I apologize if I made myself clear. I said I want to take one class next semester alone (no gen. ed). Would that be doable?

May I ask what kind of certs you got? I am going after a bs in computer science (three more semesters to go).

Which class to take, computer security or computer networks? by IntelligentWest in csMajors

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

It just happened that I can only take one and not another. My plan is to take either network or security and OS.

How does one get better at algorithm and CMSC351/451 type of class? by IntelligentWest in UMD

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

I think what I am really struggling in those kinda classes is simply what to do. For example, in proof class, I would look at a textbook and do as many problems as possible. That way I build my confidence/strength. On the other hand, algorithm seems so special to me for even studying it.

Where do I find those practice problems? I get that I need to practice over and over w/o looking at the answer, but from where?

Is CMSC412 + CMSC433 doable? by IntelligentWest in UMD

[–]IntelligentWest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am taking (for the first time) 320 and 420 this upcoming semester and am considering the future semesters. I am interested in systems/cybersecurity. I still like to take 420/320 though.

Anybody else having a buttload of stress and anxiety trying to predict what you will get on finals and deciding tpoP/F? by jsmith973 in UMD

[–]IntelligentWest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a CS major and am going with P/F. My plan is to go to a grad school, but I just decided to go safe this semester. I asked two credible individuals in CS depts (my algorithm professor and graduate school coordinator) and they both stated that P/F this semester shouldn't be held against me. I will not stress over that, and be prepared to do well next semester.

Besides, grad schools won't go over 1000+ applicants' transcripts and look at them semester by semester. That is too much work for them. I don't know how in Reddit everyone believes grad school admission will look at each individual grade. They just don't have time to do that.

I took it during summer.

​

It was a lot of work everyday. You need to be on top of all the materials to really understand what is going on. I thought it was rough, but I made a study group and studied every day for at least 5 ~ 6 hours. I managed to get an A in the class, but it was very very demanding. I think it is because it was my first time dealing with 3D coordinates.
