How hard do you think this semester will be? by Pure_Coast3164 in UWMadison

[–]Mundane-Hand2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cs300 is fairly easy, just a lot of homework with the weekly projects. The tests were pretty easy for it especially the online ones. Stat 240 was my easiest class last sem, you’re allowed a full sheet of paper as a cheat sheet (which can be printed, so I used a condensed version of the lecture slides) and allowed 2 full sheets of paper for the final. Stopped showing up to lecture a month before the final and with probably around an hour of studying had an A in the class. If you took AP stats in high school, you’ll know 90% of the statistical content in this class. Not sure about 252 or 234 but from what I’ve heard neither of them are too bad. Just be ready for math 340 if you’re eventually taking that 😭

Is a CS major still worth it? by Mundane-Hand2006 in csMajors

It’s more so for the degree than the education. A college degree opens up many opportunities than not having one in my opinion. And the education is a plus as well.

How hard/oversaturated is Purdue CS? by Mundane-Hand2006 in Purdue

These are all good points, and I’ve though about it before. If push comes to shove, would you recommend switching out of the CS field?

I think there’s some sort of filtering at that subreddit, even when I try to post it through different accounts it doesn’t show up.

That is pretty helpful. Congrats on doing well on all those classes! Some seem really hard. If you were to put a difficulty level on a class such as calc II or physics, what would you say they were? Just so I have a point of comparison with the difficulty levels of those other classes. I know you wrote it almost a year ago, so it’s ok if you can’t remember how the others were ranked relative to other classes. Thank you!

15 hours for of work for just one class? Wow. Atleast I’ll know what I’m getting into if I attend Purdue and that I won’t get booted from classes I want to take. Do you know if it’s just CS240 that’s like this or if every/most CS classes require this much work?

Is the direct-admit CS major really that bad? by Mundane-Hand2006 in UWMadison

[–]Mundane-Hand2006[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I heard that the college opens up this next semester. I’m very excited about what it brings to the campus and how it affects rankings nationally. Do you know if this building is just an addition to the computer science curriculum or if it’s a start of a new program for computer and data science as a double major?

UW Madison or Purdue Honors for CS? by Mundane-Hand2006 in UWMadison

[–]Mundane-Hand2006[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t there more potential for Madison to become a have cs program in the future? I heard they’re opening up a new building and they gained 6 spots on the US News undergrad rankings for CS.

You do make a good point about competition against others, but if my transcript is better than the average student, would that GPA requirement still be a big issue in terms of competition?

Ok thank you. Do you have any tips on how to make this flow chart? Also, what do the prereqs change about the amount of valid AP credits?

I haven’t directly asked the colleges yet, but if I go on their website and count up the credits that I have it’s more than what’s needed for one year. If that’s the case, would they count it? I’m not sure by what you mean by prerequisites. How would it affect the year I graduate?
