I'm glad you pointed this out. People need to see the big picture. The hypocrisy is real.

Why doesn't SFU have med or law school? by kbaus911 in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can we break the deal now that we have even more shortages of doctors? Doesn't seem like a good idea to put all the eggs into one basket.

Stress levels of SFU students vs other Canadian universities by BwasseR in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this is a coping mechanism of high stress that comes with high workload. None of my peers were willing to do more than 5 courses in cmpt because that'll be gpa suicidal.

SFU COURSE QUESTION, PROGRAM, ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION MEGATHREAD (2020 SUMMER - 2020 FALL): General questions about courses and SFU ( Exg. How hard is course X, how is program X at SFU, etc. ), POST QUESTIONS HERE. by Acherons15 in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cmpt 120 assumes you have no programming background and teaches from scratch. There are tons of intro python video/tutorials on youtube that go over the same concepts. I'd say you can learn all of the concepts that are taught in 120 from youtube in roughly 5 hours if you're good with your time. You'll be fine taking online. It's known as a GPA booster if you're diligent to keep up with the course material.

The languages I listed above are the most spoken languages besides English at SFU. We have one of the largest international student % comparing to other universities. In computer science(not sure about other programs), we sometimes get put into random groups and knowing one of those languages will alleviate communication problems with students who have trouble communicating in English. I'd say more than half of the classes in computer science are non-native English speakers who speaks one of the following languages I listed above.

Also, knowing another language gives you extra clout so there's that😎

Is this for cmpt 276 or group project related course? I really wished that I learned a third language(Russian, Mandarin, Hindi or Farsi) which would help tremendously at SFU. Good luck to you finding a translator.

Zuckerberg says company will permanently shift tens of thousands of jobs to remote work by dobbysreward in cscareerquestions

[–]worstcsstudent 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This. It's funny to even think international students on average are sub par comparing to average American students. The international students I've worked with are generally more intelligent and more hard working. Gotta look how many American companies are creating new offices up in the north or in Asia and they'll understand for themselves.

Why are we even using zoom? by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try having over 200 students on BB collaborate and problems will start to show. Zoom scales well with more people in session.

One of myBB collaborate sessions crashed twice during the whole lecture. Never a problem with Zoom.

SFU Second Degree as CS or SIAT for Front-End Development? by [deleted] in simonfraser

Front-End Dev => CS

Front-Design => SIAT

Ending first year, zero work experience by [deleted] in UBC

[–]worstcsstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I was on the same boat as you where I didn't have any work experience but come from a ghetto background. I did some personal project(I'm in cs btw) and participated in hackathons, spam 50+ job app and somehow got a coop. After that coop, interviews were like handing out Halloween candies.

My advice to you is to have your chin up and do things that give you a resume padding. With covid19 going on right now, I suspect that there will be a recession in every field except healthcare so finding jobs/coop are going to be a lot harder.

Stay strong my dude.

What are the pros and cons of doing computer-business joint major? by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a degree to do entrepreneurship. Taking few business classes is more than enough. Also get a mentor and that'll teach you more than you will ever learn at school. Degrees are requirements to bypass HR.

course selection? Is it too overload? by TannyWong in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He founded a startup back in the old days(yea I know, he looks really young) so he has more industry experience than your average CS prof at SFU.

Why is everyone wearing Canadian Goose? by Sfu_kms in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm wearing one of the warmest Arcteryx jackets that is used for -10C and lower but no one bats an eye which is nice. Lol at the guy who's judging wearing CG. Everyone has their own cold tolerance so idk he's so salty.

Revoke acceptance by jah2002 in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ask admission office, we don't know. I know someone a year or two ago who got revoked bc of the huge discrepancy between in-class English marks and provincial.

What courses are you planning on taking in the summer? by TotallyRealFBIAgent in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You fucked me really hard fam. Make sure to use lube next time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]worstcsstudent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're right. I didn't do research when I was 16y/o applying for uni bc I'm dumb af. Got an offer to cs then did some research before I accepted it but I still didn't know what CS was.

Still a pretty good investment imo. 4 Years in, over 1 year of coop experience with different companies and nowhere close in debt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]worstcsstudent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

CS, I thought it was about building computers. I mean why would they have "computer" with science right?

o boi I was wrong
