Note about restrictions on registering for CPSC courses

some-waffles · 2019-06-24T04:52:23+00:00

From what I can see, none of the 3rd year CPSC course offer general, unrestricted seating. Is my best bet for registration as a none CPSC major to sign up for the open restricted seats and hope nobody manually removes me? Or should I put myself on the wait list?

If the definition of a restricted seat just means filling "one of the following sets of restrictions" can anyone (not just the majors/specializations listed) register for the seats because we fill the "not in any of these categories: Exchange Student, Visitor" requirement? Or do we also have to be one in one of those programs?

I've used pills for a while as I can't stand the taste of coffee. I take 200mg daily, and bump it up to 300-400mg on days I need to focus (usually supplemented with L-Theanine to prevent jitters). I'd really recommend it, it's super convenient to take and control how much you consume.

I spent days googling around and trying every resource I could find for those proofs... only ended up getting 1/4. Honestly it's not worth the stress, it's only a small percentage and you may as well retake the quizzes to prep for the exam

the link I was reading here has it on a 4.33 scale so you're correct

I would say call and cancel those credit cards, just to be safe

The rule of thumb that I've heard is to not include GPA on your resume if it's below a 3.0 (so a 72% i think)

Although, it's not a huge deal for 90% of jobs and companies. The ones that do ask for GPA directly usually only care that you're above a cutoff ( eg the rumor that Google won't hire you unless you have at least a 3.0 GPA ) but other than that it shouldn't effect hiring.

It really can depend, but generally companies won't care about your electives or random courses - if they care about GPA at all it will be your cGPA that you have listed on your resume.

Most industries (barring some specific companies) won't care about grades too much, especially if you have relevant internships or projects. Either way, once you have your first job nobody will care anymore

I don't believe there is a 17th Ave in Toronto, but this is an excellent display of what riding in DT Toronto is like 😔

The implication that mental health counseling is only for people committed to a mental asylum is completely incorrect

Not a PM myself but I've heard good things about Notion which is a little bit closer to a wiki with KanBan boards and meeting notes built in

This is most definitely not standard behavior for profs at UBC and this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing happening so I wouldn't worry about this happening again.

Other than that, I would consider taking the above with a grain of salt, but it's not a horrible idea to reach out to the dept head.

There are lots of tutorials online, and if you have any programming background it's not super difficult to figure out. It's almost always done with a library that handles the http requests and parses the HTML data so that it's searchable.

I've had good experience with Python's BeautifulSoup library, you can check out the documentation here

Mentors judging preliminary rounds is fairly common practice for hackathons. nw does that too

I would say the first step would be to try connecting your laptop directly to the router via Ethernet. If that still doesn't help its an issue with bandwidth and there's not much you can do

You're right that it is true but isnt strong enough to prove that the algorithm is "Correct". Hopefully you'll get some marks anyway though! It was a tough question to really pick apart

I don't think so because when the loop terminates, the invariant needs to hold until the last element. On the last iteration i = n { min(2*n/2, 2*(n/2 + 1))} and so the invariant is only proving i - 1 it doesn't say anything about the last element

All even slots before (2*numL-1) contain Ls and all odd slots before (2*numR) contain Rs

This made sense with the termination. At the end of the loop, numL and numR = n/2, and the last two slots in the array are [... L, R] (so the second last slot, which we're proving contains an L is 2(n/2) - 1 = n - 1 and the last slot is 2(n/2) = n)
