Recruitments for Studies/Job Opportunities & Other Spammy Posts
Please do not submit posts soliciting participation in studies, job advertisements, your college MineCraft server (I'm looking at you u/TheQuadMC), or other spammy posts, UNLESS it is specifically for SCU. As a rule of thumb, if you are posting it in more than one subreddit, its a no. If you are curious whether a post is allowed, please submit a ModMail ticket. Thanks!

Listing Advice Paper for Incoming COEN/CS Students
Hi all! I wrote a paper with advice for incoming/current COEN and CS CAS students while I was a senior COEN at SCU last year.
Paper linked here: https://jrandleman.github.io/doc/CoenAdvice.pdf
Some background on myself, I was the lead engineering peer advisor and president of Tau Beta Pi (the engineering honor society), both of which regularly interface with new folks seeking advice. As such, I thought I'd compile it all in a paper while such was fresh in my mind. Designed as a paper I wish I could've read as a Freshman, I hope it brings value to folks :)
Please also keep in mind this is 100% my own personal perspective, and that many others have found great success in the program(s) by following a completely different path. This is just what worked for me, and hence I thought I'd share.
I'm also currently a Master's COEN student at SCU, so feel free to reach me at [jrandleman@scu.edu](mailto:jrandleman@scu.edu) if you have any questions!
Last note: I've marked the flair as "listing" given this could be construed as listing advice š¤·

Question Has anyone taken Linear Algebra I (AMTH 245) with Aaron Melman?
Hey everyone!
Please let me know if anyone of you has taken this course in previous quarters. I was wondering about his final and mid exams. How difficult are they and if anyone has sample paper that would be really helpful.
I have seen mixed reviews on internet.

Question Does Santa Clara accept online math courses for incoming transfer students?
Iām planning to apply to Santa Clara University as a transfer student for Accounting through Leavey. I already completed Calculus I at De Anza, but I took it online.
SCUās website says: āFor current students, the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics do not accept online courses for transfer credit.ā
Does ācurrent studentsā mean students who are already enrolled at SCU and take an online class somewhere else afterward? Or does it apply to incoming transfer students who completed an online math class before transferring?

Question Even though this site is obviously AI made, what do yall think?
Came across this in my scu inbox; it seemed like an official company, but looked at their website and then back at the email, the AI-driven nature of the pictures and layout was apparent. Not saying this as an "AI bad" thing, but everything I've seen looks like it was generated in a couple of prompts with little effort. Is there anyone who signed up for it and is willing to talk about their experience with it as a service? That would be really insightful. Thank you

Question Public study/work spaces and food pantry resources near Santa Clara University?
Hi everyone! I recently moved to Santa Clara and live very close to Santa Clara University. Iām new to the area and would appreciate some local recommendations.
Are there any places on or near campus that are open to the general public where I could sit, study, or work on my laptop for a few hours for free? Ideally, Iām looking for somewhere with Wi-Fi, power outlets, and indoor seating. Iām not an SCU student, so I would also appreciate clarification about which university buildings or libraries allow public access.
I also wanted to ask about food-assistance resources in the area. At my previous university, there were small food pantries in the library and community food distributions organized by the university or nearby churches. Students and, at certain locations, members of the public could receive snacks or a limited amount of groceries.
Does SCU or any nearby church, community center, or nonprofit offer something similar to local residents who are temporarily unemployed? I want to be respectful of eligibility requirements and would only use resources that are intended for the general community.
Thank you for any recommendations!

Question CPSY SCU
Questions for current SCU CPSY grad student, i am in my first semester and trying to plan out a holiday in December. For CPSY 200 and CPSY 218, Is it likely to have an in person exam during final week? For people that have taken the class is it usually a final essay-like assignment or is it a sit-down exam in person or some other in-person project? Thanks!
