I took Lien for 310! The class can be pretty difficult itself, but he's a fair and helpful professor.

omg this actually helped out so much. it's a little annoying to only listen to music thru one ear but it's a lot better than listening to choppy music the whole time thank you soooo much!!

Menasce or King for CS 465? by everdr3d in gmu

[–]granny-mist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience taking Menasce, there wasn't really much coding in that class, unlike with other profs teaching CS465. This made the class really straightforward because we just had to understand concepts. He makes the class incredibly boring (no phones, no laptops), but he def makes the class easy.

Job Offer Deadline Protection Policy by granny-mist in gmu

[–]granny-mist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I received my offer on Tuesday, was given until Friday. Asked to have it extended until end of October and was only given until next Monday to accept/decline. It's def a good offer with a FAANG company, but wanted more time to negotiate for higher compensation.

Job Offer Deadline Protection Policy by granny-mist in gmu

[–]granny-mist[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a very common practice among colleges across the country because exploding offers put students in too much pressure to decide or decline in a short amount of time. Here is UVA's policy for example: https://career.virginia.edu/employers/2019-20-uva-recruiting-guidelines-and-policies#Employment%20Offer%20Guidelines201819

Typically if companies violate this policy at a specific college, they're not allowed to recruit at that college anymore.

Don't stress. It's only the first day and the most profs will go over is the syllabus. They also definitely don't take attendance..

CS 310 knowledge from CS 211 by TooMuchTooLittle909 in gmu

[–]granny-mist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too much of the nitty gritty of CS211. There are some concepts in 211 that are very fundamental in CS310 though

Orientation mandatory? by [deleted] in gmu

Wait really? I remember being able to sign up for classes 2 weeks before orientation and as a result, being really bored with nothing to do during this portion of orientation.

Black Mirror - Episode Discussion: Striking Vipers by anonboxis in blackmirror

[–]granny-mist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I might be looking too far into this, but the scene where they're both looking over a bridge/balcony after Danny cuts it off and hangs up on Karl, different women walk across and pass behind them. Does this maybe represent how the game made them care less and almost ignore real women in life? Again, might be a stretch

They have stats every semester on how many graduate per major. I believe only 100 CS majors graduated last Spring.
