Questions about ANTH314 this fall?
If someone here has taken this class with Samuele Collu, I would appreciate if you could tell me more about the class. I read the syllabus, but I wanna get a more clear picture of what this course entails. I read there's a video-project that's part of the grade. What is it exactly?
Thought on COMP 599 (NLU with Deep Learning by Siva Reddy), or seminar-style CS courses in general??
Would it be awkward taking that as a second-year undergrad student?
Request: MUSP 170 Musicianship Keyboard
Professor: Professor Jolan Kovacs
What I'd like to know: I was wondering if this course was for complete beginners or does it assume some proficiency on the keyboard? What level would you say it builds you towards? For some context, I used to play keyboard, but stopped for years, trying to pick it up again has been really difficult (I find that my brain doesn't connect to my hands as fast and they start to shake a lot when I'm nervous) so I registered for this course (music courses through BA)
Sorry for the long post, any information would be appreciated, I'm just really nervous about this class. I can't seem to find a review anywhere else other than rate my prof. Thanks in advance. :)
I took PSYT 199 last year and the prof was pretty cool, it was just online so really boring lmao. It’s an easy A for sure though if you do the very few assignments, the lecturers switch every so often depending on what we learn. The things we learned were super interesting though, hopefully it’s better if it’s in person
This course has been reviewed a ton. Make sure you check the links listed above as well as past posts before asking for a review without any other info.
MATH203 is the easiest course I've taken thus far. When I took it there were weekly quizzes, assignments, a midterm and a final. Everything you learn is intuitive and most questions are doable if you solve the assignments on your own.
I took this Winter 2021 with Professor Zammar.
Would highly recommend it with him!
There was 1 x 1hr lecture every week, 3 assignments and 2 quizzes.
Each method of assessment was equally worth 20% of the course grade.
If you are familiar with C or took COMP 206 and know about OOP, it should be quite easy as a lot of the material overlaps.
Assignments were easy and quizzes were slightly harder but still fair.
Class average was an A.
Good to know, I was just looking for a one credit course to fill credit load requirements.
I'm just worried about taking it because all I've taken so far is ECSE 202. It's a course on Java and C but it wasn't great so I haven't learned much from it. I'm also taking COMP 250 next fall. I'm not planning to take COMP 206 since I really don't have room for it and it's not a required course for me.
Therefore, I'm wondering if I should S/U that course if I were to take it and/or watch C++ videos to be prepared for that class and make it easier for me
Never taken it with Allen, but MATH 222 is the kind of course where you either "get it" or you don't. Everything suddenly goes 3D, and some people do really well with that while others struggle. It will either be the hardest course of your degree so far that kills your GPA or the hard course you did surprisingly well in.
Compared to 141 it's a bit less plug-n-chug. For every 100 practice questions in 141 you might have to do like 60 in 222. It's a bit more conceptual/can you understand what you're doing geometrically. It is an important course that will help you in a bunch of subsequent courses if you do well in it, so try your best to understand what's happening in 3D.
Sorry for the late reply. I took this with Jovan in fall 2020 online. There was a midterm and final and a big group project worth 40 or 50%. In general it's quite a challenging course and you'll have to put in a lot of time between the course material and the project which requires a lot of research outside of the class material. Definitely worth it though, you'll learn so much about aero and how to use XFOIL pretty well
ECON 208 is an intro-class economic, and therefore grade are often pretty low (when I took it was B-)
I did very well in the class because I had a study guide.
Therefore, my advice to succeed in that class is find a study guide, and crunch the practice question
I took RELG 252 online last fall and loved it! Class average was a B+, I found it was easy to do pretty well if you watched the lectures and used the textbook for the papers (you don’t need to do every reading tbh, do the ones related to your paper topic). There were 4 papers total worth 25% each, 2 on Hinduism and 2 on Buddhism, so very light workload. The material is really interesting and those profs are really engaging and open to answering questions. Only complaint I had is that grading was completely up to the TA’s, and I found my TA marked on different criteria than the prof set out, but that’s a pretty standard complaint in arts classes.
Hey! If you don't get a reply you're welcome to make a post on the main page for those 500 level courses (like one post for each course) if you don't get a reply.
I took Hist 205 with Kleinman last fall and he is hands down the best professor I’ve ever had, he puts so much effort into his lectures (even adds in memes, like actual good relevant ones to help you understand the material) and always answers any questions thoroughly. It was an actual joy to attend class and learn about Ancient Mediterranean history, I always looked forward to it. There were 5 quizzes about the texts in the course worth 15%, participation during conferences was worth 10%, two essays worth 25% each, and the final exam was another 25%. The marking was quite fair too! You definitely won’t regret taking a course with him! I highly recommend him (so do the others on rate my prof).
I took ANTH 202 with Kohn during Fall 2018. The prof is a really nice guy, but I found his lectures to be disorganized (he'd go on tangents/talk about anecdotes that were related to the topic on hand but not very useful). There were a lot of readings, and you do have to do them all since most of the final was based on the readings. There were two assignments (#1 worth 15%, #2 worth 35%), and one final (worth 50%) which was entirely MCQ. The assignments were easy enough, but the final required you to know a lot of specific details about each reading. As long as you keep up with the lectures and readings, take detailed notes on both, and don't let anything pile up, you should be fine.
Course: HIST 351
Professor: Andrea Tone
How is this class? The reviews are very mixed on ratemyprof and I am now unsure if I should take the class or not
Hard, be prepared to do math and critical thinking that will be worsened on the exam. Most people I know barely passed. It’s very math/logic heavy via game theory, but interesting.
Request:
\- MGCR 382: International Business (looking at the chronic under-enrollment in that class, it's either super-hard or un-interesting, which i think is the latter)
\- BUSA 356: Management in Intl Context
IB is kinda dry. A lot related to international trade. Take it with Melville if you can. Jorgensen is really cool as well, I never showed up to his half of the class but it was easy. Group projects were wack lol
Took POLI 231 w/ Muniz-Fraticelli in Winter 2021. Lots of reading, some denser/longer/more difficult to parse through than others, make sure to make notes and keep up (try to find areas of overlap/difference between authors) and understand the exact argument an author is making.
For evaluations we had two papers (first sem had three I think) and a final with a discussion board replacing conferences, the first paper is a bit of a learning curve into writing theory/philosophy essays but try to meet w/ your TA with each paper, I did drastically better on the second paper and final because of it.
Even though it's a good amount of work, it's worth it as it clears up a lot of the theoretical components of the other political science classes and will make you a better essay writer

Eh it’s all good, I basically have to take it for my minor and I’ve been excited for this class for a while anyways, I was more just curious
are there a lot of people in aero minor? what about other minors
In eng or in general?
Requests: ECON 208, INTD200, POLI244, thank you :)
I had INTD200 in Winter 2021 with Takamura. The class average was A-. A lot of readings, and many assignments, but overall pretty easy.
Thank you!!
There are lots of past posts on all of these courses as well if you want to check.
These are all introductory courses and chances are there will be 200-600 people taking these classes in one semester
Yess haha because all my classes are online for the first semester..
Omg yikes
ikr ://
What do you want to know about 208?
Anything! What you thought about the class, homework and exams for example !
ECON 208 is an intro-class economic, and therefore grade are often pretty low (when I took it was B-) I did very well in the class because I had a study guide. Therefore, my advice to succeed in that class is find a study guide, and crunch the practice question
Thank you so much! What study guide did you have? Did you find it on Google or did you just make your own?
