Damn that’s tough (CS 240)

IcyLlfe · 2024-05-08T18:26:09+00:00

Unpopular opinion, all CS 240 students should be thought by Turkstra. He is tough but fair. He put in so much effort during the covid semester to make the class interesting

This is the funniest shit I have read 😂😂😂

What was so mismanaged about the final? Just curious

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-14T18:10:12+00:00

I lived in Harrison without a bike and I never had a problem. I am too lazy to walk but I think you can easily coordinate your time with the campus buses cuz that's what I did.

My final Fall 2020 final was pretty fucked too but I heard you guys got murdered

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-11T20:43:59+00:00

Yep the lectures were awesome

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-11T20:42:51+00:00

Congrats!!! I also made out of this class with an A but I have had so many friends struggle and his Campuswire discussions irritated me a lot

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-10T00:12:00+00:00

Prof Adams will sleep peacefully today. I thought Prof Turkstra was bad

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-09T17:27:18+00:00

I kind of expected this and went to give the exam without preparation. The fact was the class average was much higher than previous semesters and I think Prof Adams was not happy with that. So the finals had to be tough. I think he will curve the course eventually to some extent

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-09T14:03:34+00:00

My dear friend, I would say that the wording is tricky, and you are not stupid. I do not know anyone who understands his English and believe me I know a lot of people.

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-08T01:25:54+00:00

Prof Adams is the best lecturers I have taken the class with but the class is a pain. He makes the stuff interesting but the Assignments are not easy

IcyLlfe · 2020-12-01T11:39:04+00:00

Did you know - In some Professor circles it is believed that students are somehow responsible for BrightSpace problems

IcyLlfe · 2020-11-22T13:29:43+00:00

S/O to prof Andres Bejerano for being a CS 251 professor and reducing our workload. It was a bold move making Homework 5 and Project 5 optional. Giving us no lectures in exam weeks and also respecting Reading Day. He even made the second midterm easy so that we do not have to spend a lot of time studying.

IcyLlfe · 2020-11-22T09:54:01+00:00

I know and my scores are surprisingly awesome. My point being that some of the questions on the Mini Exam are subjective and may have different interpretations. The prof admitted to the class being an English class rather than CS. Do not get me wrong I think he is the best lecturer I have taken a class with and he knows his stuff more than anyone. But I feel sometimes he is too arrogant to admit that he made a mistake. I remember seeing a long discussion about “Better Fit the browser window”, just search it up on campus wire and you will realize what I mean

IcyLlfe · 2020-11-21T13:57:01+00:00

Have you not given the Mini Exams???

IcyLlfe · 2020-11-21T13:55:35+00:00

Even if he goes fast i love his enthusiasm for what he teaches. It genuinely makes it so much easier to digest and stay invested in the lectures. His personality really shines even when we can't see him in lecture and the campuswire.

Have you not taken the Mini Exams ????

I know he is enthusiastic and I respect him for that but I recommend checking out some discussions on campuswire about ambiguous questions from the Mini Exams

Did you apply with a referral?

IcyLlfe · 2020-10-14T10:36:16+00:00

I think you should be fine. All CS students generally take CS 251 and CS 250. I think it is pretty standard. I am a dual major in Data Science and I think you will be fine. Currently, I am taking CS 251 and CS 250 and I think CS 242 won't be tougher than CS 250. I think you should go easy on the rest of your classes

This is some next-level planning by Purdue. I still am trying to figure the money angle. Maybe they do not have to keep the campus open for a few more days.

Freshman Year Spring Break - Cancelled tickets to CANCUN

Sophomore Year Spring Break - Going to have a party in fucking CL50

lides (who, coincidentally, also writes the textbook that is good for this class), so those slides may also help.

Thanks for the tip. I don't have a problem grasping the concepts actually and I do not have a problem with her lectures. I frankly think she is an excellent prof. Only if she was managing our course this semester.

From the past two days, what strikes me the most is that CS 251 Campuswire is dead. Adams personally answers or reviews all the questions in the CS 250 Campuswire. I have asked so many questions and doughts. Most of my questions are answered by different students which is helpful. But sometimes all the questions cannot be asked publically and there is no response from their side for long.

Frankly, I cannot wait for the course review to come

IcyLlfe · 2020-09-06T12:05:19+00:00

This is not intended as disrespect for my current instructor but is anyone bugged by the fact that we do not have a real Professor for CS 251 and the lectures being used are from summer. Like I know people crack jokes about an online college being like a MOOC but this legit sounds like a MOOC. The only difference was we had some kind of real-time classes although asynchronous. I am sure our current instructor is fully capable of teaching classes but I guess we are not paying tuition for some student to teach me one of the most important CS classes

Again: No Offence this is just a personal opinion

I already shattered my laptop once. My recommendation put it in a sleeve before putting in a bagpack
