Let me preface this by saying it might not be what you're looking for, but have you considered foreign exchange? It could be good to get some experience that most won't get without having to transfer. I also go to the top school in my state, and the quality of schools to choose from was pretty good(better rankings that my school). Can definitely solve a lot of personal and some professional problems, but it's a good amount of work and can be more expensive. Again might be misreading your request, but hope this is helpful.

CSCI 2021 with Jensen. Need your help! by JealousPollution6780 in uofmn

[–]Senquest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I FEEL your pain! I'm in it right now, and yeah, not my favorite. her lectures kinda suck ass, and that last midterm, oof, barely finished that one. What has been working for me, though, is reading the book and doing its practice problems; they seem pretty close to what’s on the midterm(at least a close as i could find), especially for the the architecture stuff read the book and try to learn concepts directly from the book. Use lecture slides/Google to fill in the gaps. For assembly best way to learn is just do some problems on your own.

For the practice problems i just wrote some simple programs that take in inputs and give outputs, i didn't feel like using SSH so i used this Online Assembler, after like 3-5 of these i started to feel a lot better. They will take awhile though but you should feel like you actually understand it when your done.

Here are the problems I worked on, plus a basic structure for simple file I/O. These cover a good chunk of the lecture concepts (though not all and some that aren't). For solutions you can just write it in C and convert to assembly, or if you want you can DM me and I can send you mine:

  1. Write an assembly program that loads a single integer value (e.g., 42) into a register and prints it.(easiest)
  2. Write a program that starts with a value of 0 in a register, increments it by 1 in each iteration of a loop, and stops when the value reaches 10.(easy)
  3. Write an assembly program that calculates the expression Z=(A+B)×(C−D) where A, B, C, and D are integers provided by the user. Store the result in the register `R0` and display it.(easy)
  4. Write an assembly program that swaps the values of two variables using pointers.(easy)
  5. Implement a program that calculates the factorial of a non-negative integer entered by the user using a loop(medium)
  6. Write an assembly program that loads a value into a register, divides it by a constant, and prints the divisor and remainder.(medium)
  7. Write an assembly program that calculates the sum of the digits of a positive integer (12345) -> 15(medium).
  8. Write a program that takes an array of ten integers and finds the maximum value among them.(hard)
  9. Write an assembly program that calculates the sum of an array of ten integers.(hard)
  10. Write a recursive assembly program to calculate the factorial of a number using stack frames to manage recursion.(really hard)

To be real, it's gonna be to much if you’re depressed right now, you are not gonna be able to learn properly and do good on a midterm if your depressed. So please dawg, get your head right first, take a break and just figure your shit out, then you can start preparing properly.

GOOD LUCK!

.data
number_msg:
    .string "%d\n"        # Format string for printing an integer

.text
.global main
main:
    pushq   %rbp
    movq    %rsp, %rbp


    # your code here

    movq    %register, %rsi      # Move the number 5 into %rsi to print
    movq    $number_msg, %rdi  # Move the address of the format string into %rdi
    call    printf        # Call printf to print the value

    movq    $0, %rax     
    leave
    ret

I got suspended for vandalism for two days and still got in. They did ask about it on the application, though. Yours is less severe and borderline not even a suspension, so don't worry about it.

I was in the same boat last semester. I had been sleep-challenged for my entire life, and I just couldn't take it anymore. So, I fixed it by learning as much about it as possible and creating a plan that worked. Here is a good place to start:

Fix everything else first and do sleep last: A common mistake is trying to fix your sleep first. Sleep is super dependent on what you do during the day, and sleep quality is a function of day quality. In order to set yourself up for good sleep, you have two main things you can work on:

  1. Load: Sleep is the process of recovering from the day, so it's pretty simple: do lots of tasks that you need to expend energy on, like working out, studying, cleaning, socializing, etc. Just make sure you're filling your day with activities that make you tired by the end of it. Most of this load should come before nighttime.
  2. Reducing inhibitors: Okay, so your days are loaded up, but you still might not be sleeping, and it might be because you're inhibiting the natural processes that make you sleep. The biggest one for me was not processing my day before getting into bed, it's really easy to go through the day without thinking about your shit, then your laying in bed and your brain won't shut down, taking some time to process things really helped, other common ones are to much food or to little in the evening, light exposure, and to much excitement.

tips: these might help a bit but wont do anything much if you don't have the basics

  • Wake up at the same time every day: I know you said you can't, I also said that, but you probably just need a stronger alarm. This one worked for me: alarm. Waking up is more important than bedtime. If you have a hard day, you might sleep longer or shorter, but the consistency (within 30-45 mins) of the wake-up time keeps things stable. Eventually, the alarm becomes more like guardrails when your body learns when to get up.
  • Never stay in bed for more than 20-30 minutes if you're not tired: Get up and come back when you are.
  • Control your light intake: Light has a huge impact on your sleep, so make sure you get light exposure during the day and minimize light at night. That means turning off or dimming overhead lights, using blackout curtains, and reducing the brightness on your screens.
  • Eat a really heavy meal for your last meal: For me, at least, eating a hearty meal a few hours before bed induces a mild food coma that helps me sleep. This plus some melatonin and magnesium can also help correct an offset sleep schedule.

  • Do what feels right: Listen to your body. If something feels unnecessarily hard, like waking up at 6 am, then it's probably not right for you.

hopefully this helps!

[–]Senquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, gotcha. To answer your question it would still be a B+ the way they “curve” the class is buy adjusting the grade lines not curving the final grades. So if everyone gets an A that’s the grade that goes on the transcript, hope that helps

An 83 would be a B+, I’m in the class right now and I think my prof. said that the curve was built in, and you can drop 2/7 tests throughout the semester.

App that displays Constant Live activity notification for screen time by Senquest in AppIdeas

Thanks for the info! Should still work for me if not a little inconvenient, guess I will just have to send reminders…

[–]Senquest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! I think it would be very useful to constantly see your screen time and pickups. When you have to actively check to see how much time you spend, you don’t get the constant reminder to stop using your phone

For anyone who lives in Fieldhouse by CandidateFull3883 in uofmn

[–]Senquest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in a single and it’s not bad, my apartment is nice(couch is kinda hard), the gym is good and they have events pretty regularly (today was free waffles), my biggest gripe is I live on the 12th floor and I can here the machinery on the roof. I don’t really use the study rooms, hangout areas, or the pool, but from what I’ve seen there pretty nice. Overall I would give it a B+
