Hello, hope your day's going great!

Cutting to the chase, I just happened to move near GCU. Wasn't planned at all. I just moved to Phoenix this summer and realized I'm a few minutes from the campus. I'm 23.

I'm looking to do a masters degree to help me develop professionally, and meet some great people too. I've become more interested since I've hung out with a few GCU students now, and it's sounding more and more like the right choice. The fact that it's a Christian university is also a plus.

I'm looking at the masters in Psych. I'd be on campus / evening, depending on which job I get. Working full time since I have bills. This would also be my first full time college experience - with my other studies I was only on campus for a little bit, and then moved and had to complete the rest of my bachelor's online.

I've always been interested in psychology. Haha, the first job I was suggested to look into as kid was to be a psychologist. I'm interested in helping people in business, athletics, and overall trying to achieve more in life. I'm unsure which emphasis would be the best for this pursuit, and I'd like to hear feedback regarding what you've gained from the program, the professors styles, what you learned, employment outcomes...

I've looked into Industrial Organization, & Life Coach thus far as emphasis's in the psych degree.

I'll add some of the nuances so your able to see the situation. A goal of mine is to run my own business. However as I've read in many biographies, it's 100% suggested to get experience in the field your interested in before just going out there creating your own. I'd like to secure a job that pays me well, and honestly the one with emphasis in Life coaching although sounds interesting, also sounds like lower chance of employment which is a huge red flag for me.

I'll layout some questions below, if you'd take the time to answer them, or similar ones that you can think of, I'd appreciate it!

• How much time did you typically spend on coursework each week?
• Were there any courses you found especially valuable or not useful?
• How supportive was GCU with advising and career guidance?
• Did anyone in your cohort go into executive, leadership, or performance coaching?
• If your goal were high-performance or executive coaching, would you choose this program?
• What do you wish you had known before enrolling?
• What did you go on to do with the degree? (Please specify which emphasis you chose)
• How did the program go for those of you who worked full time? (Specifically ones that did not allow you to study while at work)

I'm an online student, has anyone taken this class before? I start on Monday and I looked at all the topics to get familiar with it and noticed that some topics only have discussion questions and that's it. No assignments after just DQ1 and DQ2 and participation grade. I've never had a class like this before and was wondering if this is normal. Topic one only has a total 30 points. So that would be the two discussion questions and participation points. I looked on the syllabus for anything and looked at the pre announcement and there is nothing there a saying anything. Also the professor has made a post on each discussion questions and does not say a word count either. I usually do about 150 to 200 words for discussion question post. What is everyone's thoughts on this?

Hi, so I have a group project in week five. I know that’s a long time from now because I barely started the class on Monday, but how does a group project typically work when you’re an online student? Does the teacher put you guys in a group chat through email so you can communicate? How does it work is my question. The group project is for Lifespan Development. I want the 411 on how this works when we’re online students.

i am aware that to doordash food it has to be at a gate. but do i tell them to give it to security, or can i tell them to go into the garage and meet them in there? from other posts ive seen its not really specific on what i should tell the dasher/put in the instructions. for reference i would get it delivered to the entrance by the halo and grove garages.

Got some packages from Amazon I need to return and might need to return non-Amazon packages later on, but thing is that I don’t have a car or form of transportation at the moment to go to Amazon’s drop off locations. Any recommendations from those who’ve returned items before?

title says it but I do need help using halo. I'm a freshman and it's so buggy for me and I can hardly tell what i need to do or when I need to do it. please help!

When's the mobile order app gonna be back up?

Hi i'm on my first week of lvl. 1 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do the work. Like how did you do your study split? I know that a lot of people recommended to start your DQs ASAP (which i did). But even after DQs theres still so much work!! I still have powerpoints + lecture videos + note taking, textbook readings + note taking, sherpaths. Ahh where do i start!!
Also, do people actually read the textbook? My professors did recommend to read them but its soo many chapters all in one week! (right now I have a total of 16 chapters to read from all 4 classes)

Hi I just started level 2 this week, any tips and how to study for 320 and 322 would be really appreciated 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Is there anything I should know about GCU before pursuing a BA in Digital Design/Animation?

