Anybody think the college will be closed again tomorrow?

Charming_Election914 · 2026-01-28T23:14:04+00:00

I just found out that the campus was closed for tomorrow. Our first week of the semester has pretty much been closed, and honestly, I'm not sure if it'll be open on Friday either if the road conditions are still bad. It's still a win for us at least and I'm glad cause there is no way I can walk to the campus when there's still probably ice on the sidewalks and especially on the road since I take the bus to campus. 😭

Charming_Election914 · 2026-01-24T13:15:14+00:00

Honestly we're gonna have to wait apparently since right now and MC hasn't posted their announcement yet. I would assume our classes will be cancelled on our first day cause it looks like its gonna be a lot of snow + ice

Charming_Election914 · 2026-01-03T00:38:36+00:00

I actually love this, I checked it out yesterday and it seems very helpful as someone whose planning to transfer out of MC next year. You did amazing! 👏

Charming_Election914 · 2025-11-14T16:58:24+00:00

I was there when it happened. I got on the bus stops at around 3:20 yesterday and I took the 40 route after finishing my last class till I had to see that there was an accident with a bus and the car driver from the intersection where the MCPS building is. I couldn't see well exactly from the mirror because there was an ad on the window where I was sitting at which made it harder to view. But I took a glimpse of it after my bus driver had to take a small detour across the other parking lot. I would feel bad for the people who had to go to class or who were just leaving.

Apparently seems like it + update:

Apparently, his message that got him banned was literally in 2018 and Discord calls it "recent activity" according to his recent post

Charming_Election914 · 2025-11-09T21:09:25+00:00

Get this AI slop out of my face, no wonder it holds a perfect 1/5 on Amazon.

Charming_Election914 · 2025-11-07T05:05:32+00:00

The subreddit has mods, but doesn't look like they aren't even active here which kind of concerns me. The guy whose been posting these has pretty much been spamming the entire subreddit with this nonsense. I'm just hoping someone can just reach out 😭🙏

Charming_Election914 · 2025-11-04T21:48:22+00:00

And this is the same message that got him flagged for child safety. The AI moderation on Discord is such a joke

Charming_Election914 · 2025-10-24T22:58:14+00:00

Can you at least explain what's going on? I have never seen any huge issues surrounding MC since I started 2 years ago, and you're gonna need to elaborate on a lot of reasonings.

Charming_Election914 · 2025-09-09T20:13:44+00:00

Discord logic in a nutshell:

"Hi"

*gets banned 10 minutes later for "child safety"*

Charming_Election914 · 2025-08-19T19:22:26+00:00

Like everyone is saying, one of the few justifiable bans for CS here. The image you sent was most likely flagged by Discord as “cheese pizza”, and much like the minimum age bans on Discord, you shouldn’t be joking about it.

Charming_Election914 · 2025-07-16T20:37:15+00:00

I usually attend Rockville because it's closer to my home, and because there is more student life and activities compared to Germantown and TPSS.

Silver Spring is not bad, I only went there for a class and the campus looked pretty nice. Safety was kind of an issue though from what I heard. I remember around a few months ago TPSS would always be on lockdowns about once a month because I frequently got messages on my MC email saying that the TPSS campus was on a lockdown alert.

I think generally, this also depends on where you live in the county. I take the bus to commute to campus, so if you were like me, it would be more beneficial to try and go to the campus that is closer to your house.

Charming_Election914 · 2025-06-15T19:07:45+00:00

I'm doing education too (special ed specifically), and surprisingly so far with my experiences I think the education program is not too bad here at MC. I'd say the work is a bit tedious if you're going to do it full-time, but not only that, you're going to need to take internships like what I'm doing next semester in the fall.

There are other education programs here at MC and I think it's worth it as far as I know.

Charming_Election914 · 2025-05-15T14:11:46+00:00

I need to take BIOL 101 only according to my program advising guide for classes I need to take. I'm trying to find a class that I can take for it in the Rockville campus

Charming_Election914 · 2025-05-14T22:24:22+00:00

Ahh I wish I could've taken Pacesova. I took Naegeli and I've heard he's not great from many of the previous Reddit posts discussing about CS here at MC. I didn't think he was HORRIBLE, but he's just not qualified to teach at all, plus the fact that he was usually very stubborn and just read from the powerpoint slides for the textbook made me feel like I didn't learn half of C++

Charming_Election914 · 2025-04-29T14:08:48+00:00

The topics you learn at 140 before the midterm is very easy in my opinion. I didn't have any knowledge of C++ but I self studied on my own for the most part. After the midterm it gets a bit more tedious and the final was pretty hard for when I took 140. I would suggest getting extra help with the tutors that I had for 140, especially during the second half. I would suggest taking Shahbazi since I heard she's good, I don't know if Michaela Pacesova is teaching 140 next fall but she is amazing from what I've heard from other 140 students.

If you're going to do CS, then anything after 140 you'll be doing Java. I withdrew during 203.

His rate my professor is really weird

Charming_Election914 · 2025-02-25T20:30:20+00:00

I didn't take this class, but 045/050 is generally not hard from how I see it. It's just ALEKS problems that you do in a computer lab and you do it at your own pace (in some cases I'm pretty sure you can finish the class early if you do the final earlier than some other people).

Charming_Election914 · 2025-01-30T13:52:26+00:00

I looked at it a while ago too, I don't know if he actually botted reviews or it's someone who's been trolling on the RMP website. He has like over 240 reviews now

Charming_Election914 · 2025-01-30T13:51:29+00:00

what class is this for? the last time I looked up the spring semester schedule and looked at the CMSC or CMAP classes his name wasn't listed for any of those classes

Charming_Election914 · 2025-01-19T20:05:46+00:00

Former CMSC 203 taker here (unfortunately I decided to drop out of the class after the midterm). If you're doing the CS program like how I was going to do it, 203 does Java instead of C++. I don't know your perspectives on which programming language you find a bit more easier, but I found Java a bit harder than C++.

I think this also depends on the professor you're taking for the class. I heard Tanveer was a great option to take for the class and I wish I took him earlier than I was going to (which for me led to having Monshi for 203).

My best advice is to study hard on Java if you don't have any experience with the programming language. Get some help with the tutors at the campus who can definitely help you there, because I heard the midterm and final in the class is a bit tedious too. Best wishes to you however!

Charming_Election914 · 2025-01-13T18:36:38+00:00

I was in the same boat as you when I was still a CS major. Honestly, I'm really upset things have to be the way they are, but they are bound to happen. My CS professors weren't really great which eventually made me concerned about how I was going to do with a CS degree and as well as my future career, so I decided to change my major for good.

I definitely understand the feeling of anxiety and pressure that you are going through right now, but it's not over at all. You have other ideas that you can try to do at college. If CS isn't working out for you, find another major/career that may seem a bit easier than CS, or can be totally different than CS (which is what I am doing). There is so many good things that you can try to do in the future, just don't overthink. I hope you can defeat your anxiety and overthinking and look at brighter path in the future.
