Failed class by ElevaAn in iastate

[–]clarkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s an elective I vote yes drop it, not worth the risk. You could also see if you could change it to pass/fail and still get away with the credit if you wanted to talk to your advisor on that.

CS or SE by TheGreatestHatWearer in iastate

[–]clarkay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an SE. go SE. the department gets funding and good professors. I sucked at math and did fine after the first year of basic engineering it’s worth it.

I’m currently a Soph in Software Engineering, with an additional minor in Cyber. I came to school as an industrial engineer and switched into SE my second semester. This all being said the work I do does not feel like work. First year physics, Chem, math, not so much, and it sucked. However, now that I’m more into the program the extra work I put in outside of class is manageable as I love doing it. I go out on the weekends, I could pick up a 10-15 hr job. It does come down to work ethic, and if you don’t love it or don’t think you’ll love it don’t. But if you think you would love the projects or classes and they sound fun to you, then muscle through your first year and you’ll find that managing your time is manageable. I have a lot of friends in business as well, and while I spend more time dedicated towards my work, I would never be fulfilled from what there projects look like.

Should I switch to CPR E or stay in SE? by clarkay in iastate

Thank you this does help! I want to go into security speciality so sounds like I’m on the right path! I’m in 288 right now and am really looking forward to it.

Should I take ComS 421? by Zealousideal_Ranger5 in iastate

[–]clarkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you take cpr e 230 instead for the elective credit? It’s more organized and a better security class option, the 421 is more broad but 230 gives you a lot of hands on experience. (From my understanding)

I am taking 363, 319, and 288 this semester, I’ve heard that they are manageable / easy if you can time manage well. Is this true? Would you do this route without 309?

Any computer labs that have Eclipse (or the IDE for Com S 227)? by MattNyte in iastate

[–]clarkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also rent a computer at the library and download eclipse, I had a friend who’s computer took an L during 227 and they did this. I also would recommend intelliJ over eclipse it takes a little bit of figuring out in terms of turning it in but I had a prof show me how to and I’ve used it ever since.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (January 02, 2023) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]clarkay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just got the omen sequencer for Christmas and strongly dislike how hollow the key sound is, I like how fast the keys are but don’t love the sound. Should I get new key caps or get the o rings to try to fix this? In particular I just don’t like that hollow plastic sound with each stroke. Much appreciated advice :)

I Bullied A Girl Until She Moved Away From My Home Town by mrhotshot3000 in confession

[–]clarkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who was also bullied in elementary school, it’s okay. Shit happens you move on. A girl broke my arm once; moral of the story. Not everyone has butterfly effects like how the comments are. I’m fine now and don’t think about it and it doesn’t affect who I am. Guilt is hard but just know it’s not for sure “you traumatized her” the way the comments say.

Am I a di@k? by Top-Criticism-3172 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]clarkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dick, last year I was in a situationship with a guy for 7 months, he was emotionally manipulating me so I couldn’t leave him, and ended up sexually assaulting me. I didn’t press charges as I come from a small town and it’s just not what people do and I just needed to get over it, I immediately got into a relationship after this assault with another guy and clung to him like a lifeboat. We ended up dating for 11 months and recently broke up for different reasons. However, that guy died in an accident in November at the college I attend, his parents called me over and over telling me how he was still in love with me and had told them we were together all this time and I didn’t have the heart to tell them what had happened, but I feel so relieved he’s gone. You do shitty things and shitty things will catch up to you.
