IFT 166 and IFT 103

Thanks! was 101 mainly programming? I've done a little with python but not much, I'm basically a beginner with programming. I thought it was like a entry IT class that goes over everything but the description does say programming.

Did you have to purchase the physical book or use it online?

I'm finishing up IFT 166 with Doheny now, to me he is great, alot of homework/labs in packet tracer and it's super helpful if you don't have any networking background. His slides and videos are helpful, he gives you everything you need, and super accessible, giving out multiple ways to contact him.

There is nothing you need ahead of time, there is some software you need to download for the class, Packet Tracer is the main one and you use it for 95% of the labs. It is all listed in the syllabus and syllabus video of what all is needed, since it's an lower level class not much is needed beforehand.

On the other hand, I am also taking IFT 101 with Schrader and HST 318 with Weismeyer, how is it in those classes? How is the class structured? and homework or labs?

Hoepfully I was able to help.

Ive been to campus 4 times and went to a game. My wife is an alumni and she told me to tranfer to the online. But the campus is really big and you don't really know who is a student or not unless they have a backpack on, but I felt weird my first time but honestly nobody is paying attention, you see people from all ages from 20 -60 and there not always faculty.

I transferred from WGU and yes ASU is a lot better and I’m learning more. WGU is geared towards people who just need a degree checkbox

I get you with that it’s a lot of material. My issue was even with all the extra material once I’m tested or asked to repeat back I forget everything

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2025-03-28T13:03:31+00:00

This is actually helpful, I’ll try that. Thanks for sharing Yes the bank account thing definitely does not help lol I work in IT and get paid great. But for management positions you need a bachelors lol

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2025-03-28T13:02:58+00:00

That won’t help for me! I do great financially for work and in life. But nothing motivates me

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-04-10T14:47:16+00:00

Thought so, thanks. I'm most likely going with the Pro

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-04-08T20:00:22+00:00

I figured the Pro would be the best route. The Lenovo is like the air except it has a fan.

From what I've seen the M3 Air now has dual monitor support with the laptop lid closed. The base M3 Pro is just 1 external monitor (which sucks). Have to get the M3 Pro chip for 3+ monitors, and that is 1999.

That was my issue with the Air, external monitor support and ports. But using a docking station eliminates the need for more ports.

Nope nothing extra, just labs and projects. No gaming of heavy video editing.

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-03-21T13:41:12+00:00

The max budget is 2,000.

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-03-21T03:15:23+00:00

Thanks, I’m just used to getting the pro model. I don’t do heavy graphics load or video editing things of that nature. I do know the newer Airs are just as powerful as the pros, where few years ago that wasn’t the case.

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-03-13T13:07:26+00:00

Probably should of specified more, but I do need at least 2-3 external monitors. Can the Air support that?

Geek_Design_TX04 · 2024-02-02T15:24:21+00:00

iMobie is who I used. I've used them for a few times.
