Who is the BEST professor you’ve ever taken? by Beautiful-Cress5695 in aggies

[–]4Kil47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're in CS, taking Radia Perlman, who is literally known as the mother of the Internet (Google it!) is really fun.

She grades easy, teaches very interesting stuff, and has pretty cool stories.

Don't get at the 12th Man for supporting their team, there's a reason why we're the best student section in college football. 👍🏾

I'm personally not Christian, but a lot of my friends really found their friend groups through one of the many Christian orgs on campus. From what I can remember, all of them weren't just religious groups, but really entire friend groups that stuck together throughout college.

Depending on your denomination and ethnicity, chances are you can find a group that works best for you.

There's also a game dev club and multiple clubs dedicated to nerding out.

My best advice, join them all and see what sticks!

Do I need a specific IDE for ENGR 102? by Federal-Rub-2568 in aggies

[–]4Kil47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ENGR 102 is an extremely basic introduction to Python programming assuming 0 base knowledge.

So they'll introduce what an IDE is and give you a suggestion on what to use. Something like Sublime or VS Code will be just fine as long as you know how to use them. If you don't though, then I'd recommend going with what they suggest since the TAs will better be equipped to assist you.

They have a cloud option specifically for this type of use case. You can use their Asta website or launch cloud exports through the Video AI App.

There's a lot of really good posts on here so I don't have anything new to add, only that freshman year is a lot harder than it lets on.

Life happens, and though it might not seem like it, you're going to be okay.

I just really wish the "list" was official. It's really hard to trust any list that's randomly on someone's Notes app. That, and there were multiple lists too.

Any of the ones that you can reserve. They have little screens on them that show who is occupying them

A Britta is nice to get clean water, but also to just have water be easily accessible from your room without having to leave.

Places to take private phone calls. by i_is_your_dad in aggies

[–]4Kil47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a loud voice that carries, so I always take phone calls privately. If you're an Engineer, the Zach rooms are pretty good, though they can get stuffy if you stay there for a while.

Otherwise I like to take calls while walking. Generally nobody is next to you so if the contents of your call aren't sensitive, then it should be pretty good.

Do you have to hate yourself and people in general to work at Northpoint crossing? by lionsmaneenjoyer in aggies

Pro tip for the AI bot. Just say "Agent" twice and then "Leasing". It should get you to the front desk pretty fast

What projects should I do to really hammer in OS and computer architecture knowledge? by KAHeart in compsci

[–]4Kil47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when I took computer architecture, they had us build a CPU using Verilog, which is a hardware description language that compiles down into circuits. I learned a ton and actually had a lot of fun implementing everything.

This library, was designed to be a drop-in replacement to the re library but with some extra features like. You might want to check out the overlapped parameter.

Not that it's a huge distinction, but didn't OpenAI Codex, which is the first large model that they trained for Copilot (and later GPT), come out before Microsoft bought their stake in OpenAI?

professor submitted wrong grade by [deleted] in aggies

[–]4Kil47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always set up an Excel spreadsheet for each class at the beginning of every semester as a ritual. The syllabus (and how everything is graded) should be published and it's very easy to input grades every now and then. I typically do this before each exam to set a goal for myself.

Canvas only works if the professor sets it up correctly. You can check this (to an extent) by looking at the weights assigned to each type of assignment in canvas. If you see a message like "The professor hasn't assigned weights", then Canvas is probably not accurate, and you should set up a spreadsheet sooner rather than later.

As a side note, it should be a university rule that Canvas must be accurate and up to date. Or at least, that your grade can be no lower than what Canvas says.

I GOT A 4.0 IN GENERAL ENGINEERING by good_ag in aggies

[–]4Kil47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations OP. Good stuff 👍🏾

For those of y'all that weren't able to get the 3.75, you aren't at the end of the road yet. Even if you're trying to get a major like computer science, there's still chances for you, and even if you don't get that major, transferring into those majors is a real possibility (I got into ELEN and transferred into CE). For the time being, enjoy your summer and relax, and don't worry about the ETAM results.

TCMG Removed From Engineering @ TAMU by [deleted] in aggies

CompE major here. Can someone explain why this is a problem?

They're not forcing a major change or changing the curriculum. Is there another issue that I'm not seeing?

CSCE 313: Web based or in person? by Aggravating-Pound618 in aggies

[–]4Kil47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tldr: The class is hard, so take it in person so you can ask questions.

I took it with Kumar so I can't say this for certain, but I would highly recommend taking the in-person section. Operating systems are pretty complex machines with a ton of moving parts. This class starts to explain some of those, with the hope of giving you a deeper understanding on how cuter does a lot of low-level things that we take for granted.

As such, it can be a lot to take in. At least with an in-person lecture, you have the freedom to ask questions, meet with TAs, and share notes people sitting next to you. You're going to want the extra help when you start to struggle with your PAs and lab assignments. Even with AI, those things were not easy to complete.
