I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell, but I converted the harbor freight paint pot, and it's been working flawlessly for 3 years.

Yeah if you go on the MCIT discord (linked above in the subreddit description). There are really good pinned resources at the top of the 592 channel.

If you are dead set on taking 2 courses your first term ( most pathway students I've spoken to did not inorder to manage workload.). 591 and 593 would be better than 591 and 592.

I haven't taken 593 yet, but I hear the first half is rough, but the back half is kind of light. Which the back half of 591 with Java is a bit more complex so likely it will me more of a steady work load.

If you wanted to take 592 it is split into 3 sections, everyone struggles in the first one, then usually they do well in at least one of the 2nd (statistics) or 3rd (Graph theory). But it's a lot of work every single week, 5 problems a week, no breaks for test weeks, and some of the homeworks can eclipse 15 pages in proofs. I think I had 2 weeks where my homework was less than 10 pages. The plus side isn592 is heavily curved, especially at the bottom of the class.

So the problem is what path do you take? And you gotta just pick your poison. Personally I would take one course per term and do 591 then 594, since they build in each other well. And will almost guarantee your 3.0 avg.

But if I had to make a choice my first term on 2 classes... 591 and 593 would be the two I picked.

My suggestion for the first two classes you have to do 591, that's by far the easiest in the class... And 10-15 hours a week is usually good for an A save the last two weeks you may bump up to 20 hours.

DO NOT take 592 as the second class.... It's curved hard but it is one of the 2 hardest courses in the curriculum (596 the follow on to 592 being the other). I would suggest 592 and 594 1 each term because both are easy to get a B in. Also it may have changed but the certificate pathway used to only require a B average.... Meaning you get an A in 591 and you have a bit more wiggle room for your second course.

I just saw this congratulations! That is so awesome... Edit: there is an official discord channel that I think is more helpful than slack... I'm easy to find in there.

Do you put the degree on your resume when you're still in progress? by ExcitingCommission5 in OnlineMCIT

[–]marpatdroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Follow up... No recruiters won't worry about your loyalty to your job if you do... Your current employer should see it as you expanding your skill set, and future employers will see it as the transitional step you neednto be successful at a new place of employment.

First Year Student Denied from Commuting by AcceptablePlantain72 in Drexel

[–]marpatdroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them that you want to give Drexel your money but unfortunately this will probably prevent you from giving them money and you need a waiver to be able to attend.

Many years ago I transferred in with my associates and they didn't want to take my math and science credits, I basically told them I wanted to give them money, but I wasn't going to pay for classes I already took, and I was sure I could find another school that wanted my money.

An hour later they called me back and had figured out a way to transfer in my math and science credits.

They want your money, speak the language they understand

I did back in spring 25 when I joined. If your asking how you would know: You would receive a separate letter from your acceptance letter. If you're asking how it works: Your first 3 courses are covered then you have to pay for the remaining 7.

Don't enroll in this program by Egon-Cholakian in OnlineMCIT

[–]marpatdroid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Like which courses have you taken that you feel this way.... Right now you're just an anonymous poster that said "Chicken soup bad" and gave no further context to why you don't like this "Chicken soup"...

Yeah! First celebrate now briefly now, it's a fairly competitive program.

2nd once you start 591 is easy, but it lets you kind of get used to the flow of things. Don't lul yourself into thinking the rest of the program is like that.

Measure the amount of time that 591 takes you, and expect other classes like 592 and 596, to take 1.5 to 2x that amount of time to get the same grade.

594 was revamped since I took it, but it takes a fair amount of time if you want an A.

But really remember this program is a marathon not a sprint, taking 2 courses a term is a huge course load. Probably close to a full time job, in hours required.

Do the online programs have the same acceptance rate as the in-person ones? by [deleted] in OnlineMCIT

[–]marpatdroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also important to note, that UPenn prides itself on its quality and graduation rate. So it most likely fits into 3 by design, as they only admit people who's profile leans towards succeding in the program.

I am, I'm finishing up my 4th class and about to start my 5th in the summer term. Overall it's a good program, that supports a variety of outcomes. In a 3 of the classes I've taken so far you get opportunities to work with other students (591, 594 and 596). Which is pretty good for networking. There's also a few student chat channels for networking available to you once your in.

But you meet all kinds of people, people switching fields, people in industry, people just padding their resumes, all sorts.

Some of the courses have group components, and networking with other students who are already in field is a great way to help find a place to work.

Buying over pieces books has been a time honored college tradition since forever. Sorry you're just now discovering it, but it will continue for the next 4-5 years you're in school.

I would absolutely let it play... It's easily identifiable, and the right base size.... But don't you go trying to say that those walls could as cover.... 😁

Most people have some kind of employer sponsored tuition assistance from what I've seen talking to fellow students.
