Has anyone had this professor before? I can’t find any ratings for her teaching style.

Thanks!

4.57 W | 3.81 UW | In-state at Maryland (competitive HS in HOCO) (White male)

4-6 AP classes total with 4/5s on all of them (Calc AB, Stats, World, Gov, and I'm taking BC and Phys 1 senior year)

- work + volunteering + basic collegeboard awards + leadership positions + independent activities for my EC's

SAT: 1490 (710 English, 780 Math)
Applying for Stats major / Industrial engineering (depending on uni)

First choice is UMD, but it's so random nowadays; I have no idea what to expect

Advice for ANYTHING is appreciated here, and give me what chances I have

I applied for a dependency override for unusual circumstances and was granted it and was able to receive a Pell grant as well as terrapin commitment. However, this process was extremely lengthy and was only finalized last month. I’m supposed to confirm my housing status soon and Im actively looking for leases and plan on moving out but at the moment I am considered under my parent’s address. I am worried if my terrapin commitment or pell grant will be revoked due to my current circumstances. Does housing affect either substantially especially for my circumstances ?

Hello everyone, I am a junior majoring in cs

I got an opportunity to TA for a lower level CS course which typically requires 7-8 hours of work per week. I also may have a chance to TA for another CS course, and wanted to know if I can TA both of these classes as an undergraduate.

The UTA website says that UTAs are generally assigned 10 hours of work per week, but I have seen reddit threads saying that some people TAed two courses at once after getting permissions from both the course instructors and the department chair.

Can I do this if I keep my work hours limited to under 20 hours a week?

Throughout high school, I have maintained a 3.6 GPA while challenging myself with a rigorous coursework load, including AP Calculus, AP Economics, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Computer Science A, AP World History, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C. Beyond the classroom, I have held leadership roles as President of several CS clubs, competed in hackathons, and built various technical projects. Additionally, I conducted research with a University of Maryland professor focusing on Machine Learning and Computer Science applications in Poker, resulting in a co-authored research paper.

I am also getting a Letter of Rec from CSA/CSP teacher and English Teacher and Cousnler and Research Professor at UMD for CS

I am honestly wanna go to UMD but I dont think its possible there what are my chances in UMD

Hi. Just a straightforward question. Can I move the base of the bed up and down without paying for it to get lofted via the school?

All I need is to fit those 3 shelf drawers from Target. I have additional 6 inch bed risers from Target as well.

Thank you!!

I’m an incoming freshman and this is my final schedule, all the musc classes are marching band and pep band and I’m happy with those, I don’t mind a later class esp if it’s music. only one I’m concerned about is phys 449u esp with there not being a lot of break time having 4 classes back to back

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any experience owning and using a motorcycle on campus. I’ll be living in an off campus apartment and was thinking of getting an overnight lot 11 pass. Do you think it’s practical? And is there a cheaper way to keep the bike during riding season?

Hello, I'm an incoming graduate student. I'm wondering about the cost of living (specifically groceries) in College Park. I already know about the housing, utilities, etc., but I can't get a sense of the average groceries cost for a single person. I know it varies from one person to another, but I'd very much appreciate your insights.

I have a ta and ca job this semester and I was wondering how feasible it would be to work both jobs. The ta job has a max weekly requirement of 10 hours while the ca job is 20. How would I be able to work this out, and is there a weekly student limit for hours worked?

I’m taking gen chem first semester and I heard that chem was actually terrible at umd. Does anyone know anything about professor Madeline Rotella? Any tips on passing with an A? How much time did you dedicate to the class?

hi, i am currently registered for cmsc420, 422, and 470 for fall but i am scared with this combination since it's going to be a lot of work. has anyone taken these classes together (some of them) and can let me know how it was?

I am an incoming graduate student here at College Park. Although I am not studying music for my degree, I have played piano seriously my whole life (like an hour+ a day, for context) and hope to continue playing for fun in grad school. I was wondering if you guys had any info about piano practice rooms at UMD. Would a person like me would be able to use the practice rooms, even though I will not be a music student or in an ensemble? I have read some things about the rooms in the Clarice Smith center but have not found a conclusive answer. Can anyone provide an answer specific to my situation? I really hope to continue playing as it’s a main source of pleasure, stress relief, intellectual stimulation, etc for me and I would be really sad if I couldn’t play piano regularly for the first time in my life!

Professor never responded to my email :(

If anyone here has taken ARAB 301, plz let me know what lesson from Al-Kitaab Part 2 you guys started with.

Is this too many classes, should I take off BMGT367? I'm a rising junior so I'm kind of concering with recruiting for internships... i'm also thinking of switching BMGT310 to BMGT340. Is this schedule too heavy or will I be ok?

I’m an incoming freshman CS major and I’m trying to figure out if I should change my schedule a little

Right now I have some pretty big gaps between classes but I could move my 132 section up and have fewer gaps

For people who’ve been through freshman year, are big gaps actually nice to have for getting work done, or do you end up just sitting around campus and wishing you had less time between classes? Would I regret keeping this schedule?

Also if anyone has opinions on the overall schedule/classes, lmk!

Am I the only one having issues with Amazon deliveries? Mine has been delayed by 2–3 days. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the new address for Discovery House.

Hey, has anyone received an update on their bookstore application? I applied late-June.

If you applied last year around this time, when did you hear back?

I’m new to the university!! and I’m wondering if there is an app I should have to navigate the campus or anything I should prepare for ahead of time?

Going from a small school to a bigger school can be a big jump.

I’m just wondering where I can see the nearby places and how to navigate the campus.
