Spotted earlier this week near the library. They should at least have a sign notifying pedestrians of this opening. I saw it in advance but given how glued some people are to there phones this is a safety hazard.

General What’s one iconic word that describes GMU?

I'm curious how different universities have their own culture and identity.

If you could pick just ONE word that instantly makes students and alumni think of GMU, what would it be?

Rant Bullying

65 Upvotes

So I was picked on and teased by these two guys last Thursday. I was walking near the JC and these two guys called me names , “ugly”, a girl” and many other names. They even said no girl will like you etc. I have been bullied my whole life and I guess I’m used to it but it still hurts and is never ok. I’ve been so insecure about myself and my body.

For context:
Growing up I was overweight. Like during Covid I weighed 220lbs. I was picked on by everybody at school and therefore didn’t have any friends at all. But during Covid since we in quarantine I decided to work out more and diet so I lost 60lbs in like a year and a half. So from 220-160. Ever since I’ve been in the gym and trying to better myself. I have some health issues and if you guys know what gynecomastia is , I have it. So because of that i feel so insecure about that my whole life and was teased/bullied for it.

I’m a guy btw

Does his class have curves for the midterms and finals? Both of these exams make up 70% of the class grade. I know he doesn't give extra credit assignments.

Better GMU Registration ⚡ (chrome extension link)

Hello, I am Sebastian (cbas23) and I built a chrome extension called Better GMU Registration that adds Rate My Professors ratings and a LOT of quality-of-life features to the registration page. 

I’ve been working a lot to make this extension accurate and easy to use. I hope you guys like it!

--> What does it do?

  • Adds accurate Rate My Professor ratings
  • Makes the rows compact and more readable
  • Improves overall visuals of the table

Try it here: Better GMU Registration ⚡

--> Why I built it

While registering for classes, I used an extension to add RMP ratings on the registration page. Everything was going well for me, until I started to notice a few things that bothered me. The rating of the professors being sometimes wrong was one of them. The layout of the table and how much space each row takes on the screen was another one. I always felt that these things could be done better, so I started building my own extension to fix all of this. 

--> NOTES

The extension is designed to be very accurate. Professors must strictly match the full name before showing them on the page.

This means that every professor with some rating (except 0.0) will match to the right professor. Professors might have ratings but won’t appear on the extension because the checker is very strict.

Shoutout to Jeong Min Cho for creating the original "Rate My GMU Professors" extension, which inspired this project 🙌

Want to report a bug or have a suggestion? Feel free to write a comment or contact me: [contact@cbas23.me](mailto:contact@cbas23.me) 📩

--> How do I use it?

Using it is really simple. Just install it, and it will change the registration pages. You can click on the professor to see their RMP page. If the professor’s rating isn’t there, it’ll open RMP as if you searched for the professor.

This extension has a Privacy Policy. In short, this extension won’t collect/store any data. It only uses the professors’ names to get the RMP data directly. 

This is an open source project and not affiliated or endorsed by George Mason or Rate My Professors.

Here’s the repo if interested on the implementation 😁

General Sap complications

So, my sap appeal was not approved, despite meeting all requirements (apparently death of a sibling doesn’t count, even with death certificate but that’s a problem on its own) and now, I am looking for loans to help me to pay for school. However loans that do not need SAP requirements are still being rejected because of guess what, sap. What do I do
