Despite all that I tried, I ended Dale's CS288 with a D (51 when C is 56). Now if I wanna graduate in time I have to take his summer class. My parents lost their faith in me. Anyone else in the same boat?

Sorry to hear. Since you were so close this time, you're bound to get it done this next time around since you already are familiar with the material. Just reevaluate, patch up your weaker spots, and keep practicing is all I can say
You’re not missing anything this market is ass anyways
Keep grinding at the class, now you know which parts you need to do better on hopefully. You got this we believe in you😮
Yup CS is either you got the easy professor or the hard professor. Summer class will hopefully be successful for u.
I'm sorry to hear that. I had to retake this class, and trust me, I know/relate to the struggle (I took it with Ding). IMHO, he wasn't an effective lecturer, but i learned a lot from Dale, and the cheat sheets were absolutely helpful . The exam questions were also fair, imho. I spent a lot of time studying for the midterms, so I didntidn't have to worry too much in the final and I came out with a grade I'm proud of. Making a cheat sheet for the final was a bit more annoying because of MPI/threads.
Didn't have to*
For reference, my goal was to get above a 50 on both midterms, and then I wouldn't need to be as stressed for the final. I ended up getting 50s on all exams and needed a 24 to pass, which is the BEST feeling for this class. I wish you luck!
Definitely not an easy class no matter who you take it with, but Dale is the best professor for 288 in my opinion. I noticed that he takes some of his exam questions from old exams on coursehero lol. You really just wanna try to score in the 40s on all three exams. I’ve taken Ding and trust me, Dale is much, much, easier. I got a 51 on the first midterm, 39 on the second midterm, and a 44 on the final. Passed with a C+. Definitely take it again with Dale since you’re more familiar with the material and you should have no problem passing this time!
No sweat man pick yourself up. Congrats on having the attitude to keep going despite the minor setback, it showcases resiliency. Colleges and high schools implant the idea of college being this 4 year plan. However, that’s simply not realistic for most individuals.
It’s okay to take more than 4 years as long as you know you’re putting forth your best work. Who cares if it takes 5 or even 6 years. Just because a lot of people travel a specific route doesn’t mean you have to condemn yourself to that same route.
Yea I spent a week straight putting 5-10 hours per day into studying and I still got a 36% on the final. I'm so over CS288.
Did you end up passing? Or was the 36% on the final not enough to pass? Imo as long as you pass it’s still a win.
I failed so I gotta retake it now.
