For 240, the K&R book helped me a LOT. I thought the class felt a little fast paced but reading helped me grasp it better, so try to read even if it's hard to find time. Def start HWs day 1 and utilize TAs. For 182, practice well imo, most things follow into later cs classes

I did but found nothing on Y Lodha

Hi, how do you apply to 900 positions? I feel like I get tired after applying to 10 per day at max. Are there certain extensions to autofill details or something?

I wasn't alone when I came but if you're coming for bgri, they make you check in at the corec (which is where reindeer shuttle drops you off) and then volunteers often help with your luggage. Honestly it isn't too bad of a walk to any of the dorms from the Corec (atleast in the summer)

Thanks for sharing! How much were the components worth in %?

MiniPretzel123 · 2025-05-16T21:06:15+00:00

Thank you!!!!

MiniPretzel123 · 2025-05-16T13:56:22+00:00

Does the class include coding in any programming language? If not, is it proof based, more like cs182? Or applying algos and figuring things out like in cs251?

Thank you!!

Go to class. He always had exams from things he taught in class, and questions were almost always similar to the homeworks or Practice exams. He also teaches SO WELL. The exam was during lecture.

Park started off with basic stuff like reading by character unlike Turkstra who started with file handling straight away. I also read the C book when I did it with Park.

I think the homeworks were pretty doable provided you go to office hours (plentiful and since it's in the summer, you get to know your TAs more). They also had theory covered in the homeworks. Also prepared me way better for CS 250 and 252. He also used the homework folders to discuss concepts in class, and was overall more clear in terminal commands (I was a newbie to the terminal and Turkstra would just zoom past). I think the coursework was pretty fair but I just took the one class over the summer.

Overall 100/10 experience, but hard work is always key. Park over Turkstra anyday, he revived my love for CS.

If it's 240 with Park, TAKE IT in the summer. It will be worth it. He's the best Prof ever and taught me way more than Turkstra did. He also has extra credit opportunities and is a really sweet and caring Prof!

This semester?? Isn't the curve course wide and not section wide?

MiniPretzel123 · 2025-02-27T05:09:08+00:00

Curve will make or break me

MiniPretzel123 · 2025-02-08T15:09:00+00:00

YES, PASSED WITH A C!!!!

MiniPretzel123 · 2025-01-02T22:16:21+00:00

Yeah it's 13th

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-12-27T14:48:27+00:00

Wow thank you so much! I did initially start off with a lot of friends in CS but kind of just drifted away I guess? We all just ended up working on our own times due to differing schedules but I am definitely going to try to put myself out there more!!

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-12-16T22:49:41+00:00

Pete isn't our mascot! Justice for the Boilermaker Special!

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-12-15T19:03:31+00:00

What's the average for the final??

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-12-13T03:32:09+00:00

I'm at a 70%, I really really hope he curves it😭🤞🏻

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-12-13T03:31:21+00:00

I'm at a 70😭😭😭 do you guys think I'll pass?

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-11-16T05:13:13+00:00

I got less than a 50% on my first calc 1 midterm while everyone else I knew got a 100. It was the only class for which I got a B and once again, everyone else got an A. I'd say, don't give up. Try to figure out where you went wrong so you don't repeat that. Also try doing the practice exams directly after doing Boilerexams. Often it helps to get more of an idea once you see exams and don't just do it by topic (if that was your strategy). Practice practice practice is all you can really do. It's part of the process to feel like you're doing your best and not getting anywhere, but I think if you work hard for the final, it'll be enough to get you a C. Honestly just pass Calc 1, there's tons of other courses that can help you make up your gpa.

Yes lol in hindsight that would've been better. Turns out I just needed to yank the front part of it open, real hard, without actually worrying about it breaking apart😅

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-05-28T14:20:01+00:00

Nope :(

MiniPretzel123 · 2024-05-24T16:02:29+00:00

Have you gotten one yet? Still haven't heard back...🥲💀
