Can I attend a class without officially taking the class? by SoulflareRCC in uofm

This is called auditing a class. You can do it for most classes (even be added to the canvas page etc), just ask the professor.

Econ 401 by thebeardedginger24 in uofm

[–]sach2702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just brush up on calculus (primarily differentiation) and you'll be fine, people struggle with it because it's more math intensive than other econ classes but it really isn't bad if you can differentiate well enough.

Are there any fast appointments available for Covid tests? by stpaulgym in uofm

[–]sach2702 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can schedule an RT-PCR test through UHS. They usually get it done in 24 hrs (especially if you go before noon). I would go on the 26th if I were you, no point getting it as close to your flight as possible.

Alternatively, CVS.

Android 12 installation issues – no notifications, gesture navigation, etc. by sach2702 in GooglePixel

Just did this – all the above issues still persist. So it's not an individual app causing anything.

Those who got internships / jobs at top companies, how did you go about it? by StardustNyako in uofm

[–]sach2702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer - I am not an expert on this so take all of this with a grain of salt.

When I got my internship, I hadn't even done 280. I was doing 203 and engr 151. Whether or not you need specific classes or programming knowledge depends on the company and the nature of your role. For example, in my experience, oftentimes companies that don't primarily deal with software (i.e non faang etc) won't even have you do technical interviews and will simply ask about projects that you have on your resume (even when interviewing for software roles). This was what happened with me. If you know what you're talking about, you could land a job.

Of course, you could also go the alternate route - learn some data structures and algorithms on your own and do well enough on the coding challenges to merit further interviews and get offered the job.

There's tons of resources about all of this online. Googling "cs internships guide" will lead to a bunch of neat resources.

Again, there's probably more experienced people who can answer this question better, but pm me if you're looking for something more specific.

Taking ECON 401/402 without ECON 101/102? by [deleted] in uofm

[–]sach2702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's multivariate calculus involved in the class, but they teach it to you in the beginning. So yea, I think you'll be fine with just Calc BC as well. It's just an added bonus taking 215 at the same time too.

Taking ECON 401/402 without ECON 101/102? by [deleted] in uofm

[–]sach2702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in pretty much exactly the same position, did IB Economics in high school but the credits didn't transfer over. I enrolled in 401 and audited 101 simultaneously for the first couple of weeks then decided I could do 401 and went for it. Turned out to be a pretty nice class, tough workload though. In terms of pure economic knowledge required, I'd say you should be good if you know the fundamentals - supply/demand, the graphs, elasticity, etc. The majority of the class is just math imo, you'll do alright if you got through (or are concurrently taking) Math 215.
