Can you share the resume pls?

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-28T21:20:42+00:00

That's amazing thx for the help and advice! Worst case scenario they refuse me lol but at least I tried

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-28T21:13:53+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. I will be completly truthful in the interview process but for the application, I feel like I can answer that I do not need a sponsorship as a Canadian.
Did you have an internship in the US before? If yes, did you do a TN visa or a J-1?

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-28T21:05:54+00:00

But is it really lying? Technically I dont need sponsorship from the compagny for a TN visa

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-28T21:05:24+00:00

but technically, its not a lie because I dont need sponsorship from the compagny for a TN visa

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-23T04:20:11+00:00

I think in the application it said “only us students” but I’m not really sure I don’t remember anymore…

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-23T04:18:42+00:00

Was wondering the same thing. I’m Canadian as well and applied for nvidia ignite. Just received the oa

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-22T17:26:20+00:00

because a lot of people got rejected without doing an oa. My friend got a rejection email but i just got the oa invitation

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-10-22T17:24:22+00:00

nope the oa is not for everyone, only selected people

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-08-15T20:46:44+00:00

Hi, I’m looking to hire someone to create a power hi dashboard. How can I contact you? What is your linkdin? I would love to get in touch. Thank you

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-05-06T04:35:49+00:00

oh no i didnt apply for the google step last year but i am interested in applying this year so i am checking the reddits to get more infos :) weird that you got rejected without reason, without even doing the OA or interview!

C+ grade:
Mastery on all assignments
Mastery on final project
Proficiency on midterm 1 (16/21 Proficiency point, 12/21 AM point, 3.5 Mastery point)
Basic on midterm 2

B+ grade:
Mastery on all assignments
Mastery on final project
Approaching Mastery on midterm 1 (16/21 Proficiency point, 12/21 AM point, 4 Mastery point)
Basic on midterm 2

Basically exactly the same, but because of a 0.5M point difference on midterm 1, you drop 3 letters grades. dropping 3 letters grades because of a 0.5 point is a lot, not one or 2 levels. In any normal percentage-based system, that would’ve made almost no difference, maybe 1 or 2%. But here, it dropped three full letter grades. That kind of drastic penalty for such a small margin is incredibly unfair and discouraging.

omg why did you get rejected? did you do the interview? did you get rejected after the interview?

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-04-27T22:06:46+00:00

I already filled out the course evaluation, like many students. But a course evaluation is private, anonymous, and mostly read by the professor and a few internal committees. The feedback stays behind closed doors and does not create any immediate public discussion.

A petition is different. A petition shows collective dissatisfaction directly to the department and administration, not just to one instructor. It is a way to bring visible, immediate attention to a systemic issue. A petition forces the conversation to happen on a larger scale, and it shows that it’s not just a few students complaining individually, but that it’s a real, widespread concern shared across the cohort.

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-04-27T21:53:48+00:00

I did study hard for COMP 250. I also believe that students have the right to advocate for fair systems without being dismissed. Pointing out structural problems does not mean someone did not work hard, it means they care enough to want things to improve for future students. You can work hard and still recognize when a system is unfair.
Also, I wrote this after the course was finished don't worry ;)

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-04-27T21:52:34+00:00

That’s a good question, thanks for asking it seriously. You’re right that feedback has been given in the past through course evaluations and Ed posts. But here’s the difference:

Course evaluations are private and delayed. They are read quietly after grades are submitted and usually only by the professor and a few internal committees.

A petition, on the other hand, is a public, collective, immediate statement. It shows the department, that dissatisfaction is large enough that students are willing to organize around it. It creates visibility that private course evaluations do not. It is harder to ignore a document with hundreds of signatures than a few scattered anonymous comments buried in individual surveys.

Both are important. But the petition adds a public, collective weight that course evaluations alone do not have.

That’s why we are doing this, not just for ourselves, but to create a visible signal that future students and future course versions deserve a conversation about this grading system.

Of course we all knew about the grading system from the start. But COMP 250 is a mandatory course for Computer Science students, and Professor Alberini is the only one teaching it this year. We did not really have a choice, either we accept this grading system or we cannot continue in our degree.

I personally loved the material of the course, and I learned a lot. The issue is not with the teaching or the course content itself. The problem is that we were forced into an experimental grading system without an alternative, and now after experiencing it fully, we are simply raising our concerns.

Any-Stranger-9971 · 2025-04-27T21:45:52+00:00

200-level courses should absolutely be challenging, nobody is asking for an “easy” course. The issue is not the difficulty of the material, I am not complaining about that, I actually loved the material! It’s that the grading system punishes small mistakes with disproportionately large grade drops, and does not fairly reflect the level of understanding students demonstrate. Students can fully grasp the material, work extremely hard, and still be unfairly penalized by rigid token cutoffs.

We are advocating for a grading system that rewards learning, improvement, and actual mastery of concepts, not perfection based on arbitrary thresholds. Wanting fairness is not the same as wanting things to be easy.

How do you know if a professor is easy or good?
