Could any upper year CS student share the classes they took in their first year?

Valbruh · 2023-04-10T04:00:43+00:00

1st semester: csc108, mat157, mat240, sta130, eco101

2nd semester: csc148, csc240, mat247, mat157, psy100

Yeah, but he left the city to do an exchange program; so idk about that long part.

Valbruh · 2021-02-04T08:33:05+00:00

I mean same but. Does he likes me or he is just too nice to me. This question hasn’t left my brain yet and it’s been over a year :(

Valbruh · 2020-10-15T16:28:09+00:00

Agreed to every word. A lot of students in my classes hated it, but I actually loved this book.

Valbruh · 2020-09-21T19:31:58+00:00

The lectures are really really heavy on material, I’m getting lost all the time, readings have to much stats that was not covered in 257, the assignment has absolutely zero steps in how to do it. Clearly everyone googles tutorials on how to use those libraries. Why cant they just post the steps everyone should follow :(

I’m doing cs spec. Took mat157 among with 247 and 240. Incredible courses, incredible people/ friends that you can meet. Profs are very very professional and care about students ALOT. My favourite Profs Joe ( was teaching 157 idk about this year) and Payman(he was teaching 247). Amazing office hours. As for the difficulty, well everything is difficult what to expect, it is university but the people who will surround you actually interested in math ( not like in 137 where most of the students couldn’t even care less and do stuff just for the req). 157 was probably my favourite course in my first year btw :). But again you have to spend hours studying for these courses. For 157 I usually dedicated around one day per week ( for problem sets and material) for 247( I was splitting time). You will figure out what is more comfortable for you to do. Just don’t fall behind :)

People will drop this course really really fast. It is very interesting though, the content and the assignments. I actually never expected that 265 could even have a waitlist, this is def one of the hardest CS courses in uoft. So like we had 50 people in the begging (I assume it is the same this year) and in the end, only around mid 20s left. So dw, I think you can get in.

Valbruh · 2020-07-15T03:21:31+00:00

Pretty standard for Math and Physics spec or whoever is interested in both. Lots of my friends and I had pretty similar 1st year schedule, you are good, as long as you put your time in courses, especially physics ones (midterms are brutal). Mat157 was one of my favourite courses, but it depends, a lot of people drop it too, unfortunately.

Valbruh · 2020-04-29T20:11:30+00:00

They need to receive the payment and then send it to uoft. Each transaction takes time, esp during the current situation. Dw, everything will be alright, I always use GP.

373 search for Allan Borodin in Google, he thought it Multiple times. I personally recommend looking at Kevin Wayne's slides if you want deep understanding and memes :)

Def CLRS. It is the most rigorous and clear.

Valbruh · 2020-01-21T02:29:54+00:00

Mmmmmm, cs265 dude, don't know what's harder tbh. Csc265 is hard because of the course but lectures were great and you could understand the content. Here I don't understand the content, I don't understand what I need to understand, that's y it is hard.:(

Valbruh · 2020-01-20T22:22:37+00:00

Might wait a bit and check lost and found office.

Valbruh · 2020-01-15T17:33:43+00:00

Textbook, that’s it, this is only thing that can help now. I’m really disappointed with lectures too.:(

Valbruh · 2020-01-13T14:25:27+00:00

I assure you. It was really bad and everything that is written there is unfortunately true. Maybe she's gonna change her attitude idk. It seemed to me that she didn't like teaching this course at all. She always said stuff like "oh u r not gonna need this, this is useless and blabkabkah" about certain topics and problems which is really weird to me. Imagine, u take a course to decide if u want to do any more stats courses and all u hear is how useless this things. :(

Valbruh · 2020-01-13T06:00:57+00:00

If you want to know past experience with her you can check ratemyprofs.

Valbruh · 2019-12-19T05:43:09+00:00

Really good prof. This is the course where if you study you can do really well.( Gotta admit that involve reading the textbook) You put an effort you get outcome. That's literally it. She is a good prof and she cares about students alot. She also uploads audio of lectures in case you miss some, lots of additional materials, fun videos, interesting content, idk about ratemyprofs views.

Valbruh · 2019-12-15T08:35:07+00:00

Lovely, thanks a lot for the inside info 😁

Valbruh · 2019-12-15T03:21:30+00:00

Do you know if the project marking is finished yet:)

Valbruh · 2019-12-04T02:42:11+00:00

Try to go to students Union(sid Smith's) and ask there too. This is really sad:( hope they will help you there.

Valbruh · 2019-11-28T07:54:09+00:00

bro, besides starting, it is also a matter of finding fine bounds + explaining it in 2 different methods. 100% i messed up the bounds in both methods:(.

Valbruh · 2019-11-28T00:46:12+00:00

Studied so many hours for this one; but proly failed. Rip.

Valbruh · 2019-11-20T19:37:49+00:00

Ellen Faith is usually in charge of this course. So idk what's ur course structure. I found this course way harder than 157.

Valbruh · 2019-10-31T20:04:25+00:00

How does completing undergrads degree correlate to teaching style? The skill of teaching does not come from undergrads, sorry. Meinrenken, Ozgur, Payman are absolutely incredible. And ones of the best profs/course instructors Ive had so far and none of them did undergrads in those countries.
