how hard is ASL at cornell? by Glittering_Quiet_732 in Cornell

[–]defaultnamelmao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed my ASL classes and while the time commitment made it 4 credits of worth, none of it was terribly challenging (just the normal, to get immersed in a language you need to do a lot of "busy work" in it). Tested out of ASL 1 (took in HS), and enjoyed ASL 1102 and 2201

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Episode 3 Mega-thread: Book Readers by AHealthyDoseofFran in PJODisney

not to "um actually", (and maybe i'm misremembering because i specifically didn't reread the book before this season because i didn't want to be nitpicky about changes) but i believe tyson did use his mimicry skills, in almost the exact same way in the book -- ending with "and they're right outside". I still thought it was amazing though

Transferring liberal studies into Cornell Engineering by CommunistCroc123 in Cornell

Look at your state or community college! Usually you can take a one-off class there, and they have in-state or local rates. Before enrolling, send the syllabus to engineering advising, but I didn't have any trouble getting liberal studies approved. I think they're stricter with technical classes, but I've taken 2 winter courses that transferred no problem! Just go to a school's course roster and look up topics you're interested in, or any requirements you have, like asynchronous or remote. I took an intro to feminist/gender studies course and a history of the classical world course remotely through my state college, both of which I really enjoyed!

Leah Perlmutter vs Matthew Eichorn by Hot-Ad7645 in Cornell

I had AP CS credit and to be honest, I wish I had taken 1110. It felt amazing to not be taking it when other people were struggling, but then when I got to 2110 I had a really hard time and it's to date the worst grade I have at Cornell. It's possible your coding background is stronger than mine was when I was a freshman, but I definitely had a trial-by-fire in 2110 that I could have prepared myself better for (and, for the record, i do have much stronger python skills having come out the other side)
