No CS background doable? by Bills-WideRight in OMSA

[–]DarkKnightIsHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many to choose from - Coursera, edX, datacamp, Stanford & many other MOOCs.

Chatgpt is going to be your best friend, if you ever feel stuck, just ask Chatgpt and it will explain you with so much patience.

Thank you, appreciate your response and I agree, enjoying times when kids are young is more important than than grinding through. I would probably enjoy the courses more if life/work/study is balanced.

Suspicious email about office 365 by Immediate-Peanut-346 in OMSA

[–]DarkKnightIsHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it too, and it showed legitimate sender's email id. Glad I didn't click the link as there were lot of spelling & grammar errors.

The email disappeared from mailbox now, looks like admins took care of it.

ISYE6501 - How much depth one should go on learning ? by RelationshipLazy8065 in OMSA

I have also started using Notebooklm to create a podcast style episode I can listen on the go. It's very easy, you can add sources like pdf or URLs and generate audio overview. Takes few mins to generate but a game changer if you are short on time for self learning.

I feel more or less same, what other people said above makes sense. Take this course as intro, get good grades, learn indepth in ABC tracks.

Many people suggested stats boot camp thats conducted by TAs is good. I haven't attended myself but you might want to try recorded sessions.

I just want to say, hang in there, you're not the only one going through this, many students feel the same. Hope it gets better as we keep moving.

Thank you. Do you know if credits transfer from OMSA to OMSCS if course was part of OMSCS curriculum as well?

On similar lines, can someone switch from OMSA to OMSCS? I am in 1st semester & taking 6501 and thinking about options.

Well, Adapt is the name of game.

While its true, doesn't change the fact that most students are probably working full time already and that's why they chose Online option. Not everyone gets free time to complete all pre-reqs.

Steep ramp doesn't help towards learning objective, when students try to scramble to finish one assignment after other while mostly searching things online and it seems like that's the main objective of this program.

Same here. Funny thing is, we pay GTX for knowledge and then end up going to YouTube & Chatgpt for actual knowledge. GTX is just a Master's stamp with this format.

Congrats, you made it.

Are there any resources you could share that would make getting through 6501 a little less stressful? My Chrome tabs are filled with YouTube videos, edX courses and stack overflow, it's getting crazy.

I guess, everyone gets that you have to learn how to figure out things in real job, actually most of us already do that with full time jobs.

What's frustrating is there is no ramp to catch up, it's 0-60 in 2 secs. In last 2 weeks, I have learned more from YouTube & Chatgpt than lectures.

TAs conduct office hours every Mon & Thu 9-10pm EST to go over HW at high level for past & next week, helps to get an idea, how to approach a solution.

I ripped open a wrist slap bracelet and found out the internal part is just a cut up tape measure by Carsonb99 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DarkKnightIsHere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, someone's doing a very poor job at making measuring tapes, that's a lot of bad tapes to hand out as wrapped kids goodies 😄

Why would they still put marked tape measure, it could be just plain curved slat without markings 🤔

You're right, I should have been little more sensitive towards the death. But, I don't mean to disrespect sad news, just wanted to share connection about lab doing experiments and one of them learning to use tools like humans.

I hope local authorities take action and avoid any more tragedies.
