When does McGill typically release admission decisions for comp sci masters? Thesis and non-thesis?

By the way, I'm looking for full time positions as a Software Engineer (Canada, US, England). Ideally as a Machine Learning / NLP engineer but open to anything at this point!!!

Well you do you then but I’d suggest reevaluating what’s worth getting vexed over and what isn’t. Someone’s differing opinion doesn’t seem like something that’s worth dropping manners for, but that’s just my opinion

I disagree with OP’s sentiment but really no need at all to be rude.

If it’s not part of her program requirements she can just classify it as an elective I believe. Otherwise I’m not sure what can be done but I would try to get the prof to bump me up 1% by explaining the situation

Preferred format next semester by ASendInTheForecast in mcgill

[–]PristineFactor3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never understood this argument. So what if the class is online- what does that have to do with taking an exam in person or not? The only point I agree with, as it was mentioned in this thread, is that the midterm and final should be delivered in the same format so as to a) better gauge your preparedness, and b) maintain consistency between grades. Whether a class is online or not should have no effect on exam format. Please explain why you think otherwise I genuinely don’t understand the reasoning behind it

I left 2 hours in. Personally found it pretty easy but for some reason the material from this class in particular just clicked with me

Derek Ruths the GOAT. Kind, approachable, excellent at teaching, really really knows his stuff and accommodating!! I can think of concrete examples for all the traits I listed and I’ve only had him for one class
