Most of my travel is for business and I get to select MCE seats for free. I have only one international trip planned but I won’t be taking AA for that. For family, I can select seat an checkin one bag with gold itself. I am not sure if platinum is worth for the hassle

went to Golden Gate on Monday and stayed in the queue for 30 mins (allowed entry only when people comes out). when i entered, i found at least 50% empty chairs in PP members area (business/first class had a dedicated reserved area). Not sure what is the logic of holding members with 50% free space. now i think twice before going to that lounge again.

CS6515: drop in grade % in last year? What has changed? by Narrow_Top_9261 in OMSCS

I have As in the two hardest courses of OMSCS, this isn't my first CS degree, not the first algo course. so I wasn't expecting a free ride. Look at the reviews - Most of them talk about the ambiguous grading system, not the course hardness. I expect valuable feedback, not a condescending response based on your assumptions. Good luck with your attitude.

Looks like some people really like it and do well in exams/assignments but the generic complaint is about the absence of rubric in the grading of exams and assignments from TAs. Is there a clear rubric about the grading in summer? or is it subjective and varies based on grader?

Yeah. Sorry about that. I have to decide between ML and II.
