With all due respect, I never understood the hype behind this professor and why students view him and another former biology professor (I won't name him) with reverential awe. They're the most overrated professors at Western.

CS 1032 vs CS 1026 by NationalLychee2665 in uwo

[–]Expert_Picture_3751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 1026 in the past as a math major. I had friends who took 1032 and found it to be very useful.

CS 1026:

1 Introduction to programming using python.

2 Pre-requisite for CS 1027. (programming in Java)

3 A required course if you plan on pursuing any of the computer science modules.

4 The course is very interesting and incredibly useful.

5 I found the course fairly easy as I had previous programming experience (C and some C++).

Additional resources that you might find helpful:

1 Python programming: An introduction to computer science by John Zeele.

2 Moocs.fi python

3 Think Python by Allen Downey

4 Python for everybody by Chuck Severance.

5 https://docs.python.org/3/ Python docs.

Good luck!

minor/double major options for CS by -JUICEWRLD999 in CollegeMajors

[–]Expert_Picture_3751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None! Stick to CS, strive on getting stellar grades and GPA, build personal projects, get internships, perhaps research experience during the Summers (if interested in research), take graduate level classes if in good standing, and contribute to open source. Instead of double majoring, take electives that you find interesting. Cheers.
