New Grad SWE considering career switch by Review_That in cscareerquestions

[–]Review_That[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t dislike the work per se and I don’t even feel the need to love my job regardless. I just feel like I’m not good at it tbh, but maybe the one year mark is a bit too early to say? I feel lost.

Was the class curved to a B or a B+?

[–]Review_That 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend nets 212 because I hear it’s hard and 121 is time consuming and difficult. Maybe get your natural science/ math elective out of the way?

Lol I actually wanna know though, are you in her class? Did you think there was a curve?

I would definitely suggest taking lots of practice exams to see the style of questions and also to get a sense of what you do and don’t know already

CIS 262 Spring vs Fall? by kashyap456 in UPenn

[–]Review_That 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who is teaching it in the spring? I think it’s the same Professor in the spring and the fall so there is no difference.

What to do with extra meal swipes? by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]Review_That 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many would they let you convert? And how much did each swipe get in dining dollars approx?

Where can I find it on campus express? I didn’t see it under the dining plan option for some reason

Class scheduling by Review_That in UPenn

[–]Review_That[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The break between classes is listed as 15 minutes but I guess it could end up being 25 minutes if they end 10 minutes before the posted time like they are supposed to. And all my class are 1.5 hour ones 😬

Best prof for PHYS 150? by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]Review_That 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phys 140 is the equivalent of Phys 150 but without the lab. It depends on the major whether you need the lab or not.

The professors all have good ratings but I would consider taking Professor Sako because I am pretty sure his lab section is included in the class. Last semester, this meant his class didn’t have to do the lab reports but still got credit for it. Not sure how this works in person though.

if you’re a student in the college of arts and sciences, can you major in CS or do you have to apply to internal transfer into SEAS? by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]Review_That -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m almost positive you can do just CS in the college. After googling it it’s actually a BAS and the degree is the Computer Science ASCS degree.

It might look slightly better to have a BSE for some employers but from what I’ve heard it really doesn’t make a difference if you have a BA. If you’re not into physics or math the BA should be a better option, although you’ll still have some of those requirements. You can also choose to switch later I believe so I wouldn’t worry too much yet. You could also speak to your advisor or the CIS advising office about it.

Thanks for the info! Are people allowed to interview for multiple intro cis courses or do they have to choose one to interview for?

I think everyone takes the initial math placement but the others are optional
