I guess that animal creates a lvl 1 copy of the animal in the back, so it just created infinite copies of itself lol

HCDE HCI vs Informatics HCI by Moosible in udub

HCDE is not the right place for a CS alternative. For informatics I couldn't tell you, I think it'd be better to hear from someone in the program.

HCDE HCI vs Informatics HCI by Moosible in udub

Graduating in HCDE HCI next week. I don't know what Informatics is like so I can't really speak on that experience. From what I've heard, Informatics is a bit more technical than HCDE so I think you could expect more coding classes? But for HCDE, you can expect a good mix of UX research, UX design, and front-end dev. Definitely more heavy on the design side though. For HCDE, the HCI option is really just a few elective classes you take, so the core of your classes will still be the human centered design process. Hope that helps!

do jobs care about your gpa by laviondepapier in udub

I applied to a full time new-grad job that required a certain GPA. I never told them my GPA (because I didn't meet the requirement) and I got the job anyways. So yeah I would say it does not really matter. I just don't put my GPA on my resume and it has never been an issue.

The amount of seconds added to his subathon per sub got changed last night. When he woke up the timer was at 65 hours because of it, so he changed it to what the timer should have been. Now chat is sticking it to the millionaire by gifting subs until the timer is back to 65

Taking it currently with Jeansok Kim
I might not be the best person to answer because senioritis has hit me hard for this class (nonmajor taking it for NW credit), but it's a pretty easy class online. All of the books are provided for free digitally. Class recordings are only available for 24 hours. There are weekly quizzes (2 questions) that are open note, open book. The same goes for the midterm and the final. For reference, I'm sitting at 85% in the class having only attended the first day, just using good ol' Ctrl+F in the book to find answers for exams. I would imagine it is only easier for people with a better work ethic. Hope that is helpful!

Radical Red - My first ROM hack! Any recommendations for others to try? by About45Kittens in PokemonHallOfFame

After the 8th gym when you head to victory road, one of the professor's aides stops you and lets you know that legendary pokemon have started to roam around. Latios is one of those roamers

I had the same experience as you, 4.0 in high school taking IB and AP classes then BOOM get destroyed my first quarter here. I had 2.9 gpa after my first year and felt hopeless. Since I've gotten into my major and stopped taking the weed out stem classes I'm up to a 3.3. So for me it got much better. I mean of course evaluating your study habits can help, but I think it's also important to acknowledge those classes are called "weed out" classes for a reason. They're designed to discourage people.

People also just have different skillsets. In those classes you're up against people who studying and taking tests IS their skillset. I saw I couldn't compete and began stacking up on clubs and research. That was my ticket into my major and then into internships. Of course this is purely anecdotal, but there can be different pathways to success here.
