Who’s old enough to remember they used to have a grade disbursement website that shows which teacher gives out how many As Bs Cs Ds?

I was at UMBC in 2006-2010 there used to be a website that shows this information, then we will know which professors gives out easy A and which professors will give us a harder time and give out more Cs

I am not advertising my service, but just want to see what people think about this idea. Is this potentially want people may be interested?

I am interested in starting an IT boot camp for $10,000, 3 months and give people hands on experience on system administration task so can train them for $60,000 system administration jobs

I am not sure if this is viable:

Will touch base on:
Server management: Building a DNS server, file server, DHCP server, AD, printer server, GPO configuration, folder permission, security group, create different groups and department users, manage users and folder permission using GPO

Windows management: installing windows 11 from scratch, install windows drivers, join to domain

Office 365 management, exchange management, sharepoint management, azure user AD, azure enterprise application management (SSO sign on setups)

Inventory management tools

Remote support tools

These are the few tasks I can think of that I face everyday as a senior system administrator that I face every day and my salary is around $140,000 a year

Hi all,
Speaking as someone who graduated from high school with a 1.5 gpa, got 900 on SAT and rejected by state university, here’s a advice:

It’s not end of the world.

There are two ways for you to get into a state university if you have a 3.5 and higher in high school with AP classes. Most high school counselors don’t tell you this: if you have accumulated 30 AP credits (9-10 AP course in high school) you can pretty much get accepted into a state university as a transfer student.

Each state is different. Most states have a transfer agreement between community colleges and state university. I live in Maryland so I will use Montgomery college (community colleges) and university of Maryland. Transfer requirements from Community college to UMD is 30 credits and good gpa standing (3.0 and higher). Extracurricular is a plus.

So if you have 30 AP CREDITS from high schools. Apply as a TRANSFER to UMD. If that doesn’t work you apply to community colleges as early as you can even in high school. Get all your AP credit transfer into the community college, and immediately transfer as a transfer student by July to get into September.

AS A TRANSFER STUDENT, SAT are NOT required

If you have any question post what state/county you’re in and I can look up if your state has a transfer agreement.

———————————

Second method is:
Take your clases at community college for 30 credits, maintains good GPA and you can transfer without taking SAT.

This method can be accomplished by spring semester:
4 courses over summer
4 courses over fall
And 2 courses over winter

10 courses, total 30 credits

When you are in middle of winter semester you can apply as a transfer student as long as your gpa is good enough under transfer agreement.

This happens a lot where the website just won't load.

I really don’t understand what makes people think CS is IT or what recruiters allow computer science degree graduates for their jobs in IT support.

For people who are pursuing IT jobs do not get computer science degree. Taking classes to learn python, c++, java, ruby, rail, does NOT teach you how to fix and troubleshoot computer or repair a computer, or configure a switch

I’ve been trying to get a remote job for MSP technician. I have over 14 years of IT with 6 years with remote support but I can’t find a single one that’s hiring.

Is it that hard?

I have a Linux machine with the following specs:
Asus Tuf Gaming z790 plus wifi
2x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Graphics Card  (300w each)
4*64gb ddr5
4tb m.2
Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 ATX 3.0 1350W 80+ Gold

If I unplug one of the GPUs, it will boot fine into Ubuntu 26. If I plug both in, it just shows a black screen. After rebooting 3-4 times, it may or may not enter the Asus BIOS.

Monitor connected to integrated GPU for display, and both GPUs are for AI machine learning any suggestion?

There's a lot of discussion about whether a bachelor's degree from a university is worth it. Or just take online University courses? Or do you just need an associate degree from a community college?

I have done an associate degree, I have done a brick-and-mortar state university, and I have done an online master's, and this is the difference:

Assuming you don't cheat your way through college, an associate degree in a community college or online school will allow you to learn the basics of the materials; however, you will not be able to learn more in-depth materials. A bachelor's degree will allow you to learn more in-depth material for the subject. However, not that many courses will actually help you in your professional life.

The most I have gained from going to a brick-and-mortar state university is the lifelong friends I made and the opportunity to join clubs and do more hands-on work. We had a club that gave us the opportunity to participate in cybersecurity activities, giving us more experience than we learn in school. We also had a club where people met up and developed apps together.

Someone I know went to the University of Maryland, College Park, and through the people he met there, he started an app and developed a company called FiscalNote. Mark Zuckerberg developed Facebook from the people he met at Harvard, and the twins who gave him the idea; Dell was founded by Michael Dell at UT Austin; Google by Larry Page and Sergey at Stanford; Reddit by a group at the University of Virginia; and Napster was started in Northeastern. It's really about who you know and being able to connect at the same level.

An associate degree at a community college and an online university doesn't give you that opportunity. They just give you an education; that's it. When I went to community college, I went to school, took classes, and went home. There was not much school pride or extracurricular activities. Online universities are like that too.

Brick-and-mortar community colleges and universities also allow you to meet 1-on-1 with an instructor to better understand your issues with the course materials. You can also find your classmates and host study groups together. I once posted on my accounting class (part of my Information Systems degree) asking if people wanted to get together and study for the upcoming exam and help each other; over 20 people showed up. I also got people to study physics together.

In online schools, most teachers are adjunct professors who barely check their emails.

You don't "need" a brick-and-mortar state university, but it definitely gives me a life opportunity and experience I would not trade anything for.

Does UoPeople not have Calculus 2 for its computer science BS? Most schools require Calc 1 and Calc 2 (differential and integral) courses.

Why would the teacher put us in groups of 8 for the capstone course? This is the dumbest thing ever; only 3 people have actually replied (including me). Why couldn't he split it up with 2 teams of 4 people?

I am 39 years old with 2 masters and in IT for 14 years and I feel like I am going through midlife crisis. I want to change fields completely but afraid to “start over”
