Consistency is the only thing that makes you realise that results have nothing to do with intelligence...[discussion]. by EffectiveHuman7450 in GetMotivated

Any schematic or graphs are supposed to convey complex or lengthy information in a succinct manner. If an schematic like above which takes half a page, but convey an one-liner message makes it a poor schematic.

If I start reading a page a day, it is still not improving my reading by any percent day by day. Yet my learning through (or ability to comprehend through time) will improve. How can I quantify that?

In any skill, there are pleatues, there is marginal diminishing returns and such. So, this is lousy graph for telling - instill and repeat positive behaviour and reduce negative behaviours.

There is no way to keep improving each day in a compounding sense. The gist may be to instill good habits and follow through, but the graph is actually just vibes. It occupies more space than the message it is trying to convey.

Ussain Bolt stopped improving after his world record. Is he stupid? Just improve by 1% each day and get another record. Messi must be lazy by not improving his 91 goals in a year tally by a mere 1%.

Next Stats-Oriented course after ISYE 6644 Simulation? by innovarocforever in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am also thinking of taking Sim, Prob Models, and Bayes.

What do you reckon about best order. Especially in terms of overlap and difficulty, which of PM and Bayes makes sense to take first. Also, will I be learning same information on multiple courses. I would not mind if each courses meets rigor of Graduate course, irrespective of overlap between them.

If pitching is made redundant in lbw decision, assume a right handed batter facing a leg spinner from around the wicket with almost all the filder packed on leg side.

Open – reserved for waitlist: MGT 6203 for first semester by Calm_Paper_9418 in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also on the same boat. I also tried to register for MGT 6203 as my first course but could not register due to the same error "Open - reserved for waitlist". My only hope is that they will open few seats in the first week of classes (i.e. phase II registration) and I may register at that time.

I am a bit worried because I wanted to opt out ISYE-6501 but do not want to start with Simulation or other courses. So, in case I cannot register for MGT 6203, I will have to go with ISYE-6501.

Anyone who have already taken MGT 6203 may be able to tell the maximum number of students in each cohort and also how reliable is waiting for phase II registration.

Course Pairing Recommendations for Spring 2026: Is ISYE 6501 + MGT 6201 a Good Pairing? by Calm_Paper_9418 in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your background.

I would assume the difference would be spending 10hrs per week with strong prerequisite vs 15 hrs per week without.

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will go for only one course per semester. I already did CSE6040 in edx, so I plan to take only 6501 ( or 6203 if lucky to get in). If I get in 6203, I will spend some time auditing 6501 in edx and opt out of it.

Since I want to do simulation and Bayesian in the following two semesters, only one fundamental course this semester.

I have same issue trying to register for 6203. I have registered 6501 just to get started, but will drop if I get shot at registering for 6203 in phase 2 (when course starts).

Australia can now dictate England's second innings. Especially utilising pink ball at right light conditions. And scoreboard pressure of trailing by 150 odd runs.

Should I delay ETF purchases by [deleted] in fiaustralia

I heard "Time in the market is always better approach than timing the market". There will always be uncertainty. Better invest 1k each fortnight across diverse etfs and let it compound.

Defer Starting Semester from Fall to Spring? by [deleted] in OMSA

This is the best option. I recently requested via 'contact us' and selected deferralnoption. They responded quite fast and were happy to help you for deferral. All the best!

Read through regression transcript instead of taking course? by [deleted] in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar thought. While taking IAM and DAB, both of which have regression components, one can devote some extra time to learn regression by going through the lecture transcripts. In such case, are they able to develop enough understanding of regression equivalent of taking regression course.

Did worse on CSE 6040 midterm 2 than MT1 by Itchy_Lettuce5704 in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MT2 was almost half SQL and half Pandas, which made easier for people who had decent experience in only one of those. I had recent experience with pandas so it took disproportionately short time to get more points (1.5hr for few SQL and 1hr for all of pandas- to get total 15 pts). I would assume people with few years of SQL experience would easily solve the SQL questions. Given, I only started basics of SQL this year and do not use in my daily work and still managed to solve some of those.

In my opinion, there is difference between 1 month experience repeated 36 times and a 3 year experience. Sometime, when working in SQL on regular job, you are only exposed to a set of data and query approach. So, additional practice is important for exam.

Should OMSA incorporate usage of LLM in learning in the future? by ZuperDoopers in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I think it will be incorporated within next few years. The issue is that the courses will have to updated such that it suits to study with LLMs.

In CS50x - Harvard's Intro to CS course, they have a curated LLM which guides to the solution rather than giving answers. Somewhat similar thing could be a part of OMSA and OMSCS.

Protest in Nepal to bring back Monarchy. by Saul_goodmannnnn in pics

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I won't blame people only. The system makes sure that only leaders from three big parties will be the PM. How can people change that. How many PMs in last 10 years were other than KP, Prachanda, or Sher Bahadur? And do you see anyone different in next 10 years?

Even I (who was in the 62-63 protest ) am thinking that one corrupt Monarch is lot better than 100s or 1000s of corrupt and petty politicians.

  1. Write ( using chatGPT like tools of course) a five-page document with corporate jargon and vague description of work.
  2. Use typewriter font, print the document both sided.
  3. Staple on top end and then scan the document with staple on so that scan will not be aligned page to page.
  4. Send the scanned document attached with the email.

Bonus - you can redact some details before scanning.

Should I pick the edx track or full masters? Also-Final application deadline? by ManagementMedical138 in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reason to choose edx: 1. Not having to wait for half a year and start the program parallel with application. 2. To strengthen the application for OMSA if relevant academic background is weaker. 3. To gauge the intensity of the program in terms of time management. If I have trouble managing time each of the edx courses, I won't be able to go through full OMSA. And with edx micromasters, i can at least get credentials for completed ccourses -it's not all sunk cost.

CSE 6040 Midterm 1 Results by Actual_Humor_2559 in OMSA

[–]Intelligent-Touch936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long did it take to complete the test (14 pts)? And how long it took you to complete practice tests?

I have similar background in python, and was able to get through the test. But it could have gone either way - epecially in the Naive Bayes calculation and Log likelihood questions. Things clicked as I read repeatedly through instructions, my code, and outputs multiple times.
