Academics SLDS requests for people with AuDHD when it comes to Microbiology and Biochem

0 Upvotes

Hi y'all. I am currently taking micro and I need to take biochem next semester. I am struggling A LOT. I have autism and ADHD and I'm just now figuring how out how to use SLDS properly. I've mainly been struggling because I was afraid of asking for help, or asking for too much and they think I'm making things up or asking for special treatment or something. But I am REALLY struggling with Micro, it's nothing but brute memorization and my brain doesn't work that way, but I don't know how to bring it up to the professor. Every time I try I get told to read my notes, look at the slides, or read the book. I'm scared I'm going to fail. We're going on week eight and I only have two more weeks to drop the class if that's what I need to do until this is figured out. It is a requirement for most vet schools but I genuinely can't understand how to do well in this class. I do nothing but study, I watch tons of videos from Pearson+ as well as study the slides... I would much rather take OChem with lab again than take either of these classes.

I guess my questions are, has anyone else struggled with this?

How did you overcome it?

What kind of accommodations are reasonable or even a possible to ask for?

I do have a meeting set up with my professor on Monday and am trying to set one up with my SLDS specialist sometime next week so any info on what to ask for or what might help would be great. I do much better in classes that are hands on, involve my special interests (animals), or have concepts that I can cognitively puzzle together like math and even ochem (as long as it's taught in a certain way).

Thanks for the help. I truly appreciate it.

Social Where y’all’s from?

• Upvotes

Hi guys

I can’t wait to attend soon, I’m excited but I was curious. Where are yalls from (like born and raised)? I know most of the undergrad students are from Ohio, but I know like close to 20% are from out of state. So for anyone out of state or who can say, where are you guys from? what are the out of state sending their residents to Ohio?

I was raised in SD, but moved back to WA due to family. I regret it completely, but got the experience. I’ll probably assume, it’s mainly Midwest, and east cost people are Ohio right?

Parking / Transport Parking for TØP concert

Going to see TØP on Saturday!!! We’re not sure what the parking situation is there. We’d rather walk for a bit than get stuck in a really close garage for an hour trying to get out after the concert. Looking for suggestions!

Academics Advice for Linear Algebra in the spring vs summer

1 Upvotes

Hello!
I was researching my options for next semester and ran into a difficult choice.

  1. I can take Linear Algebra next semester (Spring) both in person and online. But I am juggling 17 credits of all major STEM subjects, so not too sure if I can perform my best. And obviously, instructors aren't out yet.
  2. I was thinking of moving Linear Algebra to the summer, completely online (cost no issue), but upon researching the professors for the online sections from last summer... I am not too sure. Not anymore. Rushing through Linear in 8 weeks with a bad professor doesn't seem too wise either.

But I need to complete Linear before next fall, in time for ODE+PDE, so I really have two choices. And both have some really heavy cons in my opinion. Would love some advice from those that took it over the summer online, or in spring with a heavy workload!

TIA!

Wanted to go here as I saw they specialize in Binocular Vision disorders but saw Google reviews were a mixed bag?

If you’ve been please give me your honest review, especially if you also have the same vision issues!
