University HELP! Academic misconduct advice

0 Upvotes

I recently took the Bio 1AL exam. The instructor said not to talk 2-3 times. After the exam, me and my friend were talking about the difficulty of the exam while we were waiting in line to turn in our papers. We were also flipping through our exam. Nothing else happened.

The instructor caught us, said we were talking, then took our exam. He said the student misconduct office will reach out to us and there's nothing we can do.

I just emailed the student advocate office, and I'm hoping that this will be just passed on as a warning and I will still receive normal grading. Is that possible? Does anyone have any advice on what to do, or what they think will happen? I admit that we shouldn't have been talking but I genuinely wasn't cheating in any way.

Thanks for reading

• Upvotes

Classes are hella empty. The expectation that we keep chuggin along with the same weekly course-load while studying for exams that weigh just as much, if not more, on our grades as finals is insane. Smart ass school with dumbass practices smh

Remarkable what happens when someone reads the legal tax of what this $17B regressive blank check is - and knows the RTM traffic impact studies were written by transit contractors and RTM donors.

University I'm so tired of failing at this school (pre-med edition)

62 Upvotes

I really just wanted to rant on here bc I can not bring myself to cry about exams anymore because I'm so mentally tapped out. Ever since sophomore year, I have not passed a single exam with a B or higher. I'm currently a junior, and I am taking chem 3a and physics 8a together, and I just did both midterms last week. I feel so sick bc I know I did so horribly on them despite how much I studied, went to OH, and I even finally got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD (which was what ruined my life sophomore year; I had to get care or I was bound to drop out). And even though the scores are not out yet, I feel so much anxiety that I can't even do tasks bc of how anxious I am. This has been happening for so long, and I swore to myself that I would get all As from junior year onward (since I'm premed and want an upward trend in my grades). But I feel so useless and stupid, idk what to do anymore. I can't bring myself to cry; I can't even celebrate my birthday tomorrow bc of how stressed I am about failing. I'm just so mentally and emotionally checked out, like I'm done.

Local Anyone interested in joining a virtual walking group for accountability?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Anyone interested in joining my virtual walking group, Berkeley Step Check? 🚶‍♀️ I commute to campus and am not always around, so I thought this would be a fun way to connect with others virtually. My personal goal is to lose some weight and stay consistent with walking lol. Whether your goal is weight loss, staying active, or just getting more steps in, we can share our progress and keep each other accountable. Open to all! :)
