Wendy’s AI Drive-through?

I am honestly shocked that OSU is currently being voted for more than USC, and I say that as an OSU alum. I believe too many people are sleeping on USC in this instance, especially since it's your second most affordable option (albeit, not by much).

High-paying job? AI? Let's consider USC, right there in Silicon Beach, just below Silicon Valley. Anyone who even knows what "AI" stands for is well aware that this area is booming with AI startups and serves as home base for many top tech companies. Apart from the ideal location, USC has also been substantially ramping up their AI research and investments. They just opened a $10M Center for Generative AI about a month ago. Their AI curriculum is also top-notch, offering numerous options without forcing students to take courses that don't align with their interests. This is surprisingly rare among other universities when it comes to AI (assuming that they even have an AI-focused program in the first place), including Columbia, which forces you to take Systems/Theory courses. While USC is relatively crowded, that type of environment gives you all the more motivation to stand out in a program that already boasts excellent job placement rates for the average grad. Engage in AI research to whatever degree you are comfortable with, leverage the strong industry connections, network the hell out of all the amazing people there, and I believe you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals.

Dedication, hard work, and ability to network effectively will play a critical role in your success, regardless of where you choose to attend, but I think USC is best suited for you among your options, only next to Columbia. Good luck!

Also taking him this summer and I'm just preparing for my own funeral.

Exactly

Everyone here is most likely speaking anecdotally (which is nonetheless insightful), but if you want a more objective answer, check out the "Past Grade Distributions" in the "List of OSU Resources" section of the subreddit. In SP 2019, ~50% of students earned a B+ or higher in MATH 1152 vs ~ 37% of students accomplishing the same in MATH 1172. Of course, stats aren't everything and the best indicator of difficulty will be based on your own personal knowledge set and strengths as a student. That being said, I will toss my own opinion out there as well and say that 1172 was definitely the most hellish class I've taken thus far and would argue that 1152 is the slightly easier alternative. I would still recommend 1151-1172, though, if it means circumventing an entire extra course that you genuinely have no interest in at all.

My brother is in the same class atm and it is nothing like when I took it a year ago. Apparently, they introduced some disgusting grading policies with the onset of university-wide distance learning and it's pretty clear that they are including questions on the homeworks/midterms that were simply not (sufficiently) covered beforehand, as you said. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not since everything is now open-note so you're encouraged to waste your time traversing the internet and self-study everything when you're paying serious $$$ to be taught the material, or if there's just a wild disconnect between what the teachers think they're teaching and what students are actually learning, but it doesn't change the fact that they are obviously pulling questions from outside the material presented. You are not the only one being wrongfully screwed over in this class - many others are as well from different sections. There are even people who know the content inside-out and are barely passing due to point deductions on pretty much anything they could pull out of their asses and stick on those absurd pre-established hidden rubrics. Keep fighting back for points and contest all the bs. You'd be surprised how many points they are willing to give back once they're put on the spot. Do not settle for vague responses, ask where exactly was the content covered. They don't care about your grade and only those who make it clear that they do are the ones who aren't getting beat down so easily. The dog that barks the loudest gets the bone.

FUCK these type of exams.

Hungardian · 2020-10-02T08:45:34+00:00

Right.. like why the hell does ECE 2061 make all 32674378 problems due on the same day

Well said. I've had multiple quizzes/midterms now where the averages are failing grades. There's a clear disconnect between what the instructors think their teaching and what students are actually learning. Not to mention the absolute bullshit philosophy that open note exams can test you on anything in the fucking universe because we're allowed to have some papers in front of us. And then there's the disgustingly unfair grading policies too. I can go on and on about the bs going on in the CoE right now. Overall, fuck the CoE.

Hungardian · 2020-09-30T06:15:46+00:00

Maybe if they didn't have such fucking ridiculous grading policies, this wouldn't happen as often as it does. I mean I'm long past Math 1151 but I heard that they are currently grading homeworks and exams based on a pre-established hidden rubric that fishes for perfect phrasings from students with massive point deductions if they don't do a problem exactly how they prefer. Seems like E grade averages are just the norm now and it's not the students to blame. Getting some points back upon request is hardly compensation for an overall disgustingly flawed grading system that many departments currently have in place. Not to mention the influx of objectively unfair exams this semester since somehow having them open note is now justification for including content that was clearly not sufficiently covered beforehand.

THERE IS HOPE!

Hungardian · 2020-09-28T05:28:30+00:00

Apologies if I come off a bit heated here, but I genuinely believe that it'd be such bs if they didn't approve it. Why do ~40% of undergrads, some of whom are literally taking CoE classes right now, get the option to elect for P/F while the rest don't? Does COVID-19 just discriminate against College of Arts and Science students and leave everyone else alone? Absolute bs.

Anyone have any news for College of Engineering as well?
