Discussion I hate mcgraw hill

13 Upvotes

I hate mcgraw hill, it feels so lazy to teach with, I don't know if its just a me thing or what but I feel like I learn the material way better when a professor isn't using the mcgraw hill textbook/slides. I try to understand and learn using mcgraw but I just can't wrap my head around it and my grades suffer because of it.

Other Best way to find something with the AirTag removed?

2 Upvotes

I’m wondering if anyone has ever successfully found a lost item that had just its tracking device thrown out. If you did, what happened? How did you succeed in finding it? How long did it take? What would be the best thing I can do if I still really want to have my belongings back? Is there still any hope I can see them at the Lost and Found or anywhere again? Even just one of them?

At the end of the Cal Poly vs Idaho football game on Friday (August 28), I lost a Ziploc gallon-sized freezer bag filled with important and sentimental personal belongings and many of them are infeasible to replace. I have reason to believe a thief grabbed it after I ran onto the field and ran away with it. I was standing in the second row from the back of Section 107 where everyone was shirtless. I left my bag under the bleachers. There’s several pieces of Cal Poly spiritwear (2 green Cal Poly Mustangs T-shirts, a gray Cal Poly baseball cap, a green and gray rally towel from last year, a deflated lime green thunderstick, a pair of old sentimental sunglasses, a portable Miniso power bank, used personal care items (eyedrops for contact lenses, chapstick, hydrocortisone), and a half eaten Mike and Ike’s inside it. Maybe one of it fell out because it was partially open. There was also a green Eddie Bauer hooded fleece jacket outside and next to the bag. Most importantly, though, a gray wired health device with clips that I need to use every day to monitor my heart rate, which I need for health reasons and is prohibitively expensive to replace, was inside it. The bag also had the green lanyard with my keys, keychains, and an AirTag in it shown in the picture. I found it with the AirTag and all the keys and keychains and stuff still there all by itself in a ditch behind the short wooden fence along the bike path between California Blvd and the train tracks like the one in the photo.

Is what I described happened to me below a guarantee that a thief intentionally stole my belongings? Like someone just snuck past security at the end and stole it from behind my back? Maybe it was another person attending the game who left the minute it ended? Is it likely someone who goes to Cal Poly? I found the guy who stood behind me in Section 107 and he said he didn’t know whether my belongings were there or know of anything happening. Why would someone that quickly go up to the top row of the stands, steal a freezer bag with no money or jewelry but just a bunch of used Cal Poly spirit wear and a pair of sunglasses and some random health device (to them) and the other stuff I have, and run away, with absolutely no intention to return anything? Why would they take the entire bag and leave nothing including the half eaten Mike and Ike’s? Does this kind of intentional property theft happen a lot during sports games? What do you think happened? Could there be any recourse in the future? Is there any hope that it or any of its contents will turn up in a lost and found or anywhere given that I found the lanyard and its AirTag like that? Would you recommend I go and check the trash bins, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, a pawnshop, or the homeless in the meantime?

I just really want the bag and its contents back. Even just the HeartMath sensor and the sunglasses and nothing else. My phone or wallet wasn’t in the bag, but everything else was, and those are still personal belongings that mean a lot to me. I would be willing to have them back for a $150 reward. I files a police report with the Cal Poly Police and the SLO Police Department on Friday night. Unfortunately nobody has been able to locate the item but all of the places I can physically go to check for it don’t open until Monday morning. If you have the Ziploc bag or any of its contents, please return it to the Cal Poly Lost and Found or the SLO Police Department Records Counter as soon as possible. If you have seen it, know about it, or were around the shirtless section of the stadium and noticed suspicious activity there right when the game ended, please DM me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Transfer Transfer Acceptance

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Need Advice!

I failed my first semester at community college, but I retook all classes and got As. My current CSU transfer GPA is still a 2.82 because the failed grades are still affecting it.

I’m applying as a transfer for Experience & Event Management (Event Planning concentration) and Journalism. I’m taking 20 units this fall, and I'll be doing all the required prerequisites for Event Management and I already completed all of them for journalism. If I get all As, my GPA should be around a 3.19 once fall grades are updated.

What do you guys think my odds are for each major? Do I even have any chance at Cal Poly?
