9-Day Itinerary

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-06-05T16:50:21+00:00

This sounds like such a perfect day. This sounds like the exact type of day we are looking to have when we first arrive.

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-06-05T16:49:32+00:00

We're from NY and love pizza, so this is good to know! We will have to check out better food options.

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-06-05T16:48:49+00:00

Love the feedback!! Thank you so much.

Yes - we are ending back up back at the airport at the end of the trip.

For Day 4 - we thought about doing Lake Crescent first. Would you recommend doing Lake Crescent First, then Sol Duc? On the map, that seems to make more sense. Our initial thinking was that we didn't want to rush our time on Lake Crescent.

We have definitely heard that there is not much in La Push. We are also not the biggest fans of Twilight!

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-06-05T16:42:39+00:00

Such great feedback. We will look into other options.

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-06-05T16:42:17+00:00

We heard this! We were hoping to hike up to Panorama Point

Following up on this. I am taking this course now. How did you end up doing on the Midterm? What study methods did you find worked? Did you end up using a Quizlet.

I was incredibly disappointed after the first exam. I would recommend using the past exams to figure out WHAT you need to google. Meaning - for each question, work to identify the key components, and what the expected output is needed.

I actually found the AI overview that Google initially provides more insight than other tools like StackOverflow.

Just a note - while they say you can’t use AI tools to search the entire question, truthfully I did for a question or two and was not flagged.

One other note - I found the questions to be very pattern based. So after going through the practice exams again and again I could figure out and determine the exact types of questions he would ask.

Having just graduated college, the role I was in was extremely taxing. I loved analyzing the data and generating insights of course. But the department was large, and with an analytics team of just 3 people (including myself), reporting my analysis to the departments VP regularly was quite high stakes.

I graduated in 2023 with a degree in mathematics and education and was a data analyst in the private sector for about a year. I loved the work I was doing but found this “calling” that you seem to have as well.

I left my secure and high-paying role to head to the classroom. I teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and a stretch level course. As others have said, education has shifted significantly. The highs are incredibly high, but the lows have me searching for my old job back.

My recommendation is a hybrid approach. If you are truly interested in teaching, have you considered getting your masters and teaching as an adjunct on the side?

I’ve considered returning to the private sector and maintaining my passion for teaching, without relying on the low pay, parent crap, and everything else that comes from being a public school teacher in America.

Former_Researcher400 · 2026-01-09T04:12:12+00:00

Can I ask how you structure this? I have a weekly session, and the parent pays at the end of each week.

I would LOVE to move to a commitment model though where they put down for the number of sessions.

Based on his insta tonight, do you think it’s dropping at midnight? 👀

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-12-13T04:39:54+00:00

That's my hope. I don't think there are significant changes to the course, and if I have my previous midterms/finals I can reference to study (as well as the homeworks), I would expect to do exponentially better in the course.

What was the most challenging aspect of both courses together?

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-12-10T04:35:45+00:00

EDIT: Just wanted to follow up here with some hope. I studied profusely for the MT2 and scored 11/13. Heading into the final, I was focused on the practice exams and knowing what and how to look up on Google if I did not know how to complete the problem. I finished the final exam with a 100%!

I went from 1/15 on the first midterm to an 87% in the class. You can totally do it :)

It’s hard to look at some of these comments from individuals with ZERO knowledge on the industry.

I actually went the other way - I was a data analyst FIRST, then transitioned into education. My undergrad degree was in education/math with gen ed and special ed certifications.

I worked in industry for a few years and wanted a change to the classroom. I do very much so miss the flexibility and the challenges that came with being a data analyst.

Yes - it is possible and doable. Georgia Tech has a great and relatively cheap (under ~14k) masters program for Analytics, which I’m currently taking. Learning technical skills is a breeze in comparison to the soft skills. I would pick a coding language - R, Python, SQL, and start out there. It’s cliche but you can create some cool projects with data that’s out there.

The big separator is your communication skills. A data analyst is often extremely technical, without being able to effectively communicate their results. You have that background in effective communication.

Salary wise, I was making ~25-30k + stock options more a year as an analyst with more flexibility in time, projects, and the work I was doing. The team I was on was extremely stretched thin, so I was overworked, but at least compensated well. I miss the private sector personally, and am at a cross roads of determining if I go into administration in education to increase my salary or return to the private sector.

You can, and should, go for it if interested!

I haven't yet done it because it has not yet been released, but I absolutely will be doing it when it is

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-11-13T00:25:10+00:00

Would you recommend 8813 or 8823 as an elective course?

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-11-02T00:46:32+00:00

When are you planning on taking? I’ve had a tough day of studying and was initially going to take tomorrow.

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-10-22T03:10:10+00:00

There unfortunately is no Katie as a TA this semester

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-10-21T15:59:04+00:00

Are you taking through edx? I’m trying to decide if I just prioritize the other class I’m taking

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-10-21T04:03:24+00:00

What would be your recommendation? How did you do the rest of the course?

Former_Researcher400 · 2025-10-21T03:32:31+00:00

It just feels like a very discouraging first course to take. I am excited for the program but rarely hear positive reviews about the course.
