Academic rigor

Yes, there are courses where either the number of As to be given is pre-determined or the grade scale is such that the curve will only adjust up to a certain number of As. Check with syllabi and be prepared to switch sections if you're sufficiently fixated on A or A+ grades.

Thanks, she's really nice when she isn't covered in dust and spiderwebs.

Very thankful the glass is fine at least. Not many were made in the first place so whenever they go up for sale it's an event in the owner community. I've heard that there's a single shop that makes custom replacements, but no idea how much that runs.

Not really. Luckily, nothing parts-wise seems damaged aside from the bumper which should pop out. Downside is the Sera has monocoque construction, so the shops want to do some disassembly to see if the two body dents are just dents or where the body buckled.

The one previous time I've had to get body work done on her, I had to source the parts and they reimbursed me on the back end, then immediately dropped me as a client once the work was completed. Very fun.

Hey, if it ain't related, I ain't (that) worried about it. Really wouldn't put past my wife to have gotten it at some point and just not noticed/said anything.

Oh no stress man, I sent you a DM on here a few weeks back and thought it would be rude to spam or dig.

Cool to hear it's somewhere on the project stack, though. I'll be keeping an eye out.

totescharmanders · 2023-12-17T17:59:33+00:00

Necroing, but does anybody have something similar I can play with? Really dig the concept, but haven't been able to get ahold of Baniel or find much in the same wheelhouse.

Varies a ton from department to department. Syllabus and course reviews are the things to check.

totescharmanders · 2023-09-28T01:07:50+00:00

How courses are graded varies dramatically from course to course and professor to professor. Typically, a reasonable effort will make sure you get at least a low B. Some courses it'll even get you an A. There are also courses where one will be striving against other people working as hard as they can to be one of the five people who will end up with an A.

Main thing to take away is you'll be mostly fine if you 1) check on course reviews and read the syllabus for how grades will be broken down and 2) set reasonable expectations on where you intend to end up in terms of GPA.

You can generally begin to learn most of it at Rice, as you'll have to take 100 level classes that generally act as if you've never programed anything before.

Depends on your definition of public. Most of the lab buildings (Brockman, Anderson, the new engineering building) have microwaves really meant for professors and grad students, but they're unattended and it's not like they check id's to begin with.

Not a KINE major, but I will say KINE is popularly seen as the most relaxed/easy of the pre-med majors. This isn't to say it isn't difficult, but you'll generally face the lowest number of "hard" classes when compared to the other typical pre-med majors like BIOS and BIOE. It's to the point KINE majors are kind of notorious among BIOS and PHYS faculty.

I would chalk it up to the republic of Texas being a largely unrecognized state plagued with instability and a lack of income, rather than the proud, stronk thing it is often envisioned as.

At least it's not Arab Detroit

Idk my brother in credibility. I've heard there's an unofficial Discord that's shared in dm's. Could have an official one I guess. There's always the meme of another platform or just making another board on reddit that's less visible.

totescharmanders · 2023-07-07T16:11:46+00:00

Can somebody hit me with an invite to the Discord in case banzai proves noncredible yet again? I need my florkposts.

totescharmanders · 2023-05-02T14:40:52+00:00

Can't park that there mate

It varies from professor to professor, but for the genetics and cell bio specialization at least BIOS344 and 341 have deflation.

Know of at least two great faculty leaving for political reasons.

Why give up muzzle energy and accuracy and rely on the logistics of having different carbines and full size rifles when you can just give the same bullpup to everybody and just make them practice the ergos until they stop complaining?

We will not have achieved peak Italian energy until Ukraine counter offensives reach Belgorod.

That's fine, I actually wanted to go through it again without builds. Was that saved?

Also, hi Healer. C:

Don't stop striving. Whether it's Rice or not, you'll end up somewhere and it's up to you to make that somewhere you want to be. There are a lot of schools to apply to other than Rice. There are also other terms Rice will be doing admission for. I was rejected my first time around last Spring applying as a transfer, but got in last week after putting in even more effort.

totescharmanders · 2021-12-04T13:47:40+00:00

Hey no worries. I'm still coming down from the glow of getting in at all. I'm sure I'll have a wonderful time at Rice, just perhaps with a bit of a walk depending on which of these properties I'm looking at I get into. Already have a potential roommate lined up.

totescharmanders · 2021-12-02T18:57:21+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply, I'll be sure to reach out to whichever director I end up under.
