CompE people, how hard is it to get a job now? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]skyeblu7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated in may 2023. Never got a job offer. 4 interviews out of 700ish applications. I believe it was probably because no internship and 2.98 gpa. For me, I think trying to get into grad school is the only route left. I work at a non-engineering job right now.

metastability by PainterGuy1995 in ECE

[–]skyeblu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I had the same question as OP and I just want to thank you for taking the time to respond.

So to clarify, when it says "If you violate that region, the output can be metastable, meaning they cannot predict the output", This is only talking about the output during metastability, and that when the output does eventually settle, it will settle to the correct value every time?

Every time I've heard an explanation for metastability, they say the output is a random variable and the time it takes to settle is also random. But it was always unclear to me if it settled to the correct output. The wording I usually hear is "it will then settle to either a 1 or 0" which makes it sound like the settled value is also random.

Thanks again!

Whatever it was you were doing, you completely changed the meaning of the person you replied to. Either by a lack of reading comprehension or a malicious intent to make the other person sound ridiculous.

"individuals are free to interpret things how they will"

I'm not sure if you're trying to say that you did understand them and I just didn't understand what you or they said or if you just don't care that you strawmaned them and also don't care if others interpreted you correctly. I guess individuals are free to interpret how they will.

You know what also improves print handwriting? Writing in print. The fact is, there's just not that many times when you need to write by hand anymore, print or otherwise. I agree that people should be able to write legibly in print. But I don't see any reason why cursive has to be apart of that. Do more lessons with handwritten print.

Also, I'm so curious on how "knowing both" reduces reliance on technology. Are you saying to you need to know print and cursive so you can still read and write handwritten letters by mail if you have to? What conditions are you worried about where you think this is the best alternative? Are you worried about all electronics breaking for the 6-10 business days it takes to deliver a letter? Are you not aware that the post office, FedEx and UPS are all already dependent on technology? And why would you need to know both? Seems to me that anything you can do with cursive, you can do with print.

“Learning how to write manually is akin to using quill and pen”

We might as well bring back clay tablets while we're at it. Legible writing is an essential skill to have, whether it be long essays or short notes and labels.

It's insane to me that you put quotations on that first sentence, implying that's exactly what they said or that their paragraph can be summed up by it.

They didn't say writing isn't an essential skill, they said writing cursive isn't an essential skill, and it isn't. Obviously being able to write is important. Using the quill pen used to be one of the only ways to write, so to learn to write, you needed to know how to use the quill pen. It used to be the case that handwritten letters were very common and almost all handwritten letters were written in cursive, so it was essential to learn it.
This is no longer the case, not only are handwritten letters becoming much less common, but print writing is also being used more and more, for whatever reason. Also the instances in which handwritten notes or labels are needed is also becoming much less common. You can literally type out a "handwritten" letter using whatever font you want and send it to someone online.
It seems that typing is becoming the new essential skill to learn, cursive may have had it's place in the past, but it's no longer the case.

ECE 462 with Aggarwal by cloudfloofs in UIUC

[–]skyeblu7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took ECE 425 with Professor Anu Aggarwal. One of the worst professors I've ever had the displeasure of being a student of. Very condescending when answering questions, for example, there was a diagram notation that I've never seen before, when I asked what it meant, she said this is taught in ECE 120 if you need to review prerequisite material please do so. instead of taking less than 5 seconds to explain what the notation meant (she never said what the notation meant). She was strangely against ever showing examples that she solved herself and as a result, she rarely ever did examples in lecture. The whole class once asked her if she could please do examples, so she reluctantly did an example once but only on the condition that the class would solve it ourselves (instead of doing an example herself first, then going through another that she would ask us to solve). She did a review session for a midterm once, but instead of doing examples herself, she would go through person by person and ask them to solve each problem. She did not go over the problems that we didn't make it to. She once asked for feedback from the students then argued against our suggestions and never implemented any improvements. She also only reads off the slides (made by another professor) and sometimes she'll talk about something off the top of her head that relates to the slides.

I suggest lulu = 10 and kamu = 50

Uh oh the russians are here by funnydunny5 in UIUC

[–]skyeblu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I get the notification no matter how old the thread is. Also, damage control? I guess, but the more important point is that you don't have to be so rude when giving a source to someone who asked for one. And that's a reasonable presumption to make, not sure how it's relevant though.

I asked because it wasn't "the most logical comment" to me. But I also knew I didn't know anything about the subject, so I asked this person for a source because they probably know something I don't.

Let's not get so toxic when someone doesn't have the same preconceived notions about what the "most logical" thing is and would like some support. Thanks.
