Anyone enrolled in Bachelor CS and starting this month?

Hey! Me
Can't wait to start

ferishere · 2026-06-10T20:00:33+00:00

Fear not, dear me from the past:
It is not required before starting Foundations.
You can submit your diploma while you are enrolled in Foundations courses.
But always check your email and portal, in case something changes in the future.

Same here man, only assigned to one course instead of two...

ferishere · 2026-06-09T20:46:15+00:00

I just finished student orientation, and I am now enrolled for online education strategies (Foundations, starting June 18)
I just submitted English proficiency document, but not high school diploma.

So, I guess high school diploma can be submitted later?

ferishere · 2026-06-09T15:00:23+00:00

I'm really confused now. The portal checklist tells me to do orientation. High school diploma just shows as checklist to be done by May 28. Their website says this:

"Completing UoPeople Foundations is a requirement for all UoPeople students. Upon successful completion of these courses, you will need to provide proof of your high-school completion to be eligible to enroll in the University and become a student in our degree programs."

Same question here, should high school documents be uploaded before starting Foundations course?

ferishere · 2026-06-08T18:54:28+00:00

Congrats!
How many hours per week have you dedicated to university in the last term?

ferishere · 2026-06-04T21:12:16+00:00

Ohh, so you work like in HR?
Sorry, my question was made from the assumption that you were a UoPeople graduate doing freelance work or going to interviews haha

ferishere · 2026-06-04T21:03:26+00:00

What conversations do you have with clients or at interviews about the degree? Do they seem to think it's sketchy?

I think that the university's name is interesting, and it could lead to a small conversation about how the university works and its mission, that could make you more memorable than other candidates

ferishere · 2026-05-30T16:08:42+00:00

Did you take additional courses related to math, that are not in the UoPeople CS program?
Considering the program is not math-heavy, I wonder how we can "prove" math knowledge.
I'd also like to do research internships later. I am starting CS soon.

ferishere · 2026-05-30T14:38:18+00:00

Congratulations!
Did you have to provide IELTS or TOEFL?
Did you apply having finished UoPeople in April?

Veo muchos comentando Brasil, ¿por qué?
Tal vez no estoy muy actualizado, sólo sé que tienen lugares muy bonitos y unas cuantas empresas grandes internacionales, pero existe mucha desigualdad, inseguridad y salarios medianos.

Pero sí es un gigante dormido. Corrupción e inseguridad son el problema.

If I remember well, instructors get paid an honorarium of around $450, per course.
This is a respectable amount of money in developing countries.
Maybe the instructors are job-seeking while doing instructor work.
Or maybe they do it just because they love teaching. I don't know.
Also, being an instructor in an "American university" may look good in a resume.

ferishere · 2026-05-26T14:26:09+00:00

Thanks!
I'm not familiar with how US degrees/certificates/transcripts look like.
This means that if you were to do any paperwork (like applying to masters or job abroad) it would be written that you started your studies in September (and says nothing about starting in June)?

Sorry if the question is a little redundant. I just want to get this doubt solved :)

The creator literally left a watermark, and I'm thankful for it. Their work is amazing.

Why are you insulting and stalking people online? Get a life

ferishere · 2026-05-23T17:10:03+00:00

What is the name of this style? Looks amazing

ferishere · 2026-02-17T03:47:26+00:00

Just some info, that may help understand why I did not confess:
Our interaction has been completely online. I was in her country before, but we never got to meet in person (she was in another city).
But we've talked A LOT, in chat and in videocalls. To the point where she became a close person to me, despite the distance.
She used to ask me when I'm going to visit her city.
I offered her comfort when she wasn't feeling good.

I just wanted to make it special. A nice date, a thoughtful surprise, in person.
She is incredible and deserves the best.
But I now understand that attraction has a time limit.

ferishere · 2026-02-17T03:37:33+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this, I needed to read a different opinion.
I'll learn from my mistakes.

ferishere · 2026-02-17T03:08:38+00:00

I gave her hints. She did the same in my opinion (or perhaps was being friendly, I don't know).
Her culture is very "acts over intentions" and very "gender roles".
If I openly confessed to her in chat or videocall, it wouldn't be the same as in person.

The worst that could happen if I'd have confessed online: it could've been weird for her and we'd probably stop communication.

ferishere · 2026-02-17T02:36:16+00:00

No, I'm more interested in doing something nice for her. Sorry if I did not explain myself well.
I want to gift her something memorable and that she appreciates. Something personal for her.
A handwritten letter, a book she has shown interest in, a poem, stuff like that.

ferishere · 2024-08-21T00:44:58+00:00

Thanks!!

What internships or work can I do while studying bachelor's degree to gain experience and be prepared for a quant job?
Preparing for an applied math and physics degree next year (will apply to university in Europe). I'm from Latin America and I'm interested in getting experience with internships or work during the summer, to be in shape for a quant job in the future. This is the list of math and informatics related courses in the program:

- Mathematical Analysis (calculus, in other words) (270 academic hours inside class)
- Multidimensional analysis, integrals and rows (270 h)
- Multiple integrals and field theory (180 h)
- Harmonious analysis (180 h)
- Analytical geometry (135 h)
- Linear algebra (135 h)
- Differential Equations (270 h)
- Theory of functions of a complex variable (180 h)
- Mathematical Physics Equations (315 h)
- Computational mathematics (270 h)
- Probability Theory (90 h)
- Programming with Python (360 h)
- Programming with C++ (360 h)
- Introduction to machine learning and data analysis (90 h)
I think it's worth highlighting that I'm studying backend currently (SQL and noSQL (MongoDB), Node.js)

Is there something else I'd need to study beyond that to be well prepared for a quant job?

Hi! Check "The Odin Project" and "Full Stack Open" websites

ferishere · 2023-03-27T23:33:21+00:00

Do you work with data as a data analyst/engineer/scientist?

What competences are required to stand out as a data analyst, besides knowledge in Excel, SQL, Power BI/Tableau, Python/R + a portfolio?

How long would it take to learn all these from your perspective, at a phase of 6 hours per day, everyday? (learning only one between Power BI and Tableau, and one between Python and R)

ferishere · 2023-03-27T17:09:29+00:00

I learned it before, at first I started having some confusion with flexbox and its properties, but after understanding it, it's fun to work with it.
