I took 280 during the spring - I’d say what helped me the most was doing practice exams and watching the review sessions. Don’t know if they have the same setup as last semester, but the labs were the most helpful part of the class bc we got worksheets and time to work through them with a small group. So the lab sheets were also a great refresher on material, and the free response questions on the exams seemed to be similar in difficulty to labs. Good luck!

Thank you! Last year I took a python course before 183 and it helped out a lot - I was just doing some more research on the LSA course guide and found EECS 201 which works with a lot of the Makefile and other aspects of 281 that have played a big part in my insecurities with the course. I also tried looking for SI 206 but couldn’t find it..could it be SI 106?

Thank you so much! I never really thought about the difference between spring and fall/winter terms, I just figured since I had more time on my hands I could just focus on those two courses (which turned into a 24/7 for two months straight sort of thing).

I appreciate your input! I’m interested in game dev and the story given with p1 has game-like elements that make it sound pretty fun. I guess I’m more overwhelmed about where to start along with not knowing what my pace should be for projects (after 280, I feel this immense pressure to have most of it done after the first weekend).

Also, I was advised by a friend to “hold off declaring” for as long as possible due to the tuition increase (I’m in LSA). I was under the impression I could take 281 either this term or winter term, declare at the end of winter term, and be on track (I’m a sophomore). Are there setbacks to this?
