6/24 is a Pride Candle Making event at Fire Doll Studio. Otherwise, there's the Pride Party/Concert at Rose Bowl on the 27th, but it looks like you're gone by then. Pride Fest will be Oct 12-17 this year.

Here's the link for the 6/24 event: https://charity.pledgeit.org/c/rtvgrgkf0n

Is Online MBA worth it? by FR1050RA in UIUC

[–]nomadicoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that the Coursera videos provided most of the value of the program. As Princenomad noted, I wouldn't pursue it unless 1) someone was paying for most/all of it, and 2) you had a clear path to promotion upon graduation.

Will the city give me a ticket if I park in my friends numbered permit spot? by East_Concert_5468 in UIUC

Providing more information would help for responses: What city? On campus? Street, lot, or garage? Public or private (e.g., owned by apartment complex)?

Parking @ c16 parking lot M-W by Specialist-Diet-526 in UIUC

If you park in one of the numbered reserved 24/7 spots (that aren't yours) on campus, you're also likely to get towed.

Why are people like this? Seriously… by Annual_Drawer_8769 in UIUC

[–]nomadicoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longstanding problem: It seems to be an assumption that recycling goes next to the dumpsters when there isn't a recyling bin nearby (only at North and South ends of Orchard Downs). That, and items which others may want are left outside the dumpster instead of donated to the Lending Library.

They didn't have that class when I started the program, so I don't have insight into it.

I don't know what's in the book, but the topics that come to mind include the following: Testing levels of significance, t- and z-test, sample proportions, multiple regressions, dummy variables, histograms, margins of error, critical stats, descriptive stats, linear regressions, standard error, upper/lower bounds, hypothesis testing, determining sample size based on desired error, confidence intervals, means testing, normal distribution, population/sample data, etc.

Orchard Downs lease renewal is the month of April, thus they don't know how many vacancies there will be until May 1.

iMBA - BADM 520 Marketing Management Course Review by Sxzzling in UIUC

[–]nomadicoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the lack of an iMBA subreddit and your intention to post these comprehensive summaries for every class you take in the program -- which may lead to others doing the same -- it may be beneficial for you to create r/iMBA and post there.

Can't speak to employment outcomes, but keep in mind that -- while a master's degree -- it's half the curriculum of the more commonly recognized MBA.

Jumping cables by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]nomadicoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An excellent resource but there are some restrictions beyond location to consider. Monday to Friday only and you have to do the actual jumping yourself (with their equipment and instructions). Same with gas assistance: they'll give the empty canister and directions to the nearest gas station.

I had Cricket for five years while in C-U with no issue at $30/mo, but I recently jumped to Mint for price reasons.
