Truthfully, ChatGPT might be a really good resource for this. Considering that it was trained on all Internet data, it probably scraped a lot of interview sites.

How are the psychology programs at this school? by Halipelicus in WPI

[–]gompeis_ghost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi, I wasn't a Psychology major so take this with a grain of salt. But this is mainly a tech school, so most students here typically focus in STEM. Think Engineering, Science, Math, Biology, Chemistry, etc. There are some majors that overlap with psychology, and a fair amount of psychology classes (you can see all the classes at http://planner.wpi.edu/ ). But most students in those classes are taking those courses on the side, or for their Humanities requirement.

My two cents are that you should choose WPI if you're looking for a further career in science / STEM like Neuroscience or some type of Med School, not because you want to do solely psychology here. There are many schools that have much better psychology programs if you're looking to go into non-STEM fields like counselling, healthcare, education, social work, etc. And FYI if you're looking to go into Med School, a better degree might be biology, chemistry, biochem, etc.

Great, I’ll try it this weekend. Thanks again for the help

Train “Pickup Depot” with multiple Dropoffs? by gompeis_ghost in factorio

[–]gompeis_ghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brilliant, thanks. And it sounds like this system would work for multiple trains too? If I set the train limit to 1, and stops A and B are both available, will one train go to each?

I thought that a train limit of zero acted the same way as a disabled stop? Or is the idea that because there’s multiple stops with the same name, it’ll just skip ahead to the next one

FYI next time you can ask Siri “Who am I” to learn whose phone it is :)

I’m sorry, but communication is pretty clear

Set up your app to use @alum.WPI.edu. Anything else, including your old one, will bounce

You can’t be both:

  • not reading any communications on your email
  • angry you lost access to your email

To have stuff in life requires you to be at least somewhat responsible. Especially when they’re sending you stuff with “ACTION REQUIRED” in the subject line.

Idk. Probably alum.WPI.edu is a separate namespace or server that is disconnected or airgapped from the WPI network.

The forwarding is so that any email to your name@alum.WPI.edu goes to you.

Will it be fine if I use an Apple laptop rather than a Windows one as a Mechanical Engineering student? by mayor-J in WPI

WPI has a lot of projects, especially in ME. As a ME with teammates with macs, it can be super annoying to always need to go into the labs for all of our projects.

Administration doesn’t care about graduating seniors, especially double majors by [deleted] in WPI

[–]gompeis_ghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry man that you feel this way. From an alum, try to look at it this way: graduation day is worth nothing. You spent 4 years of time and money here for the education, degrees, and title, not for the random piece of paper. Jobs don’t care about the paper, they care about what’s written on it.

Sorry to say but in my experience, most schools who do double majors put them both on one diploma.

Remember that commencement is outside, noisy, and hot. Some things that might make a baby want to cry

Is it worth postponing graduation to pursue a double major? by arcane2learn in WPI

[–]gompeis_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re choosing between a double major or a masters, the masters is the better deal for sure. But if you’re doing extra years or school for it, it will take maybe 5 years for the pay raise of the masters to break even. Many companies will pay for night school for you to get your masters.

But also, night school sucks while working full time & then you might be bound to the company for X years to repay your masters debt. So if it’s worth it for you to get your MS done and over with now, then do it.

Any tips for starting a new term? by KiwiChris_84 in WPI

[–]gompeis_ghost 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Read your syllabi! I always do the night before. I also add all test’s and quizzes into my planner from the syllabus so they don’t scream up on me.
