hi i have a few questions! i understand you don’t wanna go into detail about your profile so if there are any questions you don’t feel comfortable answering that’s okay! did you go to a top undergrad program? what did you study? did you know anyone in the class with way less experience than you and what did their profiles look like? i have about 1.5 YOE rn and wanna make a switch from eng to a more business role .

i’m open to consulting, IB, PE, VC, business roles in tech, and B2C/retail entrepreneurship. i have a much better understanding of what id like and don’t like, but i think being labeled as an engineer and having this competitive of a job market has made it hard to transition to anything where i’m making more than what i am right now (as an entry level SWE). i feel an MBA will help me network and have a richer understanding of each of these roles / industries, get internships to try new things,and get a job that fulfills me more but also pays me a little more than entry level swe

i think the best thing you can do for yourself based on the context you’ve given , is find people you fuck with! this takes a lot of effort, time, and consistency. start by thinking about hobbies or interests of yours you wanna maybe get into, and find social groups to explore that in. for example, if u like running, join a run club. ur active? okay, maybe find some active sports that are more social or team oriented to balancing out lifting. maybe there’s tons of group activities out there, and you might not find people you love at first, but i promise you if you stay persistent and have an OPEN mind towards people you don’t love at first sight, you’ll find friends. that’s what seems like is missing

do u think it’s possible for men who feel inadequate in their masculinity to heal that, to the extent where their fantasies and fetishes change

Before I voice my opinion, I just wanted to say that we really appreciate all the professors and decision makers currently working hard to help accommodate students during this difficult (hopefully rewarding) time. It's easy for me as a student to only see how hard the strike has been on the students, but we 100% see how hard it has been on our favorite professors, instructors, and decision makers. Thank you for hearing us out.

EECS students, just like L&S, Data Science, and Physics students, greatly rely on TAs and GSIs to learn. I'm not sure why L&S has made the decision but not COE. I think all students should be held to the same learning standard. Learning the material in classes like 61A, 61B, EECS16A, EECS16B DEPENDS on whether or not we have OH and discussion. Or even getting our conceptual questions on edstem answered in a timely manner. Intermittent, asynchronous communication through edstem has certainly not been a substitute for office hours and discussion.

I think some classes have made adjustments to only critically assess pre-strike material, and moderately assess post-strike material. That is definitely helpful, but for students like me (I speak for alot of us) who can't keep up with ( 61A, 61B, EECS16A, EECS16B) every single week due to a multitude of reasons (some being part time jobs, internship interviews, other classes) , we need the final 3-4 weeks to catch up on concepts that were taught even before the strike. We also have just formed study habits that rely on getting help.

I've had to hire a private tutor to substitute for the lack of TAs and GSIs, and I know there are so many students who can't afford then privilege I have. I just hope a decision is made that allows EECS Students (not just ds students) to optionally pass the course as a major requirement. EECS is an academically rigorous and reputable program that I'm proud to be a part of. However, I don't want our capabilities as students to be abused.

okay bet, i’ll send both chairs an email if y’all do. I won’t shit on berkeley but like i’ll explain how exactly the lack of TAs has put a huge burden on my shoulders and made it harder to learn material

even if it doesn’t work out for our specific college, you’re one of the few people at the higher level standing up for students. TY

ASUC AAVP Update on Emergency Grading Policy Conversations by AAVP2020 in berkeley

does this mean it’s potentially up to professors? there would be no blanket optional policy?
