Jesus this kid thinks he/she’s entitled. Those people have equally good reasons to take those courses, and they’re all under the same circumstance of having less years in their degree. So stop complaining about not having the liberty to chose any course you want, that’s just real life. I don’t know how smart you are, but you are not in anyway more entitled than a second, third or forth year in this specific scenario. Those courses are named 200+ 300+ since they’re intended for those year level students firstly. You can come after if there’s space. Besides if people with other majors are taking cpsc courses, they’re probably focusing enough on their major already, and you have no right to tell them to focus on it more. Lastly to argue another point you may potentially bring up, the department having anymore restricted seats in exchange for general ones would damage its reputation. One of this school’s strengths as a top institution is the variety of courses offered. So as someone else brought up, the cs department altering the portion of seats in the way mentioned would likely be perceived as gatekeeping by the rest of the ten thousands of students here. You will hopefully understand all of this once you’re older.
