how is that a one or the other thing?

 

paste the course descriptions in here

I would love to do both but I only have the money/time for one emphasis.

 

Prereq for both:

CSE 100

CSE 101

 

Databases:

CSE 132A

CSE 132B

 

Web Server Languages:

CSE 134A

CSE134B

lol i find it funny that the pre-req for those courses is probably tougher than the upper level courses

 

i would do web server languages.

 

from my outsider perspective, it seems like a lot of people are looking for "full stack" . don't sleep on anything

Thank you westside!!!

if you go into databases with some business background you can make good money managing/designing Oracle systems.

but if youre balls deep in love with coding (i am not), go with languages.

Moved into a shared house for my senior/final year. Landlord is absolutely insane, mumbling shouting and shuffling around. Wants to live in the garage so he can work on the garden at weekends

 

sigh, cant wait to finish

[CosmicAsininity]

aghhh I need to leave home.  2 weeks left.

[CHINESEGOLD]

Does anyone here go to UBC?

[CosmicAsininity]

[CosmicAsininity]

My god what was I doing complaining about UCSD. This place fucking rocks.

don't know anybody that got hurt 

tbh I think more students were just pissed that power/campus wifi went out, some happy midterms got cancelled.

I thought this whole thing was kinda of a strangely/weirdly exciting thing even though I had to carry my bike down 5 stories, studio got closed, and the library was shut down when I have a case study plan/section due tomorrow.

 

I guess that just shows how sluggish my life has been lately lol...

[tac0tron]

Opening for the group show I helped organize and showing in was awesome, great way to start the quarter. ))

I'm a bit frustrated about readings

 

I've been doing all of them, yet the professor and TAs just end up highlighting everything that was important about them in lecture

[lmk1995]

lol

[CosmicAsininity]

heeeeeelp

[wahwho11]

relax. seems like you have anxiety

if you get the same information from your prof and TA's as you would spending time doing the reading, just skim through the readings before lecture. unless your exams will consist of tricksy obscure questions on the readings. you're doing just fine though! make friends in your classes and make a googledoc to post notes on readings/lectures. just don't do it with slackers.

 

i've been a bum about classes lately, i'm definitely not being challenged enough here. also all my classes are once a week which is weird as fuck. i'm gonna try and see if i can do research at the language labs here though, that might be kind of rad.

[CosmicAsininity]

thanks a bunch dudes

 

I just signed up for a dept. seminar and a campus zine.  Should be a good way to get more involved.  Not getting emails back from the fashion society though.

[tac0tron]

Are on campus with a friend, we ordered some coffee and desert. The place served coffee in a tea pot; it didn't feel right. Plus the coffee sucked.

cosmicinsanity, the Bistro at The Village is only okay. What classes are you taking? And lol the fashion society is a joke.

What exactly is your major and what is it that you want to do after graduation?

I was a science major who was taking a bunch of hard science classes. I never found most liberal arts classes like history interesting. Because I had a bunch of extracurricular activites in addition to the heavy courseload plus the need to squeeze some partying here and there (English being my second language didn't help), I barely had any time to read. Having to read 100 to 150 pages over a couple of days for each class was overwhelming.

I did a little bit of reasearch and came across enotes. Total game changer. It's a subscription based website that has chapter summaries, character analysis, and pretty much anything you want to know about a book. Not only do they have info on books that are commonly read e.g. Shakespeare,.they cover an extensive variety of novels and nonfictions. i think it's like 7 dollars a month if you get an annual membership. It's very much worth it.

If GPA is not all you care about and you actually want to read the material, then go ahead, I guess?

Also, every collge student needs to learn how to use electronic reference programs. i have always used endnote. saves a lot of time. most decent college library has tutoring sessions for endnote. take advantage of it.

once again, good gpa = more jawn copping opportunities and bottle service

[wEstSidE]

i was a TA for 3 different classes undergrad.

 

herpsky's advice is on point. if you go to office hours, you'll get something out of it.

[tac0tron]

Messed around too much this weekend. Have to start a programming assignment tonight that is due tomorrow at 10am. Trying not to freak out so much even though it's a tough assignment.

I've learned my lesson..

me? i'm a linguistics and french double major at uc berkeley, but i'm currently doing a year abroad in france finishing up my french major requirements. the university of lyon is a joke, which is why i want to do some thing productive like get involved in research in their language/linguistics labs. then when i get back home, i intend on going to sjsu to do the computational linguistics certification program, get internships, work, grad school maybe, etcetera etceteraaaaaaa.

nah, i was just trying to gauge how important his gpa was to him.

i.e. if failure (as in anything under an A-) is not an option

Different strategies for different students

my tips are anecdotal and for overzealous students who strive for 3.8+
