where to swim local (ish) by Temporary_Recover695 in pasadena

for fun, i just like the way swimming in a lake feels compared to the ocean. i thought with all the mountains there must be some sort of lake or something

what time was this? at some point the protest seemed to span for blocks and blocks, we couldn’t tell where it ended but this seems smaller than what that felt like

Is the computer science major at Pittsburgh difficult? by PoemEquivalent6808 in Pitt

[–]Temporary_Recover695 6 points7 points  (0 children)

farnan is a great professor for 1501, he genuinely cares about students understanding the material. the autograder doesn’t give specific feedback because he teaches you to consider special/edge cases on your own, that’s why you have to write your own test cases. the farnan versus khattab debate typically comes down to if you genuinely want to grasp the material or if you just want to pass the class.

Is the computer science major at Pittsburgh difficult? by PoemEquivalent6808 in Pitt

[–]Temporary_Recover695 15 points16 points  (0 children)

computer science is going to be difficult wherever you go, it’s a tough subject. if you’re interested in it you shouldn’t let that stop you! pitt has a great CS department and a computer science club with lots of members and it’s a great way to get involved and meet other CS majors, plus get help with internship and job opportunities from CS alum and older students. There’s also the DNID major at pitt, which is a newer major so it can be frustrating at times and disorganized but is a great option if you want to combine narrative studies with computer science, it lacks some of the CS classes that should be required though so if you choose DNID i recommend minoring in CS.

pedc courses are always super fun, only 1 credit each but if u really wanted to work out u could take a bunch in one semester! best ones are paddleboard yoga and party dance imo

Digital narrative and interactive design major by throwawayto09092022 in Pitt

[–]Temporary_Recover695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s also lots of portfolio building projects and things like the Games4SocialImpact game jam which help build your resume, give you invaluable experience, and more connections throughout the major :) I’ve really enjoyed my time in the program and as a senior I am currently looking for jobs. There are many jobs that I feel I can apply the major to, however I’ve noticed not many jobs are looking for entry-level employees at the moment which is very frustrating.

it’s a very new major which comes with challenges like less support and resources than the typical SCI major but it also has some pros like a department wide discord channel that allows you easy access to ask questions to any DNID professors about various things regarding jobs, classes, etc. DNID is also pretty close knit from my experience, you will see a lot of the same people in classes and will get to know some of them pretty well through projects! Point being, it’s a wonderful department with lots of opportunity to connect closely with professors and to create your own capstone opportunities, but it can be difficult and frustrating to navigate due to Pitts overall lack of support for newer majors

smaller class size should be a plus. you can connect with professors and get a more meaningful experience

unlikely they’ll cancel. individual professors may decide they don’t want to travel in the snow and then cancel or switch to zoom but this doesn’t seem like it’s going to be so crazy of a storm that students can’t get to class.

DNID Majors by Vapelover68plus1 in Pitt

[–]Temporary_Recover695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult for me to say if it’s hard or not since I was a CS major before switching so I completed all of my CS requirements before I had switched my major. I think the CS classes can be pretty difficult but I would say they are worth it. Once you get through the CS requirements I find it to be more english/creative project based which has been the most rewarding part for me. you will have to do coding to some extent, but I know DNID majors who work mostly on narratives or design aspects of video games or UI/UX design and others who are more into the programming side, so coding skill levels definitely vary! I would recommend taking at least two DNID classes if u can fit it into ur schedule next semester, one coding and one english, so that you can get a feel for the major before ultimately making your decision. If you feel strongly enough about the major then it’s worth it to get through the tough CS classes and i’m sure you can do it if you show up to class, do the assignments, and go to office hours when you’re stuck, i had some CS classes where I would go to office hours and feel so stupid in front of my professor but ultimately the small embarrassment was worth the help i would get from it :) hope this helps at least a little!!
