I used to use the lunchbox app prepandemic that gave deals depending on the day/restaurant around campus. You can find it on Google Play here
Wow, you are well prepared!
The only additional things that I would recommend are:
Get an ENCS-approved calculator. (Some info on that here: http://aits.encs.concordia.ca/helpdesk/faq/Miscellaneous/Calculator_info_sheet_print.pdf)
Prepare your laptop/computer. Make sure everything is up to date. Download Eclipse or some other IDE because you will need one for your programming classes. Maybe download LaTeX too (http://www.latex-project.org/) - depending on who your COMP 232 prof is, you may need to hand in your assignments electronically and type them up using LaTeX.
Get your booklist and search online for textbooks. The textbook for COMP 248 (Absolute Java) and the textbook for COMP 232 (Discrete Mathematics and its Applications, Seventh Edition, by Kenneth Rosen) are available online as PDFs. You should be able to find them by doing a quick Google search.
Welcome (back) to Concordia!
This is generally bad advice.
Common sense gets you most of the way there, sure, however most infections nowadays happen through exploits in software you have no control over (your OS, your browser, some plugin somewhere, etc). Lots of clever malware can hide within legitimate looking downloads because of infected third party sites/servers. Infections can come from within your home network or public ones such as school via other infected PCs (or the new IoT craze). Infected USB drives, deceitful emails, popular new torrents, etc.
If you'd rather not run security software, that's fine, but recommending everyone do the same is bad. At the very least, keep MSE enabled, which has improved in recent versions of Windows. There are free, decent AV solutions such as Avira and BitDefender which can do job as well. Unless your computer is really slow/old, there really should not be much impact in regular use outside of a system scan, anyway.
Dr. Ng is absolutely brilliant. He is very passionate about thermodynamics and cares about his students. If you take him, you are in good hands.
PRO TIPS: ENGR 251 is a course which requires a lot of problem-solving. Be ready to spent a considerable amount of time doing exercises from the book. In the beginning of the semester, learn how to interpret some of these relevant tables found here http://web2.clarkson.edu/class/me310/Links/Thermodynamic_tables_SI.pdf During the last weeks of the course, the material becomes a little heavier with the introduction of thermodynamic cycles (Rankine, Brayton, Otto, Diesel) which usually constitute more than half of the exam. Tables are then vital to your success!
LAST PRO TIP: Never ever skip class or tutorials!

The details of the assignment are on the Reading Like a Writer Power point on moodle. Here is some of the specifics on the assignment slide:
- Your paper should be at least three pages long and at most five pages long.
- The paper should bE typed, double-spaced, use 12 point, Times New Roman font with one inch margins, and it should include a title page with the title of the paper, your name, student ID#, date, and the name of your TA and tutorial section.
- Papers will be worth a total of 10% of your final grade.
- Essays should be handed in at the beginning of lecture on thursday, March 3rd.
Then you need to hurry the fuck up. Have a look at this Stanford Automata Course, and this YT Theory of Computation playlist. The 1st one is pretty close to the syllabus, the 2nd one is less dry but not as close.
Hurry up, study hard, we can do it! YEAH!!
Check library genesis with the titles of the materials you need and look through the list to find the same edition / publisher / author / etc.
for COMM 205 here is the book, I think. this is the page where I downloaded it
Audi used to have lots of problems. Quality has improved tremendously in the last few years. Here is a link if you're interested: http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/highlights-consumer-reports-2015-annual-auto-reliability-survey/
Advice /ədˈvɑɪs/ is a noun and means a suggestion about what someone should do. It is uncountable:
>Let me give you some advice*: stay away from Margaret.*
>
>Not: ~~Let me give you an advice~~
>
>She gave him a lot of advice*, but I don’t think he listened.*
>
>Not: …~~a lot of advices~~ …
If we want to use advice in a countable way, then we use the phrase a piece of advice:
>I have two pieces of advice for you about the holiday.
We use the verb advise /ədˈvɑɪz/ to mean ‘to give someone advice’:
>I strongly advise you to lose weight.
>
>They finally did what we advised.

