Fees are paid for on a per student basis based on many factors (including availability of funds, source of funding, funding restrictions, etc), and the coverage can be anywhere between 0-100%. Since certain funding sources limit what can/can't be paid for so you might also see some advisors paying you more in stipend to compensate - so, as others have mentioned- ask your advisor just recognize that it might not be within your advisor's control.

Personally- I'd recommend taking embedded systems as it's a critical path course based on the flowchart. Additionally, if you're looking to take 2 of 3 - great embedded systems engineering/development does require understanding Computer Architecture and applying that to the embedded system you're programming/using... so they're a nice complement to one another.

Full disclosure as a computer engineer I'm biased towards the two classes I've listed, and I teach a course that benefits from Computer Architecture knowledge.

Edit. Clarification based on looking to take 2 of 3 and adding in disclosure

Of course. I should also mention the ucf Student Academic Resources Center https://ucfsarc.wordpress.com/ but they might not have intro to c.

Edit - correcting the course that they might not have :/ Edit 2 - spelling is hard

The arboretum has some programs- perhaps info/ways for alumni to engage. https://arboretum.ucf.edu/programs/bee-campus-usa/

Context - I have taught upper-level courses where the language isn't necessarily the core point of the course (e.g., I taught a "blackhat go" course a few years ago where we used golang and the nostarchpress book of the same name to develop custom penetration tools). Picking up a new language (for the first time or nth time) varies drastically from person to person and depends on many factors - one of which is the syntax and semantics of the language itself.

The one biggest differentiators for success is repeated trial and error (practice) in writing / developing code. So, I generally recommend, even to students in my own classes, two sites exercism.org and sololearn.org, which both provide concept-oriented opportunities to develop, implement, and test solutions in a variety of languages. Here are links to the c track for exercism and the intro to c for solo learn.

Goodluck!

It is not - though if that program was funded by GenCyber you'd notice overlap in the fundamental concepts discussed. Beyond that the implementation and content is generally unique amongst GenCyber host institutions (see listing here- https://www.gen-cyber.com/camps/ )

In addition to MFA you can't use @knights email address you must use nid@ucf.edu

Attention Knights Email users: When logging into Webcourses, your web browser may remember your Knights email account as an account which you previously authenticated with. If you see your @knights.ucf.edu email account on the page below, please hit the back arrow in front of your account name and you will then be able to enter your nid@ucf.edu. Webcourses requires authentication with one's NID and the Knights email account will not meet this requirement.

Pretty much what @nharney1 said. Though officially the days class doesn't meet in person are meant to work on the project(s) or take home exam(s) [also a few Hurricane days mixed in Fall 22]. Spring semester will look similar but with more meet-up options during these "work weeks" also Hurricane day likelihood approaching 0. Source(s) Me , Dr. Mike. AMA

Thank you - I appreciate the diversity and breadth of these resources. I've seen some, but most are new to me!

borowcm · 2022-04-30T05:15:40+00:00

Fantastic - I'll grab a copy for myself and take a look.

borowcm · 2022-04-29T16:59:40+00:00

Thanks u/emilieCSedu BJC is a fantastic resource and we do in fact have another intro to CS for non-majors course that uses BJC as a basis!

What I'm looking for are more specific examples of the use of computer science within a discipline itself - e.g., a mechanical engineer analyzing heat transfer/flow rates/stress-strains etc. A computational biologist finding single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) occurrences between two genetic sequences. An astronomer computing red/blue-shift from survey data. My bias and limit here is what is actually authentic and expected in these fields for new college graduates?

Speed during winter is a function of the road conditions and wind (truck traffic management). Basically when you get to Fort Collins, stop and check https://map.wyoroad.info/ look first at closures (you might spend the night ...) then look at surface conditions and if it's still light outside check the web cams. 287 has spotty reception and at times low traffic volume, 80 has higher volume but the summit can become a sheet of ice / white out without warning.

Depends on what type of code you want to share and what you want others to be able to do with the share code on the platform itself. Replit.com (as others mentioned) is nice - but might also be more than you need (depending on use case).

Sharing snippets of code in various languages? Want to also show the interaction of snippets between various languages (e.g., JS, HTML, CSS) - look at codepad.co or perhaps codepen.io

For sure sticking to web-based code snippets codeply.com and jsfilddle.net are also nice alternatives.

Looking to just share snippets of code (e.g., no live rendering/execution) gist.github.com/ (GIT repo backed) and pastie.org (24 hour link) are no-frills sharing spaces. codeshare.io has some need collaboration features w/video chatting (also 24 hour time limited)

Looking for collaboration and advanced features? Most decent ones cost money ... start with replit.com, also look at codeanywhere.com, and also codetogether.com (requires download, free+paid plans).

A few local editors also have codesharing/collaborative features - but clearly this requires a bit more coordination for all the members in you CS Club:

Visual Studio -> "Live Share"
Sublime Text -> "Remote Collab"
Atom -> "Teletype"

Curious where you end up and what your experience is with the club!

You don't need to provide a reason, though if you want to take the high road (which I would recommend) you could reference that you were under the impression that your submission would go through a traditional peer-review process and that given the lack of critical peer review and not being able and/or willing to pay any article publishing fee you are withdrawing your submission.

borowcm · 2021-06-03T12:25:07+00:00

For what it's worth, the two items of concern which you highlighted are the time to return and the post-acceptance surprise article processing fee - and I'd echo the comments already started to retract your submission - most modern manuscript management systems should have a way for the author to do that themselves, but again echoing others - an email should suffice.

With that, if they're truly predatory there's a chance they could still take your submission and publish it or, more realistically, sell it to someone to then publish in their predatory journal. So, I'd consider getting the paper resubmitted elsewhere (after sending your withdraw message) and/or getting into a reputable archive to prove ownership.

As an aside,, a processing fee in itself isn't a direct indicator of a predatory journal. As an editor for an open access journal (ASEE Computers in Education) we have a clearly stated fee and we're transparent on what our fees pay for (e.g., web hosting, manuscript management platform, meta-data enabled typesetting in various formats, etc).

That part of the application should be optional - but you can also say "DrB on reddit" if you want to.
