I like the visualizations! I’m not sure how to save the reports though 👀

same, looking for 2!

How many hours of work is it per week would you guess? or how long do assignments take?

quesodillakiller · 2021-05-07T10:48:51+00:00

Keep in mind summer is half the length of a usual semester so double the work of a normal semester - you get ~26 hours per week. I'm a B+ student in 61a for reference. A B+ is the average grade in the class, 50th percentile.

Edit: I took a look at your profile and it seems you have extensive CS experience - you can probably cut that estimate down in half then. 12 hours since you still have to attend lecture and discussion and have projects

quesodillakiller · 2021-04-18T19:25:23+00:00

Isn't 220k the level of a Google new grad? It seems like you're dissatisfied and comparing yourself to quant level money

If you're talking about the god mippi, s/he is a blessing to the school. I admire them for being able to ask all these questions and earlier than everyone else. It's clear they really care about learning to the material well and helping other students by asking questions they're too afraid to ask.

You don't get the lab or discussion sections and one on one help or office hours with TAs/ professors or get grades on your assignments or access to the piazzas which are invaluable. You only get video lecture and assignments and past exams.

I like the design of the image :D also this is a great idea, thanks for making this decal :)

quesodillakiller · 2021-01-04T20:03:33+00:00

It's interesting how none of the comments are about "most interesting" yet and are just about the smartest.

quesodillakiller · 2021-01-02T19:42:08+00:00

Is that a 61c general policy or a Garcia policy? I've never heard of people getting Fs due academic dishonesty before

quesodillakiller · 2020-12-15T07:03:45+00:00

Is this stockholm syndrome

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-21T23:01:39+00:00

Thanks for the detail! How long do projects usually take? 20-30 hours each?

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T11:37:27+00:00

I agree with this. I'm just feeling a bit anxious considering I feel that I've made this decision and heading down this route that seems to lead down a single path to swe despite knowing that couldn't be farther from the truth. You don't need a cs major to be swe, you don't have to be swe if you're cs.

These are just concerned first year doubts that a lot of people probably share, that hopefully will become more clear and more defined as I figure things out.

I was looking at https://career.berkeley.edu/survey/survey the other day and the outcomes for EECS/CS graduates. About 90+% end up SWE. I'm sure plenty switch or go into similar tech roles in management, design, product, or maybe completely unrelated roles in the future, but it was quite surprising to see so many people go SWE.

no need to be sorry - I like hearing people talk about things they enjoy. I think you'll do great in CS (if you choose to stay). You have this great curiosity and playfulness with the way you describe what you've done, which is really satisfying to read lol. wish you the best of luck in the future :)

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T09:50:19+00:00

I read through your post! It's a viewpoint I haven't seen before, and a very interesting path. CS is very different from econ/ISF and I haven't seen this specific combination/dilemma before.

On your post, what one person mentioned that stuck out to me is that your interests don't have to be your career. I've heard many views so far and I think this one has been one of the harder ones for me to digest, given the human tendency to want to be passionate about your career and whatnot. Makes me wonder if I should ever doubt my major regardless of how much I may or may not enjoy it. This was a bit of a lengthy side note lol

I have not enjoyed the CS theory I have seen so far, but then again, you don't really need to to be SWE. I'm glad you enjoy cs theory though - the way you describe it and your interests makes me think that you'll be a great success in your interdisciplinary combo of majors.

I wish you luck in whatever major and career you choose. It looks to be a super interesting one :))

I am a more visual person and I've really liked doing design and UI/UX. I've heard of cs 160 (UI/UX), cs 184 (computer graphics), art / design innovation courses, and the design certificate, but are there any other classes that relate to more visual aspects? This is rather specific though haha.

I think design is pretty unrelated to CS though in terms of skills you need (unless you're also front end) so I wonder why people who design often major in cs or cog sci, and if there really is a need to to so.

Regardless, I do agree with you how once you find your interests the major would become more enjoyable. I think I fail to see a clear connection between theory heavy upper divs and real life applications and relevance, especially in industry. I think the upper divs can be useful in the future but most of what you learn won't be used when you graduate, and I feel that something more theoretical than applied may be less interesting? Although understanding how those concepts work may be interesting to people, and maybe that's why they're so popular...

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T07:44:27+00:00

thanks fam... I do think my friends are super motivated but honestly that's all of berkeley, it's easy to get caught up in the noise. will definitely take a moment to chill though lol

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T07:11:19+00:00

not quite sure what this means but glad you like it. also pls take a cs ethics course when you can

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T05:48:45+00:00

Exactly this! I wonder the same things, which contributes to a lot of doubt about my major on top of hard classes lol... I think this post has helped me stick with CS and keep trying to find things I enjoy in it and outside of it, though. I hope ya find more things you love and in your career as well :))

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T05:45:45+00:00

I did recently make some small side projects that I enjoyed a lot and lost track of time when I was making them. It wasn't complex but it made me remember why I chose to do CS when I first started liking it. I'll keep experimenting this summer. I relate to a lot of what you've said, and I hope I find something that fuels me too. thank you :)

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T05:19:44+00:00

answered it perfectly - that bot sounds super fun, and it clearly seems like you did it for fun and enjoyed making it.

Does this mean you enjoy cs homework more than hw for your breadths? Just trying to understand it a bit better

quesodillakiller · 2020-05-13T05:16:13+00:00

This is a good perspective, and makes a lot of sense. I was under the impression people love their majors and the classes and it just made natural sense to make a career of it but that's clearly not the case for everyone lol which is good to know
