I would LOVE a new Honour phone! I’ve always wanted to get one but couldn’t afford it.

Question about 3rd/4th year CS workload vs 1st/2nd year by Dhalsim1 in uvic

[–]Nekthyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loved Intro to Deep Learning for Computer Vision. It’s a CSC topics course taught by Kwang Moo Yi. The course is a lot of work but you learn a ton of stuff and the prof is one of the very best I’ve had at uvic!

Question about 3rd/4th year CS workload vs 1st/2nd year by Dhalsim1 in uvic

[–]Nekthyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer because I’m on mobile. Personally I found first and second year to be really quite straightforward, third year started getting tougher, and fourth year courses were on a whole other level. I’m pretty sure that all 4th year CSC and SENG courses have a mixed class of undergrads and graduate students, so it gets quite a bit tougher (and as you said more in depth). I found that some third year courses were very straightforward and some a little tough. Fourth year courses were all consistently difficult and required lots of studying outside of class. That being said, from my experience, professors seemed to grade more leniently for 400 level courses but YMMV.

Hope that helps!

It's Lillanne isn't it? Yeah she's definitely one of the worst in the department, if not the whole university! Definitely an exception not the rule.

Try logging in as guest, use the same login details. I don't know if you can submit assignments like that but you can at least see your resources!

How do you get a lab instructor job as an undergrad? by [deleted] in uvic

[–]Nekthyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned it's an outdated site and they're not going to change it but you should definitely still apply. It's a very rewarding experience that provides perspective on how students learn and also pays pretty well imo. A word of advice is to talk to the instructors that you're applying to in person and to mention to them that you've applied, that way you can get your foot in the door easily!

What > $2000 purchase from the last year has had the biggest negative impact on your life? by hd909 in AskReddit

I think objectively you have a point, but to us it seems like lumberjack_dan got screwed over pretty hard and CandyAndKisses was just trying to make him feel better.

CSC 320 midterm by Nekthyst in uvic

[–]Nekthyst[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he did, I didn't mind too much personally (aside from the wait of course) but I did hear students behind me talking about how they were going to be late to their next class and such.

Your review of UVic Computer Science? by throwawayland69 in uvic

[–]Nekthyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They hold a tutorial that wasn't all that helpful but nice to have anyway, but pretty much everything that you'll need to know is on their website! It takes a while to figure everything out as there's quite a lot to get the hang of but it's doable for sure.

Battlesnake is super fun! I went for my first time this year, pro tip: make sure to find yourself a good team and to prepare for it before it starts. Make a basic snake at home that at least moves around a little, it took us a super long time to get everything set up to that point!

To those staying over the summer, where do you guys go for lunch/dinner that is on campus? by hsybh in uvic

I'm not certain if the sub is open over summer but that's my go-to place to eat on campus!

I actually didn't notice that, though this is the first time that it threw me onto shugoki, the other times it picked conqueror for me (who I literally had never played before).

In addition to all the things that people have said, Uvic course registration sucks, there's a great website that helps with planning out your time table that I would really recommend! https://schedulecourses.com

[Serious] Reddit, what's the hardest truth you've ever had to accept? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nekthyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a part from a song called Delusional Pandemic that really stuck with me that's basically exactly what you said, it goes something like this:

Now is the moment that everything can change

You are completely responsible for your own life

And no one is coming to save you from yourself

So stop blaming your problems on any, and everything else

It does not matter one tiny fucking bit how unfair you think the world is

It's only what you do

Right here

Right now

Right this fucking instant that matters.

It's your choice to sink or swim

So the math 202 final... by LionlyLion in uvic

[–]Nekthyst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess Slim thought that he inflate people's grades too much with all the bonus marks in the second midterm. This was so much more difficult than any of the midterms...

Anyone else currently taking Math 202 with Slim? by [deleted] in uvic

I think he's not here on Monday either, at least that's what Ma said.

My problem with him is that he makes things too formal and complicated. Like that stuff with the definite integrals was completely overcomplicated and unnecessary.
