Student Life What are college classes like for undergrads in the AI era?

6 Upvotes

I graduated in spring 2024 so I caught basically the beginning of what we’re seeing today, but even back then AI wasn’t half of what it is today in 2026. Just wondering if any undergrads can tell me what it’s like when it comes to essays, take home tests, homework, etc nowadays. Do professors encourage AI usage? Or do they have methods to curtail it?

Academics WSU Course scheduling aid (Crimson Scheduler)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a recent site I made to help with planning out courses for upcoming semesters; Crimson Scheduler!
https://crimsonscheduler.com

The site lets you quickly search and navigate different course offerings in all the campuses and terms available. There are also different features such as filtering by UCOREs, time of day, and also quick access to professor's RMP pages.

I'd love to hear if you find Crimson Scheduler helpful, and sharing the word about it would be appreciated. I really think this could be helpful for many WSU students! (Including myself, I'm a big user of my own site lol)

Housing Looking for a cheaper apartment than Timberline on the Green in Pullman

6 Upvotes

My cousin and I have been bouncing apartments the last year or so and I don't think I've ever had a worse living experience than dealing with Timberline on the Green's shitty management response time.

Our appliances have been busted since month 1, but it took them 2 months to actually answer our work orders after several visits from us and our third roommate to their office to complain.

This week, they sent out an email giving tenants the chance to renew our leases for next year at the current rate we have (not at a cheaper rate, the current rate. Practically foreshadowing that higher rent prices are imminent if we don't renew now). I'd like to know of anyone can guide us to a relatively cheaper apartment we can move into, or at least one that's similar to Timberline (we pay at least 600 a month which includes utilities and our furniture package which was a mistake). Our budget falls within the 500-600 a month range, but Timberline is just becoming too ridiculous to deal with now.

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I commute back and forth between Pullman and the Seattle area pretty regularly (usually at least once a week) for work and family, and I always have extra space in the vehicle.

If you're tired of riding the bus or looking for an easier way home for the weekend, holidays, or breaks, let me know!

Route: Pullman -> Seattle (and vice versa), running along the I-90 corridor. Flexible with stops if you're in Spokane, Ellensburg, the Tri-Cities, or along the West Side.

Schedule: My schedules pretty flexible for the most part give or take a few days.

Vehicle: Tesla Model Y, will have to stop and charge atleast once in ellensburg for 30 minutes. Just a heads up.

Details: Just looking to split travel costs and help fellow Cougs get home safely.
Drop a comment or shoot me a DM with your preferred dates and times if you're looking for a reliable ride! Go Cougs! 🐾

Im extremely worried and I urge my lover to get a apartment with me before going to collage, ill never let myself be hurt knowing she isnt sleeping in her own bed in her dorm on some weekends or nights.. shes a nerd and everything, but shes so damn fine 😍 and ik guys will look at her in collage even when shes not the party and flirty type.

If we ever had a sort of long distance during that time do u think the guys there could possibly leave her forgetting about me?

Title basically states it. I wanna go into the unused residence halls to film a found footage horror project. It's non-commercial and wouldn't require me to mess with anything in the halls. Just wondering who to contact about permission besides the general housing and residence life.

Thanks!

I just don't see the appeal anymore. Yeah, he is from Prosser and all, OC at Mizzou and his other stops along the way. Not sure he is fit to be head coach. Perhaps too young for steering the ship of an FBS team. I don't want to start over but seeing this performance so far, the buck stops with Kirby Moore.

"We hear the concerns some people are expressing, given Murrow College's history of educating some of our nation's most accomplished journalists."

As a Murrow Grad, this is insane/sad to me that they're qoing this route. Even as a tool and not a replacement, it really seems to denigrate the profession of sports writing, let alone writing as a whole. Seems like it's shooting the College in its foot if they want to attract potential journalism students.

Advice I’m going to be a 26 year old freshman.

42 Upvotes

Pretty much the title. I worked after highschool and as a result I feel awfully “behind” in a sense when it comes to college. I see lots of posts rave about the social aspect and honestly that is one of my main worries. I tend to fit in with the more neurodivergent queer types. Takes one to know one, I suppose. How is the lgbt scene there? I’m aware that I’ll be interacting with many people in the 18-21 range and I’m hoping I’m not too much of an outlier because of my age.

Discussion Week 5 - *The saxophones are getting louder*

Post image
40 Upvotes

Based on questions from last year:

What is this chart showing? A weekly heat map tracking WSU’s win probability for every game on the schedule. The numbers are straight from ESPN’s FPI matchup predictor.

What is FPI? ESPN’s Football Power Index. It’s their predictive rating model that weighs roster talent, efficiency, and schedule strength to simulate games and spit out win odds. Think of it as an algorithm’s best guess, continuously updated.

Why do the numbers change week to week? Because games get played. Injuries, blowouts, and fluke outcomes feed new data into the model every week, shifting the odds for the rest of the season.

How do you calculate these numbers? I don’t. ESPN does. I just pull the percentages from their matchup predictor and drop them into a heat map so you can spot trends without squinting at raw data tables.

What do the colors mean? Red = bad matchup. Green = Good matchup. Everything in between is a sliding scale of heartburn.

Is this predicting scores or spreads? Win percentage only. Straight-up odds that WSU wins the game...no projected scores, no spreads, no over/unders.

HEY! When I looked, it said 70.2%, NOT 70.1%! You're a phony! I scrape the data on Wednesday. ESPN’s model keeps crunching numbers throughout the week, so a 0.1% delta by Friday is just background recalculation. Direct your outrage at ESPN, not me. 🥺

Why doesn’t it add up to 100% for each game? Every box is strictly WSU’s win chance. It’s not displaying the opponent's side, so there’s nothing to sum to 100%.

Why did [Opponent] drop in FPI after winning (or rise after losing)? FPI grades efficiency against expectations, not just the final score. Squeaking past an FCS team by three will ding you and taking a top-10 team to overtime might bump you up. The model cares how you played, not just that you won.

We play the same team twice...why are the percentages different? Home vs. away, travel, short weeks, rest differentials, and calendar placement. Plus, by game two, the model has weeks of extra tape on both rosters.

OMG why use ESPN? [Source X] is way better. Because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Basically...I can get this information week 0. It's consistent, and I've been tracking it for like a decade.

Why do you update this every week? Watching the trajectory swing across twelve weeks is fascinating...and I'm a nerd.

I am heading down to Pullman for the second time ever on October 23rd to prepare for my first ever college football game and I’m nervous the cougs won’t use their crimson jerseys potentially, does anyone know of any places that aren’t just eBay or offer up… I haven’t tried Facebook marketplace but I assume it’s the exact same things. I hope yall can give me some good recommendations! Go cougs!