In case you weren't aware, you can look up these teachers on http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ to read reviews written by other students.
I haven't has these teachers yet, so hopefully the website or someone else will be able to help.
Most of the religion courses are writing intensive, so your best bet is that. You can also take English classes, including ENGL 224, with this guy:
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=69841
Politics is also writing intensive, but note that there are essay finals. But note that restricting your electives to only papers is not something good, considering the fact that you may not like all the subjects with a paper component. In addition, silly and small grammatical mistakes cost you a ridiculous amount of marks.
COMP 345 depends on what you make of it, and it really is all about the project. Depending on the prof you get (and really, Concordia CS has a pretty shitty reputation so you're more than likely to get a bad one) the lectures might be worth attending or not; they're not mandatory anyway. The assignments are useful, but I found that they did not adequately prepare your for the project, despite their purpose being to get you started on the different requirements it ultimately demands.
The course itself is very interesting if you have no previous experience in C++. If you do, you'll probably find the first few assignments trivial, but the challenge does increase as soon as you get to design patterns. Going in knowing nothing about the language, I found that the biggest challenge to be the familiar-yet-different feel I got from Java; at first glance, the differences appear to be so subtle that I often wondered what the point was to use one language over the other. The difference between the languages is soon obvious enough. You should get used to learning by yourself and reading from the doc pages of cplusplus.com and tutorialspoint.com's C++ tutorials.
Overall, it's a learning experience that does require a lot of your time, especially if you have no previous experience; there's a reason why it's a 4-credit course despite being a 300 level class. Despite this, I found the material I learnt and the experience I got with the project to be completely worth it in the end.
The form seems to limit the webcams to faculty and staff. Unless the laptops come built in with one
You have three prices to pay on three different websites two of which are completely useless, information and guidelines on three different websites as well. The powerpoint presenation is dated from 2013 with errors and slides that no longer apply. The teacher rambles about efficiency in his introductory video's, becomes unreachable and the TA's take a week to respond (they wont answer your questions until you've paid for all three websites). You basically have to log onto all three sites 2-3 times per week, complete the assignments and quizzes, some quizzes are based on excel and access but if you don't click EXACTLY in the same order the teacher wants to you fail the quiz. The final is MC at the school with questions from an online 1000 page book, some questions are arbitrary and once all that is completed the "teacher" will take 2 months to enter your grade. The excuse you will get is that some 500 students took the class and grading takes time, which makes you doubt his whole efficiency three-website-cluster-fuck of a class.
And the reason 500 students register for this class every semester is because its a pre-requisite for JMSB and you might have to take it a second time once you figure out this cluster fuck to get that A.
Saade Rafaat is in the top 10 worst teachers of Concordia, read the student reviews on various rate my professor like website.
If you want to go by public transportation (10-15$) or uber (30$+), I suggest that you use the app transit. This app will let you enter your destination point and will use your phone location to find the starting point. It will then suggest you many public transit routes based on the departures on bus/metro. I use this app on a regular basis and it works really great. Don't be nervous you will get there. Have fun at Concordia.
That's incredible dedication, good on you. To compliment Duolingo try our app usefluent.co for more practice throughout your day without having to spend any extra time studying.
For conversations I've heard really good things about this app called Tandem where you can pair up with other people wanting to learn a language as well and practice through video chat. Check them out maybe Tandem
k Let me clarify this. With really big companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook etc. They make you go through 5-7 rounds of interviews. Each round is very difficult, they ask you data structures and algorithm questions that require solving techniques that you do not learn at Concordia. You gotta learn them on your own (you can use leetcode.com).
​
What makes it harder is that every interviewer has different expectations of you which you are unaware of. It takes a stroke of luck to be able to wow all 5-7 of them. All interviews are done on whiteboard, so if you forgot 1-2 lines of code then good luck re-writing everything in the limited time frame given to you. You need to do well on all of these interviews btw. And the interviewers are regular employees who are forced to do this and would rather be doing something else. Some are rude, some don't even listen when you talk, and others are working on their user stories / doing code review while you talk lol.
​
These companies would rather pass on a good candidate than hire a bad one. The cost if hiring a bad candidate far exceeds the opportunity cost of losing a good one. This is because of how many people apply. (for scale, google interviews 50 people a day at mountain view).
​
Most companies do not have a hardcore crazy process like the one mentioned above although many of them follow Google's initiative in asking these crazy problems to solve that you will never encounter in the real world.
If you want to learn, now is easier than ever to pick up some programming languages for free, the one I like is Codecademy. You just follow along the instructions, and each segment is only a few minutes long. It's just like a mini-game. If you do this everyday, I think you will get some fundamental in no time. Reddit also have quite a few subreddits that are helpful for beginners.
I think there is an advantage to know even a bit of programming for everyone, who knows, maybe you need to talk to someone who code when you work.
I plan to move to Vancouver after I graduate, but I heard they don't pay that well in comparison with the living standard there, but I think I will have enough.

