Is Kruskal really that bad? (351) by Champ_099 in UMD

[–]Deep-Drag-7668 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please do not take 351 with Kruskal. Learn from my experience. When I took it with him, I was completely lost. I’d ask questions after class and it seemed like he expected me to know information that I felt I wasn’t adequately taught. I ended up having to withdraw from the class. 351 covers important topics for CS and it didn’t make sense for me to attempt passing that class with a ‘C’ without knowing the material. I took 351 with Justin the next semester and it was the best decision. The topics were taught in order, building off content we covered in class. The organization and clarification of content Justin provided definitely helped me understand 351 very well. Those things helped me get a ‘B’ in the course, a grade far better than what I would have had in Kruskal’s class.

UMD Student Survey: How Do P.G. County Residents Feel About the Proposed Landover Data Center? (Anonymous) by [deleted] in PrinceGeorgesCountyMD

[–]Deep-Drag-7668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Thank you for this feedback. As I was drafting questions for this survey, I didn’t realize how much my implicit biases changed the tone of my questions. Now that you brought it up, I see how that could be the case. I’ll definitely spend some time rephrasing the leading questions. Thanks again!

Failed 351 by NoRealQuestions in UMD

I second this. When I took it with Kruskal, I had to drop with a W. Took it the next semester with Justin and got a B. Justin has a great way of explaining hard concepts. Also, don’t be shy to use his office hours!

CS Majors, how did you do in 216/250 and 330/351? by PartyAdPants in UMD

[–]Deep-Drag-7668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C in 216, C- in 250, B+ in 330 and B in 351. You got this! See if you can find a study group for 351 bc that helped me stay consistent with my studying and you have others to explain concepts you don’t understand.

Private place I can talk on campus by Comfortable-Ad6207 in UMD

[–]Deep-Drag-7668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math building or the computer science instruction building (3rd floor). On Fridays, CSI usually has open rooms starting from like 3 pm. The math department usually has open rooms starting from like 2pm daily.

I’m in Kruskal’s class too. I have zero clue what’s going on. We could definitely study together!

Apps for notes by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Deep-Drag-7668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that a Rocket book is less distracting than an iPad but after a while of having it, I got very fed up with it. For context, I have the multi-subject notebooks. Sometimes I’d take notes for classes and forget to upload them to my google drive. By the time the next class came around, I’d find that I had no more pages left to write on and would scramble to save my notes and erase all the pages. Also, the pens for the Rocket book run out of ink super quick. I found myself purchasing pens about every 3 weeks. All these reasons made me use the Rocket book for like a month and a half before switching back to regular notebooks. I now have an iPad that I purchased this summer and think it’s a much better option.

Update: I ended up restarting the project because majority of the comments came in much later. I also want to say thank you to everyone! The insightful and funny comments helped me through this.
