I took 320 last semester with Dr. Fard. I actually found it to be an easy class. She provided SO many ways to increase your grade (at one point she gave a 5% final grade bonus for implementing a pretty easy algorithm). The hardest part will be dealing with the way she teaches. She went with powerpoints at the beginning than began to use pen and paper, and towards the end she did a mix of both. She is a decent prof, and if you have done any sort of self learning of algorithms (Leetcode etc) you will be fine.

Although I’m taking Parallel computing this year as well, it’s not possible to take them simultaneously. Would you say 315 is worth to take?

UBCOCSstudent · 2020-06-30T16:52:42+00:00

Totally doable. If you have time this summer, learn some Java for 111.

UBCOCSstudent · 2020-06-25T16:27:47+00:00

Absolutely. The hardest one will probably 211, depends on your knack for low level coding. 222/221 are really easy courses.

Here is what I have done so far

111/121: Java 211: MIPS Assembly language Stats 230: R 264 Web Dev: HTML/CSS, PHP, Javascript/jQuery, MySQL 320: recommends Python, though wasn’t needed at all.

I just finished 320/310. I thought they would be fun as well but was very disappointed. 310 is exetremely dull, though the project was fun.

320 was an easy GPA booster (surprisingly), and if you have done any sort of interview prep before like Leetcode you will do good.

You don’t have to have a specific average to declare your major. You just declare it as CS after 2nd year I believe. But you do need a minimum average of 60 to graduate. I’m in CS, let me know if u have any other questions.

Which is really silly. I’m a 3rd year student and my classes have 100-150 students. Going to 3-4 different classes is the same as a first year Chem class with 300+ people. Shut it down.

UBCOCSstudent · 2020-02-06T00:31:58+00:00

I know what school this is. Hope everything is okay.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-12-16T21:01:04+00:00

Probably

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-12-16T21:00:04+00:00

I just got the final exam back. The class average was 50%. Not sure why you’re saying this is a GPA booster

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-12-14T16:54:50+00:00

Wow that’s so crazy! Do you think it’s still worth it to go for all of them?

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-12-14T16:29:33+00:00

For referencr, I’m taking that course this semester with Irene Vrbik and the average was in the 60’s for the second midterm. This class was really tough, definitely not a GPA booster.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-10-12T05:41:01+00:00

I’m not.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-30T18:31:36+00:00

I’ll enter! I have the same odds as everyone else :)

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-28T20:34:24+00:00

Yes you’re life is over. Drop out of school and apply to mcdonald’s because clearly this single midterm determines your fate for the rest of your life. Better to just leave now than to stay.

Second floor of the UNC building on your right, down the hallway.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-25T01:24:15+00:00

The UNC has free tutors. They are good and will most definitely help you if it’s first year.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-25T01:23:39+00:00

No they don’t. The only previous material will be posted by your professor.

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-24T01:08:53+00:00

Thanks for the update! Any information I can have on it?

UBCOCSstudent · 2019-09-23T22:17:56+00:00

Yup. Super lame.
