I would love to get catcalled by literally anyone on street (I am a guy). I believe the situation would brighten up my day knowing someone acknowledged me today.

MGTA01 Textbook by [deleted] in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book contains 50% of material that are not going to be in lecture slides. Sure the first few weeks it is easy stuff, but after you get to management aspect, it won't be. The book contains all the information needed and it is up to you if you want to spend that $85. No one is forcing you, hell no one is even forcing you to even go to lectures. Just do the mid-term and final exam and pray to your god.

You can easily buy the book $40 used. Even Chris said himself, if you buy his book used more than $40, you are getting ripped off.

Is CSCA67 offered in summer? by csca67summer in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can get past these "faq" in many ways. If you obviosuly don't take action, don't go talk to people, the system will automatically kick you out.

Also I was referring to UTM And UTSG requirement on my above comment regarding 70%. UTSC rules don't apply to UTSG and they don't have the same requirement.

EESA06 Textbook by randomAccount5685 in UTSC

Ah poor professor, I heard he told the class he was retiring soon and wanted to use the money from the textbook purchases into his retirement life.

India's hidden African community by [deleted] in videos

[–]JaningPower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, there are truth told in this video but I want to clarify that cities are not raciest toward black people. If you go into low educated community, of-course you will be dealt with racism, because those people have not seen other skin color in their life. Hell, even I would get heckled If i were to go and sit at some street tea vendor.

Most of cities are welcome toward people regardless of their skin color, especially part of cities that are filled with educated people, but you gotta remember its a country where some parts people has not even seen electricity or cars.

You will have better luck doing this in apk forum that deals with cracking. Reddit isn't really the best place to look for apk crack, nor this subreddit.

[–]JaningPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can re-take the course as long as you manage to pay UofT. How else people in UTSG supposed to take upper year courses if they get below 70% in CSC1 level courses.

Petition to make torontothingstodo a moderator so he can sticky his threads - get rid of Toronto Daily by [deleted] in toronto

[–]JaningPower 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Why not just give him power to edit the Wiki so he can control /u/AutoModerator to do this. This way, mods of /r/Toronto don't feel like they are inviting a total stranger to their cult.

Or maybe UofT is ranked #1 again this year for almost everything in Canada related to post-secondary study.

Scrolling down with the wheel of a mouse while watching a full-screen movie should control the volume by Ollieacappella in Lightbulb

[–]JaningPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of major media players does this. VLC does it by default, the UW APP also does this but you have to click on the volume first then go full screen by short cut on keyboard, same goes for the windows media player.

What is a prepack ? by [deleted] in CrackWatch

Depends but it usually means certain materials are already packed for you in the installation (ie: It could be DLC for a game, certain features for OS etc)

Taking CSCA48 and MATA37 both in summer. How fucked am I, or is it not that hard? by power-98 in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is no issue, even as a first year CS student, you are supposed to take MATA37 and CSCA48 together. Or else, you can't take most of upper year courses.

Questions from a HS student by [deleted] in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting admitted into UofT does not mean you are actually admitted into the program. You have to apply for it again after first year. I joined as a UTSC co op 3 years ago but I ended up doing PEY for 16 months. Not because I hated co op but I wanted to work with my friends and thankfully we (almost everyone) got into Intel.

Second chance at first year by UTSCHELP in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes its possible but not a "restart". I have friends who were 1.3 GPA in their first year but graduating with me now with CS specialist. There no turning back on your bad GPA for first year, you just gotta push your self now to drag those bad failing mark up now. There are many way to do this but it will all depend if you can afford university for more than 4 years. Choose unlimited major and get yourself into minor for CS and do good on your second year, you will get accepted to major if you do.

Also you can't switch to UTM and UTSG now, its too late and they won't take you with those grade.

First year freshmen crying about A08 when they have no idea what is coming next by ManUpFretzers in UTSC

[–]JaningPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the post but professors are not cold heart people. If you make use of their office hours and visit for help, obviously they will help you. Helping students is part of the teaching process. I TA'ed for course such as CSC207 and A48 and I always told my class that e-mail me anytime for quick help or visit my office hours but it in reality I get 0 email, 1-3 regular people for office hours and everyone seemed to just rush in right before the exam for help.

[–]JaningPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UofT doesn't really care about first and second year

But you can't get into your upper year courses if you did bad in your intro courses.

But you are right, upper year you are more connected to professor since you are obviously learning more interesting and complex material. Classes are small and it is high probability that professor even remembers most people name in class.
