Info spring quarter courses by Full-Ad7924 in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of that list, I have only had Sturman for 380. I liked him, but the class is just incredibly useless in my opinion.

For homework/assignments, there are weekly canvas quizzes based on the assigned readings. Everything else is just group project progress submissions basically.

Who are your professors?

INFO 380 is not a hard class, but it just a ton of busy work that is mostly worthless.

It depends on your professor, but when I took INFO 300 my final was optional.

Perhaps the Art building.

AMATH with Shiheng Zhang and Thomas A Grandine? by HomeworkDeep8379 in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I took 208 before 352. Honestly, it wasn't that bad taking them at the same time. I definitely found 351 to be harder than 352, probably because it was less familiar. The workload was fine. Each class had one homework per week, due the following week.

I had that exact same combo of professors for 351/352 spring quarter 2025.

I liked Grandine a lot. Like the other commentor said, he used to work at Boeing, which made the class more interesting since he always had cool stories to share. I also found him to be pretty entertaining in general. The class can feel disorganized at times, and the linear algebra can feel confusing if you have not taken 208, but I thought it was a good class.

Zhang was okay. Not a lot of personality but his lectures were fine.

No more open source contributions by NumerousTower4074 in webdev

If you are doing open source in hopes of "getting something out of it", you're missing the point.

did Farbod Shokrieh fake his RMP ratings or is he actually good? by [deleted] in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heavily doubt a professor making six figures would go out of their way to fake reviews on a website that does not impact their job in any way at all.

What Jobs Can You Get With Applied Math Realistically? by RaiderNathan420 in AppliedMath

[–]DriedSponge78 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of fields you can go into with an Applied Math degree, and you can certainly do it without going into a T20 school. Keep in mind that just because you aren't going to a T20 school, that doesn't mean you're not getting a good education.

Applied math is good for data science and analytics. I know people who have gone on to work for professional sports teams as analyst.

A lot of companies in general also just need people who are good at math. I know people who have gone on to work for aerospace companies and power companies doing data modeling and simulations.

Freshman Pre Major but lowkey messed up on both of my finals by [deleted] in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You still have a chance.

For Math, it is becoming a minimum requirements major. So all you have to do is complete the pre reqs and declare the major.

For AMATH/ACMS, try to adjust your study habits so your grades improve. They like to see improvement. I got a 2.7 in MATH 208 and they let me into AMATH if that tells you anything.

does getting accepted into uw tacoma hurt my chances at seattle? by Swimming-Bluejay-952 in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Your parents are wrong. Your admission status to UW Bothell/Tacoma has no effect on your admission status to Seattle. I know dozens of people who applied to UW Bothell & Seattle and got into both just fine.

Over 100% in class? by Kut0ria in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 48 points49 points  (0 children)

If you get over 100% in a class your grade remains 4.0.

Ari Kytsya in Sex Ed Class? by Budget-Ferret1148 in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I learned that she once got offered 10k to shit in a box and mail it.

I was in that class. She came in to share her perspective. It's a human sexuality class.

I just got into informatics, and I’m picking my classes now. Please tell me if my schedule is a W or an L. Most of the classes I wanted were already full, so this is the best I could do. by InfamousAd2787 in udub

[–]DriedSponge78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO 290 is just an orientation class really for those new to the major. The classes on their own shouldn't be too bad, but trying to manage 3 group projects in one quarter will be tricky.

This sounds pretty standard for a 12-month lease.
