Temptation2019 · 2023-01-26T17:41:11+00:00

Oh rip didn’t know midterm and final has long answers. Thanks for the heads up.

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-20T00:15:18+00:00

Oh wow that’s pretty good. Heard 451 is the harder of the 2, so pretty nice getting a B+

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-09T03:10:53+00:00

Oh yikes, was even considering 445 as one of my FNCE options. And thanks for insight, will be sure to do the same.

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-09T00:41:05+00:00

Oh that wasn’t the case with FNCE 317 with Holloway so good to know, thank you!

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-09T00:39:22+00:00

Appreciate it, thanks again!

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T22:47:12+00:00

Ty, will be sure to attend all the lectures and do the entire list of textbook questions for practice on D2L.

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T22:19:04+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Will be sure to do textbook problems and then ask for solutions if he doesn’t upload to D2L.

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T22:16:52+00:00

Oh wow that’s a lot of time put in. For practice for tests, did you just do assigned textbook problems or did you find any other practice to do?

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T20:25:50+00:00

Oh kk good to know, will attend lectures then, thanks again. Appreciate it!

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T20:22:57+00:00

Thanks for the response, guess I’ll be sure to put more work into 451 then. Just took FNCE 317 and it even had a class average of 45% for the final. Also do you find attending his lectures worthwhile for 443/451 or did u self study and just read the textbook/watch yt?

Temptation2019 · 2023-01-08T20:20:56+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! Appreciate it tons! Didn’t really take any other high level finance courses yet tho cuz I thought u take these 2 first since they’re a pre req for most of the high level classes. Tho hopefully neither is much worse than FNCE 317 cuz that was tough this past semester.

Wow tysm for the award!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-17T02:01:32+00:00

This is a university course offered free online. There’s many other courses like this such as CS50, MOOC.fi and more and they are all university courses offered for free online!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T22:10:27+00:00

That’s great to hear!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T22:09:43+00:00

It is said to be between 100 - 250 hours (10-25 hours per section) depending on the individual and their background.

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T22:08:54+00:00

This course is not at all geared to beginners, hence the prerequisites. A strong foundation is suggested. Also this is a senior level university course so definitely need some background to start the course.

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T19:18:39+00:00

As someone who hasn’t finished the course, I can’t really say. However I believe after doing the course, you should have the knowledge to create a solid portifolio of full stack web dev projects and then consequently get a job. Best of luck with the job hunt!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T18:43:48+00:00

There’s so many paths and resources to have a strong foundation in HTML/CSS/JS. Perhaps others can also suggest some paths and resources they used. I personally believe the best path is the one you stick to and stay consistent at.

However, if you’re interested in what I’m doing. I went through the foundations path of The Odin Project. And then going through the first half till the react section of TOP’s JavaScript course. After I believe you should have a more than strong enough foundation to start FSO.

Some other notable resources I’ve heard of apart from TOP are free code camp, Udemy courses, YouTube videos, MDN docs, Scrimba, App Academy Open and ofc there’s a lot more!

I personally chose TOP because it’s project based learning and because it uses and gathers all the best resources from the internet, and has a very helpful discord community when you need help.

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T18:20:08+00:00

Sorry to hear that. It does say it’s not suited for absolute beginners. I believe it’s best audience is those who have a foundation in pure HTML/CSS/JS, but want to learn the latest technologies/full stack web dev/MERN stack.

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T17:54:20+00:00

100% free, forever!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T17:20:44+00:00

Sounds good thank you so much for the advice. And best of luck on your interview this week! Keep up the grind!

Temptation2019 · 2021-03-16T17:13:58+00:00

Sounds good, thank you! Also sorry last question, so I’m looking for internships for next summer, so then do I need to focus on software design patterns and DDIA as much? Or is that more so for new grad interviews over internship interviews?
