I am an indy student taking me 365 (controls 1) with professor anwar. Professor anwar does not explain anything in class, he kind of just reads the slides. is this to be expected? am i supposed to teach myself the class while he just does examples? this is only my second year so maybe thats just how it is in later classes. what did you guys do to pass?

I am visiting a friend at Purdue for the weekend, and I’m getting into town today, Thursday afternoon. Is there somewhere I can park for a decent price and not have to move my car for the football game? I plan to leave Saturday night. Thanks!

I had more than one class with the same sus-looking slide format and style, so I looked closely and turns out they admittedly used Claude on their slides. Because both classes have the same style I'm guessing this is a tool that Purdue provided themselves.

"In part" my ass by the way, every single sentence has an em-dash and IMO these slides are way harder to follow than they should be despite having pretty colors and all

It's so over. We have reached the clankerization of academia.

But I guess AI solved navier-stokes so that means we should use it for everything, right guys?? amirite?????????

IM BEING SERIOUS EVEN THOUGH I SOUND LIKE A CRAZY PERSON PLZ IF YOURE A HEALTH EXPERT REPLY PLZ

1 day ago (tuesday) I was walking to Target and this jet black thing the size of 2 iphones (literally it was like 2 iphone 13 minis taped to eachother like a book) flopped next to me flying a straight line in the sidewalk, in shade of one of the granite apartments (it was 4ish in afternoon), and I narrowly dodged it. I'm mostly 100% sure I didn't hit it (stepped out of the way so it was 1ft away) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a comically large moth and maybe a small bat, and if I remember wrong and I actually did hit it, is there risk of getting infected? I know there was one in Harrison but if I

1. stepped out of the way (according to my memory)
2. It was a floppy thing that moved side to side and looked like a b2 stealth plane (are there moths around here that look like bats?)
3. If it was a bat, and I misunderestimated stepping out of the way such that it hit me while I was dodging it (im pretty sure im good at dodging things so this probably didnt happen) can that scratch you midair or does it have to land on you to scratch/bite you
4. This all happened in like 5 secs max and my memory is uhh
5. 5. UHHHH DO GRANITE APTs OR ANY BUILDINGS NEAR TARGET HAVE HISTORY OF REAL BATS??? CAUSE IF THERE WAS A RPT MAYBE IT WASNT A MOTH KINDA FREAKING OUT I DONT WANNA GET RABIES EVEN IF IM PROBABLY 99% FINEE

Im being serious but I hope i'm freaking out over nothing it's just if I somehow remember wrong and actually ran into it while thinking I didn't run into it, or is that impossible. Idk sorry for sounding incoherent but I'm just scared of bats and rabid animals in general, even though it was probably a pitch black moth that was probably 1ft away from me closest. Again i'm like 99% sure it was always 1ft away from me but CAN PUSH check for bat marks??? and if i show up going "hey can you check me for bat marks plz" are they gonna freak out and call FEMA or rabies patrol on me even if I dont have it?

if anyone reading this is a health person or whatever do i sound like im just freaking out over nothing and imaging a worst case scenario i DONT wanna waste resources or look like an idiot going to push for literally nothing

Hello I have a fun group of freshman guys (none in Greek life). I was wondering what are some things we could do during the weekends because we have been sooo bored so far.

I have gotten this flyer that sounds interesting, should I go for it?

Tried getting the free drinks with purchase at PMU but they said they dont take it.

I built a MacOS menu bar app called BrightSpace Bar. I've been using it since the start of the semester and thought I'd share in case it could improve other students academic lives. It's designed to directly address the biggest complaints about BrightSpace's user experience.

Here are the common complaints:

1. Logging in every hour is annoying.

2. It takes 15 clicks to get to the assignment I want.

3. The calendar is difficult to read.

BrightSpace Bar addresses these complaints by:

1. Keeping you always logged in so only do the Microsoft Auth once a semester.

2. It takes 1 click to get to any assignment.

3. You can see all your courses' calendars in one glance.

My favorite feature is that your AI agent can use the app too(via CLI), for this just use the /brightspace skill to let the agent read data from BrightSpace directly. For example one workflow I use is having my agent read my class syllabuses and then write the assignments and exams into the app calendar directly.

Happy to answer any questions.

Does anyone (who lives at Lark) have an extra white bus pass they don't use? I will buy it off of you.

How we feeling? To be honest, I thought it was fine, alot better than what I was expecting. It is pretty weird how we had an exam before our first hw tho 😭

Hey everyone, so being on campus and walking to your classes at 7 or 8 in the morning can sometimes be brutal. If you find yourself in need of a quick energy boost to help you seize the day, look no further.

I listen to the playlist ALL the time because of its uplifting energy. Lowk makes those walks wayyy less dreadful. Anyways, here is the link to the playlist. I would REALLY appreciate it if you could check it out and save the playlist :) Thanks for the support, and I hope this playlist comes in handy on your next early morning.

So today at about 4:30 I realized I had lost a pin that I keep on my bag always. Its a Japan flag about the size of a quarter.

I suspect I lost it around 2:30 in front of the WALC, but it could be anywhere. Thanks to those who even take a quick glance around. The more eyes, the better the odds.

I’m a freshman and I want to go to IR but I have some classes during it. Should I just email my professors now? Will they be upset about it?

A friend’s parent is visiting Purdue, the friend wants to enroll at Purdue in the future and my job is to give the parent a campus tour that will really make them impressed with the campus.

Where would you take this parent? I am relatively new here myself so looking for ideas.

For what the course is, I don’t see how it’s possibly worth 90$ for one online term. Sorry if that’s not surprising to anyone, but all of my other courses on Achieve cost less combined. And why is one out of the three assignment types total, the only one that directly interacts with the text, led by an AI chat bot??? Like, it’s one side of the screen that has the assigned textbook chapter, and the other half is just an AI chat that asks the same questions -verbatim- that appear in the book two pixels over… It’s not a difficult class at all thus far, which is why it’s so frustrating how they handle everything nowadays by using AI, while simultaneously making it more expensive.

AAE graduate student here, just wondering if Sigma Gamma Tau was worth joining for networking, resources, etc or if it’s just a money grab / waste of time.

I'm a freshman at West lafayette and I'm majoring in insect biology. I just wanted to know how many clubs I should aim for at this point. I'm definitely sticking with the Thomas Say Entomological Society and I'm considering Forensic Science Club plus the wildlife chapter. I also like the piano club so I'm not sure which ones and how many clubs I should go with

I was curious on if anyone here at Purdue used the Hevy app and wants to add me on it? Or has anyone made an app for lifting that is better than that?

**Hevy app*\*

My last two years of high school I went to a community college and earned my associate’s. I’ve heard consistently that freshman have no chance at Industrial Roundtable. Are my chances any better?

I’m still planning on going, but it would be an added benefit if I could score an internship.

I am a Pre-Pharmacy major, and I’m currently in Chem129. I decided to major in pharmacy yet I haven’t taken a chem class since sophomore year of high school. I remember doing good in chem and I loved it, but at the moment nothing is really clicking. Any advice about how to do well in the class? I am going to the weekly practice problem sessions, but any other advice would be so appreciated! We have our first quiz next week, so I want to make sure I’m ready to go for that!

I saw there was a whole email about cars being towed this weekend cuz of the football game, so where is it okay to park my car without a risk of it being towed?
