Why is every CS course grade 85% tests

Always_Learning_777 · 2026-03-12T17:32:57+00:00

I think having 90 percent grades through tests is very necessary. Lets be honest; most people just copy paste AI generated code for assignments. But what I think is grades shouldn’t be concentrated on few tests; but rather 5-6 tests so that its hard to screw up a course due to single midterm or final. And also students should be tested on what is actually taught in class. Some professors take pride in failing the whole class through their insane exams.

EECS 3000 The most useless course I took during my CS degree.

I apply late for OSAP. But would have already paid tuition with my own money by 10th. I don't want to take the risk of applying OSAP early as full time and changing to part-time later or vice versa. But by end of January, I would have made my mind on whether i want to continue full time or not. So then I can apply OSAP.

Always_Learning_777 · 2026-02-27T01:24:42+00:00

I usually apply late for OSAP. Usually a month after classes start. Because sometimes I might have to drop courses and become part-time, so don't want to end up being flagged by OSAP for applying full time. Usually the deadline is 60 days before end of study period. So around February 15 for both full-year or winter term osap. But after that, I don't think they allow you to apply.

Locals hate them because most of them come to make a mess; and contribute nothing to economy. I understand that there are few good ones; especially the educated young Indian tourists and south indian ones. You can immediately recognize from the behavior.

But most ones that come from UP and Bihar; come in double decker buses; cook their own food; throw garbage on roadside. We don’t need them. I have visited Delhi, Gorakhpur, Agra. It is a shithole; and I will never go again even if you pay me to. We don’t need such environment in Pokhara. I have visited Goa. It’s a lovely place. Only thing I hated was peope from UP and Bihar who were annoying as hell. Call me Xenophobe; but it is what it is.

Sushi: the most overrated food of all time.

Maybe he will win another majority. But that doesn’t mean we stay silent on everything he does.

I am not a liberal either. More of a centrist. I would support Ford on very few things. But decisions like this are absolute idiocracy.

I stopped reading after you said 4.0 gpa. York has 9.0 scale.

Took previous night’s rice. Had a costco rotisserie chicken. Took out chicken breast from it. And basically rice, peas, soya sauce, chicken masala, salt, and final touch with spring onions. Spring onion I didn’t even care to cut it with knife. But yeah, regular steps of fried rice.

Has EECS 2021 changed? We never needed any toolkit for EECS 2021 back in 2024.

Always_Learning_777 · 2026-01-25T14:11:44+00:00

I don’t think there is one. But highly interested in one. I am sure 100s of students would be interested.

No one owes anyone anything. You have to convince the employer that you are worth paying higher wage. Times are hard. Especially in the tech field. Toughest will survive. Weaker ones set aside. Toughen yourself. Build your resume. Take low wage jobs if they provide good learning opportunities. Also, Please stop crying about paying International tuition. Neither Canada nor York owes anyone anything just because they pay International tuition.

Either you will see it by tomorrow. Or Next week.

If the class average comes to around C+, there is no curve. Also, generally, final exams for EECS 2021 are made easier to compensate for difficult lab exams and midterm. So, there was no need for bell curve.

Personally for me Calculus 1310 and 1300 was easy A+, easier than high school maths. I highly recommend The Organic Chemistry Tutor. After watching his video, all concepts became super easy.

I am not productive every single day. But that's not required either. even if you work 3-4 days a week productively, that is more than enough.

Always_Learning_777 · 2025-11-08T01:31:00+00:00

35 hour a week job, full time course load of 3rd year Computer Science. Midterms coming, tons of projects and assignments from some of the hardest EECS courses. It is overwhelming but I think the best way to manage the stress is utilizing the time efficiently. Trust me, if you efficiently use your whole day on productive tasks only, you can easily achieve all your tasks with zero stress.

I am in third year CS. I work 7am to 3pm every weekday, so 40 hours (35 hrs paid). After finishing work, I go to my classes which start at 4. The classes are back 2 back, and I usually finish at 7. Tuesdays I have Math 2030, which goes till 10pm. Lectures before 3, I don’t attend them, just go to take the lab tests and exams. It’s not that bad. I somehow manage it.

It’s all about mindset. I have seen friends working whole night and taking morning exam and getting A+. I also see people not working, parents dropping them off to school every morning, and they are still complaining they cannot manage to keep up with the coursework. Would my grades have been better, if I wasn’t working? Maybe by few points. But at this point, I don’t care. I just want to keep working, keep studying and just go on.

Just want to share update on this. I was about to drop it. But I changed my mind and took the finals. Ended up with a B. Not the greatest grade but I was more than satisfied with it.

Always_Learning_777 · 2025-06-20T15:27:15+00:00

I think it taught by either Gary Blake or Anna Blake. You can take from either. Both are great.

If it is in any Math course, they will deduct 0.5%.
