#ridesharing

Hi guys I am planning to go on a one day trip to either SF or Carmel by the Sea tomorrow (November 10 2024) or Monday (November 11 2024). Does anyone want to hop on this plan? We can share rides and maybe even have a little fun trip together!

Any other options? Only 2/3 of my professors can give me an incomplete grade

My brother attempted to take his own life for the second time last week. I get accommodations from SDC but my disability has become unmanageable under the stress of this. Once my symptoms flared up I immediately contacted my healthcare team. I spoke with them and we’re trying to get my symptoms under control again.

Two of my professors will allow me to take an incomplete because I completed over half of the coursework for the quarter, except for a midterm I need to at least pass next week. I have done well in those classes, getting mostly A’s on my work. But for the other class it’s still just too early in the quarter.

I’ve spoken with advisors, my instructors, and some of my peers on what to do. I really want to avoid a retroactive drop or withdrawal because I can’t afford to retroactively lose financial aid for this quarter.

Do you guys know what other options I have to try besides an Incomplete or Retroactive Drop/Withdrawal?

Switching Math Major within the same department?

I’m a Mathematical Analytics and Operation Research major but I want to switch to Mathematical Scientific Computational major next quarter. I just wonder how hard it is to switch major within the same math department? What is the process like? I’m a second year now but haven’t had any chances to take preparatory subjects such as MAT 21ABCD yet cause I’ve been on the waitlist multiple times. Do I have to take these courses before switching to another major in the same department? I’m not sure whether I have to fulfill any prerequisites before switching and it is too late to switch major now during my second year? I’ve been taking GE courses and sure that I want to switch to other math major. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks

STA 130A with Prof Can Le

Hey! I'm planning to take STA 130A next quarter and wanted to get some insights on Professor Le. His recent RMP reviews are mostly positive, but I've heard mixed opinions from a few people. I'd love to hear more about him and any tips to do well in the class. Tysm!!

MTG Foundations Prerelease

Howdy folks,

Anybody interested in going to a prerelease tournament tomorrow? If you've never tried, they're pretty fun.

There's one at Davis Cards and Games (3pm) and another at Alpaca Games (1pm).

Was hoping to meetup with somebody else from UC and go together.

I'm a SAFS major, male, been playing a while. Love sealed tournies!!

What can I expect as a stipend, if I get into PhD CS? Please share yours

The website info is not very clear, it mentions that majority of funding comes from being a TA at 50%.

I found this link: https://grad.ucdavis.edu/understanding-your-student-salary

Based on it, should I expect to make $34k, before taxes? Do I have to pay tuition out of pocket, or does being a TA for 50% get us a tuition remission (even if im an international student)?

Also how hard it is to get fellowships as an international student. The funding info is so confusing, would appreciate some clarification. I really wanted to know what I'm getting into. I hope I don't have to get a loan.

PSA: If you're sick stay at home.

I had an unfortunate experience of being one class with a student that spent the entire course of Phys9A just sucking up his snot for the entire duration while sitting on the bottom right corner of the class. Please STAY HOME I DO NOT WANT TO BE SICK TOO.

Fun free Ice cream at Teaspoon

Hey everyone! I bought Ice cream from company Salt & Straw that have weird flavors for my coworkers to try. The flavors:

  1. matcha with crickets + mealworms and chocolate.
  2. Wasabi green apple
  3. butter rolls
  4. sweet potato casserole
  5. Turkey stuffing with cranberry!
  6. Pear and cheese

**As you can imagine I have a lot left as nobody wants more than a small spoon. I IF you dare to try it stop by (7pm-11pm) tonight, Saturday or Sunday for a spoon of whatever flavor you want to try for free! Ask for “otters special rock 🦦”I’ll know it’s you!

If your gonna buy a drink we are running a 20% discount for students so bring your ID, otherwise you can chill and vibe with us. Let us know if you have any song requests, I can put it on if it isn’t too crazy.

Thanksssssss

The Arboretum is a Gem

We walk the arboretum almost daily with our dog Jojo, a ball freak. Tim, one of the friendly groundskeepers offered her a tennis ball one time. Now on our walks, Jojo obsessively scouts around to find Tim to score another ball. He keeps extra balls just for Jojo. The Arboretum is the perfect place to relax and walk or sit and listen to the birds and experience the changing seasons. We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful slice of nature at the campus. Thanks Tim and all who work so hard to maintain the grounds there.

Help X. Chen, M. Sutter for NPB 110B

Did anyone have NPB 110B with these two professors? I couldn’t find any reviews for X. Chen, but the ones for M. Sutter do not look great. What was your experience like? Any advice on getting an A?

Thank you!

Switching into CS CoE from L&S

Hi all.

Does anyone have any experience with transferring into CS in CoE if your above the 135 unit limit? Lets say 160-170 units? Having completed all prereqs with all As (36A-C, 20, 50). How would a well written/reasoned appeal fare? Or is it just an auto deny.

Im not enjoying what Im studying and really hoping its not to late to do the thing that Ive always enjoyed and done well at, due to poor decision making.

Thanks!
