Math classes

Re: Math classes

Im going to Comp Sci to learn more of the programming foundations since Im not too strong in that area. U of C doesnt ever guarntee you a job but it helps. For me all the schools i've been to, U of C is the most challenging. University defintely has a higher standard.

One thing I would say is that you don't learn much programming in the UofC program. A lot of classes just kind of expect you to have already learned it or to pick it up on your own. This isn't necessarilly a strategy I agree with (it produces some terrible programmers), but at the same time I think that programming is not really what its "all about".

Re: Math classes

Well I have a basic understanding already =P I would rather get a degree while im gaining knowledge then not getting a degree and just learning in my room.

Same thing, different program name. Only difference I can see is that in your early years they make you take things like statics/dynamics and other crap that I can't possibly see helping.

University education is awesome in my opinion,


and secondly,


Am I the only science guy around here.




When i was in University I couldn't wait to be done. Now that I'm done, I totally miss it. Probably miss more the social scene , but I do miss going to class. Now, I spend alot of my spare time reading.

Re: Math classes

I agree 100% Volinder uni was a great time. I do have a BSc with my major in Geography, which is why I am working as an accountant, hence I am now working towards and HBComm and my CGA.

It seems this is not the first discussion we have had about you guys and your computer jobs vs education.

Re: Math classes

Engineering is the bombtang... Yes they make you take things like statics/dynamics, but if you can get through it all, it's totally worth it.

I'm currently on my internship and I miss school so much it hurts. It's by far the best times I've had in my life.

If anyone has the opportunity to get a degree, they should take it.
