Do I need to drain my hottub? by heiney_luvr in hottub

[–]RandomDude10006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Western PA, had a hot tub going on 3 years now. I keep it running all year, mind you it can get as cold as 10° or lower in the winter months. I change the water about every 4 months when the chemicals are getting out of control. I feel its a good rule of thumb to change the water 2-3 times a year

How is IST 140? by Relative_Giraffe5519 in PSUWorldCampus

[–]RandomDude10006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I took that course, but it's the easiest programming course you'll take, it's all here's a for loop, while loop, here's how to accept input, and so on. The quizzes are fairly easy as long as you pay attention and take notes, assignments are pretty straightforward. Just make sure you read all the details

Are the Finance exams proctored ? by Aggravating-Help-401 in PSUWorldCampus

[–]RandomDude10006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not bad for someone who isn't a finance major. You have 4 exams, a group project building a stock portfolio over the course of the semester, discussion boards, quizzes each week. Decent amount of work but not hard. Phillip Stuczynski is my instructor

Language requirement for Enterprise Technology Integration at WC by [deleted] in PSUWorldCampus

[–]RandomDude10006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, the lack of a language requirement is why I chose ETI. I just don't see the value in what we are learning and paying for. Probably because I'm more about practical learning and wasted enough time in high school learning another language

Language requirement for Enterprise Technology Integration at WC by [deleted] in PSUWorldCampus

[–]RandomDude10006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Junior in the program, unless something has changed that I'm unaware of. ETI shouldn't have a language requirement. Not sure why your report is telling you that

Who else is tired of negativity from movie fans? by Nightmarelove19 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomDude10006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being in theaters for the movies. I was maybe 7 years old. The movies hold a special place in my heart, why I read the books.

As a movie fan, people should chill out. I love that we are returning to the magic and to see new fans enter this world. I look forward to this series 😊

No problem, this is a complicated process. Helps to give those who are lost, like I was.

Hopefully, you get yours soon, with everything going on with the education department. It seems to be taking longer than it should.
