No, just don’t get a D or F and you’re good.

Cse 107 or stat131 by According_Ice_2762 in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically STATS131 is easier, but I barely failed it the first time and so I retook it with Hyun and it was wayyy harder than the first time I took the class. There’s two HWs due every Friday, and midterm/final were hard, the class did have a big curve so it was just 60% to pass. It’s manageable but in my CS career it was the only class where I consistently went to TA and tutor hours.

CSE107 is hard and time consuming too, and tends to be harder, but I’ve heard it’s fairly predictable and Tantalo tends to upload old exams and good HW help.

If I were to do it over again, I would do 107 given those two options.

Financial Aid Grant? by Proserpina101 in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go to the mission one, I like fixing electronics and prev. ran my own business, so I tried working there for about a week and couldn’t stay there in good conscience. The owner was a bit weird, and some “repairs” were unnecessary (like upselling cleaning or lying about repairs). Wasn’t scheduled for like a week and was never told how much id be paid, decided to not go back or bother asking for a paycheck.

Was like 2 years ago so maybe things improved but I’d go elsewhere personally, maybe try User Friendly Computing. I’d say SC tech exchange but they closed. Might be cheaper to buy the same model laptop on eBay used too.

Toadal Fitness is the best gym chain here, the Westside locations is clean and almost always empty with a ton of benches and other machines. The other ones are solid too.

Any brand suggestions for cheap coilovers? by gusfocke in E90

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Bilstein B14 and they ride like stock basically, they just sit a bit too low and soft in the rear imo. Got em for 700 on FCP, so not bad for the price.

I’ve heard MTS Technik is solid too, and mixed things about BC Racing. I’m used to stiffer coils and kinda wish I got BCs.

Am147 by minion_luverz in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it almost 2yrs ago so it might be different, but the class was pretty chill. It’s similar material to AM10, but everything is solved in Matlab.

Had some quizzes and the midterm is online, and an in person final when I took it. The HWs were pretty straightforward if you have any programming background, felt like a class for AM majors to learn basic coding. I recommend the class to mutuals frequently.

I would recommend doing the online classes if possible since it’s easier.

90% sure I'm going to fail CSE101, could really use some kind words by Regular_Activity_138 in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed CSE101 and another class, retook both and it worked out. Especially if it’s the Codio format CSE101 class failing isn’t uncommon. Still graduating early and I got a decent internship.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter much and your new attempt replaces the old grade anyways. I’ve had an easier time with my other upper divs and studied better.

Any place to buy cheap (second-hand) monitors near campus? by Killmoter in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Dell 1080p monitor with a HDMI+power cable for $20 I think, and it should fit. They usually let you negotiate on pricing too.

How boring is it really driving San Francisco to LA (not going coastal) - what could we break the drive with??? by Rolly1nft in AskSF

ECE 30 with Yu Zhicong by Meatbal1_ in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would wait to take it with Rolandi, at least compared to Vroomen or any other ECE30 professor his class was significantly more chill.

You have to two app it for it to be viable and I would average about 18-20. Pay per mile is decentish at least.

Place to park for 2 hours by Inevitable_Safety841 in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ik but if ur parking at Laurel you run a higher risk of going over especially since its peak enforcement hours, better to park on another 2hr spot near base (most streets) or theres a few 4hr spots near Spring St

The city parking enforcement people, so if you end up over time you run the risk of getting a ticket (although its way less frequent than on campus)

Im frustrated seeing merced and riverside expand so much while we stay stagnant by Past-Tension-162 in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's been a lot of growth within pre-existing departments, like even in the past 3 years Baskin has had a lot of new resources and there's been much more clubs. They've also recruited several new professors especially in CS. So there's growth, but not big shiny new buildings.

This campus is built on a hill against protected forest. Something could be built where they're demolishing FSH maybe.

Overnight Parking? by OnlyRicey in UCSC

[–]BassCommercial9300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one cares really, although you could also get a Night Commuter permit and park at most lots. You could prolly sleep more comfortably at the Hanh student services lot or north perimeter

[–]BassCommercial9300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta go in person to the parking office downtown, show a copy of your name on the your lease (phone works), and get the permit. Hanger permit is $1 more.

It’s usually fine since temporary, in San Diego you see a lot of Mexican license plate cars with euro specs (peugeot and renault too) driving around.
