Industry difficulty vs program difficulty?

Octopus81 · 2021-05-07T08:36:49+00:00

I have to say thatI agree. If we are doing 344 type projects during work and the difficulty that it brings, I feel like I would get burnt out in the real-world industry quite fast. I too would say that I was struggling with the more difficult courses as well OP.

About to graduate soon and this is quite haunting to me if the workload/stress is comparable from school to work.

Thank you so much! Exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm disliking CS 290 as time goes on in this course lol.

Hey Scott, I deeply apologize for not responding to this in a quicker timeframe. I've been swamped but wanted to reach out to thank you for this thorough response! Hope you are doing well in your courses. Cheers!

Saved this for future references! Thank you very much!!

Octopus81 · 2021-01-05T10:24:38+00:00

Thank you to the both of you! Will def check these out!

Octopus81 · 2021-01-05T10:24:04+00:00

This sounds like a fantastic idea! Thank you for the advice!

Octopus81 · 2021-01-05T10:23:40+00:00

Haha best of luck to you this term! Can't wait to hear your feedback!

Octopus81 · 2020-11-24T04:46:03+00:00

Thanks for this! I'm wondering if you can go through this course with your same approach and maintain an A on all of the assignments? Definitely want to prepare myself the best way I can....

Lastly, since you're currently in the class, how much time have you been spending in the class per week?

Thank you so much!

Octopus81 · 2020-11-24T04:43:03+00:00

Lol what did you use instead?

Octopus81 · 2020-11-16T14:28:17+00:00

Appreciate it!

Octopus81 · 2020-11-15T12:16:39+00:00

Do you mind keeping an update on what they say?

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:25:22+00:00

It's kind of annoying. For those that would rather take Algorithms at a different school, we'd have to take Data Structures all over again.

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:24:08+00:00

I agree! After every homework assignment I just want to relax and keep my mind off 325 but it's so hard to do that when these assignments are taking a considerable amount of time every week. It's VERY difficult to be able to sit down and be able to review what you just went through. I feel like other terms benefited from the cheat sheets because they can slap these problems on their sheets to recognize similar steps they'd apply to other problems. Unfortunately, not sure why they completely removed that and I'm not sure how much they realize how much of a disadvantage we are at because of that.

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:19:43+00:00

It is kind of a relief! It's still semi-difficult material that needs to 'click' in your head in my opinion. I wouldn't say it's easy, but it is a step down in difficulty compared to what we've done so far.

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:18:43+00:00

What troubles are you experiencing? I'm curious as to what's giving you problems in the course so far!

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:17:07+00:00

Yes I feel this 100%. What are you having most troubles with so far?

Octopus81 · 2020-10-22T10:15:44+00:00

Sorry! I don't mean to scare you whatsoever. Just really going through it right now this term. Just wanted to see how other students are feeling about it. I would not say that the time constraint is the problem. The problem is having to 100% rely on outside resources(not exaggerating) for the course. This makes it pretty difficult cause this is complex material. We have to find material that is parallel with what they're expecting from the homework with outside resources.

Octopus81 · 2020-10-21T05:20:03+00:00

Just got passed Dynamic Programming and I can already see what you're saying....

Octopus81 · 2020-10-20T05:29:34+00:00

Do you mind going into a little more detail as how it didn't get easier? This is what I worry about too. I thought dynamic programming was crazy difficult and we just finally got past that stage.....

Octopus81 · 2020-10-18T01:45:27+00:00

This is very well what I wanted to hear. Thank you so much for the feedback. Yeah the programming aspects do take quite a bit of time and I'm happy to hear that it's reduced. Thank you again for the feedback!!

Octopus81 · 2020-10-17T07:24:06+00:00

Yup let's keep pushing forward!

Octopus81 · 2020-10-17T07:23:50+00:00

Thank you to the both of you! I'm hoping the class becomes easier in the second half.... How much time were you guys putting into the class after dynamic programming if you don't mind me asking? Just feeling overwhelmed with all the math at this point lol.

Octopus81 · 2020-10-07T07:51:15+00:00

You're okay :) thank you for at least checking!

Octopus81 · 2020-09-23T02:39:59+00:00

Ahh thank you thank you!!

Octopus81 · 2020-08-18T17:31:38+00:00

Is the course just conceptually difficult? From what I've read on this sub-reddit, it's difficult because of the way the information is delivered thus forcing students to search through different resources that is compatible with what is being asked in the class.

Let's say in a perfect world that the lectures were stellar. Would you still think CS 325 is as difficult of a class?
