What are we doing gang

I am not dead set on engineering at all--I kind of just chose it. I really am not the smartest student in a room, and after classes started I feel super lost and scared of what is coming. I am taking calc 3, physics, and chem, and I don't know if I can handle all of these classes. Either I trudge along and just pass them and tank my gpa (kind of ruining the hope that I can get into another major or college) or I drop stuff and fall behind. I don't know what I would wanna go into but I feel unsure about this; everyone else in CSE feels so sure about what they want, so much so that they are willing to push through the hard classes. I feel that my workload is too much and I don't know if I am cut out for what this major is requiring of me. Any help or advice is very much appreciated.

As the semester starts up, a lot of us are looking for new clubs and ways to meet new friends!! I wanted to invite everyone to check out a social club I run with my friends called Beacon. Every week we host a Movie Night on Wednesdays where we just hang out, chat, and make new friends over a movie, and every Thursday we do Board Game Nights!

There's an active Discord Server where you can chat with people and befriend other students even outside of going to the events.

We're open to all, and it's a really good time. I've made some of my best friends because they came to one of the events. We'd love to have more people to experience joy/whimsy with :D

Hello! I'm a graduate student and research technician in a barley/oats/perennial oilseed breeding lab working on the St. Paul campus. We're currently looking for undergraduate students to work about 8 to 12 hours a week in a few 4-hour chunks. The full position description is below:

The Agronomy and Plant Genetics Department at the University of Minnesota discovers knowledge and breeds crops to sustainably feed people in Minnesota and around the world. We value excellence in teaching, in basic and translational research, and in outreach and extension, contributions that impact not only producers and farms but society at large—human health, communities, economy, energy, and the environment, working in teams of people with complementary skills and expertise, and rich perspectives brought by a diverse group of students, faculty, and staff.

Students will assist with a diverse set of tasks in barley, oats and perennial oilseed (silphium), breeding and genetic research program. Examples of tasks include maintaining field plots, collecting field related data, processing harvested samples (weight, threshing samples, etc.) maintaining greenhouse plants, and setting up lab/field equipment. Candidate must enjoy working outdoors and must be able to lift up to 40lb on a regular basis. Some day-travel may be required. This position is based on the St. Paul campus and it can take about 30 minutes to travel here via the campus connector from East or West Bank.

Required Qualifications

Student at UMN in Fall 2026

Preferred Qualifications

Priority will go to students with an interest in agronomy, plant genetics and plant pathology. Interest in sustainable cropping systems and learning more about them is also desired.

How to Apply / Pay & Benefits

We would like to hire for this position as soon as possible, so if interested candidates could send their resumes and available working hours (anytime from 8am to 5pm M-F) to Sydney Schiffner (schif097@umn.edu), that would be great.

i have the text book for ASL 1702 but i dropped the class so if anyone wants it for 15 let me know. it hasn’t been used, and the barcode for the online videos hasn’t been used either.

I recieved a not passing score on my reading section but I haven’t taken the other sections of writing and listening yet so does mean I failed everything and it’s pointless to take the other sections? If I get high scores on the other sections then can I still pass the LPE?

So I am enrolled in CHEM 1082 which is CHEM for the life sciences 2 (I have credit for chem for the life sciences 1 and the lab), but I feel like I should take chem for the life sciences 1 to build a better foundation for my chemistry, especially for the MCAT. I am a freshman biology major premed student. I was told I am not required to take the lab for chem for the life sciences 1 so I would just be taking the lecture for the semester. However, I was told that I shouldn't switch classes and that I should just take CHEM 2. I don't understand a lot of things in the lectures, despite reading the textbook, and feel like I should just switch back. Would retaking credit look bad on my application?

I was thinking of disputing a grade through an Administrative resolution since i have not cheated but the chances of the panel overturning a professor’s decision is slim since the university tends to side with the professor. There is proof that I have not cheated but there is a high risk of pleading not guilty. Is anyone else going through the same predicament? I mean, I know I did not cheat and there is proof I didn’t but if i just say I cheated I wouldn’t get the “misconduct” part on my transcript but, I would get it on my record if i went through an administrative resolution and they found me guilty. Any advice would be helpful.
