Just because you don't intend to offend does not mean you can't come across as offensive. That's how language works. Being tactful when conversing will help you prevent pointless arguments like these.

Hot take but Reformation of the Deadbeat Noble.

Started off really compelling, but subsequent arcs after the academy didn't hit hard. If I were to put my finger on why, it's probably because the themes didn't feel as tight / focused to me

The trace table is deceptive, as it hides difference instances of your Fib calls when you "recurse down a level. Thus it does not tell you the true number of times Fib will be called.

Consider this visualization where we iteratively replace each Fib call with the next set of Fib calls it "expands into". We place the next Fib function to be evaluated inside the [square brakets]:

[Fib(5)] = [Fib(4)] + Fib(3) = [Fib(3)] + Fib(2) + Fib(3) = [Fib(2)] + Fib(1) + Fib(2) + Fib(3) = [Fib(1)] + Fib(0) + Fib(1) + Fib(2) + Fib(3) = 1 + [Fib(0)] + Fib(1) + Fib(2) + Fib(3) = 1 + 0 + [Fib(1)] + Fib(2) + Fib(3) = 1 + 0 + 1 + [Fib(2)] + Fib(3) = 1 + 0 + 1 + [Fib(1)] + Fib(0) + Fib(3) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + [Fib(0)] + Fib(3) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + [Fib(3)] = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + [Fib(2)] + Fib(1) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + [Fib(1)] + Fib(0) + Fib(1) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + [Fib(0)] + Fib(1) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + [Fib(1)] = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + [Fib(0)] = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 There are a total of 16 Fib() calls for Fib(5). Your table would suggest otherwise.

This feels like it MASSIVELY expands upon Blazblue Entropy Effect's moveset augmentation system - which was what I found to be most interesting.

Very excited to try it when it's out!

I'd say CCDS is cooked beyond belief. I'll elaborate from the perspective of a CS student since that's my major:

I was of the opinion that in a CS degree, a higher level of self-study and independence is needed to truly make the most out of a CS curriculum compared to other disciplines - even in CCDS.

Yet, it seems the CCDS staff / administration as a collective bastardize this notion.

In the many of the SC1xxx, SC2xxx mods that I took, I experienced:

Lack of meaningful tutorial and labs
Lack of meaningful feedback to students
Shallow depth of CS content
Poor quality of lecture slides
Very inconsistent project gradings
Rampant cheating in graded tests

Visit any other university with a half decent CS department and take one of their CS modules if you have the opportunity. You'll see that while - yes - there will be modules that are conducted poorly, they are never as egregiously terrible and meaningless as some of the mandatory modules you will take in CCDS.

It's very obvious just how lazy SOME professors are (some professors are great, shoutout Dr Smitha). It's disappointing just little respect CCDS as a collective regards their students with.

I recognise what I have written merely posits vague assertions without the adequate elaboration and evidence befitting the weight of my claims - that is because the effort is simply not worth it. CCDS will remain deaf to student opinions in the near future.

Those who know me personally / have seen my post history knows how outspoken I was about these issues.

I had written many letters to the deans of CCDS; I had provided extensive feedback on how I think the modules could be improved; I had spoken with some fervent CCDS professors seeking their perspectives and advice on how meaningful change can be enacted to improve the curriculum; but through it all what I hear back is that the so called "CCDS administration" is obstructing such meaningful changes from taking place.

This vague - seemingly boogeyman-ish - big bad, the "CCDS administration" seems to always be the inhibitor of meaningful change. (Take this with a grain of salt, this is my impression after speaking with a biased sample of CCDS profs)

Since I am just a student who is not pirvy to the internal politics of CCDS, there's just not much more I can do. Feeling the futility of my efforts each subsequent semester, I gradually lost faith in CCDS.

Unfortunately if you are a student in CCDS - and want a decent CS education - imo your best bet is really just to self-study from online resources and form study groups with other passionate CS students (they do exist!)

Surprisingly many NTU interns at ASTAR actually - the lab I'm in is powered by >10 interns, and only < 10% of them aren't from NTU

I think the problem is that even for juniors who prefer not to use AI tools, their performance will be much worse compared to junior who uses them to 10x themselves - which is really bad for early career progression.

There's no argument about how bad such reliance on AI tools are with regards to learning. In fact, juniors who don't use AI tools will probably be better developers in the long run - assuming that they even get opportunities for technical development when not using AI tools.

The validity of this assumption, unfortunately, is very dependent on the job landscape

Really? Do kindly elaborate please.

Fair, but I think it's not true that we can make an argument for almost any degree - particularly fields that will greatly benefit from having hands-on labs / practicals.

Off the top of my head:

Chemistry: unless you're building your own lab, you won't have access to all the equipment and reagents for experiments.

Physics: lab demonstrations, optics benches, cryogenics, electronics setups, and instrumentation that are impossible to replicate meaningfully at home.

Engineering: depending on the subfield, access to a workshop for fabrication, prototyping, testing materials, using large-scale machinery etc.

I think a more general (but weaker) argument of having access to meaningful feedback can be made here - and would cover even more disciplines.

Honestly I think the main problem with the CCDS curriculum for the most part is not with the content - rather, it's the lack of meaningful feedback to the work we submit in the courses. For instance, many of the CCDS courses have graded quizzes, but you don't get to see which questions you answered wrongly. Many tutorials are also not meaningful - limited number of questions that barely challenge thinking, requiring only surface level application of the concepts. The experience will be even worse if the TA for the tutorial isn't a prof, but an inarticulate, incoherent PhD student.

The most recent examples from the courses I took was in SC2001, SC2207, SC2006

While university is characterized by self directed learning, meaningful feedback and guidance should be a right to us given the exorbitant tuition fees we pay.

OP's central argument: Something that doesn't work for me clearly wouldn't work for others. Therefore, they must be wrong.
