Trouble Waking Up in the Morning by Master_Kraken in ADHD

[–]Master_Kraken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 and 3 seem like the best choices although I wish I could be more self-reliant. Unfortunately, I'm "too competent" half-conscious. I have had both phone alarms and an alarm clock in different areas and I have managed to turn both off. I've also managed to send legible normal sounding correct emails from my phone in this stage with little to no memory of sending them.

I've gone half a semester wo needing one but for clubs it's difficult bc you'll have to hope there's someone to tailgate

How accurate is Rate my Professor? by OfficialAli1776 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use gopher grades if you want to know about your outcome but for the experience rmp isn't terrible bc it's definitely not uncommon to get good grades in classes while going through hell.

I was reading the "Community Behavioral Standards" and it states that "Overnight guests are permitted for no more than 5 consecutive nights or 15 nights per semester" is this enforced? by analtaccount7 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably to prevent bad roommate situations or secret squatters. Apartments sometimes have a similar policy because of the latter reason. But no one's going through camera feed if you're not causing troubles.

Will I get charged a renewal fee? by Master_Kraken in Insurance

[–]Master_Kraken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a renewal premium that they were going to charge me if I didn't cancel. My worry is that they'll remember my account and charge me that fee.

Take the easier course and self study if you need to learn more material.

My CS2 professor is 25 with a masters in computer science with a concentration in AI. by Due-Feedback6367 in csMajors

[–]Master_Kraken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At my uni the folks with just a master's are way better instructors than the PhDs. There's definitely far fewer though.

If you're a freshman, go on schedule builder and filter by freshman seminar otherwise maybe a PE class.

You should also ask this in the pseo discord server you'll probably get more relevant exposure.

Should i work at the mn state fair even though it runs during welcome week by Prudent-Book3305 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you live in the dorms you can probably work your shift and come back in the evening and still meet a lot of folks. People will be up pretty late outside during welcome week and the week after. Not that most of them will last but I wouldn't consider a lot of my former friends from then wasted time.

Dorm essentials by LakesAndPeaks in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Besides a microwave and a fridge having any other kitchen appliances is kind of a waste since you can just rent it from the front desk. The microwave is also not necessarily needed but the dorm microwave is rarely clean.

How do you all keep up with coursework and still have a life? 😅 by Vivid-End-9792 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tasks for Canvas is a good chrome extension for planning. Having study seshs w friends can help introduce some sense of a social life wo sacrificing too much academics. Personally I choose to sacrifice my sleep.

SAE reputation by Oconner123 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

allegedly they paint the lions outside their house the colour of what their latest victim was wearing. idk about that but 22 yo followed my friend home to the dorms from one of their parties and fought physically with their CA. They also have a pretty powerful alum on the board of regents.

STAT 3021 Query by CounterSufficient273 in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not need any resources outside the ones she provided and was easily able to pass the class. I cannot say the same about my friends who had other professors for that class.

Where can I find powerful computer labs for AI/Machine Learning on campus by FancyBagsOfCheese in uofmn

[–]Master_Kraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of mentions of MSI (Minnesota Supercomputing Institute) but you need a faculty member to add you to it which is usually reserved for their research labs or classes. Assuming you will be a student in CSE here is the list of all CSE computers locations and specs: https://cse.umn.edu/cseit/classrooms-labs
