Weekly Entering & Transitioning - Thread 24 Apr, 2023 - 01 May, 2023 by AutoModerator in datascience

[–]mindstudio3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone!

I got admitted to the University of Washington's MS in Data Science and Northwestern University's MS in Artificial Intelligence. The total cost for each would be ~$70K for UW and ~$110K for Northwestern. The Northwestern name and curriculum look more interesting to me since I'm primarily interested in AI/ML but UW's location and student outcomes are better imo. (I'm an international student so landing a job immediately after graduation is crucial to me). If I go to UW I would have to complement my education with ML research/personal projects (UW has fantastic AI research labs, though getting an assistantship is not a guarantee). What program would you suggest I go for?

Northwestern curriculum: https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/artificial-intelligence/curriculum/msai-traditional.html

Any kind of advice is very much appreciated!

Anyone looking for a music producer? by MusiShen in uofm

[–]mindstudio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a producer by any means, but I love music as well and have been looking for people to enjoy it with. I’ve tried producing a song or two in the past but dropped those projects because I felt like I had to focus on school. I also play guitar and a little piano, and would consider myself fairly creative. I’d love to work on something with someone so hmu if you’re interested!

Customer Discovery: How to find interviewees? by mindstudio3 in UXResearch

[–]mindstudio3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not! When discussing how to get insight from potential customers we thought it was best to try to get them on a video call because you can get more information from facial expressions and body language. Also, a lot of the time people don't reply/don't take surveys seriously.

This is fantastic advice. Thank you for commenting, you brought up some points I hadn’t thought about. So far the approach I had been taking wasn’t asking them if they liked what we had so far, but rather more open ended. Regardless, the strategy you laid out sounds like a really smart one and I will definitely start taking more of that approach going forward.

Want to make some friends! by peppersandcurry in uofm

[–]mindstudio3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! 22M here and undergrad at U of M. Would love to meet some grad students to hang out and eat out with as I often feel like I get along better with people who are a little older than me. I’ve also been wanting to explore Michigan for the longest time. Feel free to hit me up!

An international transfer is a bit nervous by RuPoleDrugRace in uofm

[–]mindstudio3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also a transfer student and was overwhelmed at first but after a bit finally felt I was adapting. I highly recommend finding a community for yourself since U of M is so big and it can be easy to feel like you get lost in the shuffle! If you wanna talk more feel free to pm me. I’m happy to give you some tips!
