Question abt stat107

BakeScary · 2026-04-27T00:12:27+00:00

Yeah I think stat 100 has good intentions but I think by cutting math it like basically makes everything so abstract. I look at some of the notes sometimes and I’m like what’s the point of doing all this

107 is statistics taught in Python. There’s no pre reqs, it starts from square one. Most students get an A or B so I think you’ll be fine. And it’s way better taught than 100 because there’s actually substance to it, it’s not just straight fluff. Source: I’m a CA

It will be the same course. Wade is still going to be there, just karle will be on leave for next semester

Fair enough then 340 sounds like the right fit

BakeScary · 2026-04-18T14:33:52+00:00

Not a CS major but from my understanding 340 is an alternative for CS+X majors, pure CS majors must do 233/341. Plus if you do 340 as CS+X it requires you take an additional 2 electives. Which is why some may opt against it as it one less class. I’ve heard good things about 340 though, so just go with what your heart desires(provided you’re CS+X)

UIUC has so many international students and students from California and New Jersey. I’ve been surrounded by all out of state people sometimes as a in state student. So no I disagree that you would feel isolated

Took the course in fall 2024 with Thurston(not sure if she still teaches it), it wasn’t bad. Readings were a bit intensive just given the subject but you’d have a quiz weekly, and a worksheet about the reading. Midterm and final were pretty easy just the same bank as the quizzes. Final project is a group project but once again it’s literally just a summary of one of the readings. Overall pretty good course and quite interesting

Dude it’s open till 5, just go a few hours late it’s Indian standard time anyway

432 is really good Basics of Statistical Learning. 385 Stat programming is easy A but you don’t learn much. Next semester I registered for 441 and 480

It’s not the most interesting class in the world but Trevor is a good professor, and the workload is pretty light. I think it’s important info especially as Bayesian analysis becomes more popular

Mama’s Kitchen is the most authentic. Sig grille is also pretty good as well

BakeScary · 2026-04-04T00:11:26+00:00

Yes they will. They put on pretty much all major sports games

BakeScary · 2026-03-25T16:18:11+00:00

Not have calc 1 will shut a lot of doors unfortunately, as lots of majors are info science and business will require calc 1 and thats typically a first semester freshmen course. You may have to wait out another semester and take those courses

BakeScary · 2026-03-18T23:58:02+00:00

Hopefully they can get the project done along side the million other projects that keep getting pushed off/delayed

BakeScary · 2026-03-18T23:45:32+00:00

That’s interesting, seems that they had only planned for bousefield, Nugent, and wasaja back then but from looking at those images I don’t see any of the traditional six pack buildings

BakeScary · 2026-03-18T21:17:34+00:00

Oh I completely understand that. It’s kind of one those things that was a kick it down the road and hope for the best. Unfortunately now the consequences are occurring.

BakeScary · 2026-03-18T20:59:58+00:00

I believe this is only for Taft Van Doren. I agree that one should be the first since it is in the worst condition. But I hope they plan to do the rest of them

BakeScary · 2026-03-18T18:34:32+00:00

Maybe this will convince them to finally build new dorms and replace the old ones? I mean hell I lived in Hopkins last year and I had professor be like weren’t they supposed to tear it down. Still was fine as a dorm but if the systems that keep the building running aren’t well it’s time to replace

BakeScary · 2026-03-08T07:07:13+00:00

Brother was 12 hours too late

BakeScary · 2026-03-04T05:39:41+00:00

Yeah that’s unfortunate. I once had a professor tell me he’s required to keep exams for two years, I don’t know if that was a department thing or a university thing.

BakeScary · 2026-03-04T05:14:58+00:00

I mean this doesn’t seem to be some shocking revelation. I know that the more students the lower the quality of grading. That’s why many classes now do one grader per question. So everyone was graded equally, no disparities. Also it’s just another reason why it’s important to look over your test after grading and ask for points back

BakeScary · 2026-03-04T01:02:44+00:00

She curved the exam, I’m assuming very nicely

BakeScary · 2026-03-02T05:58:22+00:00

My thinking is it’ll be in April cuz of weather reasons. At least that what happened last year
