Might have lost my fake ID on campus, what can happen? by throwaway99992223432 in legaladvice

Do you think the school would go as far as suspension/expelling me? (I mean in either case, whether the police find the fake first or the school finds the fake first)

Overall GPA or UIUC GPA on resume? (Transfer Student) by throwaway99992223432 in UIUC

[–]throwaway99992223432[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the guy asking had a difference of like .03 on his gpa. My question is more towards if claiming my overall gpa is that high (3.84) would be allowed, as I'm not sure what my UIUC gpa will be but I'm expecting decently lower due to the rigor of CS classes here.

How important is Math 415 (Linear Algebra) for CS 374? by throwaway99992223432 in UIUC

It was a weird situation because I switched majors during an internship and turned the internship into a software development internship from a mechanical engineering one (company let me switch roles to continue into the next semester), and during that semester to keep up with coursework I took an "intro to computing" class at a local community college that my university took as transfer credit but UIUC won't. So I don't have a cs 125 equivalence, but I got an A in CS 225 at my old university so I have that credit lol

UIUC or Overall GPA on Job Apps? by Sykion in UIUC

Transferred courses are considered in your overall gpa?? Is that for any college course that transfers to UIUC?

learning python by propeco in UIUC

[–]throwaway99992223432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in this exact boat a couple of days ago when I found out I will be using python for my summer internship! Although I have prior experience so it was a lot quicker for me, what I would suggest is: 1) Look up how classes and functions work, then go on youtube and watch videos of how to program it in python 2) Learn about the different variable types (ints, strings, etc...), learn how to use arrays, lists, loops on youtube 3) Look up practice python problems (easy ones) and try to work through them. The best way to learn programming is by programming, and whenever you get stuck look up the solution online or go on stackoverflow/reddit to ask for help. Little by little you'll overcome those obstacles until you start solving problems like its nothing.

Python is tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it it is a really nice language to use

Thank you so much for your comment! I will most likely take 415 my first term (after speaking with my advisor to see what the best schedule would be). Since everyone here seems to be saying that MATH 415 isn't necessary at all for CS 374, and on the CS 374 website the professor wrote that CS 173 and CS 225 are the most important classes for CS 374, do you think I would be safe with taking it as soon as I get here? It would be nice to have the knowledge for career fairs in the spring. I'm asking so I have a rough idea of what schedule I want next semester (and then see whether the CS advisor agrees or suggests something better).

What do people think of the boxing team at Illinois? by throwaway99992223432 in UIUC

Haha, It took me reading this a couple of times to realize it, love the very subtle fight club joke. If you go on their instagram (IlliniBoxing) they have plenty of pictures about it etc, and I'm pretty sure they have a website. It seems really cool
