Title: Fall 2011 schedules
Post by: Falcon on August 05, 2011, 12:04:05 am
Post them!

Here's mine:
CE 4304 - COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
CE 4370 - EMBEDDED MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM
CE 4388 - SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT I
EE 3301 - ELECTRICAL NETWORK ANALYSIS

Retaking 3301 for better grade =/

BIOC 4331 - Biochemistry I: Structure, Catalysis, and Metabolism in Biological Systems
CSCI 4061 - Introduction to Operating Systems
STAT 3021 - Introduction to Probability and Statistics
ANTH 3306W - Medical Anthropology
CSCI 4996 - Research

Taking it easy with 15cr. I hate CS. Ugh.

16 credits/units.

ECS 152A: Computer Networks
PHY 110C: Relativistic Electricity & Magnetism
PHY 112A: Statistical Mechanics/Thermodynamics
PHY 115B: Quantum Mechanics in 3D Coordinates

Super shitty. May drop the CS class for another physics class: Circuits! It fulfills the lab requirements. Otherwise I have to take an 8hr/week lab course next quarter.

deadly: I took operating systems last quarter. I never went to a single lecture and got a 96% on the final/B+ in the class. It was awesome and almost a fun subject to learn. And writing kernel modules was cool.

Digital or electronic?

I enjoy learning about some of the topics in CS, but I've realized I don't care about computers anymore. I especially hate programming low-level things and would much rather use Perl/Python in 90% of my day-to-day tasks. I'm only doing research to fulfill my Honors requirement, otherwise I've hated all the research I've done, too. At this point, it's not worth it to switch out of my major. So, I'll suck it up.

That's how I feel about physics (hating it, only doing research because it looks good). And why I picked up a second major (computer science). Perhaps consider a minor in something you do enjoy?

Well, the only good thing about the CS department is it lets you take classes in other departments to count towards half the upper-division emphasis area. I'm using this as a chance to take biology-related (eg: Biochem, Immunology, Computation Neurosci) courses. It makes it suck a little less, but not by that much. C'est la vie.
