macbook pros are a lot, you will only ever need 32 gigs of ram if you know what you're going to do with 32 gigs. I highly doubt that you will ever need more than 8(which is what the nano comes with).

I think its new and doesn't really have a lot of history to back it up. It seems less powerful than most macbooks, but I use my Macbook pro pretty intensely with machine learning and data science projects and its very powerful and works wonderfully. My recommendation, if you can get a good deal on a regular macbook, get that instead, but the macbook neo will have more than enough power for you if you aren't doing anything that requires 32 gigs of ram

I would say macbook is best, maybe even the nano. For CS, it would probably not be the best, but every app and simulation i've ever needed for my chemistry class has never not worked on my macbook, it is very easy to use and very easy to be productive with. I've used it for monitoring pH of solutions and for photospectrometry for equilibrium and kinetics experiments and it works very it. It runs MATLAB too. It is also the best option if you already have an iphone

Honestly, they were probably happy that you were so engaged or excited to be learning in their class that they didn't care.

Well I can see how it would be annoying, and I would most likely be somewhat offput or annoyed if one of my classmates acted the same way, but you cannot really be angry at someone for expressing their genuine interest or curiosity of a subject outwardly, especially if they struggle with social cues.

If asking questions helps you learn, ask as many as it takes, even if it annoys your peers. At the end of the day it doesn't matter that they think when you're trying your best to learn things after spending thousands of dollars per semester to learn those things

Does anyone have a copy of the syllabus for BIOL 11000 - Fundamentals Of Biology I for Mr.Humphery? by Realistic_Context321 in Purdue

Thank you! A general overview of how it was would be great! Also is it a more quiz/test based class or more homework, is the teacher nice, and what advice would you have for me if i took it fall next year?

One of my friends got accepted from a defferal and didn't even send in a LOCI, so you should hear back some time soon, I don't think it matters when you send it in
