How many people here have taken any type of computer sciences class, in school or otherwise? I just want to see how many people here have :D .
I'm taking my first year as a freshmen. Do I still have to take comp. apps, or does computer science cover it?
I took two courses in C++ as a senior in high school. Now as a freshman in college, I'm finishing up Intro to CS. I have the final for that tomorrow. Next term, I'm taking an intermediate C++ course.
If you'd like to see all of the classes that I need to take at Drexel to get my BS in CS, you can go here:

i took 4 years of Computer Science in high school.
Now I am in my Freshman year of College and am currently taking 2 computer science courses.
No CS at my school.
I am finishing up my first semester of computer science now; I'll be taking another computer science course next semester. In concepts, I 've learned virtually nil so far; but I have learned the syntax of Java and learned just how boring the programs you write in computer science courses are.
I'm surprised your BS in CS requires economics classes. I guess that's good, especially if you're going to wind up writing code for accounting or something like that.Quote:

f you'd like to see all of the classes that I need to take at Drexel to get my BS in CS, you can go here:
3 years of it in HS. 1 year VB, 1 C++, 1 AP C++.
Defonantly, i'm learning java too.. it sucks, i havnt leaned anything new - eaven about java syntax itself:rolleyes:Quote:

C++, Java, Robotics, Numerical Methods, Cryptology, Finite Element Analysis (next semester)
Drexel is all about making students ready for the business world. That's why we've got a great co-op program, and that's why we have to take courses that have to do more about business than our major. It has its advantages and disadvantages. I'm somewhat reserving judgement for now.Quote:

College graduate with several degrees, part time graduate student. Been there, done that. Been out in the real world for a little over a year now. It's a job and it pays the bills.
I took a lot of CS courses, never learned much because by the time I got there, I already knew most of what was taught.
Had some funny and completely off the wall professors, though.
here are all the courses that I need to take to get my degree.
Hey Joshdick, what the hell is calc IV?? do they streatch out other courses or what? I've never heard of calc being broken down into 4 classes.

All the classes that start with CS-###. I also took Java as an elective.
axon, Drexel is on a quarterly schedule. That means it has four 10-week terms a year rather than two longer semesters. As a result, it's not possible to cover as much material in a single term. That's probably why it takes Drexel four courses instead of three to teach calculus.
This sucks. My high school has NO CS classes.
I know how you feel...my high school also didn't offer any CS classes when I was there.....but you can talk to your councelors if you can take a CS class in a community college that will transfer as a math credit or maybe an elective. My good friend did that in his high school; he took an intro c++ course at our community college and it was counted towards graduation credits in high school, and then as an intro class in the university he went to.Quote:

I am studying a lot of computer courses. But not specifically cs. Like Network Engineering and DTP. I like to study CS, but CS is very expensive.
BTW u guy know the name of university that give Network+ exam in London??
I have finished intro to computer science, it was somewhat boring to me(as in, I could of just bought the textbook and read it and would have been finished in 4 weeks if I read it fast enough). I however did like the prof. as he used to work for NASA so it was fun talking about some of the crap that goes on there. I have a C++ class this coming semester, which I am taking cause you can't CLEP out of it unfortunately so while I am beyond it, I have to do it. I hopefully can get through college before they decide to go with JAVA as the tought language(this is one part of computer science I disagree with, the stupid prof. in trying to progress to natural language systems use stupid bloated languages like JAVA).
I am seriously thinking about busting my ass off, getting in some needed courses, and transfering to caltech,mit, drexel, or another one of the more prestigious colleges. My advantage with MIT is that I am a very good test taker, and my family actually is pretty darn good friends with a aeronautical engineering MIT PhD laureate(however, the odds of getting in are slim still as MIT turns down alot of people).
i am rambling on off-topic, so I close my post here.
Yeah, MIT is really rough. The once rejected a valedictorian from my high school.
Drexel is a very nice place, though. Philly rocks, too. I'd love to see ya come here :-)
