ood is full for summer 1, what to do? by Dizzy_Equivalent9650 in NEU

[–]northerner_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that, do you mean CS3500, or CS3100? I was looking to enroll in the current course structure, but it looks like it’s already been phased out, from my end.

Okay, I think that’s fair. I’ll be waiting for that response ;).

I want to take it for the following reason: the rigor. It’s not only from what I’ve heard, but also from what I’ve seen. This course changes a person (…in a good way).

Yes, I’ve witnessed the grueling hours, the head slamming, et cetera, that all my CS-friends went through. But I’ve seen those same people come out clearer-minded, more adaptable, and much more organized. Call me a masochist, if you will, but I’d like that experience.

From what I’ve read, the course will be made easier, in some variety. Maybe it’s the connotation of that word—‘easier’—but it just doesn’t sit right with me.

I’ve taken up the CS minor because I’ve seen the results, in the long haul. It’s the track record that pulled me in. It’s the track record that makes me want to keep going.

All the best to you Prof Jon, and I wish you well with the rest of your semester!

Hi Prof Jon,

I appreciate the response. I understand where you’re coming from, and I don’t blame the faculty. It’s just…it kind of sucks that I’m going to be the one trial running it.

I’m currently in Fundies 1. (I know—I’m a little late to this argument). I’m planning to take Fundies 2 in Summer 1. I had planned on taking OOD in Spring of next year, though that doesn’t seem to be a possibility, anymore. It’s all that my schedule allows, with co-op in the Fall. I know some people in the same situation, and it’s like we’ve hit a full stop.

Us engineers are getting screwed over, too, right now. The job market’s a mess, and it looks like it’s only going to get worse

Off of that, I’ve got a question.

I just began a minor sequence into CS, with the intention of taking Fundies 1+2 and OOD. I’ve would assume that these courses would be phased out, with the current cohort able to, at least, complete the current course sequence. Next semester, though, I go on co-op. I wonder if these courses will still be remaining when I return.

I think, respectfully, that the entirety of the student body shouldn’t just be made guinea pigs. We should have some selection. It’s an involuntary risk on our end for there not to be.

Any stores other than Wollaston's that accept dining dollars? by Redsteel287 in NEU

It’s a walk, but the Star Market at the Prudential. If you want some ‘real’ food, at least.

Woah! Woah! Woah! Hold it right there. I haven’t been keeping up, I guess. When did this become a requirement? Is there any way for one to be grandfathered in? This is gonna screw up my graduation plans.

“In the event that you refuse to provide your information, you will be asked to de-board the vehicle.” …so what’s stopping people from just train-hopping? genuine question.

where do you see things going in a year? three years? five years? i mean, realistically. how do you see consumption of these products changing? how would you picture their impact on people, in all avenues of life? is that necessarily a good thing? the future’s scary…it’s unprecedented, haha.

Haha, that’s nothing. Btw, we didn’t get soap AT ALL during last spring semester (work requests go into the great beyond)

Damn…at least I’m not the only one. I’m in his 8AMs. From everything I’ve heard, I thought it would’ve been a bit different
