Demchenko is a little strict, I got a B in 207 (but an A in 208 with a different prof). His quizzes are a little tricky sometimes. If you're interested, I found the textbook really helpful and you can rent it for $30 from Amazon. The homework does not include the book unless you pay for it (I'm not a huge fan of online textbooks anyway). Someone else recommended Foster and he's OK from what I've heard. I think they use the same book though.

hey! as others have said, definitely keep documentation of where mold is suspected. you should ask for the residence hall admins to perform mold tests, but if youre like me and dont trust them to do it seriously or honestly, you also can purchase a test kit and sample those suspect areas yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Mold-Test-Kit-Bus-Schneider/dp/B071HLG3Z5/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=11VOCC4NJE03E&keywords=schneider+labs+mold+test+kit&qid=1664651921&sprefix=schneider+labs+mold+test+kit%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-4 $30 might be pricey for a college student but it includes the price of the analysis itself and the lab is on cary st so if you cant ship it you can drop it off in person by riding the 5 bus please message me if you want to go this route

You live in a dorm or apartment? I'd be careful about mounting a tv on your wall. You could have the drywall falling down on you, so at the very least I would look for a licensed contractor :).

Have you thought about a floor stand for your tv? Like this: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Screens-Portable-Adjustable-STAND-TV07/dp/B01CR4Y0XO/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=tv+floor+stand&qid=1651325756&sr=8-4

Would be pretty easy to mount yourself and you don't risk a costly accident!

Here's another good option with 16GB of ram https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Processor-Graphics-Included-81X20005US/dp/B086226DDB/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=amd+ryzen+laptop&qid=1629989388&sr=8-5

Not sure what your price range is, but here are a couple good options that should get the job done and aren't super expensive.

Mac: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air/space-gray-apple-m1-chip-with-8-core-cpu-and-7-core-gpu-256gb

PC: https://www.amazon.com/HP-15-inch-Processor-Windows-15-ef0022nr/dp/B0876H4VHJ/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=amd+ryzen+laptop&qid=1629928581&sr=8-5

I checked OpenStax and there is one on psychology: https://openstax.org/details/books/psychology. This website has open-source textbooks written by experts in their respective fields. You can read them online for free or it costs about $30 to order a hard copy from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-OpenStax-hardcover-version-color/dp/1975076451.

you can get one for cheaper on amazon (and in my opinion this one is better than the one from barnes and noble, the copies come out much cleaner)

Maybe you are already didthis, or your district just went that basic, but check the Canvas discussion boards and pre-created templates for course design ideas, solutions to issues, and templates. YouTube also has a million videos on course design ideas. Further, many of the basic designs/pages can be re-purposed for uses they weren't intended for (e.g., quiz question banks can be re-purposed for test question randomization very easily). You won't always find those ideas/solutions on their webpage. Instead, you just need to think about the system applying the logic the programmers used when designing the LMS and how you can put it to another use.

If you haven't taken one before, I'd also recommend taking a basic html course. Or, buy this book: https://smile.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/. It's $14 and packed with a lot of useful information on html.

Not for direct downloads. The only risk to you would be P2P connections where someone captures your IP address and then notifies VCU of your copyright infringement.

If you really want to download without worrying about it, I'd suggest using a VPN like Private Internet Access.

You don't need to go anywhere to learn how to meditate, and you don't need to be a spiritual person to do it. That's the beauty of it. The practice is based on training yourself to concentrate and be mindful, and its benefits are backed by loads of research. Check out "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Bhante G, it's available online for free.

See if you can find videos of move-in day on YouTube or something to observe tricks to make it as easy as possible.

The VCU main-campus immediate area is a city/urban environment, so traffic & parking are kind of crazy, and there is no WalMart in the immediate area, so making trips for things forgotten should be well thought-out before you hop in the car.

(Not a student, but my wife is grad, and we've lived in the area 30-odd years now....)

Renting/buying a furniture skateboard to move stacks of boxes in fewer trips might be worth the expense, and might help make new friends as you loan it to neighbors & roommates...
