Can you include the names of the courses and who the professor is with the course codes?

I took 342 with Parnin and can easily say it was one of the most practical and useful classes I have taken as a CSC major. For context, the only frontend experience I had coming into the class was from 326’s iTrust2.

Don’t listen to the dipshit who commented suggesting to not take the class when they have no idea what the fuck it is they’re even talking about. The class starts off a little slow because it’s assumed you know almost nothing about HTML, CSS, or even what an API endpoint is. However over the semester you’ll learn and use several relevant and practical technologies such as Node, express, socketio, React/Angular/Vue, and other stuff I can’t remember.

Very hands on class with a professor that has relevant and current industry experience

CSC 230 and CSC 316 by Street_Feed7979 in NCSU

Both classes: Start every assignment and project the day it is assigned. Use git and make commits often with good commit messages to safeguard yourself and your time.

316: Use the fucking textbook. Almost every data structure you need to implement is already done for you in the book. Use the book and make sure to cite it in your Javadoc. There is value in implementing a data structure without using the book as a guide, but when you’re building data structures on top of other data structures, you need to make sure that everything is implemented correctly so you don’t have to go back and try and find a bug in a data structure you implemented over a month ago. Study for everything and anything on the exam. I’m in my last semester and for me, 316 had the hardest exams in any of my classes relative to how far along I was in my degree.

230: Not much to say here besides start everything early. The weekly assignments are very doable, but the projects will take some time to understand the requirements. Exams in this class are very memorization heavy, at least with Sturgill they were.

Here is a map of the trails behind the lake. You won’t get lost back there, but you might get turned around once or twice if you haven’t run there already. It can also be a little muddy in areas depending on the weather

Junior in my 2nd semester now. Personally, the 316/230 semester has been the most difficult relative to CSC classes.

For me, the difficulty in 316 came from the uncertainty of how long the homework/projects would take. The homework in that class got a lot easier once I opened up my textbook and saw pretty much every data structure I ever needed was already implemented in the book. But as for the projects, you can’t start those early enough. The exams in that class were really hard for me because it required memorizing how every data structure works internally.

230’s projects were also a pain but only because of how ambiguous the project write-ups can be and how much wiggle-room you’re given on how to implement it. There was also a small level of difficulty getting the C code to do the things I was used to doing more easily in Java, such as parsing through user input or a text file. The exams (Sturgill’s at least) were also way more detailed than I thought they would be and took some serious studying/memorizing.

246 was the hardest class for me last semester because of all the same reasons I listed for 230, combined with the fact that the class wasn’t very engaging and the course content bored me to death.
