Machine Learning

Learned next to nothing in this course. It had 15 assignments, and 10 of the highest graded assignments would be your final grade. No exams.

Due to the grading policy, I only watched the course videos for the 1st half of the semester. In the 2nd half, I was just too lazy to watch them. Instead, I just looked for the github repos from the students taking this course in the previous years, copy their solutions, integrated into my code, and submit my assignment. Still have to adjust the parameters and maybe try other methods when the performance was bad, but still, I got an A+ while learning minimal new skills and knowledges.

I hate machine learning btw. Hate to say this as it sounds retarded but I much prefer being a web dev, building things myself and knowing wtf I’m doing. Just wish MLEs don’t get paid that much.

Normally, the sophomore year is the busiest year of NTUEE, but I’m actually busier this semester.

Last semester is the hardest semester of the first 4 semesters of mine, but I still managed to go to both Taekwondo club and Judo club (and the football team of our department of course). However, in the bottom half of this semester, I only managed to go to a total of 1 time to Taekwondo club and Judo club (still played football week-in-week-out tho).

Before, I could spent all my time not doing coursework related things on extracurricular activities, but this semester, I also had to do what my boss from my internship wanted me to do and some internship preparations, like writing resume, cover letters and leetcoding, and these things took a lot of my time. Actually, during final exam weeks, the subject I’d spent most time on, is leetcode.

About the courses I took, they’re generally much easier and funner than the mandatory courses in the first two years. Therefore, even though I wan’t less busy than before, I’m definitely much happier.

Below I’ll write some thoughts about the courses I took. Note that they are not in any way intended to be helpful. I just write what I want.

EE is not useless, I am.
