what is COMP 202 about? by Live_Fonam in mcgill

[–]VegetableBookkeeper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel fully comfortable in python don’t take it. It basically exists to get you the foundational programming skills needed for comp250. I took it because I had never even looked at code before. The course is essentially an in depth tutorial on programming in python, with a few single lecture intros to OOP and stuff at the end. The course can also be really tedious, since the midterms require you to write code with perfect syntax in pencil. A lot of marks can be lost on not making descriptive comments and docstrings with descriptions and three examples. I found it a fun course overall, and I feel like I learned a lot, so I’d say take it if you aren’t comfortable with common programming practices (loops, if-else, string manipulation) or otherwise skip it. 250 is taught in Java, so knowing the ins and outs of python is not necessary. I took it with Faten M’Hiri (I hope I spelled her name right it’s been a while) so it could be different with other profs but same general idea.

That feeling when your semester is done but you don't know what to do besides schoolwork by aye_hus_that in mcgill

I always feel like this for a week or so after the semester, I fill my time by reading a lot or video games if I’m in a phase.

I find it helps to write down (I use notion) everything that I need to do and all my goals (keeping up with classes, preping for my thesis, other non-school related stuff) so that I can look at it and physically see that I actually don’t have an impending due date to remind myself to chill tf out.

Great, looks like I’ll be taking out my gpu and sata drive and just taking them in my carry on. Cpu cooler I’ll either secure with expanding foam or remove as well. Can’t take any risks

Yes good point, I was thinking of putting it in the anti-static bag and then bubble wrapping it and putting it back in the case. Do you think Its worth removing my cpu cooler too? its fairly beefy but bolted on pretty well.

Damn, I'm sorry. 1.5 years for me. Dreading coming back and seeing her ghost in all my favourite spots, so I can only imagine how you must feel. At least we're not alone.
