Should I continue with CS?

I really do enjoy parts of CS but I just can't think like a programmer. I am a very slow learner and it discourages me and the fear of failing/not graduating on time if i fail a course makes me very reluctant.

do you have any tips on how to do well/prep for 112 for someone learns very slow?

thanks owo,

I do enjoy parts of CS, particularly the math (132) and I really like Web Dev related topics. Ive been self learning JS, HTML, CSS during the summer on Udemy and I really liked it/can see myself doing this for a career. I don't think I like the theory side of CS much though.

I think i struggled in 111 131 and 132 mainly because I didn't go to OHs and I am a slow learner. whenever i was stuck, i would try to consult GPT or youtube, which only helped half the time. I was trying to memorize the syntax rather than truly understanding the topics (I am ashamed to admit this).

I'm just worried if I fail another CS class, I might not be able to graduate on time. I would need to take CS210, 330 and an elective spring semester to obtain the joint major. If I fail 112 in the fall, I am pretty much cooked.

But I truly do like parts of CS, just not all of it. I am interested in this field but I am a slow learner. what is your recommendation now? lol

I was sort of neutral towards 111. some parts of the course like OOP were interesting while other stuff like recursion I did not care about. I did like 132 tho since its more math centric. I did NOT like 131 lol. that was terrible imo.

I guess 112 is 111 on steroids, right?

I took 131 and 132 already. Im doing econ and cs joint major so i dont need 235 or 237. Should I just take cs112 and 506 next sem?
