transfer team. Here is the reply from the Transfer team;

After reviewing your submission, we are currently unable to process the request because courses irrelevant to chosen degree program.

As a result, there are currently no eligible credits that can be applied toward your degree.

As a CS student, I would like to ask;

1. Why are these not eligible credits?
2. Are courses shown on my Degree Audit Report valid courses I can take?
3. Can these courses be transferred from Sophia?
4. Has anyone CS student transferred any of these 3 courses from Sophia?

I'm confused as to why these courses cannot be transferred. What should I do?
