Nothing. Trying to get pumped up to do school work, but I'm a little burnt out.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:05 PM

I hear ya there. I've got 2 papers I've got to write, but I'm doing them this evening.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:08 PM

Does tilted kilt have wireless? Was thinking about heading over there and doing homework.

frost 11-15-2009 12:09 PM

Mine are due today, but I'm just bleh.

frost 11-15-2009 12:11 PM

I'm gonna go "no" on the wireless, but not 100% sure. Never seen anything about them having it.

I don't have to have them in until midnight. I've got a PR paper and a creative story I've got to write, then I start a group online project next week. I hate group online projects. I usually don't start my papers until 4 or 5. For 1000 words it takes me about 45min with minimal research.

Grand Canyon University. You?

frost 11-15-2009 12:15 PM

Same, rofl.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:16 PM

Nice! You don't happen to work there too do you?

frost 11-15-2009 12:17 PM

Negative. Wish I did to lower the price, lol.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:19 PM

Heh, yeah it is on the expensive side. I can't wait till May, I'm finally done. Although I think I'll jump right into my dual masters.

frost 11-15-2009 12:20 PM

I can't afford my student loan, so I have to keep going until I make more money :roflpuke2:
I'll be done a couple months after you I believe. What's your degree?

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:23 PM

I can understand that.

Communications - Digital Film. You?

frost 11-15-2009 12:28 PM

I didn't even know they offered that :D
Public Safety.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:31 PM

Yup, they recently changed the program names in communications. It's changing again since they are opening the 'new' arts school.

There are a lot of PPD a PFD that go through the PS and Homeland programs.

Yeah, when I started, they were developing a general safety program for people like me (OSHA type safety). Then once I got about 8 months under my belt, they canceled that program. So my options were to go somewhere else and lose all my credits that wouldn't transfer, or get a PS degree that "somewhat" relates.

That happened to me. I originally transferred into their graphic design program then they dropped it and it was a communications degree. If I wasn't so dead set about not doing 3d animation I would have a dual concentration BA but I want to be done with it already.

Exactly, I had already lost a few credits transferring there from UOP, so I just want to get a degree and get it over. No one cares what your bachelors is in anyway, rofl.

PyroCustoms 11-15-2009 12:42 PM

Exactly. I'm going to get my dual masters with the MBA Healthcare Admin and MS in leadership.

frost 11-15-2009 12:47 PM

They had one of those virtual open houses where the dean and assistant dean respond to your posts, here is one I recently sent them:

Afternoon Gents,
Thanks for opening up a line to us. I do have some things to say, please take them as constructive criticism and not griping; or at least as constructive as criticism can be typed out in essay form.

I transferred over from University of Phoenix because GCU advertised in a magazine that it would be offering a degree in "Occupational Safety." When I called to enroll however, I was told that it wasn't quite ready to go quite yet, but if I enrolled in "Public Safety" I could transfer my major to the new "Occupational Safety" program after a couple months. A couple months pass, Jennifer Martinez,) who I had been working with), left GCU, and now no one I speak with even knows about the "Occupational Safety" program.
Your academic advisor told me I was confused, because if there had been any talk of a program like that, she would know about it. I sent her a scanned copy of the magazine, which I have also attached for you, and she had nothing to say. By the time I learned I had been "bait and switched," I was several courses into the "Public Safety" course, and now would lose thousands of dollars and several months spent if I left GCU. I've never received an explanation as to what happened to the "Occupational Safety" degree you boasted.

I need tuition statements showing tuition paid for individual courses for my company's tuition reimbursement plan, but Web Advisor doesn't provide them. I have to call the business office every semester to get something I can use, which is simply text pasted into an email. I have to format it manually and convert it to PDF before I can use it.

The separation of Angel, MyGCU, and Webadvisor leaves much to be desired. I'm sure all the students would prefer a central place that has everything we need, including our classes.

As a continuation of the above, Angel, MyGcu, and Webasvisor are dreadful programs. My comments mirror many of my classmates:
Constant resizing of the editor window while typing is mind-numbing. So I'm forced to type things out in Word and then cut/paste. I have seen students mildly complimentary of the system, and have to wonder if they have experienced anything else. I have attended online college at UOP, and my wife has attended online at NAU; so I know the difference between good and bad.

I question how you force us to take your polls/surveys to finish our classes. There is something blatantly wrong with blackmailing students with their grade. This is twice as audacious since we never even receive feedback regarding the issues we informed the school of.

My comments also mirror those of Academic Advisement. One of my first classes was a repeat of a class I had taken at my previous University. I figured the class had not transferred over, so I took it again. When I was able to find my classes that had transferred, I discovered it did indeed transfer, meaning I had taken it again for no reason. When I called to ask about it, the person I spoke with was very accusatory toward me, telling me I should be paying attention to my classes and what I need/don't need. If that response is true, what do I need them for? Give me the ability to pick my classes, fire them, and lower the costs to the students.

Illegal to tint lights?
 
So I am wondering if it is illegal to have any kind of tint on your headlights and tailights. I was told that here in Arizona you can go as dark as you want on the rear but none on the front. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this. Also, anyone have any idea what a ticket like that would cost if you were cited for having tinted headlights?

frost 12-09-2009 09:47 PM

Anyone want to admit to being the black Z on the 10 west at 6:45 this morning at 35th ave?

PyroCustoms 12-11-2009 06:06 PM

As long as you can still see Red or yellow refelectors in the rear and yellow reflectors in the front it's not illegal.

L33TZOR 12-14-2009 05:23 PM

to chico370z ...Ive had a friend get stopped for them twice in one day, then again more friends that have sprayed or vinyled them and never been bothered about it at all.
how much are you finding those can you p/m me?
Technically or realistically are two different answers.
