Who grades the homework assignments?

So did your curriculum involve a decent amount of liberal arts classes mixed with CS classes? Do you think your understanding of computer science is as solid as the people who did …

Thanks. Unfortunately admissions are extremely competitive, and I hear only the people with high GPA + all finished pre-reqs get in. I figure if I get accepted somewhere, I'd rathe…

Thanks for the feedback. Although I'm not experienced enough in programming to be valuable anywhere, I will definitely look into your startup when I significantly improve my skills…

Yes, it's a serious question. I'm a community college student who is applying this fall to transfer into a University of California. Although most universities offer CS as a B.S. d…

Truthfully, I never had the interest to learn programming as a kid despite being offered lessons by family and friends. My first year of college I took a ton of random classes, but…

That makes a lot of sense. I've often found myself dreaming about a problem I struggled with before going to bed, then magically "realizing" the solution immediately after waking u…

True. One of the calculus courses at my college is a weeder class. I have met so many people who gave up on their dreams of being scientists and engineers because they couldn't han…

This is awesome. GEB has been sitting on my bookshelf for about a year but I never got around to reading it. I'll give it a shot, and it's great to know there's a community out the…

I may sound asocial saying this, but I couldn't care less if other people acknowledge my cyber existence. What does it matter if someone commented on my new photos or wrote on my W…

I'm currently a community college student planning to transfer into a 4 year university as a Computer Science major. Although I'm applying next year, I need to start thinking about…

I completely agree. In my Calculus 2 class (integrals and series), the most difficult thing to work with is the algebra and trigonometry. The class is conceptually easy, but our br…

Its not that self-help books are bullshit, its that most people don't have the willpower to actually change their lifestyles. They're afraid of stepping outside of their comfort zo…

That catchphrase is stupid. This isn't reddit.

A friend did something similar. For every programming puzzle he solved, he would try to find 5 alternative solutions.
