Nah, that one was pretty easy. This year, we had a pretty hard question just for normal constraints with a lot of variables (8). Hardest part was that all the constraints aren't fixed numbers, and are % of the total quantity (which can change), making it a lot trickier to code into excel for solver to work properly

GrapeDrink 11-22-2012 01:59 PM

holy ballsacks I think I got it to work, lol the answer looks wack as hell but it worksssssssssssssss I don't give a fuckkkk wooooo, hopefully I get like 5/10 :fuckthatshit:

If you have a friend in a class that is jam packed that wants to drop, you can usually get him/her to drop and add yourself quickly thereafter and get into the class, bypassing all the waitlisted people. This is how people sell spots in classes, this is also why the system is flawed

This is a post that I came across by Dhillon09, and have quick question.

I'm wait listed for KIN142, and seats are reserved until Nov24th.

Should I stay on the wait list, or should I drop and immediately enroll on that day (which is supposed to bypass all people on the wait list)?

Would this apply for labs too? I'm 2nd on the wait list, and there's one seat available. No reserved seats, but I'm afraid to lose my place the current lab that I am wait listed for if it doesn't work.

-> Edit: I have a friend enrolled in one of the labs as an attempt to save me a spot if I were first on the wait list. Although I am not first, apparently I can have her to drop the course, and right after re-enroll and beat the wait list? Don't think that works, but definitely worth asking.

Messerschmitt 11-22-2012 03:20 PM

You can't bypass the waitlist anymore, they fixed it. At least it worked properly for my class I was waitlisted. Moved up through the queue until I was enrolled

Fcukedd 11-22-2012 03:27 PM

Does that apply for both situations that I described above? I desperately need KIN142 :okay:

Quote:

The waitlist process moves students from the waitlist to enrolled status when a space opens up in the section. Spaces become available through enrollment drops or an enrollment capacity increase. When a class has spaces available, the class status remains closed until the waitlist process runs overnight. Therefore, the system attempts to move students in the waitlist before students who are not in the waitlist try to get into the class.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a cmpt sci course? For someone who has no experience and just wants to test it out to see if there's interest in it. Currently, doing a major in Kinesiology but I don't think this is the career path I want to go into... after three years ha.

bluejays 11-22-2012 03:38 PM

^120 or 165

buffon 11-22-2012 03:49 PM

Anyone need a spot in bus 207? I don't think I'll be taking it.

Is Buec 232 hard? a lot of assignments and stuff? Or is it kind of easy?

vyrospec 11-22-2012 11:20 PM

^ buec 232; math 12 probability and assignments are moderate level. watch out for high class averages (approx. 76-79%)

You can bypass the system when SIS is not updated. usually around 1-3am. So if you need to swap with a friend, the best chance of that working is during those times.

@Fcuked: I think in kin 142 there are labs? If you can get yourself into one of those labs you will be given a lecture spot (even if you are on waitlist)

edit: just read your post. If I were you, I just stay on the waitlist.

Fcukedd 11-23-2012 04:07 PM

Although there are seats available for the lab I am enrolled in, couldn't people bypass that as well and take my lab spot?

One more question,

"These restrictions remain in effect until November 24th, 2012"

Does this mean I should keep an eye out today at midnight or tomorrow night?

areyounoob 11-23-2012 04:38 PM

My question as well.
I'll be waiting at midnight tomorrow, if not tonight though.

Ahh... soo...
has anyone from the 15th slot of the waitlist gotten into the class? :suspicious: :okay:

fs604 11-23-2012 06:29 PM

wish there were more seats and sections :okay:

Messerschmitt 11-23-2012 07:49 PM

Looks like Educ100 is always full, long before it even gets released to the general public. Can non-BGS education students ever be able to enroll into it?

Guess I kinda answered my question. Educ 100 is basic requirement for educ students. So looks like it will always be full and no matter what enrollment date you get, the department restriction to release seats will never get you to enroll.

On the other hand, I love their degree (not arts, not science, but general studies), and how you can pick ANY course to satisfy the 120 credits to graduate. It must be a glorified high school diploma or something.

yray 11-23-2012 08:44 PM

^ I could've got in to it :troll:

Fcukedd 11-23-2012 08:51 PM

@mwoo

Because I have a dinner to attend tomorrow, and I might have to end my plans early..but if anyone can confirm that'd be great.

I'm still stuck between whether I should just stay on the wait list (position 41/7X) or risk losing my spot and hoping the bypass thing works...

:okay: fuckkkk why is enrolling so stressful
