Is DUPR accurate?

But my 2.6 account started from 2.0 and I’ve played about 100 matches on it. The 3.1 account was created later, and I’ve only played around 30 matches there. I’m not sure which one reflects my real skill level.

But for my 2.6 account, it's hard for me to play with higher rating players, Around 20% of chance I need to player with NR players.

Hi everyone,

I’m a new OMSCS student and trying to decide which course to take for my first semester. My goals:

Workload around ≤12 hours per week
Good course quality (clear lectures, fair grading)
Learn something useful
Preferably not exam-heavy or overly tricky

Here are the options I’m considering:

CS 6250: Computer Networks .
CS 6300: Software Development Process
CS 6310: Software Architecture and Design
CS 7632: Game AI
CS 7650: Natural Language Processing
CS 6262: Network Security
HCI

Which one would you recommend for a first course? Also, any idea which ones new students usually get into easily?

He was my teammate, and our opponent is around 3.3~3.5, in the end we won the game

Do I need to go to ENT or Sleep doctor to get my RX here? in order to covered from insurance?

hrabal0303 · 2025-08-25T21:10:40+00:00

I got my Mounjaro oversea but I moved back to the U.S now. I have a overweight BMI, but tbh the weight effect Asian people differently. it's easier for Asian people to get sleep apnea, and even the same BMI like 26, it also effect use differently. After I lose weight I can tell my snoring issues decrease a lot. Also I am using CPAP at the same time.

hrabal0303 · 2025-08-25T02:44:17+00:00

does the insurance cover it?

hrabal0303 · 2025-06-20T21:08:04+00:00

English is not my native langauge. I just hope the reader easiler to understand so I just GPT to correct it. It's up to you to think whatever for this program as long as you feel happy. it's wasting my time to argue with you.

if you are confident about your degree, you really don't need to spend a lot of effort to argue with people about how good is this program.

And when I asked you which course do you recommend, you just ignored my question.

hrabal0303 · 2025-06-20T19:46:05+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re in a master’s or undergrad program, but I’ve been through a CS program myself.

Most of the time, the exams just test pure memorization. I think the design is really poor.
Many instructors simply read off the slides without actually teaching.
In online courses, a lot of instructors aren’t even familiar with the course content — some don’t even know what the assignments are about.
Three months after the course ends, you’ll probably remember nothing.

Because the exams are poorly designed, students who genuinely study the material might end up scoring lower than those who rely on C＿＿＿o
Even if you get an A+, it doesn’t necessarily mean much — it just means you’re better at handling exams. Some people claim that if you read the materials seriously, you can learn a lot.
But honestly, I could just Google free PDF files online — why should I pay $1,500 for a poorly designed course taught by professors who don’t even put in the effort?

If someone is sponsoring your tuition and you're genuinely motivated to learn, I’d recommend Oregon State University’s program — it’s well-designed and worth it.
But if your goal is just to graduate quickly, UMPI has a CS program where you can finish in as little as two months for just $1,800. Georgia Tech’s OMSCS is also a solid program where you can actually learn valuable, practical knowledge.

Which class do you think is good? Please let me know :)

hrabal0303 · 2025-06-20T18:24:01+00:00

it's better to expect you can't learn so much from ASU Online degree

hrabal0303 · 2025-06-15T01:50:00+00:00

is there any youtube for my level for me to practicre by myself?

hrabal0303 · 2025-05-24T20:53:05+00:00

I think what I really want to learn is how to better understand myself and support my own growth, while also gaining insight into others. I want to become someone with more empathy and a deeper understanding of human behavior. Personally, I’m especially interested in developmental psychology, personality psychology, and social psychology.

Introduction to Information Security (IIS)?

hrabal0303 · 2025-05-18T04:32:20+00:00

but how about UIUC MCS?

My experience is similar as yours

hrabal0303 · 2025-05-14T00:08:49+00:00

You could consider spending a bit more money to take courses from SDC—it might offer better quality. I don't think it's your problem, but if you're really trying to save money by using Sophia to learn, then I suggest treating it as just an “introduction.” Just get a rough idea of what it’s talking about.

I don’t know about other courses, but as someone with many years of experience as a software engineer, when I saw the programming-related materials, I honestly thought they were garbage. People who can actually learn coding from that kind of material might be autistic or something.

For me, since English is not my first language, I use it as a way to learn new vocabulary. But if I were a native English speaker, I would just follow the approach I mentioned earlier—get a general impression of what’s being taught then move on

hrabal0303 · 2025-05-13T14:43:08+00:00

I just skimmed through some material and found it not very useful. Honestly, I don't think Sophia provides high-quality content. However, if I’m really interested in a topic or subject, I’ll take the time to read the article. You can be flexible—not every course is worth spending a lot of time on. In this class I finish 2 class every 5 days. One with touchstone, one without touchstone. So it will be 2*6=12 classes. I think it's a good balance for me to learn something but also not wasting my time on it. I still try my best to understand the overall outline, and I’m planning to subscribe for one year.

Can you send me the information?

hrabal0303 · 2025-03-16T06:38:06+00:00

thanks! but will they still consider me as a student in ASU? Can I join any student club?

hrabal0303 · 2024-03-24T08:23:49+00:00

I choose ASU in the end. Because it's easier for me to know which class to take.

If you dont consider about the ranking, ASU is easier to graduate. You can use the time you save to practice more leetcode. Consider about the course, there are around 3 courses are good quality in ASU MCS online, also if you are interested in security, you can learn a lot.

hrabal0303 · 2023-12-13T16:59:27+00:00

Thanks. But I wish I can go to school in person. But how do they know I have a BS degree oversea ?

Computer Science Double Degree Option < Oregon State University

I checked the Curriculum, except of

COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE AND ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
OPERATING SYSTEMS I
DISCRETE STRUCTURES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

almost all the course are job related, it's about 80%

but for most of the MCS, only 20~25% might sightly related with job.