Use promo code "Iamap*ssy" to get your free stickers! Congrats
Is this what you're talking about?
I noticed it vanished recently, but it's not for ENCS.
I'm pretty sure the one you linked is used school-wide (minus slight changes), but as /u/wtfisthisidontevenkn said, it's up to the prof to decide what your letter grade is and if there's curving, the percentages are irrelevant.
This is the calculator you would want. Hands down best one.

Read through the comments, and decided from there. Seems the latter is more popular among their students, however.
Can't speak for 233, but his reviews for 361 are rather accurate.
I'll give him this: One-on-one he's pretty decent and willing to help.
I would not take a Summer course with him.
Concordia's OneDrive seems to be disabled or not set up. You can log in at https://onedrive.live.com/ with your @live.concordia.ca address but the OneDrive link in the navigation bar appears greyed out.
248 is fortunately super easy to find good examples for. I took the class a while ago, but this is a resource we use later for interview practice. https://leetcode.com
Should have some good questions that use what you’ve learned.
No problem. Thanks. Yes, I interned at one.
Co-op interviews were honestly great for building confidence and honing soft interview skills. For the technical aspect, I practiced solving problems on Leetcode.com, read the book Element of Programming Interviews, and did some mock interviews online a few weeks before my onsite. You typically need to apply early - Summer internships at FAANG are filled in the Fall of previous year almost a year in advance. I was caught off-guard by that timing at first and I messed up 2 interviews because of I wasn't expecting a callback and didn't prepare.
When I needed help and extra resources, I went to UWaterloo's subreddit. People there were very helpful.
You have the choice to either pick it up from SGW or Loyola.

I will teach you SOEN 6481 and I will teach you gooooood.

- Install XMing (http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) and PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html)
- In PuTTY, SSH to login.encs.concordia.ca, but before connecting, go to Connection>SSH>X11 and check the Enable X11 forwarding and set the X display location to localhost 0.0 (you can save this configuration for future uses on the original screen)
- Connect and login with ENCS username and password.
- Type "matlab &" and press enter.
This has worked for me.
I figured, but I was asking for the reference. This is an overreaction. I found it myself in any case https://www.kapwing.com/explore/pelosi-rips-trumps-speech-meme-maker
I have the pdf if you need it. The pdf is a scan of the book, some chapters are missing but I think all the chapters covered by the teacher are in there. You can download it here:
​
Please share it with everyone, there is absolutely no reason for people to pay for that overpriced pile of garbage.
I am not so sure about that.Yes,it is for math204.
This is the textbook I think https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Linear-Algebra-Howard-Hardcover/dp/B010WFPFFC
And this is another (applications) version https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Linear-Algebra-Applications-Version-ebook/dp/B00HRH3Q7S
Just hard to figure out the differences
Sounds good, thanks!
I did very well in 248, but I got kind of lazy nearing the end. Plus I found outputting the * and triangle patterns to be pretty annoying and demoralizing.
I thought "if I'm having trouble with simple stuff like this, what hope do I have for more advanced courses?". Which is why I want to get through Head First Java (one of the most recommended books) before tackling 249.
