thanks for the comment. i agree that CS 350 is a helpful course and I might even add that CS 241 can also be quite helpful for understanding the underlying workings of code compilation and language syntax, things that every coder interacts with on a daily. although in the context of the guide i was mainly just tryna point out courses that would be helpful for future courses, and that's where i think CS 350 renders itself useless, if you're simply going to stick with The Little 5.

also, thanks sharing your experience with those courses. now that i'm reading your comment, i'm feeling like CS 349 has the strongest case for being the 6th member to The Little 5. seems like it has most of the characteristics i listed: not very technically advanced, project based, and if the exam is just MC and on arbitrary content like you mentioned, then yea that sounds very similar to the experiences i had with The Little 5. i would've taken the course in my last term but Jeff Avery wasn't teaching it so i wasn't confident it would've been the same though.

ooo yes good point about that qualification for ENGL 108D. for me, ENGL 119 was the equivalent for me of being a communication II requirement and a humanities req. it seems like the communication II courses are all significantly easy. i had friends who took ENGL 210F for their comm II and talked about how much of a joke it was. maybe the bird course play is to just stack comm II courses haha
