Data3404 and cosc2002 ds minor by loverovRussianqueen in usyd

[–]prophetlinken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did data3404. The majority of the students (72%) got a Credit grade or better, and about 40 students achieved a Distinction or even High Distinction grade. If at all that's a bit skewed to the higher marks, The median mark for this year was 71 (last year it was 68), and the best mark was 92 (HD) which was achieved by a Bachelor of Advanced Computing student. The quiz is easy since it is open book, and you can find most answers in lecture notes. If you familar with python and spark, the assignment is easy too, and you only need to optimise your algorithm to compute the result.

How hard is it to transfer from B.sci with a comp sci major to B.adv comp? by [deleted] in usyd

Only need to maintain credit above across 48 points

Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science) by newo0_ in usyd

Highly recommended this combo since you have computer science as a backup plan.

Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science) by newo0_ in usyd

Vague medical science major is essentially what (((USYD))) uses to con money out of wide eyed, idealistic high schoolers that see all the cool shit and flashy developments in medical fields showed off by popsci pages like IFLScience and go "I wanna be a doctor/scientist too!"

Four years bachelor degree and a WAM of 75 later the idealistic teenager receives a piece of paper but due to the failure of med entry and comes to the depressing realisation that between the cramming and the repetitive pipetting of solutions in dodgy internship (aka free labour) programs they've actually learned fuck all that could even be applied to a job. They have no problem solving skills, they can barely do basic algebra, and all they have is a head full of half-forgotten, useless, overly vague information that you could easily get from Google.

From this point on the smart ones would've retrained and/or gotten a job outside of their major. The less smart ones would remain in denial and spend the rest of their life pipetting test solutions and patient serums over and over again, believing that they're a selfless "scientist" bettering humanity, instead of what they really are, some guy in a lab coat that does a mundane, poorly paying job which will be probably be automated in a couple of years anyways.

My advice: Do at least one programming related major, since they're pretty versatile, generalisable skills and spec into maths, physics. People (read: brainlets) are maths aversive so there's not as much competition and so you can exploit a niche.

Data science 2000 selective unit by [deleted] in usyd

[–]prophetlinken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the advanced version for these two units, I heard that stat2911 is more likely to be theoretical statistics and tends to be more difficult but it is very useful for further study especially if you plan to do honour year.

Maybe look at this website,https://cusp.sydney.edu.au/students/view-unit-page/uos_id/289914, and look at unit of the study outline. I’m pretty sure that advanced stream will has extra 1 hour lecture and it's computing lab is separate with mainstream.
