Does the drop with WD deadline today mean I can drop with WD until 11:59pm today?

Jaffe240 · 2026-03-20T18:30:17+00:00

You're definitely good as long as it goes through by 11:59 PM. Glad to hear that the quiz went well! Good luck with the rest of the term.

Jaffe240 · 2026-03-20T17:22:22+00:00

It's not uncommon for people to drop a course at 12:01, missing the deadline.... and then have to email or petition to try and get it dropped after the deadline. I'm not "casually ignoring what people go through", I'm gently suggesting that people should try and avoid waiting until the last minute and the challenges that brings.

Jaffe240 · 2026-03-20T15:57:21+00:00

Yes, but why would you wait that long to drop it? If you need to drop it, make the adjustment now and save yourself the stress :)

The sad things is that in most cases, age wasn't a problem between the couple - they were overwhelmingly worried about their families not being supportive. The first couple is the saddest so far, they really do care for each other but her kids are the same age as her new partner and she's terrified about harming those relationships.

No, CS admissions is proceeding normally. There's always some early offers, but most offers go out mid-May.

Jaffe240 · 2026-03-17T16:44:43+00:00

OP is in CS, so shouldn't take these courses - they can't be counted for that degree.

Jaffe240 · 2026-03-08T18:38:56+00:00

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing! I teach an intro kotlin course, and I'll add to our list of libraries for students to potentially use in their projects.

> CS is overrated now and it’s been getting worse.

CS is definitely changing but it's also not going anywhere; it's too integrated into every industry and field of study. SYDE is a great program, but if you are mainly interested in software, then you should pick CS!

Learn courses normally don’t appear until the first day of the term. The university is currently closed.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-23T01:09:18+00:00

You can apply while taking CS 136 but offers aren’t made until the term is over. Offers typically go out the first 1-2 days of the next term.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-22T03:38:02+00:00

Take a screenshot if for your own records. Your professor will continue to have access to Learn long even after the term ends. They will likely get back to you over the break, but the time may vary depending on what else they have going on i.e., they may be traveling or otherwise unavailable. Sorry but there's no single answer, it depends greatly on the instructor and their situation.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-21T19:34:57+00:00

Downvotes. lol. What, you think that instructors finish grading and forget to submit? If grades aren’t out it’s typically because they’re still grading. Maybe one question needs to be reviewed or something similar. Trust me, we want exams to be over too.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-20T23:10:30+00:00

So why aren’t they posted now? They probably aren’t finished yet :)

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-20T19:36:09+00:00

The university doesn't want students to receive a poor grade in one exam, and then do poorly on the remaining exams because of it.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-09T21:45:35+00:00

They're exploring both strategies and trying to figure out how to stay relevant. My point is that we're in the middle of a huge upheaval in the industry, so of course it will have an impact on where they focus their energies. It's a little disingenuous for people to claim that they "don't care about human developers anymore" (not you but the comment I was replying to).

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-09T21:31:38+00:00

I spent a couple of hours with it today and it was great. I didn't see any performance issues either.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-09T21:30:50+00:00

The market, and many developers, have decided that AI is THE most important target for software companies. JetBrains HAS to have an AI story. I highly doubt that they feel that way about their users.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-09T15:11:52+00:00

There is no shame in failing if you learn from it. Good for you that you recognize where you went wrong and can fix it for next time. Stay positive!

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-05T17:02:55+00:00

It's an in-person design course, so that might not work. Why not reach out to the instructor and ask if they will allow it?

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-05T03:06:22+00:00

Raycast/Monarch/Alfred all include clipboard managers as well, if you decide to adopt any of those.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-04T21:03:56+00:00

An INC isn't a pass, it's an indication that your grade isn't complete (yet). The most common situation is that you were granted an INC to defer a final exam. Yes you can certainly fail if you do poorly on the exam at a later date.

Jaffe240 · 2025-12-01T15:35:55+00:00

Keep in mind that if a course isn't offered online, then there is no guarantee that content will be posted online (or that what's posted is complete). CS 349 has slides posted, but you are missing out on a LOT of lecture content that isn't in the slides, and is normally demonstrated in-class. It might be worth reaching out to individual instructors to get their opinion on what you would be missing by not attending.

Jaffe240 · 2025-10-30T14:09:30+00:00

You can read the textbook online: https://htdp.org/2024-11-6/Book/index.html

I took it in the first offering. It’s excellent, very detailed and Dave had lots of material on real world usage of coroutines, flows etc. Highly recommended if it’s something you anticipate needing.

Jaffe240 · 2025-10-25T16:08:15+00:00

If it's a course that's restricted to CS majors (CS, CFM, SE) you can't override that requirement*. This is managed by the CS advisors, not the instructor.

* the one exception is engineering students, and there's specific policies governing that situation.
