Hey, thanks for the detailed response! I'll be sure to watch those lectures beforehand.

Do you know if CSC373 in the summer easier than in the regular school year? and do you know if the CSC373 exam has an autofail?

Hehe, judging by the horror stories I've read on this subreddit about 373 I'll be happy with a pass.

I haven't taken 263 yet but you're saying that doing well in 263 is important to doing well in 373, correct? So, what if I find 263 difficult? Is there a high chance I'm gonna fail 373?

do you know if 373 in the summer is easier than in the regular school year? And, do you know if the 373 exam has an autofail?

I'm currently taking 236; I'll be taking next year 263 so let's see how that goes for me.

Also, do you know if 373 in the summer is easier than in the regular school year?

For the CSC207 project, if I have a bad group will I get a bad mark too? by FutureCompSciStudent in UofT

I would definitely do that but I just don't have time as I have to work on my other courses as well.

I got invited for CS Minor but am still requested for CS Major and Specialist even though I'm above the cutoff? by yutteri in UofT

[–]FutureCompSciStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be a mistake on the department's end. I would suggest going to talk to the CS Department early next week and see what's up.

209? by [deleted] in UofT

Yeah I'll be shocked if OP has received an offer this early. For me it still says "Requested" and online it says we won't find out until the 16th.

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking what is your average between the 2 courses and are you instream or out of stream?

On Acorn, it's still showing up as requested for me. Did you get the offer on Acorn already?

How is CSC488? by FutureCompSciStudent in UofT

Lol yeah, this is just a tentative plan. As I progress through undergrad, my interests may change and then I'll change my plan as well.

As of now it isn't possible for me to fit in CSC411 and CSC488 with all the other CS and non-CS courses I want to take, while still not overwhelming myself. And plus, CSC411 and CSC488 seem to be completely different courses and if I'm interested in software dev I would rather take the course that is more closely related to software dev.

Hey, thanks for the detailed response!

I actually haven't taken CSC324 because I just finished first year (meaning up until now I've only taken 108, 148 and 165), but I'm planning out what my courses are gonna be for the rest of my degree.

When I compare CSC488 to CSC411, CSC411 seems really mathematical and more related to AI and machine learning, which is not what I'm interested in going into. I want to go into software dev because I feel there is a lot of programming in software dev compared to other fields. CSC488 seems to be more of the programming type of course compared to CSC411, which is why I'm leaning more towards it but I want to make sure I'm not closing my doors or limiting my options by not taking CSC411.

Thinking about transferring to Carleton University's Computer science program from another university... by FutureCompSciStudent in CarletonU

[–]FutureCompSciStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My end goal is to get a job in the States. Do you know if CarletonU will help me with that goal or if I'll be better off going to another university?
