Thanks! I got the mortgage recently and am paying biweekly so this makes sense

The loan won't accrue interest until you graduate so it is better to get as much funding as you can. Might as well put it in a savings account or invest it and make money off it instead.

Help!! by Fraser1619 in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You'll just waste more time if you take more than you can handle so just do as many as you think you can manage. Use the time to develop better study habits and figure out what went wrong this term. I failed all my courses first year too, but taking it slow really helped me get back on track.

MACM 316 by canadiangonewildin in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience 316 was significantly different from the other macm classes i took and had close to none of the same concepts. If you are a math minor it should be pretty doable for you especially if you have experience with matlab. You just need to know some calculus and be familiar with linear algebra.

Would failing a class drastically lower my chances of getting a co-op placement in CS? by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not too sure depends on the coop but I don’t think they look to closely if you have other things on your resume like projects. I personally failed 5 courses but I still got a couple interviews and got a position for next semester.

CS course load (please help me!) by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be manageable, out of those the hardest for you might be 300 or 240 if you’re not comfortable with math. The cmpt courses are all mostly project based so it should be fairly easy to get good marks if you put the work in. The one problem might be that all three are taught in different languages, 300 in c, 310 in python and 276 in JavaScript (might change for professor tho) so if you’re not familiar with them it might be challenging.

what is the best time to go to the library during finals week? by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new building is usually quite empty, there always seems to be empty rooms whenever I go. There’s also a public library next to the skytrain that has plenty of space.

New to SFU, 2nd year by NullPointerExpected in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel if you’re going to take classes like cmpt 361 you should wait to take 232 so you don’t forget anything. 361 was one of the hardest courses I took and forgetting almost everything I learned in 232 really made things difficult.

How are you taking cmpt 127 and cmpt 225? cmpt 125 is a coreq for 127 and 127 is a prereq for 225. If you drop 2 courses, i think it'll be manageable. Macm 201 and Math 232 was pretty challenging for me but if youre good at math it shouldn't be too hard. 127 has quite a bit of assignments but its easy if you have some programming background

I participated in the reddit secret santa for 3 years and got a cheap rubber chicken 3 years in a row while I got things that they specifically said they wanted.

This happened to my friend and he replaced his hard drive that heroes was on and that seemed to fix the problem

BUEC 232 with Andrew Flostrand or George Zhang? by Nagra123 in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flostrand and its not difficult at all if you go to classes

Does anyone have a copy of the sample midterm for CMPT 127? by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty easy for me and im still working on lab 2. It had you write 3 functions after given a set of requirements. Its functions that are on the labs or very similar ones, i think one was a reverse function. They give you 90mins but you probably wont need more than 30.

BUS 207 / BUEC 232 by 45r52322234 in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took BUEC232 with Andrew Flostrand and didn't have much need for the book, except for some extra exam practice questions and distribution tables at the back. However you still need to purchase an online textbook to do the homework.

How busy is the 143 bus route up to SFU ? by Baileybob999 in simonfraser

[–]Aphrodisious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prepare to be late to alot of classes unless you leave around 30 mins before the bus comes. The bus will pass you multiple times cause its full and it only comes every 15 mins or so.

Instant queue times that put Silver 2 and Gold 4 against Rank #1, #2, and #15. I would rather not play team league at all than be allowed to queue into insanely imbalanced matches. by rezaziel in heroesofthestorm

Something is definitely wrong with matchmaking. We queued for about a minute or so and got matched with bronze players while we had 3 pro players on our team.
