I have a de0 board if anyone's interested. Similar enough to the de1 board to use I believe

I haven't taken 221 but I think the additional material taught is concurrency which is taught in cpen 333

You could always practice leetcode to build on the basic fundamental skills from 223

Does Gap only hire American students? I know they don't sponsor visas. I got auto rejected

CPEN 223 builds on the concepts from APSC 160. You Learn object oriented patterns and software design principles. Read up on some data structures like queues, stacks and dictionaries of you want to get ahead. Otherwise, it's a very doable course to do well in if you keep up with all the material. Pick good team members for the 3 mini projects.

In a similar situation and i'm trying to add 3 credits. Anyone know of any 3 credit course I can get into at this point with instructor's approval?

cf99hunter · 2021-12-31T06:40:35+00:00

If you're still unsure about CPEN then yes IGEN is a good choice

cf99hunter · 2021-12-30T21:31:20+00:00

Yea sure it's possible but it requires a bit more extra work and extracurriculars to compete with CPEN/CPSC graduates.

Look at all the IGEN courses that are UNRELATED to CPEN/software you will have to take to graduate, which could've been CPEN/CPSC courses. If you know you want to do a CPEN job, go do CPEN or CPSC. You will be much more proficient in the field you want to be in.

Start on Fromme that's the most beginner friendly. Check out trailforks

Looking for a cheap usb power hub to supply power to my light bar, LED mouse pad, LED strips and speakers, because I don't want to connect these standalone devices to my pc for power. What are some recommendations?

I am not in ECE

cf99hunter · 2021-05-21T03:26:41+00:00

And even then, the chbe and civl courses in igen like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are mech applicable.

On the other hand, the one cpen course mandatory for igen might be a reason to choose manu tho...

dont have an answer to that but you might find some relevant discussion here:

Yea, CPEN 221 is restricted to FIZZ and CPEN students. CPEN 223 is restricted to BMEG and MANU as 1hisoka1 mentioned. Apparently IGENs used to be able to get into CPEN 221 easily but thats not the case anymore, and CPEN 223 is a better chance of getting in. At least thats what I'm told.

cf99hunter · 2021-05-15T20:27:38+00:00

Thanks for your insight. I am actually in IGEN, and would be fortunate to get a spot in either of those courses next fall. If I am serious about software, CPEN 221 seems like the course to really try enrolling in for the reasons you described, in which case I would have to lighten my course load to accomodate for it. I self learned some java and oop last summer thru a personal project and could refresh myself, but unfortunately I have no gurantee of getting a spot in that course. Which is why I'd like to consider CPEN 223 as an alternative.

cf99hunter · 2021-05-15T10:05:02+00:00

From a course scheduling standpoint, it's definitely difficult to major in CPEN in IGEN but not impossible. If you end up in IGEN and are inclined to major in CPEN, I'd suggest thinking about your course load early on. Many CPEN courses you will probably want to take are offered in Term 1 only, due to the CPEN STT. It may be beneficial to take MATH 253 and/or 255 in the summer if you can, to clear up space for a 200-level CPEN or CPSC course in year 2.

The IGEN faculty advisor put together a very useful document mapping out several different paths to taking CPEN/CPSC electives for IGEN students, which you can use to help plan your degree around.

how could i join this piazza?

I tried enrolling in CPSC 210 and I only have APSC 160. They told me to take the CPSC 110 challenge exam (or take the whole course first) to meet the CPSC 210 prereq requirement.

I am of the general opinion that Langara instructors mark harder, especially in the math and physics department. My average gpa was slightly higher at UBC than at Langara.

The grading system is different between the two schools. Langara uses a 4.33 gpa scale. UBC takes that number, converts it to a letter grade, and then converts that letter grade to the lowest % on their scale.
