@gravymixsamples gosh i’m so sorry you’ve both experienced this. i’ve gotten the same message from all of them, too, even after repeated explanations of why they should stop. i also had to explain to one of them why $125 is actually a lot of money for stata and unreasonable to just “budget” :/
@soeun___kim no no no i promise you it’s REALLY heavy!! my advisor recommended i take only 2-3 social science classes a term so in the other classes i can work a different part of my brain that is not the reading. because no one can read that much!!!
@oyveyitsollie oh my goodness are your profs not using the name you put into iris??? or if you haven’t changed your info in iris i can tell you the process to change your first name/pronouns in iris if that would be helpful! :)
this!!!! reedies i would also recommend taking the isbn of the textbooks you’re required to purchase and search them in the reed library database. over half of my required books are FREE EBOOKS we can all access without log in details. it is bonkers that they don’t tell us this !
