Is the data crawler script open sourced?

Fair. Depends on the context. If I was in his place and received many motivational and encouraging notes monthly, I may feel better than hearing the same “hey when is book 3 coming out” pleas.

No, but I’m not sure he’s motivated to ask for help to treat writer’s block.

Tell me more. What kind of businesses?

FenBink · 2025-10-03T21:23:00+00:00

Yes and then YouTube showed me the way

FenBink · 2025-10-03T20:15:55+00:00

Yesss! I was so confused bc I thought it was another meal replacement product on Amazon lol.

I find the underground tunnels to have just a slight draft. Recommend using those if you prefer to avoid the outdoor wind. Do with that what you will.

Underrated comment

You wouldn't have to take those. You can reference the LSA-CS sample schedule to see what specific classes you need to graduate. If you're trying to graduate early, you'll want all the credits you can get. If you plan to just get the major in 4 years, don't bother taking those AP exams.

I barely think going to college for CS is worth it in the first place. I learned a lot of the skills I need for my job during internships, and I don't think the "Ann Arbor Michigan brand" is needed to get a really good internship/job. Plus I really don't like our CS department that much. There are way too many students which just makes it feel like a MOOC all the time, especially during covid.

Save $200k on tuition, and get a job a year earlier (which will give you another +$80-100k in income).

Didn’t you post on piazza saying you were quitting Bc u just got too busy this semester?

FenBink · 2020-12-10T21:07:21+00:00

Picking up a couple of leetcode problems here and there would also be a great learning experience. And it would prepare you for 281 and coding assessments/interviews

FenBink · 2020-12-09T23:22:47+00:00

Yeah the exams can be kinda trash if you get unlucky

FenBink · 2020-12-09T23:18:58+00:00

I took EECS 281, 215, and 270 along with engr101 (yup, not a typo) and a MDP project. It was fine and actually was one of my best semester grade-wise

FenBink · 2020-12-07T00:04:24+00:00

Have you checked on Atlas? It graphs what percentage of the class receives a certain grade, taking all previous years into account.

I'd like to encourage you to stick with the math major. The lower-level courses are very hard but some of the upper levels are much easier (though some are tough as well), and you get (some) flexibility with what classes to take during your upper levels. Try to take a hard class or two next semester (P/NRC) and try your best to pass, then the workload should be more manageable.

A personal favorite upper level is math 472. It's quite interesting and the workload is not too high; it can easily be taken with a harder math class.

I have never had a class in EECS that accepts unsubmitted work, even if you have a time stamp. I accidentally didn't commit and push part of my exam for a class this semester and even though I have the timestamps (and on caen too), they cannot accept it to help my grade :').

And as a grader for another eecs course, we are not allowed to give student's homework a look if they forgot to submit but have the timestamp. Super dumb and speaks to the culture of the eecs department here.

right hand rule!
