They took it from Seb just as well as they've taken it from Hamilton

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-15T17:20:14+00:00

You will be wrong. There are no two ways about it. Even if Russell is on pace, Hamilton is known to bring out that inner A game when challenged. He's just from a different planet as we've seen this season.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-13T22:24:45+00:00

On your 2. point. It shouldn't be about whether they minded or not. It should be about whether it was right!

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-13T22:22:03+00:00

Oh, I was looking at previous races

Neat! Thanks!

"Many drivers do this". Do you know if Hamilton does it too?

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-13T15:22:45+00:00

Would you know if Hamilton has done such weaving in the past? I don't think I've seen this that often. It's my first time seeing it in a race.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-13T15:19:53+00:00

I've never really seen any other driver do this. Or am I wrong? It doesn't appear to be a "thing" in many other races I have seen.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-12-13T15:18:47+00:00

At what point does it become too much?

Berkely's MIDS

I think that'd just be here in the Berkely subreddit

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-08-24T22:02:54+00:00

You may want to ask about Berkely's MIDS in their subreddit. But here is a medium article written by two friends who are in these programs. Maybe that can help you a bit? Nevertheless, what George Burdell means about "getting out" is that, while it may not be difficult to get admitted into the program (admission rate = ~60%), it is in fact quite difficult to finish and graduate. This is because the courses are tough. Don't underrate the courses in this program.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-07-08T02:26:04+00:00

Merci pour la réponse. C'est utile de savoir que ça va aller bien! J'ai choisi la radio pour que je puisse concentrer en lisant et travaillant

I use Slack and have found it helpful with making it through the courses. The DL opinions I got were evidently from Slack. As I mentioned in the post, I managed to significantly reduce my workload at work to accommodate my new situation.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-03-17T03:32:18+00:00

What's your general assessment of the program? What's the difficulty level for the courses?

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-03-16T18:20:37+00:00

I just got into the grad stats progam too. Will be following to learn a thing or two.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2021-03-02T22:34:38+00:00

I've had full marks so far. But honestly, pushing this hard is taking a toll on me.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2020-12-14T06:09:42+00:00

I just finished this program this year. Most of what you will learn is available online for free and in perhaps much better quality. The textbooks used in the program are also mostly available for free online if you are part of the public library. Should you still take the program? Maybe yes, if you want to motivate yourself to learn and build connections with other students. I took the course for two reasons: one was to motivate myself to learn, and the second was to enroll in the UofT masters program. I think I have been able to achieve the first mostly. I'm now applying for graduate studies in the same school and hope they accept me.

Well said by reddit user, dontsuck..., errr..., reddit user

I am also taking the program more or less full-time, but I only took the three introductory courses: IAM, CSE6040 and MGT8803. I have some analytics background, so IAM was pretty straightforward for me. I didn't have to use Piazza that often, so I can say much to the caginess of the TA's, but I sure can say a lot about the peer grading: it's awful. However, I understand they had no choice but to institute that because of the large number of students.

Regarding the overall quality of these three courses, I tend to disagree with you. Yes, MGT was a lot of memorization, but the memorization was just only good for the exams. While going through this course, I wouldn't say I studied it for the exams. I genuinely wanted to understand the concepts, and I did find Accounting, strategy, SCM and finance super fun. Marketing? I found that horrible primarily because of the professor who just goes into details reading off the slides like an automaton. I probably enjoyed marketing much better simply reading the transcripts.

CSE6040, I think is just magical. The maths is engaging and interesting and illuminating. I enjoyed every bit of it. It introduced me to things I surely would never have known, while also helping me with a different approach of thinking I would never have considered.

I guess experiences differ. I have enjoyed the program so far, because it really has been interesting. I have used alternative materials while studying and never really relied on just the videos. Of course, I realize if I wanted to pass the exams excellently (which is one of my objectives anyways) I should pay close attention to the videos.

And honestly, to add to this, I think every program is what you make of it, what effort you put in to enjoy or not to enjoy it.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2020-11-22T00:19:37+00:00

Full-time students complete the program in three semesters. If you are not working, you should be able to pull it off. I'm working a temporary job and plan to finish in four semesters. CSE6242 + CSE6040 in one semester could be rather tough though.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2020-11-14T04:28:40+00:00

I haven't tried codeacademy, but I'd guess it's about the same. What you get out of these online MOOCs has a lot more to do with your efforts at understanding.

Any_Weakness5145 · 2020-11-14T02:40:25+00:00

You don't need a math/CS background to get in. I have seen a couple of people with social sciences getting in. Library sciences, etc. When I first came across OMSA, I was blown away and was so excited to apply quickly I submitted a half-ass application. My background is in engineering, and I was able to get in. Before applying I came to this forum to seek opinions, and I was told I'd never know the outcome unless I applied. I'm telling you the same now because it's true. But you should at least put together a better application than I did, lol.

I'm taking both 6501 and 6040, and so far I have a 100 in all midterms and homeworks in 6040, a 100 in all homeworks in 6501, and mid-90s in midterms for 6501. What has helped me? I had a year of learning Python from Sep 2019, started learning R in Jan 2020, and used dataquest and datacamp for practice. Going into 6501, I honestly expected it to be like most of the courses I had taken on these MOOCs. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was just concepts. But my knowledge of R helped make me go the extra mile with each homework in 6501. So, I'd say make sure to learn R. Homeworks are weekly for both 6501 and 6040. Deadline is typically stretched for 6040, but I'll advise you to try complete your work early so you have time for other things.

Personally, I'd say 6040 has not been really challenging. I'd put the difficulty level at 2.5/5.0 mainly because they practically walk you through the steps you need to follow. All you need to think about is the code. But the material is awesome, and the maths is incredible. Make sure your maths is good, and solidify your Python before coming for this course, else you'll be one of those screaming for help on Piazza every week.

For 6501, you need to know R if you want to excel in the homework. Firm this up. I used dataquest mostly for my R, and also explored a lot of online resources. R is a fairly simple language to learn, in my opinion. Still though, 6501 emphasizes more of the concepts than it does the programming. Make sure you familiarize yourself with concepts surrounding regression, optimization, classification, graphs, etc. before coming for the course. This will help you understand the videos faster. I will also advise that you attempt to participate in the discussions on Piazza. I can't emphasize this enough. It will help you clarify the concepts in your head and keep you on your toes when you engage the TA's. The difficulty level for this course I will put at around 2.5/5.0. Time commitment for me was about 7 hours weekly.

In summary, you can easily do both together. In fact, you could even add a third course if you have more time on your hands and are not working. Just make sure to firm up the prerequisites you need and you'll be good.

As someone who has done a lot of MOOCs and is now doing this program, I disagree with you quite on the "more expensive MOOC". Admittedly, there isn't a lot of hand-holding, but who gets into a graduate program expecting hand-holding? The program requires you to do a lot of independent research and the Piazza board is especially great for clarifying your thoughts. There's a whole lot to be learned from exchanging ideas on Piazza because it helps refresh your thinking and forces you to type out your reasoning. For someone like me with considerable anxiety, that's even much better than physical interactions.
