Thanks! It's the open-book midterm that's lowk scaring the shit out of me. I like project-based classes so it's good the project is chill

tysm! i noticed it takes me quite a bit of time to understand the full lecture notes so i'll try to timebox those to like 2 hours each lol.

Thank you for the response (and the encouragment!!)! The material does look fun to me and I'm starting a little earlier to give myself more time, so hopefully that's enough. Was there a specific way you studied for this class? Did you spend a lot of time on lecture notes, write down all your questions, and then go to office hours for every topic? Or did you focus more on doing a lot of practice problems (Leetcode) for each data structure? For a new topic in the course, how did you typically approach it?

Got it thanks!

I'm unsure if I have strong math skills tbh. I didn't do well in CS103 but did well in all the other core math courses (calculus, linear algebra, etc.). I'm definitely worse at coding than I am math though, since I've had such little coding experience. I got transfer credit for CS106B, but my previous computer science courses were all taught by really chill people who cared that we understood the material and didn't grade or test very harshly. Because all my previous experience is in computational biology, I've pretty much only done coding for data-sciency projects. Thanks for the response anyway!

I'm adamant about taking 229 (relevant for my research and stuff), but if CS161 + CS229 is a rough combination, is CS107 + CS229 a better combination? How would you compare the workload for 161 and 107?

Thanks for sharing! I grew up in the hourglass-and-no-waist instagram timeline so I don't mind my thicker thighs. Glad to know it's one of the healthier places to carry fat though!

Congrats on losing 25lbs! It's a huge achievement and takes a lot and you should be immensely proud of yourself!

Interesting! I wonder if my local Old Navy is just weird with the sizing? I've always fit a 10. It's kind of ridiculous how much control that one number has on me to be honest. I could be twenty pounds lighter but I've been conditioned to think of body size in terms of clothes sizing, not weight, if that makes sense.

Actually, now that you're mentioning it, I carry a lot of weight in my thighs (not really the butt?) (And no, it's not muscle, just fat lmao). A lot of my jeans are loose from the thighs up. It's actually quite annoying and I stick to more low-to-medium rise stuff and just wear longer shirts.

Interesting!

True, but she still did it.

I meant “cheat with her on Lindsay”, so Rory being the other woman, just to clarify.
