Should i study Advanced Diploma in Computer Programming & Analysis(3 years course) or should i study Bachelor of Computer Science(Honours)(4 years course) at Conestoga college ?

I know that 4 years Bachelors degree is more valuable than a 3 years advance diploma. But how much more valuable is it when compared to Advanced Diploma?. Is it really worth studying extra year and spending extra tuition fees ?(Advance diploma programs are cheaper than Bachelor programs).
I thought of opting for Adv Diploma in Computer Programming & Analysis cause i specifically wanted to learn about programming instead of learning whole bunch of things. Is 3 year Adv Diploma in computer programming good enough to get a decent job?. Don't worry, i won't opt for 2 year Diploma courses and i will choose co-op option. And if i choose 3 years Adv diploma course, can i convert that into a degree by studying extra 1 year later if i feel like it ?
Thanks a lot for your help. I was gonna apply soon. So, your help would be deeply appreciated :)
P.S, I'll also link the courses that i'm talking about.

Advancing in the studies of magic

So, what seems like it would be considered the general rate of progression in regards to learning magic of any school? Taking into account things such as birth signs, and natural talent vs the average mage, at what age would you most likely learn how to cast fireballs? Teleport? Breath under water? Heal devastating wounds or cast a simple ward? Telekinesis? Levitation? Summon up your first flame atronach?

The only real hints we’ve gotten about what can be considered β€˜beginner’ level spell are rather scarcely placed, and the only one that springs to mind is Joaune teaching Sissel (who looks to be, at best, 10) how to put out a candle or breath underwater.

So, best educated guess?

(On a more technical, gameplay related note, a decent chunk of my frustration stems from not quite knowing whether or not the Apocalypse mod having Mark and Recall as a master level spell for teleporting to five different locations makes sense from a lore perspective. I’d install a separate mod to get access to the spells at earlier levels, but I’m not sure whether that would screw around with the game, having the same spell from two separate mods)

What should I study in advance for college?

College is starting on Aug 9th and I was planning on studying in advance just so i'm a bit more prepared once classes start. My dumbass chose ABM at the last second so I don't have the prior knowledge that I could've gotten from either STEM or ICT.

Do I have a large gap to cover? Can I do enough with the time I have? I'll list the ComSci related subjects below but if there's something you think I should have a good grasp on before anything else, i'll try to do that first.

COMP 1 - Introduction to Computing

GEC-MATH - Mathematics in the Modern World

COMP 2 - Computer Programming 1 (Fundamentals of Programming)

I'm going to LPU Batangas if that helps with anything

Requesting Participants for Dissertation Study - Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in College Students with Varying Levels of Mindfulness: An Exploration of Contributing Facets of Mindfulness

My name is Sotiria Vamvouris, and I am a student in the Clinical Psychology program at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Illinois. I am reaching out to undergraduate college students with an invitation to participate in my dissertation study. My research examines how a college student’s mindfulness may be related to their perceived anxiety, depression, and stress. Participating in this study will take approximately 10-15 minutes, in which time you will be asked to complete a few surveys. Participants will be given the opportunity to be entered into a drawing for one of four $25 Amazon gift cards. More information about the study as well as specific eligibility requirements can be found at the following link: https://redcap.midwestern.edu/surveys/?s=7RTR7MXWPR

AskScience AMA Series: Hi! We are researchers from the National Institutes of Health and University College London studying how advances in genetics are affecting our lives and the world around us. In honor of National DNA Day, ask us anything!

Each year on April 25, we celebrate National DNA Day, which commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953. On this day students, teachers, and the public learn more about genetics and genomics. In honor of DNA Day this year, the Intramural Research Program (IRP) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is partnering with the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to bring you an "Ask Me Anything" with three experts on the many ways that advances in the genomic sciences are changing our lives.

Alexander Katz, M.D., and Laura Koehly, Ph.D., of NHGRI, along with Saskia Sanderson, Ph.D., of University College London, will answer questions on the latest discoveries and research endeavors in the field of genetics, including The Genomic Ascertainment Cohort (TGAC), a partnership between the NIH and Inova Health System that aims to gather genomic data from many different sources into a single, searchable system to enable researchers to study the link between genetic variants and individual traits. In addition, they will discuss how knowledge of the human genome and rapidly declining cost of DNA sequencing are affecting our physical, mental, and emotional health, as well as altering our behavior and the ways we interact with one another.

Your hosts today are:

  • Laura Koehly, Ph.D., Chief of the Social and Behavioral Research Branch and Head of the Social Network Methods Section at the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute.
  • Alexander Katz, M.D., Clinical Geneticist and Principal Investigator, TGAC, NIH National Human Genome Research Institute.
  • Dr. Saskia Sanderson, Ph.D., a Research Psychologist and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Health Informatics at University College London (UCL).

Links to some of our papers:

  • The Genomic Ascertainment Cohort (TGAC) https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03632239
  • HealthSeq Project Outcomes Paper https://www.nature.com/articles/ejhg2016178
  • NHGRI Social Behavioral Research Branch https://www.genome.gov/about-nhgri/Division-of-Intramural-Research/Social-Behavioral-Research-Branch

We'll be joining you at 1pm (ET, 17 UT), ask us anything!


UPDATE: Thank you all for your amazing questions. Because of this, special thanks to our NHGRI staff who helped answer the many questions you put forth: Brittany Hollister, Ph.D, Postdoc Fellow, SBRB; Madison Esposito, B.S, NHGRI Postbac; Rebecca Hong, B

Study Abroad in Germany for Summer 2022! 10 week program, 6.0 to 9.0 credit hours, organized by College of Media & Communication

Morning, y'all! After so many trials and tribulations, I'm delighted to annouce that we're now accepting applications for a Summer 2022 program organized by the College of Media and Communication and hosted by the University of Erfurt (Germany).

I've prepared a short PowerPoint presentation with program details (including dates and links to application materails) online: TTU SPICE in GERMANY 2022.pptx. But, some quick details:

  • We'll be in Germany from mid-June to mid-August (currently looking at 13 June to 10 August)
  • We'll have classes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and we'll be traveling Monday-Thursday each week! Trust me, it works out better for avoiding summer European crowds.
  • We'll be enrolled in courses at the University of Erfurt along with stuents from OU and UT-Austin, so we've got plenty of time for trash-talk. =)
  • We'll be offering 6.0 and 9.0 credit hour options -- the 9.0 option will include an additional course on "German Media and Communication" and some other perks (such as train passes to complete class assignments and organized trips to Belgium and Munich, and a few others spots).
  • I've been teaching in Erfurt for over 10 years, so I have a very intimate feel for the local culture and places to go.
  • For folks concerned about COVID and travel, some good news there: I've already made three trips to Europe this Fall, and generally speaking vaccination rates are high and infection rates are dropping. It is possible that students will be required to be vaccinated to attend Uni Erfurt, and vaccinations are strongly recommended to avoid travel restrictions already in place. I'd be happy to talk about my experiences in Europe recently.

Although I've been at Texas Tech for three years, this is the first time we've been able to offer our SPICE program (Summer Program in Communication at Erfurt), and I'd love to field any questions that you might have. Chat here, reach out via DM, or hit me directly at nick.bowman@ttu.edu. Applications are accepted now until March 2022 (although there might be an earlier February 2022 deadline for Uni Erfurt enrollment). Let's stay in touch on this one, and I'd love to share a piece of Germany with y'all!
