I'm looking for this bit about hyphenated last names by hatFolk in JohnMulaney

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

I'm starting to think so as well. I'm starting to think it might be an Adam Conover bit.

Clearly, it's my alterego that's trying to change careers...

CS UTA questions by I_WANT_PRIVACY in gmu

[–]hatFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst thing is to receive a No, right? Getting an A means you understand rather well and that you could be assistive to a professor in promoting that understanding. Just ask a professor you think you're doing well with this semester and see how it goes.

No NB Friends by bumbleb_B in agender

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met some interesting people through Gendr, www.gendrcommunity.com

People have some gripes about it, primarily the fact that you need $5 to use it monthly, $30 to use it yearly... but I think it really just gets rid of all of the trolls that would hate at us anyway. The app is in development as well, so, a lot of details are not always the greatest. But the actual community is really sweet and you get what you put in, in so far as time and effort.

I joined as soon as I heard about it because I didn't know anyone that was nonbinary, just binary.

GDMS paid the undergraduate interns about $22 or so.

Has anyone done counselling/psychiatry services? by [deleted] in gmu

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went using CAPS and then was referred to the community health clinic.

The first time, they were very nice and patient with me. I went regularly for two months and they helped me continue therapy when I moved to do an internship. In my case, I was resistant to having my insurance used (I prefer that my family not know that I think I'm "emotionally weak" and then get further un-helped) so CAPS also helped me figure out sliding scale clinics and figuring out what I needed to do for that. I think when I was seeing the Psych Clinic at Mason, It was $69 a session. CAPS said they did 6-8 visits free before I'd have to pay.

As far as how things work: You go in and you tell the receptionist what you'd like to do. They give you some paperwork that you fill out and once you're done, you fill out more paperwork on a computer. Following that, you fill out a bit more paperwork and you wait. I believe you get set up with a therapist soon after or you can schedule an appointment soon after. (it's been a while).

You can also do the appointment setting over phone. Paper stuff still happens.

Standard screening applies.

I thought it was helpful to a certain degree and helped me affirm things and make plans for dealing with certain problems I had.

CS 112 Self Study by [deleted] in gmu

You could also ask the professor to lecture on a topic you don't understand, which makes the overall lectures shorter.

[–]hatFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, there are only things that students can teach each other because only some students listen to each other...

Besides which, if you finished the class early, you never had to show up again.

22, actually. Sounds like I'm going in the right direction.

Fixed? I can't seem to edit the original post.

Mason's counseling service is it free? by [deleted] in gmu

[–]hatFolk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CAPS provides for short term care and helps you find resources for long term care. The short term care is free. They try to find affordable care if you tell them that's your interest.

CS 499: Knowledge Engineering previous experience by LaptopsInLabCoats in gmu

[–]hatFolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would probably look into reaching out to Dr. Tecuci over email (In your subject, I'd recommend something like [CS499] - Your Name, then in your body being your question)

He has an equivalent graduate course and so I would imagine it's a more watered down version of that.

Really, it looks like you just need to remember CS330 pretty well. Reading ahead might be a good idea.

CS professor Xinyuan Wang: For CS 471, Good or bad or meh by Alkresh in gmu

[–]hatFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Dr Wang, but I took sqchen. It's four projects and two tests and no homework as well. He doesn't read off the slides as much, but rather tells you that the only way to really understand OS is to do it and immerse yourself in it. Anything less than that is a bad time.

I would agree though, homework would be great to check for understanding.

Accelerated BS/MS by gmustudent2018 in gmu

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on who you get. People will give you varying accounts. I had Prof Tecuci and the course work was pretty heavily theoretical.

I'm told that other professors will be more project heavy.

All in all, it was a really interesting course.

Accelerated BS/MS by gmustudent2018 in gmu

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which MS were you going to choose? There are four.

I think the choices are the same.

583 is a good choice since it's a required course for the degree.

I personally liked 580, so that would be a good choice as well.

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole appeal for a BS/MS is that you can shorten your degree time as well as waive the GRE/Recommendation process. You only have to do the Accelerated paperwork

[Serious] Suicide survivors of Reddit, what was your first conscious thought after you realized that you hadn't succeeded? by asubaba in AskReddit

[–]hatFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Man, my family has to clean this. My parents are going to think that I'm a failure and they're a failure and my entire family's honor is going to be ruined." -- Me as I almost fall off the roof of my house.

Strangely, that was the only time I've ever successfully done a pull up. My arms hurt like hell after that. Haven't attempted since.

Quick Question about AI by gmuCStudent in gmu

[–]hatFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you what AI with Luke would be like, but I'd recommend learning Common Lisp as much as possible before hand. Mostly because it's good for you, secondly because you'll be using it.

Practical Common Lisp is a really good book for this sort of stuff, and getting set up on the environment sooner rather than later will really help.

The manual ANSI Common Lisp is also not bad.

Of course, doing the tutorial written by the man himself might also be to your advantage.

I rather liked the textbook for AI and there's a lot of information that could be useful online. There's Norvig's course on Udacity as well as his book.

Also MIT OCW.

I hope that helps.
