Max posted a Joseph Anderson meme while I was gone, nice

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:13 PM banned-users

Also Pika, I think my school did an orientation weekend for the freshman

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:14 PM banned-users

First day on campus was Thursday or Friday, and classes started Monday

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:14 PM banned-users

i had a welcome weekend, but orientation was during the summer

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:15 PM banned-users

Are those different?

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:15 PM banned-users

Maybe I'm forgetting, but what do you even do for orientation?

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:15 PM banned-users

I know for undergrad they threw a big concert/rave every semester

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:15 PM banned-users

But I don't remember anything...productive getting done

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:16 PM banned-users

for orientation we learned school policies, curriculums, picked classes and explored campus

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:16 PM banned-users

Aren't those tours?

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:16 PM banned-users

there were some tours yes

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:16 PM banned-users

I mean, I thought you did most of that when you toured campus as a high schooler

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

for the welcome weekend we took a class picture on the football field and had a block party with free food

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

it was friday and saturday

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

we did tours and group teambuilding exercises

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

yep, team building with people i never met again

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

I did not go after the first couple days because I quickly realized it was a waste of time

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:17 PM banned-users

I had fun at mine, as best as I can remember

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:18 PM banned-users

I know I snuck in and did them again as a sophomore/junior

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:18 PM banned-users

there was only like, 1 mathphys person and I have never seen them again

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:18 PM banned-users

so I think they dropped

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:18 PM banned-users

i was bored out of my mind but i had to do it so i could register for classes

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:18 PM banned-users

everyone else was buisness science

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:20 PM banned-users

I know I could look it up, but does UWaterloo have a good graduation rate?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:20 PM banned-users

idk

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:20 PM banned-users

I know it's a selective school, so I imagine it does

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:21 PM banned-users

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:21 PM banned-users

I know a lot of people do not make it through physics and drop into general science

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:21 PM banned-users

majoring in general science

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:21 PM banned-users

Man, I'm slow today it would seem

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:22 PM banned-users

physics is under physical science which is probably quite a bit lower than the 75.9 it is showing

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:22 PM banned-users

since physical sciences also has some easier degrees

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:22 PM banned-users

I'm surprised cs is that much lower than normal engineering

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:22 PM banned-users

interesting how the Engineering grad rate is so high

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:23 PM banned-users

Depends which programs they have

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:23 PM banned-users

optometry 100%

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:23 PM banned-users

cs is prob out best program at this school

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:24 PM banned-users

school of optometry is also very good

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:24 PM banned-users

and the only one or one of two in canada iirc

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:24 PM banned-users

very selective

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:25 PM banned-users

i wonder how many competent CS grads you actually produce

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:25 PM banned-users

^

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:25 PM banned-users

selectivity doesn't mean you get people who can think right

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:25 PM banned-users

CS programs are weird in general

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:25 PM banned-users

just people who can memorize rules

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:26 PM banned-users

being able to write code that can solve specific problem does not mean you wrote GOOD code to solve the problem

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:26 PM banned-users

I know a good number of CS grads, most of them say the same thing, That it's clear from day 1 who will be the top of the class, and who will scrape-by or wash-out

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:27 PM banned-users

stackoverflow

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:27 PM banned-users

unroll all of your loops

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:28 PM banned-users

write everything in a single function

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:28 PM banned-users

use for loops with a pass as a timer

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:28 PM banned-users

most people just go straight into the workforce

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:28 PM banned-users

from cs

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:28 PM banned-users

so idk

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:29 PM banned-users

Entry level pay for CS grads is shit, because most companies don't know what quality of coder they're getting

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:29 PM banned-users

and they get jobs where they need to make things work, but not work well or innovate

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:29 PM banned-users

Though CS has one of the higher 3-year out average salaries

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:30 PM banned-users

iirc cs coops from my school make anywhere from minimum to 30 an hour typically depending on the job

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:30 PM banned-users

Is Canada a country that always computes wages as a per hour rate?

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 2, 2018 5:30 PM banned-users

I know that's a regional thing, differs country-to-country

legorhin Apr 2, 2018 5:30 PM banned-users

i made 18 an hour for my internship that i literally sat in front of a computer watching TED talks every day because they never gave me any work

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 2, 2018 5:30 PM banned-users

I mean, that's what I do
