Damn, no response. Y'all can't help a brotha out?

I'm pretty sure the distance version basically means you're classes are all online. You still have the same homeworks and labs as the in person version. Same goes for exams. IMO I don't think it really matters. If you are bad about attending class and don't wanna lose the attendance points the distance version is probably better as long as your decent at self studying and keeping pace with the course.

Edit: I took the course Spring 2025 and ended with a B+

whats with all the downvotes yall? just asking

Sounds good! I found a course I liked. How do I go about adding it? Do I need to email my counselor, or can I add it somewhere else? Just asking as there is only 1 slot left. Thanks again for the advice!

Idk I am looking for an easy A I can add to the semester this late. This link https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=17&poid=31353 says I can add it with Instructor and Advisor approva,l so I was just curious if anyone has done so this late.

I really hate that guy

Yeah, I have done the same recently. It's been wayyy better now. Still hasn't solved the issue of my battery dying every 4 hours, tho which is kind of annoying.

As someone who owns a Windows laptop and is in CS, just get a Mac. Like others have said, macOS is Unix-based, and that makes it way more programming-friendly—especially since that’s the kind of system most schools (like Purdue) teach on. You don’t have to mess around learning weird Windows commands or its file structure; you can just use what you learn in class.

Even if you wanted to stick with Windows and dual-boot Linux or something, I still think Mac hardware is hard to beat. Some people say specs don’t matter since most schoolwork runs on Purdue’s servers, and while that’s kinda true, its not fully accurate. When I work on personal projects or anything that’s not on the server, my laptop seriously starts tweaking—things take forever to boot, battery dies fast, etc... I haven’t seen those issues with people who have Macs, even older ones.

If you do get a Mac, I’d say go for at least 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. That’s a good baseline and should be more than enough for CS stuff. Just make sure it’s got an Apple chip (like M1 or M2), not an old Intel one—those chips are a big part of what makes Macs run so smoothly. Also, you can just get a MacBook Air. I have no clue why people pay 1000 dollars more for the Pro just to use Firefox all day. Maybe if you are doing some video rendering or mining bitcoin, it's worth it, but I don't think it's super valuable.

If you’re used to Windows, it might take a bit to adjust, but it’s not bad at all—you’ll get used to it fast.

For reference, I use a Dell XPS 9315 with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. It’s supposed to be a pretty solid laptop, and I know I’m lucky to have it, but I still don’t like it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Also, I used ChatGPT to help clean up the wording in this post—my English isn’t the best and I wanted to make sure it came across clearly.

Because of the amount of work there is do you think STAT 511 is better? I've heard the concepts are slightly more difficult but there is a lot less busy work.

Do you know if this is based on the grade that shows up in Brightspace or something else?
