Computer Science....

It seems like there are quite a few CS students on this board, and was wondering what the general feeling towards the coure was.
I'm not doing it myself, but im thinking more and more about changing couse(if its possible) and CS would probably be what i'd change to if it were posssible.
I'm doing TP at the moment, and tbh i'm not at all interested in the topics. The only class i actually like doing things for is the computation class. Obviously i'm going to give it time, maybe even the year, but if i havent picked up interest by then, im out of here. So was wondering how the CS'ers find the course.

monkeys with calculators,

VIVA LA PHYSICS!!!!!! (and to a lesser extent chemistry... but never geography)

Go away fly :P

(aimed at fade btw, not OP

)

bah CS, its fer gurls...(like crash).... And gets him laughed at by women.....

edibility · 08-11-2005 8:53pm

I like it tbh, it's interesting and varied.

fade · 09-11-2005 5:13pm

well sir, without us "advanced materialists" your precious machines would never have been created!

ah ha!!!!!!

and dont even get me started on engineers.......

Nietzschean · 09-11-2005 5:26pm

without us mathematicians none of your professions would exist

Skitbra · 09-11-2005 5:27pm

Without any fags like you there'd be no sound people like me.

air_vent · 09-11-2005 5:30pm

Monkeys with calc is right!!!!

And lets not get into this who's course is better jive cause we all need each other in a way, except engineers cause the monkeys can do all that stuff, i can give them my brothers old yellow cash register that goes ping , you know the ones. the monkeys will probably regin supreme with their engineer slaves with them,

THE END IS NIGH

Bah. we thought an inability to get laid would kill off this unfortunate geeky race!

I love fades angry posts. Skitbra - I can assume from your nick that you

1) Have a severe case of the ****s.

2)Need a bit of support from somewhere, almost in a brassiere manner, so as to feel cool - even if its people being mean to you.

How Cute

Whoa, it took a whole 2 posts for this thread to go off topic.

Anyway, its a rough enough course.. though I guess some are enjoying it. If you are going to change for this year, do it soon, and even then, you'll have a fair bit of catching up to do!

Parts kick ass, other parts suck. The maths is fun, nothing too challenging, but still fun.
Computing is deadly.

asm.
Programming - Don't get me started. WHERE'S THE DAMN CODE?!
Electrotech - zzzzz.
DLD - Sometimes confusing, but generally fun.
Computers and society - err... yeah. Huh? yes. Much like Descartes who.... huh?

Jim_No.6 · 15-11-2005 7:32pm

nosmo is in TCD CS?!

Yes. And he's behind you.

It gets me up in the morning. I don't know whether that's good or not but meh.

Wow... sounds like some things don't change in Comp Sci degrees...

I did mine (cough) 20 years ago (cough) and we had a 'software engineering' module... those of us who had coded (shock, horror) for money knew we were kurfukled when the lecturer told us that no module should have more than 30 lines in it. Including comments. Turned out later that the lecturer had never worked in the real world... yeah, I flucked that course badly. Really badly.

Back to Corporate Finance... someone pass the whiskey...

JackKelly · 16-11-2005 1:45pm

any more opinions?

Also, what is the general thought behind doing an Electrical Engineering degreee over CS?

exiztone · 16-11-2005 8:00pm

CS would be great if it weren't for the electrotechnology class.

Can you drop in year 2?

You have no choices until 4th year.

During freshers' week, the Sci-fi soc told me that half of the Electrotech/Communications was difficult and the other half was easy. Which is the easy one and which is the difficult one?

Mystic Fibrosis · 16-11-2005 11:03pm

Electrotech = difficult, especially if you've never done physics before.
Apparently Communications is pretty easy.
