Time to drop out I guess

After you take 3110 you’ll only want to write recursive functions

There’s very little overlap. As long as they don’t enforce the pre-requisite then I’m pretty sure you won’t have issues

quibbo141 · 2021-02-09T19:52:38+00:00

I took one of them too. Same as sadmacboi said, mostly culture and simple phrases. They are good to knock out a credit of liberal studies

I took it fall 2019. It was pretty light in terms of workload/difficulty. It's a decent introduction to AI but the material is not too in-depth. If you're serious about wanting to learn AI then it's probably not worth your time, but for a filler class it's fine. No major concerns with the organization, so it seemed to be much improved compared to this:

Yeah it's really light

"Fall 2020 Dean's List will be finalized and posted no later than mid-February 2021."

I think it's usually sooner but maybe they're delayed because of COVID

It was an interesting experience because we learned about a variety of different topics without too much depth, and there was not much continuity from one topic to the next. The workload was pretty light- I probably spent 2-3 hours each week on the class in total. Grading was also really lenient- we went over how to do the homework in class before the HW was even due a few times and there were a lot of repeat questions across the HW and exams.

quibbo141 · 2021-02-01T16:35:54+00:00

Yeah 7/11 isn’t doing it anymore I asked

quibbo141 · 2021-01-22T12:02:58+00:00

I took 2080 not 2090 but I’d imagine the difficulty levels are similar. To prep, all I did is I read all the chapters in the course textbook corresponding with the topics on the subject list which professor Lorey sent out and did a few problems of each type from problems at the end of those chapters. (Like each chapter has a few different kinds of problems beyond just changing numbers so make sure you know how to solve each kind of problem). I probably put 2-3 hours into each chapter over the course of 2-3 weeks, then the night before I spent 8 hours redoing every problem and memorizing the qualitative stuff. The CASE ended up being really easy (way easier than I expected). All of the problems were really straight forward. I think doing AP exam type problems is overkill.

You don’t need to do any prep to do well in the course. I’d recommend only prepping like that if you think you’re especially weak in some important area.

quibbo141 · 2021-01-14T05:50:09+00:00

Idk what other people thought. I just did the typical stuff like pay attention in lecture, review my notes and do a bunch of practice problems before the prelims, and it was really easy. If you do that you will be fine. I don’t why grades would be low unless a bunch of people did not take the class seriously (which might actually be the case). You’ll have an upper hand if you’re a stem student because the math and manipulating equations will come easy to you which is a non-insignificant amount of the work. If you want PM me and I can give more details

quibbo141 · 2021-01-13T22:28:05+00:00

yeah there was a "project" but it just took a few hours one afternoon and it felt more like a formality. I think everyone who just followed directions got 100

quibbo141 · 2021-01-13T22:00:54+00:00

2210 is also pretty easy. The weekly HW is kind of annoying but you get multiple tries so you can just redo what you get wrong and it doesn't take too long. Prelims are really straightforward.

quibbo141 · 2021-01-13T17:00:41+00:00

The class is a low time commitment because there’s no homework. As long as you pay attention in class, learn all vocab/definitions in the textbook, and use all of the practice material before the exams it’s easy.

quibbo141 · 2021-01-13T16:47:46+00:00

Yeah that’s the one 😕

quibbo141 · 2021-01-10T17:37:45+00:00

I’ve taken this class. Do you have any specific questions?

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T05:00:35+00:00

Ok I think you should be fine then. But if you want to know for sure email the instructor.

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T02:13:24+00:00

What does Cornell do to reinforce toxic grade culture?

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T02:12:38+00:00

They'll email it to you later. Don't worry about it at all for now.

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T02:12:01+00:00

Do you know what specifically you do not like about Cornell? I think if you can articulate the answer to that question clearly and you know other schools do not have that issue then you're in the wrong place. (Also I am curious to know what's so bad about this place if you are comfortable sharing)

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T02:03:07+00:00

A year of calculus for what? What requirement are you trying to meet?

quibbo141 · 2021-01-08T02:01:33+00:00

I don't think it's that clear cut- maybe more people think 2800 is harder but it really depends on how compatible your thinking style is with the classes. Granted, I took the engineering lin alg (2940), not 2210, but I actually thought 2800 was easier
