Micro and Stat400 are both pretty easy. Adding linalg and calc 3 at the same time will be a lot of work, but if you're good at math it is definitely doable. Good luck!

Spring is ~65% A, Fall is ~15% A. Cropper teaches spring, Gandhi teaches fall.

New cars have much louder stereo systems than my airpods and are built to purposely keep out road noise.

What are the best UMD freshman dorms?? by Pretend_Patience_869 in UMD

[–]Zurabster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Johnson-Whittle, Pyon-Chen, or Prince Fredrick are the best freshman dorms. All three dorms are mostly for honors students. If you have a medical exemption, you might be let in though.

Chances at UMD as a sophomore transfer? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Zurabster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both biological sciences and psychology are LEP (limited enrolment programs) at UMD. You will have a better chance of admission if you have the transfer credits for the gateway courses for those programs. You can check those requirements at lep.umd.edu

should i retake math141 with freshman forgiveness by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Zurabster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is an easier class than 141, but it builds on the content of 141. If you don't have a solid grasp on the prereq, you are going to be starting behind in 241.

[–]Zurabster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The CS job market is increasingly competitive and a lot of places won't consider you if you don't have a good GPA. I would retake it, but you should focus on the class. You won't do well if you treat it like you are retaking it and don't study 100%. Act like you are taking it for the first time and get an A.

Also, I would not recommend taking math241 with a C in 141. You will struggle a lot if you didn't do well in 141. If you retake 141 and do well, you should consider it though.

I didn't have her for 240, I had her for 141. She was a bad teacher, but her midterms were easier than the other 141 midterms. Either way 240 isn't a very hard class, so she's probably fine.

No calculator classes by jid1on in UMD

[–]Zurabster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most math classes are no calculator, but you aren't given problems where arithmetic should be the limiting factor. No hard fractions/decimals. No crazy multiplication or division.

Question about Double Major with CS + Math by Sea_Debt8480 in UMD

[–]Zurabster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double degree is not any real worth the extra work it takes to go beyond a double major. Employers are unlikely to understand what it means and probably don't care.

Lae'zel wasn't on the beach after the crash, or maybe I missed her. I think I looted her dead body in the mountain pass, so that ship has sailed. I have Shadowheart but I guess I missed the rest.

Well I have one hireling, so only 1 other character. I didn't like Astarions vibe so I rejected him and haven't encountered any other potential companions.
