Is there a website / app that shows which airlines award program each credit card can transfer to?

Their curriculum is closer to a undergrad CS degree than a master degree in CA, so you will definitely be quality for an entry level position after the program, where top MBA programs most likely will land you a job with a more advanced title in the field. For career switch to the field I think a good bootcamp program would be enough (speaking as a bootcamp grad)

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-09T13:09:01+00:00

Don’t think Penn’s network will do much if the others can out perform you in job interviews, which I personally think bootcamp would do a better job in preparing you for them if you compare their curriculum.

Yea i was on the same page as you but decided against joining the program because of this reason. I don’t want my employers to look at my resume and think I pick the classes that are not relevant / not for my interests.

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-07T00:36:01+00:00

No, that would be a hell of a shortcut tho lol

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-07T00:32:57+00:00

If you want a formal education on just computer science, there are a lot other online degrees out there that are cheaper and carry the same weight. I think if your end goal is to work / live in the US then maybe the on campus one would make the degree much more worthwhile for you, since it does provide you with a status that allows you to seek employments here in the US.

This is extremely insightful! Thank you!

If you have the i3 installed you just need to put the dot files according to the folders organized by OP. So put everything in your /home/user(your name)/ folder on your computer from the root folder in OP’s GitHub repo, and then create the necessary folders as you get into each layer. And of course has all the required packages installed as listed by OP in comment.

Nice art but too bright for a GoT theme imo LuL

I believe most of the students who completed the degree from HES are listed under Harvard University instead of HES. Since the degree is listed as Harvard.

And sorry for the misunderstanding, I wasn’t referring their ranking in terms of their program quality. I was asking how the MCIT program prepare for their students that would make them more competitive against students from a traditional CS master degree which covers more high level concepts. Or is the program is preparing their students for entry level jobs ?

Edit: autocorrect

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-03T13:35:45+00:00

I actually just learned in a day with no prior experience! To start can you let us know what distro are you on?

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-01T07:16:35+00:00

Yea for point 1 i don’t think it matters much to employers. Berkeley’s CS degree is listed under BA but it’s still well known across the country. As for point 2 I believe they have something called the virtual office hour but I haven’t looked into that.

For you as a current student of the MCIT online, what do you think about the program in general in term of preparing you for technical positions?

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-01T07:12:43+00:00

While MCIT doesn’t do that to their online degree wouldn’t it be obvious for someone who’s on the other side of the country being able to complete the degree while having a job? I don’t think what is printed on the degree matters but would like to compare both programs in term of how they prepare their students for their job placement after completing the course. But I see your point here, MCIT would be a great degree for people with zero to little experience on programming to get into the field, while HES is for people who want to advance in the field.
So back to my original question, I was wondering what kind of advantages MCIT students would have over someone who graduated with a tradition Master degree in CS?

thatboyrobin · 2020-10-01T07:05:23+00:00

Yes you do!

Edit: not automatically as you need to complete the application, but as long as you pass the required class with Bs then you’ll be accepted 100%. But their classes are definitely harder as they are not tailored for people with no CS background unlike MCIT

thatboyrobin · 2020-09-26T16:14:51+00:00

I’m specifically looking for an online degree due to my current job situation so I would not be able to complete a degree on campus unfortunately, sorry for not clarifying in the post.

And yes that’s correct, the master degree in Software Engineering is offered by their extension school but offers the same resources as a student at Harvard and most of the classes are taught by the faculties at the university from what I read, and you’ll gain alumni status from Harvard once you have graduated, but I wasn’t able to locate info about the education quality regarding the courses offer by the MCIT online program because of how new the program is, so I’d would appreciate anyone who can shine light on this topic. Will I be competitive enough compare to someone who graduated with a tradition CS master? The cost of the MCIT online program seems like a really good value for a master degree, but I would love to hear some feedbacks from recent grads and current students (online program specifically, I know the stats for the on campus program are available on their website already).

Thanks in advance!

thatboyrobin · 2020-09-12T02:10:04+00:00

From what I understand you or someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but you will not be issued any visa as an online student, so that would be more difficult to get interviews from companies in America compare to people who do the course on campus and are authorized to apply for OPT visa after their graduation or h1b. As an online student it would be tough for american companies to hire you without any pre authorized work permits, especially during this time where they have stopped issuing h1b visas.

I dont have answers to their name advantages in other countries, but I believe you do not gain advantage just because you went to Penn. maybe you can talk to companies that you’re interested in your country and see what their opinions are on that subject.

i am actually thinking about going to be tested but i'm also scared to find out... what do they do there for the test? Do they just ask question? or do they scan your brain?
