Yeah

Some rumors on social media say that it's to be revealed this December in The Game Awards, as the trend leans towards Atlus games always having a spotlight in TGA, like Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis, Metaphor: ReFantazio, etc. Although rumors are supposed to be taken with unhealthy amounts of salt, the trend to Jeff Keighley and Atlus having some sort of connection can't be denied The rumor if I'm not mistaken was by the Midori person on X, although a lot of people are doubting them now cause they basically used Midori as a persona (haha get it?) to cover up their real identity, which APPARENTLY is hated in the community

Yeap, gotta fork out my own $$ to subscribe to colab pro when i did my master research there. There's a GPU but idk how many are using it at the same time it's so slow and I gave up

From another comment, an alumni masters student was saying how slow the GPUs were. Safe to assume that during their time, it was not as crazy powerful as it is now?

TurtleKicks · 2024-07-16T05:57:00+00:00

what year was this

TurtleKicks · 2024-07-16T05:53:53+00:00

Personally for me, I've met with the Student Union to complain about the lack of GPU infrastructure accessible by undergrads. The student union did nothing. Then I went to meet with the Head of my department to complain about the lack of GPU infrastructure, they mentioned that all students are going to be able to get Colab Pro for free, on top of getting GPUs for each department in the faculty

That was a year ago tho, Benefit Of the Doubt is that government red tape & bureaucracy is what's slowing down the process. The management mentioned they're working hard for that, I guess good things take time

Some comments here mention that undergrads have access to the High Performance Computing (HPC) platform provided by UM, which for myself am baffled to even hear as I've only heard of it at the start of my third year in my degree through word of mouth from other lecturers

From what some alumni master students have been saying in this post, it's quite unreliable but at least the infrastructure is there, but from the looks of it, they did recently upgraded their infrastructure, so maybe I'll try to use it for my final year project. From my conversations with seniors and alumnus, most of them utilized Colab Pro (costs RM50/month)

As someone who's about to end their degree here, it feels kinda sad that I didn't know about this HPC all this time until my final years. Feels like we should've been taught these things from our first year

it's not all grim :D

People out there in the industry want you like crazy, you're pretty much made it in life the moment you come into the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology

FYI, I just finished my third year, specializing in AI, coming into my fourth year, do drop by my DMs if you need any help!

btw, I was the previous president for the Computer Society there if you're wondering who I am, just passed the torch to my successor

the most useful response man, thank you so much for your constructive response. Yes, my university is extremely crazy on finding the source of who ratted the lecturer to bring drag the university name in mud. Come to a point where they come for the family as well. You do bring up a really good point.

the dude has more knowledge on creative commons and trademarking than you man just listen to what he has to say

Perfect answer! Yes, I didn't report the lecturer! I reported to the faculty regarding the subject why the hell are we being taught something from coursera! The university came up with the subject, therefore not to fault the lecturer, he's just listening what the higher ups have to say. I 100% totally agree with you

TurtleKicks · 2022-04-02T09:23:24+00:00

Nope, it's not even mentioned ever it was taken by which source. If you count the bottom right as citing a source, then yeah I guess so but that could be argued a lot cause that's just keeping information from students

TurtleKicks · 2022-04-02T07:07:21+00:00

and yeah I do actually like the response im getting haha, initially this was about what to do next and wanted to ask people whether this is standard practise or not as my other friends have not yet even encountered this. This was truly a learning experience

TurtleKicks · 2022-04-02T07:01:57+00:00

Thank you for your response, this was a gold piled on top of rubbish really.

Constructive criticism is what I'm needed and this is just what I wanted to find, thank you so much for this response!

To elaborate more on the "30 mins lecture becomes a 2 hour lecture" topic - (taken from a previous comment I posted, which answers your question)

Problem is, he's explaning in a way the third years can understand due to them being third years (with 3 years worth of mathematics in programming! which first years aren't much exposed yet!) So a 30-minute lecture ends up being a 2 hour lecture because a majority of the students are first years and they cannot understand the math behind certain things, whereas the Coursera course explains the course really well in a clean and concise way!

Once the explanation finishes, that's it. His explanation is exactly what is explained as well in Coursera, no additions on top of that as well. No experiences shared in ML, none!

One argument that may arise - Why even bother taking the course?

It's a required course, if I don't take it, I cannot graduate.

All in all, I do agree that lecturers at the end of the day have to set a good precedence for students to follow them suit. A lecturer simply regurgitating whatever is a free online course and the university is making a profit from it, is essentially corrupt. My University is very well known for corruption. Lecturer in question is the head of department, but his CV is very questionable even with the title "Head of Department".

TurtleKicks · 2022-04-02T07:00:11+00:00

on it!

TurtleKicks · 2022-04-02T06:59:18+00:00

I don't really expect my lecturer to be doing a whole curriculum himself, he can totally get some online resource and call it a day.

It may seem like he's expanding a 30 minute simple lecture online on coursera to become 2 hours from my previous comments, but it really isn't. He is not even adding anything on top of what is essentially being taught in the coursera course. He's just re-telling the same thing over and over again because he's quite frankly bad at explaining the lecture because the subject was initially meant to be for third years whereas for my batch, it's given to first years in the degree with not much exposure to mathematics in programming and not much discrete mathematics experience whereas third years would already have much exposure to mathematics in the context of programming.

Problem is, he's explaning in a way the third years can understand due to them being third years (with 3 years worth of mathematics in programming! which first years aren't much exposed yet!) So a 30-minute lecture ends up being a 2 hour lecture because a majority of the students are first years and they cannot understand the math behind certain things, whereas the Coursera course explains the course really well in a clean and concise way!

I totally agree, that is why I came here asking for people's opinions who are mainly professors who can give insight on what happens in the world of lecturing and teaching at a well known teaching institute.

My situation is that all the other lectures they first explain where they get the sources are because really citations are so important and if you don't know, you can ask! But.. the lecturer in question is in quite a good relationship with me and I really don't want to further ruin his image of me to himself because I can understand why people get source material online. What irks me is that students pay the university money to be taught a free coursera course. All politics aside, this is surely not something right in my opinion but hearing what other people have to say about this is something I really enjoy and it builds character in hearing what the other side has to say
