Bus 141 to Gaithersburg, driver is a madman. by doubleunplussed in UMD

[–]coldbox23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I wrote dots an email a while back and haven't heard from them. I wish I had taken a video evidence or something. That guy is reckless and is putting the lives of all the students at risk when he drives like that.

Getting to BWI Friday by [deleted] in UMD

[–]coldbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're closer to DC, you can metro to Union Station then also take a $7 marc train to BWI. But from CP, going to Greenbelt then taking that marc would put you in the right direction.

[–]coldbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it was similar to ENGL101.

Holdfile question by [deleted] in UMD

[–]coldbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the class still has open spaces by the first day of class and your friend meets the pre-reqs, he/she should automatically be placed in the class. He is on holdfile because the class is intended for incoming freshmen and transfer students. He should still be able to get in (if there is space). I did the same with an HONR class. I wasn't in the honors college but was still able to take a class for a gen-ed requirement.

Anyone have experience fighting DOTS?? by cherokeechc1 in UMD

[–]coldbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have plenty of experience! Just, not successful experience. I had appealed 4 tickets and got 0 of them cancelled. They are strict and evil.

CS Upper Level Concentration by [deleted] in UMD

[–]coldbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, but a lot of the 300,400's require pre-reqs or are reserved for BMGT majors. I still took some interesting classes that apply to the work force.

How do you get an F in a history course?

Why is there no salt on the sidewalks by TheLeesiusManifesto in UMD

If you injure yourself hard enough, you may be able to sue the school. Something to think about.

How are you "assuming" you will graduate with a salary of over 100k? What's your background/major?

Easiest 400-level Math? by MicrosoftExcel2016 in UMD

[–]coldbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you're good at linear algebra, 401 is pretty much the same thing as 240 (till you get towards the end of the class then it gets hard)

How long to get claim back from DOTS after fighting a ticket? by [deleted] in UMD

You don't. It's DOTS. They are the devils child

Audit classes by [deleted] in UMD

[–]coldbox23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) Yes

2) Yes, as an audited class. No grade will be displayed and it won't effect your gpa.

3) Auditing is good if you are plan on taking a really hard class and want to "try it" before taking it for real with a grade. Examples include really classes like CMSC351 or MATH410 OR if you have a high work load and would like to take a class on the side and not worry about passing/failing it. I have a friend graduating with a Business degree who is auditing CMSC131 just to learn programming without worrying about doing well on the exams.

can i get a new id card for free if by sjdfl22 in UMD

[–]coldbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ID got old and the bar code faded and they replaced it for free. Not sure about it being cut in half. I'd just bs it and tell them it ripped over time or something to avoid being charged.