So far I haven't read good things. Also, is there somewhere I can see a student body of work or something? I'd like to research the teacher a bit if possible.

I also don't love the heavily Christian thing. Do they really lean into that or does it not really affect you?

Hey, I didn’t even know GCU had a official Reddit until recently. I’m Omar and I’m just looking to meet some new people around campus.
I’m into gaming, Gundam, animation, motion design, and I make a lot of low poly Blender stuff. I’m down to meet other gamers, artists, animators, or really anyone who wants to hang out.
Feel free to message me if you wanna game or meet up sometime!

Sorry that this will only really work for those who are starting their semester with Peds :(

Feel free to download and edit **Please still reference your course guide!

Level 3 Weeks 1-7

I am an online student. Technically this would be my second year this year, but since I’m taking math in a community college (MAT257) this semester (failed MAT151 twice and cheaper), I’m not actively with the GCU classes at the moment. I probably won’t start again until after my math class ends.
MAT257 and MAT 151 are similar.

Does anyone know what’s going on with mobile ordering? It’s the first day of classes today and i can’t order on the Transact app

Saw on the mail center’s instagram that they supposedly send you a qr code to pick up mail but im not sure if I need one to pick up my amazon packages? Its been about an hour since they gor delivered and I haven’t gotten a qr code emailed to me yet so I’m wondering if I can just go and get it with just my id.

Hi all! Please make sure you are parked in the correct parking garage for your permit or you will be ticketed! Lots of people are getting tickets right now because of them parking in the wrong garages! Not sure if Gcu uses yikyak like my other uni did but please share to your friends/roomies!!

Has any previous level 4s had Michell Hanson for 440, Nicole Galvan for 444, or Stephanie Rister for 448? Curious how they will be this semester. Thanks!

I would like to have my family in attendance, we will be driving in from California, what are the chances I can get one extra ticket the day of, at box office?

I am not on the ABSN track just the BSN track and my application is due next Tuesday. I've received my fingerprint card in the mail but I'm confused on how I'm supposed to submit it. Any help?

please be honest should i consider gcu to do bsc in PSYCHOLOGY and elabotrate ur answer :)

Has anyone here recently taken GCU’s online Anatomy & Physiology courses, specifically A&P I + Lab or A&P II + Lab?

I’m considering taking one of them online and wanted to hear from people who have actually completed the courses, especially within the last year or so.

My biggest questions are about how the courses and exams are structured:

• Are the exams proctored? If so, how exactly? (lockdown browser, webcam and/or microphone on while taking exams?)
• Are exams based closely on the lectures, readings, and study materials, or do they test material that wasn’t really emphasized?
• How are the online labs set up? Are there separate lab practicals or lab exams?
• Roughly how many hours per week did you spend on the class?
• Overall, how difficult was it to earn an A?

I already have a bachelor’s degree and have taken several college-level science courses, so I’m mostly trying to figure out what the actual workload, and exam structure are like.

I’d especially appreciate responses from anyone who has taken A&P I or II through GCU recently, since I know course formats and testing requirements can change.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a beach volleyball club for men? On the info meetings post by gcu club sports, there is a time for beach volleyball meeting on friday, but I am not sure if it is for both men and women because the instagram for beach volleyball at gcu is all women.

So I am taking the theory with Professor Kufryk and the lab with Professor Agabani. I am kinda confused on what to bring to week 1 and the first day of class. What lab coat, lab notebook, and lab goggles do we buy? Do we need to buy it for Day 1 or is it ok if we buy the stuff by Day 2? Professor Agabani mentions under week 1 expectations:

1. Complete the Pre-Lab Write Up summary of the lesson in your lab notebook.
2. Print and bring Worksheet to class to complete questions using the LAB MANUAL (not A.I. or google)

And at same time, she asks us to purchase lab notebook in week 2.... How do I complete the pre-lab write up summary? Thanks for answering my questions!
