Small megathread rule change

14 Upvotes

Hi y'all,

Unrelated to the other stuff going on, I just wanted to quickly call to attention to a megathread rule change. TL;DR at the bottom.

Previously all prof-specific, 'searching for friends', and non-TXST owned housing posts were directed to megathreads. This is no longer the case.

The first two categories were not as useful as I thought they would be going in. The posts did not happen often and, once relegated to the megathread, got no traction (thank you to those who pointed this out). For that reason, they are no longer megathread topics.

Non-TXST owned housing is still a megathread. People often ask the same question (how is x complex) or want to sublease. Both of these are good applications of a megathread.

TL;DR, only off-campus housing is still megathread. Everything else is not.

Please Please Please

I’m currently taking a statistics class and need 50 total responses minimum to get full credit. If anyone can PLEASE take a quick couple minutes to fill it out, it would help a lot. It’s about food labels and how your understanding of them affects your purchases.

Archery club interest?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys! I really want to start the archery club back up, please reach out if you’d be interested in joining or being an officer! Even if you have no experience 🙏

We only need 5 members to be eligible to register as a club, I’d aim to have 1-2 practices a week and have opportunities to participate in local tournaments or state championships. Ideally I want to begin this process next semester so things are more finalized by next Fall.

If you don’t care about being in a club, hit me up and we can make an archery group chat or something

Artist friends

I'd say I make friends pretty easily but I can't manage to find other artists that are also black. I'm just curious if there are any clubs or places that black artists go to hang out.

On campus job for winter break

What do we do about parking during the winter break?

6 Upvotes

Before anyone says, “Go ask Parking Services,” their office was already closed by the time I tried. I sent them an email, but I’m wondering if anyone has asked them a similar question before.

I’m an out-of-state student planning to fly home for winter break. In previous semesters, I’ve left my car in the garage, but with the parking changes, I’m unsure what to do. It looks like my parking pass expires at the end of the semester instead of covering the entire break until spring semester starts, which is frustrating.

I don’t have any family here to leave my car with. Does anyone know where I can park it over winter break?

Has anyone taken Dr. Cai for intro to prob stats? He doesn't have any reviews on RMP. Looks like he just graduated so spring 2027 may be his first semester teaching, but I wanted to ask just in case!

Campus parking

4 Upvotes

Commuter student here. Checked all my classes and just found out I have one assignment due Sunday but I don’t have a Windows computer. So I will be coming to campus to complete the assignment over the weekend. For parking on campus over the weekend, can I park close to LBJ for free? Or anywhere on campus after hours?

Thanks in advance!

Shuttle view?

2 Upvotes

Not a super important post, just wondering where everyone looks when taking the shuttles.

I was talking to some friends about it, I personally find a speck on a window to stare at, because I don’t want to stare at my phone, and I try not to make people uncomfortable by staring towards their direction. A friend of mine looks to see how many people are looking at screens. 😭 weirdly interesting..

New buses

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m working on a story for The University Star about two new hybrid buses coming to TXSTs fleet next summer after receiving a $1.7M grant from FTA, set to replace two regular diesel engine buses. I was hoping to chat with someone who uses the transit system regularly at the university, and what they think about this new addition! If you’re interested shoot me a DM and I can send you my number or email so we can set up a time to chat either today or tomorrow :) Thanks guys!

Does anyone have experience using TXST’s semi new feature Major Maps?

This tool educates students about each major and opportunities to elevate, enrich, expand and advance a students experience.

I feel that many people are unaware of this feature that I’m just now finding out about in my last semester, this is a tool I wish me as a freshman had the ability to utilize.

When looking for a major It took me so long to decide and probably 800 Google searches to find the major for me. Major maps would have taken so much stress away from finding the path I wanted to take in college.

I would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this tool as a comment or replying to the survey linked below. I would greatly appreciate it!

Has anyone here done the online M.Ed. in SPED online program? I'm finishing up this semester and preparing for the comprehensive exam, just looking for anyone who's taken it that can tell me it won't be so bad 😅 I'm really anxious with exams and they said if you fail twice, you have to do an in-person oral exam

Showplace Cinema Downtown SMTX

25 Upvotes

Every time I walk past the old Showplace Cinema in downtown San Marcos, I can't help but imagine all the memories that were made there by Texas State students and SanMo residents. "Permanently Closed" just hurts my soul.

There doesn't seem to be much information online about what this theater was like during its prime, and I'd love to learn more about its history.

Discounted tickets and close proximity to campus, so what could have gone wrong?

I'm a marketing major at Texas State, and I've become interested in exploring this theater as a potential portfolio project. I'd love to look into its history, understand what went wrong from a business perspective, and even explore whether a concept like this could thrive in San Marcos today.

If you ever went there, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

  • What was the theater like?

  • Was it the go-to spot back in the day?

  • What do you remember most about it?

Even old pictures, stories, or information about the theater would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers it!

Weird experience walking to class near Harris. Has anyone experienced this?

19 Upvotes

Around 1 pm Nov 11th, Today, I was walking down from Harris near RFM on my way to class. There were groups of people who seemed to be doing some kind of advertising or promotion. Most of them were guys, with maybe one or two girls.
One guy was standing on the left side of the road, while the others were on the right. I had my headphones on and was just minding my own business.
As I walked past the guy on the left, he made some kind of hand gesture, and the group on the other side started laughing.
I couldn’t tell exactly what the gesture meant or whether they were laughing at me, but the whole interaction felt weird and uncomfortable.
Has anyone else experienced something like this around campus? Am I overthinking it, or does this seem like immature behavior?

AOP - transfer from Devry

Looking for information from anyone who has attended online classes and goes to or transferred to TxState. Obviously I am already accustomed to online classes and self discipline, so that is not an issue. I am trying to transfer to a more reputable and affordable college to complete Bachelor of Science HIM. Is the online experience decent? Any input or thoughts?

Thanks

Is this a professor allowed to punish students for poor attendance beyond the syllabus?

3 Upvotes

In one of my CS elective classes attendance is worth 2.5% on the syllabus. Attendance has only actually been taken via a code 5 times the whole semester. The professor had sent out a couple announcements reminding people to attend, as well as a message sent to select student (about half the class) that he has determined they have low attendance (based on his memory i guess?) and to reach out to him if you have an extenuating circumstance.

He sent out an announcement today stating the following: “For students I have previously contacted regarding attendance, who committed to attending class regularly but have continued to miss classes, attendance-related points will be removed. Additionally, any future class-wide grade curves will not apply to this group”

Is this even allowed? I’m a senior and have never heard such a thing, or seen a professor be this upset regarding attendance.
