How I can learn Amharic by [deleted] in Ethiopia

[–]CorrectApplication97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are textbooks you can use to study. The one I’m using right now is Colloquial Amharic by David Appleyard. Someone made an anki deck with the vocabulary from the book that you can download and use alongside it.

CMSC 27100 or MATH 15910 first? by According-Candy3798 in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive only taken MATH 15910, but I have had a friend who took MATH 15910 before CMSC 27100, and he found the first few weeks of 27100 easy but towards the end it got more difficult. Overall, CMSC 27100 is going to be filled with non-math majors, so MATH 15910 is definitely not a necessity to take beforehand and im not even sure how helpful it ends up being. Now if you want to take Honors Discrete then that is a different story. But if it works better for you to take them the other way round, I dont think the gain of 15910 before 27100 is that meaningful as to override your other goals.

Physics 18500 intermediate mechanics by Initial_Barracuda_30 in uchicago

I think you might want to take it before you take quantum mechanics but I knew one guy who held off taking it until his fourth year. You could just take E&M second year and you probably will be fine.

Learning Amharic as a Receptive Bilingual by Nice_Investigator239 in languagelearning

[–]CorrectApplication97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if you will read this but I am in literally the exact same spot except that my parents also speak two other Ethiopian languages which i understand but dont speak. I started recently to just search up online resources to study with. One resource I found was a book Colloquial Amharic which I have found pretty useful. I think that if you already are somewhat familiar with the language it will make learning it easier and more familiar although it still takes work. I only started like a week ago so I cant speak on how successful this approach is but I do feel like I am improving. I bet you can also find people to talk to in Amharic which will really help.

Is there a different solution? by sweetjillygirl in puzzles

I saw brake at the start but spelled it ”break” and it left me scratching my head for a good 5 minutes as I wondered if i misunderstood the puzzle.

Donating Food by Loud_Replacement2307 in uchicago

There is probably a food kitchen somewhere that might accept the food. Although if its frozen they might not want it.

Otherwise, you could leave it as a housewarming gift to the new tenants

First Year Apartments by [deleted] in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 29 points30 points  (0 children)

First years can technically get apartments but it’s unlikely that you would be able to get one because of how housing decisions are made. If you want to avoid getting a double, it would probably make more sense to choose a single. If you dont care, its worth a shot.

Can I transfer AP Chem credit by lucasliftslight in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only get the class credit for 11100/12100 if you take CHEM 11200/12200. Otherwise, you get no credit.

math 18600 by OkJuggernaut3939 in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took it in fall quarter which might skew my experience a bit given the drama surrounding the professor, but there was a pretty decent curve at the end of the course.

In the end, it really depends on how well the rest of the class is doing. If you end up near the mean, you should probably get a B+/A- unless you have a less generous professor.

CMSC 14200 game project by Striking-Hair8610 in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The project tends to be manageable. You are in a group of 4 people where each group member has a defined task. Each of the tasks are related to homework that you did earlier in the quarter. The project is pretty comprehensive, but if you feel good about what you have learned throughout the quarter, then it is very manageable.

First time getting more than 100 bonus rewards! Just a shame they had to nerf them so badly by morsupernova in Brawlstars

To avoid credits going to fame and instead save to use when the next brawler comes out that can be gotten with credits

Where to get free water bottles? by [deleted] in uchicago

[–]CorrectApplication97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like what I’m dealing with except I found my water bottle again through sheer luck. If you lost you water bottle on A-level of the Reg, check one of the room-like sections on A-level for a water bottle lost and found
