Using your non-dominant hand is a time-tested technique but takes some practice. You might also write in all caps or use cursive- whatever is not your normal writing style.
How to disguise one’s handwriting so friends don’t recognize it?
Please share tips!!
Tip: Ask a Librarian. They’re at the reference desk (the one facing the main doors) 9am-9pm M-Th, 9-5 F, and 11-7 Sat/Sun. The library website (library.bc.edu) is full of information about resources. Just follow the “Research Guides” link (library.bc.edu/research_guides) or the “Get Help” link on the menu.There are library tip cards just to my right (your left). Health & wellness tip cards from the Office of Health Promotion are on the display rack next to the reference desk.
Can an undergrad student enroll in 7 courses in 1 semester? …
I spoke to my friends at Student Services and the Advising Center; you can take 6 classes if you meet the GPA requirement, and there is no additional fee for that. But you can’t take 7. Chat with your Academic Advisor if you need to hash this out more.
Will doing outside activitys take too much of my time?
You need to give your studies the attention they deserve, but it’s important to make other activities a part of your life. Your years here are an opportunity to learn, grow, and try out new things, and that doesn’t happen just in the classroom or the lab. The solution might be developing your time management skills. Why not try Academic Coaching at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors)?
comm elective recs? <3
The buzz is that they are all awesome! From the course listings, however, it appears that many are already closed. But take a closer look at New Media and Society (COMM227201) and Advanced Public Speaking (COMM 229301).
I hardly feel creative anymore…
Yeah, some writers are pretty good at telling stories to make themselves sound bigger than they are. Also, all the writing experience in the world just makes for decent craft: the story itself is more important. Craft comes with diligent work. If this is your passion, fight for it. Show up, and keep showing up. Whatever you decide, I, The Answer Wall, believe in you.
That works for some. Some think it works for them. It’s not really related to whether you’re filling the page with words, though.
Will I make it through finals? (Current time: 3:12 am)
You will! I have faith in you!

During exams, folks really appreciate encouragement… and lots of java….
Do you prefer line benzene or circle benzene?
The circle may give a better sense of what the electrons are actually doing, but the lines may help when you’re trying to relate specific things going on with the bonds. Both are generally recognized and understood.
How do I ask my prof to increase my final grade.
You can certainly ask, but you should have a solid reason. I would lay out the reasons in a logical and calm manner. Professors are very used to students asking for a better grade for unreasonable reasons, so having a good case to make should help you. Also, if necessary, you can appeal the grade: bit.ly/BCGradeAppeal
Can you give everyone a 4.0 GPA Wall??
One of the nicest parts of my job as an answerer is that I can support students and not have to grade them. I don’t envy my faculty friends who have to do that.
How to write a history paper on Hellenic identity
Start by reading the assignment thoroughly. If you are having trouble picking a topic, try going to your professor’s office hours and discussing it. Once you have a topic, schedule a consultation with the History Librarian (libguides.bc.edu/history) to work on a literature search. In future, consider submitting your paper to the Online Writing Lab at the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-OWL) for suggestions before you submit it to your professor – but they are closed after 12/9, so it may not work with your timeline.
Why BC accepts students with SAT scores so unevenly?
SAT scores are just one poor indicator of freshman year success. The picture presented by a student’s application; essays, grades, the courses they have taken, their extracurricular activities, etc., provides a richer set of data for Admissions. The Admissions website leads with “We’re educating men and women who shape the world with vision, justice, and charity. ” SAT scores are not going to select for those qualities.
I think my math teacher hate me
I’m sorry you’re having a bad experience in math. I doubt your teacher hates you; if you’re struggling, it’s more likely they’re feeling compassion, because teachers really do want all of their students to succeed. If you’re having difficulty, I recommend both meeting with your professor for help and meeting with tutors in the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors
cube root unity in x^2+x+1
My advanced math assistants have not yet responded; I hope to have an answer tomorrow. In the meantime, I’d like to clarify whether I’ve represented your post accurately in typeset: ω ∈ C cube root unity, P prime. Then (P) ∈ Z[ω] maximal, ⇔ in Fp has no solution to x^2+x+1?
Update 12/5: My assistants had to travel many moons and across many mountains to find a wise person who could answer this question. Here is his answer: The notation to me asks, “We are looking for solutions omega, in the complex plane that satisfy the polynomial P and want to know if they are, or are not deMoivre numbers, that is, complex numbers that when raised to an integer power (in this case 3 from the cube root) produce the value of 1. Both roots of this polynomial satisfy this as I have shown. I’m not sure by Fp, whether they are referring to the function space of polynomials, the antiderivative, the derivative or a field relationship. I’m also not sure what they are looking for with respect to the prime constraint, all the coefficients are 1, 1 is defined NOT to be prime so I’m not sure how to satisfy that issue.

I am going to fail my classes. :(
Many students have that feeling, but sometimes it is unwarranted. Take steps now to improve your odds for this semester and make a plan for next. If you’re really failing classes, make an appointment with the professor and your advisor right now. If you’re on the cusp, talk to them and get peer tutoring at the CFLC before they close for the semester on Dec. 9. Wishing you passing grades, but many of my helpers have failed a class – while it seems like the end of the world, it truly is not.

You’re setting the (h-)bar really high. I may be reduced to walking the Planck and sinking into the wave function.
Why do I have to incorporate Jesuit principles into my Master’s thesis even though I am an atheist?
IDK. You might want to raise that question with your professor or advisor to get some clarification, if you don’t feel Jesuit principles have a bearing on your thesis. It’s possible their explanations will help you locate some relevant principles you can include. Not knowing your course of study or the subject of your thesis, I can’t really be any more precise.
I am really really disappointed about myself nearly failing a class that I’m majoring in. … What should I do?
You are not your grades, or your work, or the idea of yourself that you or others have. Be gentle with yourself, maybe talk to your advisor and some faculty in your major about what you could improve, but don’t take it as a judgment on you, because it’s not. Figure out what you need to do to get where you want to go, let people know about it, and you will sometimes find that the world finds ways to help you. I have great confidence in you, you’ll be fine.
