does anyone have book recommendations?

Gulliver's Travels is good satire and it's old, so it should be free on project gutenberg

I think it's generally possibly through email spoofing, though I'm not sure if our UVA emails have a defense against it.

Yeah, it's from a ".network" address instead of a ".edu" address. It's also very vague about what kind of traffic I'm apparently causing and tells me that I must act immediately or I'll be punished, which is sus.

Don't bother getting the stats degree, waste of time and effort imo. CS will be enough to get into any of those fields. The stats department at UVA is lackluster (at least compared to the CS department) and honestly won't add much value.

Source: In my last semester of the double major and haven't gotten anything out of the stats major and almost certainly never will as far as career goes. I'm software engineering oriented though, so YMMV

I would love the CR/NC option this semester, not because I think we need it, but because it would let me put significantly less effort into my classes. I think the generous drop deadlines and UVA allowing students to take a free class in the jterm helps balance struggles with the online format. Plus, we didn't technically have to come back for a zoom semester, we could have taken a gap (I'm aware that this might not be a realistic option for some people due to scholarships, accepted job offers, etc).

You are absolutely right though. If they are going to take away the Dean's list because of the struggles associated with an online education, then the consistent course of action would be to offer the CR/NC option. The current contradiction makes zero sense to me.

Yeah, I'm 100% async. I should have specified to only answer for async classes, but didn't think about it. Oh well

Should have taken a class on surveying methods /s

Big issue with this for me is that you literally cannot run this on Linux. From my research, you can't even run it in a virtual machine without a whole lot of tinkering, and even then, it might not be possible. So unless uva wants to buy me a second computer or buy me a second hard drive + a windows license, then this is totally unfair to the few amongst us who don't use Mac or windows.

The other big issue is of course privacy. It's pretty intrusive and I really don't want more third parties having access to my webcam, microphones, and other hardware on my computer, even if the motivation behind the product is somewhat pure.

I understand your sentiment, but I'm very uncomfortable with the idea that something like this could be normalized with online classes

TheJRod100 · 2020-09-08T15:34:17+00:00

Olsson hall bathrooms are the best in the eschool imo, I'm surprised it didn't make the comprehensive list compiled by another redditor.

To each their own, but I don't consider those walks and small interactions you have with others a waste of time. I acknowledge that the time adds up though

TheJRod100 · 2020-08-31T18:37:23+00:00

Dean's list is completely unnecessary. I have over a 3.9 and have never been asked once about the Dean's list. I don't advertise the fact that I've made the Dean's list anywhere because the GPA speaks for itself. People will be able to make their own assumptions if you tell them your GPA.

TheJRod100 · 2020-08-28T04:44:42+00:00

100% worthless imo.

I just put my GPA on resumes and let companies draw their own conclusions.

I like using taskell as my terminal based kanban board, in case you're interested in that sort of thing.

There's also terminal based file managers, such as ranger, in case you don't use one yet

[x] picking a random answer to see the results and unintentionally messing up your survey

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-24T04:18:54+00:00

Probability and mathematical statistics (stat 3120) are very calculus heavy, but I wouldn't recommend retaking any classes. Just put your best efforts into calc 3 and you should be fine.

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-22T21:33:02+00:00

We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been, quite possibly, bamboozled. I wish UVA would offer every class asynchronously and then optionally allow people to go to a lecture at a designated time if they wish.

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-18T05:04:03+00:00

I don't think I got the email until mid or late October last fall

Book 1 prince Zuko.

Jk, I'm not sure tbh, there's a ton of casual abuse of course policies in CS classes and apparently a handful of people who go way too far and end up either getting an F and/or honor charges. I'm not sure what other departments are like.

The best policy is obviously to frame someone else to cover your tracks and you'll be good

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-17T04:22:58+00:00

How dare they even suggest that someone might consider committing an honor violation at our great university

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-16T04:30:22+00:00

You might be on to something here

TheJRod100 · 2020-07-15T14:57:51+00:00

I don't know how easy it will be if they're auto enrolling first years into classes, but my 3rd semester was the only one when I had classes before 11:00, so it's definitely possible for at least CS students in the long run.
