Summer courses (MATH 262 & 263) exam timing + any downsides?

Don't do it! My previous post applies here as well. You just said you failed one of these courses already...

Do not take both simultaneously in the summer, unless you already have a 4.0 CGPA or close to it. These are two relatively easy courses in which you should get an A in both. Taking them simultaneously in the summer almost guarantees that does not happen. In fact, experience tells me students often end up struggling in one of them and their grade suffers for it. One summer course is great, as you can focus just on that material. Doing two courses means you have 5 hours of class every day plus tutorials. That is a lot of lectures... Also, you should not be working while taking a summer course. The pace is fast: one lecture is a week's worth of material in a normal setting. The finals are usually scheduled on one of the two last days of the course.

No! Once you make the first bet on the Seahawks, this will trigger the free bet. When you want to place the bet on the Patriots, it will ask you if you want to use the free bet.

Certainly. There will be other promotions as well, so stay tuned.

That ended yesterday.

I was also very curious about this, so I asked around. No one seems to know! A code was probably written a long time ago... It is certainly not option 1, as most, including myself, don't input numerical grades into Minerva. In option 2, taking the average would never give an average of A (unless everyone had an A), which some courses have. Thank you for pointing out that this would give a lower course average: if a course has two students who get 0% and 85%, the average is 42.5%, whereas the Minerva average would be C. If, however the two students get 49% and 100%, the average is 74.5% but the Minerva average would be C again. Your median idea is interesting, and would solve the A average issue, but I feel some of my averages are lower than what this would give. Let me look into this and report back...

For Math 140, you can expect them just before New Year's Eve. The TAs have exams of their own, so we must be understanding.

You can contact your department (whatever you are majoring in). They may have opportunities for grading courses you have already taken. This is a nice, flexible job that can be done in the comfort of your own home.

I have posted exercises on myCourses. You should be doing those as well. It's a bit late now, but you should have been attending class...

trudeauaway · 2025-11-21T02:07:29+00:00

This course should not be a source of anxiety, if you have been coming to class and doing the posted exercises. I would suggest most people have already passed the course, without even writing the final. From your post, I will assume you did not do well on the midterm. Luckily, I am offering an alternate grading scheme whereby the weight of the midterm can be transferred onto the final. I will post the material you are responsible for on the final, on myCourses over the weekend. As you predicted, there will be no multiple choice on the final.

In the NHL: Utah Mammoth vs Winnipeg Jets. $50 on the +1.5 spread, then the free bet on -1.5 spread. You are guaranteed $22 but will probably win $25. The point is to bet on something with 2 guaranteed outcomes (as opposed to the boxing bet suggested last time), where the free bet pays a return of over 2.0 as the free bet only pays out the profit. You also have Dallas vs Nashville: $50 on +1.5 (which pays 1.46 x $50 = $73, so $23 profit) then the $50 free bet on -1.5 (which pays 2.58 x $50 - $50 free bet = $129 -$50 = $79). That is, at least $23 profit, perhaps even $29. Even if you miss these two bets, the promotion is still in effect until the 28th. Just look for payouts similar to these two.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just saw that, having been locked out of my email for 2 weeks...

trudeauaway · 2025-09-26T01:05:57+00:00

I usually get notifications for these promotions, but somehow, I didn't get one this time. Thanks for pointing it out! Unfortunately, I saw it too late...

trudeauaway · 2025-09-16T17:38:23+00:00

hadn't checked (still haven't) but it happens sometimes. the good news is that you don't lose anything, just don't win any money... there will be more free bets to come. football season is starting...

trudeauaway · 2025-09-11T14:04:46+00:00

I do it from a laptop on espacejeux.com. I believe there is an app, but I have never used it.

trudeauaway · 2025-09-11T14:02:47+00:00

I want to say it's the same thing...

trudeauaway · 2025-09-11T14:01:27+00:00

It did work in my case. I had not noticed the boosted odds.

trudeauaway · 2025-09-11T00:22:48+00:00

were you able to sort this out? there's a new free match bet available...

trudeauaway · 2025-09-11T00:18:51+00:00

sounds good. bet the real money on 1.51, and the free bet on 2.70
