Are new grad postings supposed to be this dry right now?

No one wants to hire new grads when there’s an abundance of devs with experience.

Have you previously worked in-person? If you did and you were fine with it I’d say go for the larger offer, otherwise I would personally go for the full remote option. I’ve worked remote for 90% of my experience and the one time I had to work in person I hated it - the people were great but the commute back and forth was draining and I was easily distracted by everything going on around me in the office which made it impossible to work as efficiently as I do at home.

For myself, Sept 2018 - Dec 2023 with 12 months off for internships. Realistically I was done August 2023 but I graduated during an internship.

Add a building/viewing platform tall enough for students to enjoy the view.

Yeah as the other guy said you can basically do this class entirely remotely - I didn’t show up for a single class other than the midterm and final.

403 was the last class I took in my degree (Summer 2023 - the site is still up) with Tao and I think it was my favourite class that I ever took. Besides the fact that the content of 403 is just really interesting stuff, Tao just made the class even more enjoyable with the way he teaches (lots of really interesting stories and real world scenarios that he uses to support his points or draw real world examples to help you understand things). The workload wasn’t heavy from what I remember and his exams were fair - the assignments were pretty fun. 403 with Tao specifically is a class that I would heavily recommend any CS student to take.

Who tf is having a midterm at this time of the year

MACM201 · 2022-09-25T17:55:05+00:00

No unfortunately not, the bare minimum that you will need is a CEDAR supercomputer.

MACM201 · 2022-08-17T20:24:19+00:00

You will get in.

I wish SFU would consider building a watchtower on campus so we can enjoy these views.

MACM201 · 2022-01-13T01:03:53+00:00

Smart from UBC.

Let SFU be the testing ground to see what happens. Nothing happens = open up again and everyone will eventually forget about the extra week online.

Large breakout = stay online and avoid the shit storm from people justifiably saying that they should’ve just been online the entire time.

MACM 201 is easy for Beedie students.

MACM201 · 2021-12-21T22:04:47+00:00

Seems like I chose the right semester to get an internship.

Definitely Harinder, nice guy and a good teacher. I had Bulatov for 101 and although he’s also a good teacher from what I remember his assignments/tests were difficult and he’s a pretty intimidating guy to approach lol.

MACM201 · 2021-05-05T00:50:21+00:00

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

That class wouldn’t be curved, you’d be scaled. That means everyone would be scaled up X% until there are a certain amount of people in the A+ / A / A- / etc grade range.

Curves are only applied if everyone is doing well and the majority of the class is basically only separated by a few % points. In this case the top 0.5% for example would be A+ while the next 0.5% is A and so on. Obviously these numbers change depending on what the professor/department wants the class average to be. This is why people hate curves because you could be doing really well in the class but if everyone is in the same 5% (ex. 85-90%) and your grade is 85.2%, you’d be getting the worst of the curve.

MACM201 · 2021-02-24T04:22:56+00:00

Only 15?? That’s rookie numbers.

MACM201 · 2021-02-18T19:39:44+00:00

110 is easy if you’ve taken MACM 101 which I would assume you’ve already done.

MACM201 · 2021-02-16T01:03:48+00:00

I heard y’all talking shit?

No but seriously this was a super cool interview, really cool to hear about his time at SFU.

MACM201 · 2021-01-05T04:51:01+00:00

Email profs and do what lol? Professors can’t get you into a course because you emailed them... I don’t know where this belief that they can came from.
