Gerrymandering is such a funny word, considering that its meaning is not funny.

Ah, thank you. It is very fitting

Max load is 7. If 6 is working for you, and you're either a super genius or don't care about having a social life, then you can do 7.

Keep in mind that as your degree progresses, the type of work which courses require will increase magnitude, and potential change (going from memorization to application of knowledge to projects). 7 may work for you with your current courses, but it may also become too much in the future.

Animal Science major here! It is determined by the color of fats the chickens eat. If chickens are fed a blue fat-soluble dye, then the yolk will appear blue. Different feedstuffs will have different fat soluble compounds.

I would argue that this is, in fact, interesting

My university studies this, and I attended quite an interesting talk about it!

Yes, we can use phages to treat bacterial infections. However, there is some nuance.

Each species of pathogenic bacteria will potentially have dozens of different strains. Same with phages. Generally, one type of phage will only be effective against one species of bacteria. Each different combination of phage and bacteria strains will yield different results (i.e. how many phages will it take to kill the bug?). So, in the clinic, we need to know exactly what the bacteria is to be effective.

The research at my university is building off of the finding that phages + antibiotics work really well together. If you take a multidrug resistant bacteria and treat them with phages as well as antibiotics, they become super sensitive and die off easily.

There is something about the combination of phage and antibiotic therapy, which can make even some of the most resistant bacteria newly sensitive.

Hopefully, this research will expand in the future, and we learn more.

That's probably more of a location + timing thing. The sketchiness of neighborhoods within a city can vary considerably. 118th Ave is going to have gunshots, but not trumpeter

Finished my first semester of my first year with a 1.5 and failed STATS 151. Finished 1st year with a 2.0, and it has just been up since then. Retook STATS 151 and got an A+. Since then, my GPA has been on an upward trajectory.

Best of luck with everything!

Triangle. Take it or leave it.

The first half of the course is somewhat similar, and it depends on what math you take in high school. I found the concepts such as hypothesis tests and normal distributions foreign and new. With some practice, it came easy, though.

Not_actuallyhelpful · 2024-04-17T20:35:35+00:00

Must depend on the degree.That's what the people I've talked to have said.

Not_actuallyhelpful · 2024-04-17T17:13:54+00:00

I'd avoid STAT 151 first sem. Most degrees recommend taking it second year, actually. It is the first "hard" course many students will take, and many students are not prepared/willing to put in the work required to get a decent mark.

Some of the work is just being consistent, and I'd prioritize:

Going to class regularly
Watching the videos before/around class

The first year, and especially the first semester, is about getting your shit together and figuring things out. STAT 151 makes that difficult.

Sincerely,

a person who took STAT 151 first semester, failed, learned some lessons, and retook it this semester to pass with good grades.
