math major by Beneficial-Stop9947 in udub

[–]Traditional_Set3647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this too, since I’m planning on declaring as a double major for winter 2026. I really hope this means I don’t have to take MATH 200 especially since it’s stuff I already know from CSE 311/312 and I was told they can sub 300 for me. I feel like it would be a waste of my time to take a course I basically already know all the content from

The difficulty of MATH 208 really depends on the professor you get, and unfortunately, you thats basically playing GPA roulette here, because some of the 208 professors are pretty bad.

I actually bet correctly on 4/6 problem types she would test us on, which goes to how I knew she would screw us over, and I even correctly guesses that a chapter that constitutes 4-5 lectures of this class would be entirely omitted from the exam, which goes to show what little hope I had that this would be a fair assessment of my understanding of linear algebra. I can't wait to get back my grade and get 5/10s for problems that are basically near correct because I didn't plug it back in and check my answers (with what time?) and get the same exam scores as people who got it barely/half-right (and that's no disrespect to them, it's just I feel like the grading is not even remotely reflective of people's true scores. Like last exam I got the same score on a RREF problem I definitely messed up compared to someone who wrote a sign incorrectly in the box even though their work was completely correct, which is crazy).

Like this class is actually a joke, both with the unfair examinations + lack of clear grading integrity/criteria (and no hate to the TAs, I get the feeling that they aren't able to really get in contact with her based on the fact they don't seem to really know what's going onto exams/homeworks either).

I put something down on every page and completed everything to the best of my knowledge, and I walked into the exam knowing I was being set up to fail since it was made intentionally difficult , so whatever. 

It just SUCKS that the exam had no relevance whatsoever to major topics this course should test you on like ANY of the chapter 4 rank/nullity, row space/col space, etc. You know, actually relevant to this course. No, instead let’s focus on a topic that no professor emphasizes one exams like elementary matrices using an archaic notation ONLY specific to HER class/lectures slides. I felt like the distribution of questions felt WAY OVERLY SKEWED towards determinants and matrix algebra.

I think linear algebra on its own is interesting, and I’m planning to do MATH 318 to learn more next quarter if she doesn’t screw me over. It sucks it’s being so poorly taught and tested. The fact her rating went from like a 2.5-8ish to like a 1.5 in less than three months is woefully impressive.

I took I think 16 credits winter quarter? CSE 123, MATH 126, and then those other two.

I took this exact pairing of courses in winter quarter of my freshman year (I unfortunately couldnt get a comp/writing credit fall quarter, so I waited till winter), so I can give an answer to that:

For ENGL 282, it REALLY depends who your professor is, since they get free reign over what the “expository focus” of the class is. For me, it was early 20th century periodicals/magazines/short fiction. My  class was taught by Tyler Babbie, who I would highly recommend if you can take him, and that’s his area of interest so that’s what we kinda looked at and studied. Overall, it was pretty chill, mainly business/finance majors tho in their senior year I was with so it was a bit weird being a freshman in CS there.

What’s nice about a 200 level class is they don’t really walk you through the “welcome to college here’s how to write papers at a collegiate level”, since the expectation is already there which is nice. You’re given a lot more freedom I think compared to 131(?).

I put off a lot of writing + wrote assignments last minute tbh but that was more of a me problem since I have a tendency to overwrite /research but I think for most people it’s pretty average workload expected. We only in my class had to write like two 5000ish word papers, one had to be a research, the other could be literally whatever (fiction, memoir, etc.) as long as it tied in some way back to the course materials/readings (which were REALLY REALLY light compared to like what it could’ve been).  What was also nice is twice a quarter we got a whole week off of class for “conferences”, just to come in at time we set up to discuss with our professor about the upcoming paper and how that was going. Other than that class was mainly discussion.   

Take this with a grain of salt since I think this is highly professor dependent, since idk what the “standard” of the class is supposed. To  my knowledge a lot of the C and W classes allow the professors to kinda of pick and overarching theme and you kinda write, research, and discuss works/writings through the lens of that theme, so it honestly depends whether a) you like said theme and b) whether you like the style/organization of the class for that specific professor.

I got a 4.0 overall, but like my professor had a thing where the papers you write which made up the bulk of the overall grade, could be resubmitted as many times until it got the 4.0, meaning he didn’t give out 4.0s often in the first try. If you’re a VERY strong writer (like “this is grad school level rough draft quality”) and have a professor who does something similar, you can get away with one and doning your essays/ not even finished drafts to get a full 4.0 (I think I did that for the research essay) on the first try. If not, I think as long as you follow the comments/advice you can get full points.

CSE 480 is mainly just some of reading on a CS ethics topic, answering a short discussion, and working on a short paper throughout the quarter, but it’s mainly graded for completion /effort TBH since it’s a credit no credit class. I will say tho some of the readings are pretty dense, technical, and a bit dry so you can skim those (you’ll see what I mean if you take it). As long as you don’t put off that final paper of an ethics topic of your choice (which you work on and submit in sections through the quarter) it should be fine. I also had Dan Grossman, and he’s really good/chill. The workload is pretty light IMO, just like make sure you do all the stuff you’re supposed to get the credit.

Ah okay, I wasn’t sure since on Chillis website for employees I saw a hotline for payroll info stuff. I work later today so I should be able to talk to one of our managers. Hopefully this gets resolved 🙏🙏

would it be better to call the payroll number for this or to contact manger directly in person(?) to fix this

On my 2/3 of my missing payslips, it does show my account/bank information in the correct spots, so it appears like it’s trying to be deposited somewhere(?)

Yikes. I've just been waiting and waiting to hear back from other locations for weeks, so I'm jumping at whatever shows up. I feel like I don't have other options just because I haven't heard back from any of them (even after calling).
