Periodic Update

Mar 11, 2009 17:59

I apparently have issues with this whole "using LiveJournal regularly" thing. I do want to use LJ more frequently in shorter bursts instead of very infrequently in long bursts.

So, things of interest in no particular order:

I'm currently up in McLean, Virginia (outside of Washington DC) staying with my grandmother for a week. I've been doing this ( Read more... )

Hey there, I'm a senior CS major, I randomly found your blog some time ago ( ... )

Shaddi and I both had David A. for 547. It was very easy, but I did not learn very much. That might be that class always. Also, some stats:
-I added that class 2 weeks late.
-I stopped showing up to class after Fall Break.
-I showed up to the final 15 minutes late (/this/ was an accident)

=> B for Maggie. Could I have done better w/o much more effort? Absolutely.

It isn't to say that I didn't learn anything with Plaisted, it was just not very challenging with exams unless you didn't do the practice exams before or didn't attend class. You'll still learn everything you'll need to know: O(n) time, BSTs, sorting, etc. etc. His course page is here: http://cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/comp550/ In other words, an easy A if you show up ( ... )

You sound like my roommate: classics major, now double major with french who has also taken some german and knows some basic spanish. He picks up on languages very easily. I was just happy to finish up spanish as quickly as possible.... I love learning languages, but not for a grade. :) I really would like to spend some time and learn sign language, have a friend at ASU who is taking a signing class.

If you are interested in Euro History, I can recommend:
Chad Bryant: I took Eastern Europe since 1780 and currently taking World since 1945 from him
Chris Browning: I took Holocaust from him. I would highly recommend this class to anyone, he also has a higher level class about the topic too (more focused?)
Jim Leloudis: NC History since 1875. Not European, but more relevant to me since I've lived in NC all my life. I've been learning a lot of interesting things about the state, plus a lot of it ties in with University history.

And I also just made you an LJ friend so you can HTTP authenticate this RSS feed and get my protected posts as well. I have a mix of both, so now you can get access to all of them.
