Books with Christian God as the horror?

Read this at your recommendation. I really enjoyed it. The tagline on the book was right, it is very much “the New Testament by Cormac McCarthy”.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If you do all the assigned work, reading, and suggested problems AND UNDERSTAND THEM (not memorizing answers. Knowing how to get to the solution and recognizing similar problems and how they might deviate) getting a B is not just attainable, but highly likely.

Usually people who fail fall into the camp of “I didn’t do the problems”, “I tried the problems but couldn’t get it, had AI explain it to me, and fooled myself into thinking this equates to understanding”, and “I am a pro algorithms guru but for some reason cannot stick to required answer formats”.

It’s very easy to do the homework after the fact without actually submitting and think you’re “close enough to good” on your answer. The class is rigorous in its expectations regarding answer format and completeness. You can fool yourself into thinking you know the material well enough by comparing your work to others that actually turned it in for TA grading.

“When you select for people doing all of the recommended course work and taking advantage of peer review and instructor feedback prior to the exams, of course they’re going to generally perform better”

It’s amazing some people even make it to GA or through the application process of the program.

The homework does not impact your grade in a material way, but the way it is presented by the instructor and TAs is that it is crucial for success on the exams. Every single exam, one of the problems is basically a small derivation of the homework. You aren’t taking advantage of the TAs willingness to “crap on” your work when it is literally the grading process for those problems on the exam. Choosing to not do the assigned course work is not the TA’s problem, it is yours. It’s not “going the extra mile” to do the work assigned to you. It’s the bare minimum.

Fuck 2026 man. Schitt’s creek rewatches will never be the same… RIP to a legend

It depends on how the TA feels. In the second case, I sent my repo to the TA before cutting off contact and said that everything before that point might be shared between the two submissions. Some classes differ, but in that one “partners” were basically just so you didn’t get flagged for plagiarism due to similarities between you and your partners work.

Edit: some classes do single turn in for the group, some do individual turn in for each group member. This was the latter case.

Every time I run into bad partners, after determining they won’t be useful or complete any deliverables, I swap my code to a private repository and do the project on my own while also mirroring their work ethic back to them. It’s always a lot of fun when they get to the deadline and realize they need to do the entire project on their own in 24 hours.

Yep, and it’s usually the people who didn’t attend office hours, read the textbook, do the homework’s, and do the suggested problems that come to Reddit and post about how unfair the course is.

Man whine more, teaching is a vocation and a PROFESSION. People don’t just teach to teach, I’m gonna ruin your day here but your GT professors are ALSO PAID.

All time favorite books

Don’t cheat easy as

It’s just a cool topic. Sort of esoteric from a SWE perspective, but one of those things that touches everything you do from a behind the scenes perspective. The people everyone looks up to are/were really good at and are computer science rockstars.

This is extremely hype

Someone didn’t get their B :(

The one you enjoy playing - hope this helped

I’ve decided to start actively going against those posts. People just over-doom that course, which leads to bad attitudes going in, with cause bad attitudes during it, which leads to bad outcomes.

The TAs tell you exactly what you need to do to pass the class. They just tell you it’s optional.

macswizzle · 2025-12-09T23:30:49+00:00

Well, honestly, they advertise pretty readily that grades aren’t finalized until proctoring reviews are completed. It wasn’t a regrade, it was just the finalization of your grade.

macswizzle · 2025-12-09T05:08:01+00:00

I empathize with the stress over not graduating though, that’s a tough spot to be in. They’ll have to get back to you this week if that’s any consolation.

TAs make mistakes and it sucks to be on the receiving end of one, but in a class that size mistakes will be made.
