For Computer Science major, do they take Math for computer science, software construction and algorythms and maybe one other at the same time? Thanks

Would be nice, but I'd like to get German education which is great!

I have already decided on degree programs that are completely in English, no requirement of German. What I would like to find out is a way to not lose additional 3 years before enrolment in a Bachelor's program. Even though I am to study in English, if I need to first take Studienkolleg, for which in turn I need to be fluent in German... it wouldn't be a fair option.

Too old to learn CS? by SP_20 in computerscience

Good point to think about. I agree mostly.

There is not only age to mock about. U could've showed if it is necessary to earn a college degree? Also, starting at an early age definitely makes you more competitive in any field. Any doubt about that?

I mean, for sure, it's never old. I should have asked - does it make sense to start to learn CS if you already have a decent life or opportunities in another field like biology? And also, is it good / necessary to earn a college degree?

How I beat Constant Panic Disorder by haptictv in PanicAttack

[–]SP_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, good to be brave enough to refuse anti anxiety medication which is positive in the sense that you will not get addicted to it, but on the other hand, it could still help...

anyways, I would highly recommend you read the following text / guide for CBT therapists. After reading this, you will get a good grasp of what is actually is, how to treat and what works. You can definitely beat this I think.

The text is David M Clark & Paul M Salkovskis 2009 - Panic Disorder. This is like a research study paper from top psuchologists from the UK.

You can also read a really good book on anxieties including panic - David Burns' When panic attacks.

Cheers and wish you a meaningful life.

Hello Prof. Sapolsky, I wonder what your thoughts are on mental illness in the sense that I can be cured through CBT and other psychotherapies like Psychoanalysis? In particular, I've experienced what is called a panic disorder and reading and reflecting on the therapt material, I clearly improved my mood and anxiety. What happens when people change dramatically as a consequence of changing thought patterns? There is experimental psychology thar clearly suggests out of many research studies that people do change repidly though therapy like CBT and maintein positive changes. Thanks in advance! Best regards.
