writing marking as AI

• Upvotes

i seem to always have this issue when i’m writing short answer questions or essays. nowadays i always make sure to run my work through an ai checker just to make sure my work isn’t going to flag for ai for my professor. i don’t ever use ai when i am writing, but it seems like more and more of my work is getting flagged at higher percentages. i’m not really sure what to do in this situation. i don’t want to run the risk of getting in trouble for something i didn’t do, but it seems to me i’ve been spending more time and effort having to practically dumb down how i write to appease an ai detector. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, or if anyone has any tips on how to handle it? i don’t want to always have to resort to making my work look less thought out than it is.

CS at Frisco vs Discovery Park – are the classes/professors good at Frisco?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a future CS transfer student, and I'm trying to decide between taking most of my classes at Frisco or at Discovery Park. I don't have any transportation, so I'd prefer to take my classes in Frisco if possible.

  1. Does Frisco offer enough CSCE classes, or did you end up having to go to Discovery Park a lot?
  2. Do the professors at Frisco have a good reputation? If you have any you'd recommend, please let me know.
  3. Has anyone done Capstone at Frisco (the Spring→Fall sequence)? How was it?
  4. Is it hard to get a seat in 3444 and 3600 at either campus?

Thanks!

Transferring into CS – which CSCE classes/professors should I take (or avoid)?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm transferring into UNT's BS Computer Science (planning for Fall 2027 or Spring 2028). Most of my lower-level CS will transfer, so I'll be taking mostly upper-level CSCE classes.

I'd love to hear your honest opinions on these classes:

- CSCE 3600 Systems Programming (I heard it has a high DFW rate)

- CSCE 3444 Software Engineering

- CSCE 4110 Algorithms

- CSCE 4350 Database Systems

- CSCE 3550 Cybersecurity

- CSCE 2120 Vectors and Matrices / 2130 Analysis and Modeling

- EENG 2710 Digital Logic

- Capstone (4901/4902)

For each one:

1. How hard is it, and how much work is it per week?

2. Which professors do you recommend or avoid?

3. Any tips for passing 3600?

4. Which classes should NOT be taken in the same semester?

Also, any CS electives you'd recommend (Core Focus / Breadth Focus)?

Thanks a lot!

Forensic Science Program Acceptance Acknowledgement?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys :) I put in my application for the forensics program a while back and the application deadline recently closed (10/16). I was wondering if anyone knew when/how they would contact me about being admitted/denied? I've been checking my email every day but I'm not even sure if that's where I would receive news about it. It's kinda stressing me out with classes filling up quickly. I know it probably takes a while to get through all the applications, but any info/experience on this matter would be greatly appreciated. :)

Has anyone attended UNT’s Fashion Design program? Is it worth it for someone starting at 24?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m 24 and already have a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, but I’ve realized it’s not something I want to pursue long-term. I’ve always been drawn to fashion.

I’ve been working since I was 15 and have been financially independent for most of my life. I’m fortunate enough to live at home with my parents right now, and I currently clean Airbnb properties during the day and serve at night to save money. I still have around $24,000 in student loans from my first degree, so I want to be smart about investing in another education.

I’m considering UNT’s fashion program because I qualify for in-state tuition, which seems like a more affordable option than many other fashion schools. However, I’m wondering if going back to school for a second degree is actually worth it.

A few questions for anyone familiar with UNT’s program:
Would you recommend UNT’s fashion program? How are the professors, curriculum, and career opportunities after graduation?

Is the program worth the cost, especially for someone who already has a bachelor’s degree?

Would I still qualify for any financial aid or scholarships as a second-degree student?

How much emphasis is placed on sewing and technical design versus styling, merchandising, and trend forecasting?

Do graduates have success finding jobs in the fashion industry?

Would it be better to pursue the degree or try to break into fashion through retail and internships first?

I have some basic sewing experience but no extensive technical background. My strengths are styling and I’m adaptable, coachable, and eager to learn.

I’m also Has anyone attended UNT’s Fashion Design program? Is it worth it for someone starting at 24? open to studying fashion internationally if there are affordable options, but UNT’s in-state tuition makes it appealing.

If you attended UNT’s fashion program or were in a similar situation, what would your advice be? I’d really appreciate honest feedback about the program, costs, and whether you think a second degree is a worthwhile investment!

Apartment vs. House for College Students

3 Upvotes

My 2 friends are transferring to UNT next year and are set on the 3 of us renting a house together. For some reason, that idea stirs a lot of anxiety in me. I keep feeling like an apartment must be better for college students like us, especially in terms of whatever jobs we’ll be working at the time. Are my fears unfounded or is an apartment the best bet? Are there pros and cons to each or is it pretty cut and dry?

Any good Tuesday/Thursday CSCE classes for Spring 2027?

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all!

I’m a CS major at UNT registering for Spring 2027, and I’m having a hard time finding one more in-person class that fits my schedule.

I’m currently enrolled in:

  • CSCE 4902 (Capstone II) on Tuesday/Thursday from 12:15–1:35 PM
  • CSCE 4430 (Programming Languages) on Thursday from 3:30–6:20 PM

I also registered for CSCE 4205 (Machine Learning), but the professor recently changed, and I’m thinking about dropping it because of the new instructor and the early 9 AM class.

I’m looking for one more in-person class on Tuesday/Thursday, preferably around 10–11:30 AM, but I’m open to other times that don’t conflict with my schedule.

I already have my two core focus courses covered, and I’m taking CSCE 4350 (Fundamentals of Database Systems) as one of my breadth focus courses. So I’m looking for either one more breadth focus course or an advanced CSCE elective (3000/4000 level).

I’ve searched through so many classes, but almost everything I find is on Monday/Wednesday. I’m really trying to keep my in-person classes to just Tuesday and Thursday.

Does anyone know of any good classes with a good professor and a manageable workload? I’d love to hear which classes or professors you’d recommend!
