How would it go if I choose to stay in class A? Hexagram 14.1.6 > 11

[jp78]

Background: Again, torn between choosing 1 of 2 classes, after swapping out a harder class that was beyond my level and time capacity. I have the option to go with class A (data mining), or class B (database mgt). Class A is held on-campus by the same professor I took last semester. The class seems decent and could help expose me to new stuff but doesn’t feel like I’d get much out of it given all the assignments/exam was graded after the semester ended. The reviews also say the continuation class isn’t as good as the first one from the previous semester I took. It was like teaching myself, but I did do well in it. On the other hand class B, is held online for both the main course and separately a lab portion. It seems like a more hands-on approach with a professor that cares. I am lost which class is more beneficial to take here.

How would it go if I choose to stay in class A (in-person data mining)? Hexagram 14.1.6 > 11

Line 4 – not for me to dominate, maintain a low profile and don’t be jealous of others, where line 6 says is favorable as long as I’m sincere about taking this class.

How would it go if I choose to instead stay in class B (online database mgmt?) Hexagram 64.2 > 35

He brakes his wheels. Perseverance brings good fortune, rectitude is auspicious. Confused how some unfinished (64) goes to progress here. Perhaps I end up leaving this class to focus on the other one.

What class should I take option A or B? Hexagram 30.4.6 > 36

Line 4 sounds nasty – burns, dies, and thrown out Yikes! I guess I did something wrong here. Line 6 – don’t have negative thoughts, take charge and decide? I feel like option B I’d enjoy more, but option A could be more beneficial in some ways. lost

h14 = a wealth of resources (aka data mining). L 1 and 6 change meaning you go through the whole hexagram-experience fairly quickly, like A to Z ... done! It seems to flow from (11) your previous experience with this prof and the impression you have of what you'd get out of it. Only you can tell if this a good thing in terms of how strategic this is for your education and your professional aims.

"sometimes it' a good thing to be stopped on your tracks" (when you're making a fuss out of things) or "there's a key piece of info or a tool that is missing here for advancement (35)". Only you know the answer.

You asked both Qs in terms of "if" and "staying" - one goes fwd, the other term holds back so this muddies the answers, sorry. Is this a choice between options, really, or staying with what is there already? Can you do both, if not why?
I think the third casting is Yi telling you that your clarity of mind is obscured or that the questions are obscuring the answers. It is up to you to decide what's best for your education and trajectory. Or asking a clearer question along this line.

Thanks, my mind was fuzzy when I asked the question since I was trying to sort out the cons and pros in my mind. I took your advice and asked another question, but think class A might be more beneficial in the short term and give me a chance to meet people on campus. Despite not being interested in the material I realize I can't shy away from it, and it would give me a chance to practice the programming language and learn some new math. Guess I'm hiring a tutor now.

Nonetheless, here's the question I asked:

Which class would be more beneficial for learning? Hexagram 54.4 > 19​

Delays and marries at right time - something nearing. I think this might be referring to what I've been trying to do, use my classes, mentor to build knowledge to go after the right job. I've passed up a lot of opportunities that aren't aligned with my long term interests, so perhaps this is what it referring to.

Things would go great with the group so long as you manage to reverse your normal ways of relating with others. Your challenge would be sharing and integrating in a humble way.

Here you might find it all a little bit more than you thought it to be. Lots of new things to get to grips with that will stretch you in ways you haven't imagined. It's going to be a challenge for you to keep all your plates spinning. Not an impossible task especially if you take the right precautions and make flexible plans that allow you the wriggle room for success.

This is a time to think of yourself first. Take everything in and see all the callings, the tuggings, what ifs and maybes of the decision making process clearly for what they are. Then follow the path that makes your heart sing: whatever the future may bring. Your challenge is to make a fearless decision that you can stand behind. For you and nobody else.

..or it might mean nothing like this for you.

Good Luck.

Thanks, I'll most likely go with the in-person class A, that's what my gut tells me since this morning. Would take both, but with full-time work, and only 2 elective classes left I want to leave my options open for other interesting topics. It's a broad enough subject matter that either way there's no wrong decision - only which one would I benefit more from in my current situation with my work load. Appreciate your insight.

 

[Liselle]

either way there's no wrong decision

That's the impression I got, too, maybe especially from 30.4.

By the way, just checking the reading - was your first one 14.4.6 to 11, not 14.1.6? I figure so since you talked about line 4 in the rest of your post. You could fix the typo in the thread title if you want. Click the three dots on the far right above your first post and select "Edit thread."
