Hey friends, I just finished my last exam of my degree, so I thought why not make a video on 5 things I wish I knew before studying Computer Science!
Hope it was helpful and don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe 😊

When I was an undergraduate student in engineering in the ‘70s, my professor gave us this advice: “You are not here to learn engineering. You are to get a piece of paper that will give you a good start in life. If during your time here, you did learn something about engineering, that will be purely incidental”.
@MagdelineHuang
@MagdelineHuang 11 місяців тому
I love this! I can only agree :) No degree is future-proof and there is no one best degree. No one knows what the future may hold. What we can do however is to be resilient and adaptable in the face of uncertainty. Let's continue working on our goals and not be influenced by fleeting external forces beyond our control.
@frostsmaker8966
@frostsmaker8966 11 місяців тому
And I didn't get that paper. The government had designed the university to generate that piece of paper for students so they have a "qualification" to be an employee. I don't have that "paper" but I don't care anymore. I just force my way out by coding and creating things that help my own business. Yes, instead of becoming an employee I choose to be a business owner. I love skills because it is real, I hate paper because they are paper. I'm an action guy type not a reader. I only read when there is a problem to solve. Yes, to the point on the mark.
@dont_listen_to_Albo

@@frostsmaker8966 The piece of “paper” serves to signal to prospective employers that the holder of the piece of paper is smart and capable. For most people, this provides a springboard for a (hopefully) promising future. For yourself and the likes of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, you and they didn’t need the piece of paper.

@TheSeanjohn2012
@TheSeanjohn2012 9 місяців тому
Yeah, answer @shunnybunnyc's question. As a marketing major actually being taught marketing I can inform you: telling kids you'll teach them engineering and proceeding to not teach them engineering is called false advertising. The only reason why your piece of paper has any value is because other people think it does. If people weren't willing to learn new things on the job, this entire system would fail, and in alot of developing and third world countries, it is failing.

if you don't mind going back to school (preferably a community college) you can get your AS in computer programming to better build upon you CS degree, they will go through and give you all the fundamentals and show you the tools and industry standards. A lot of post grads will go back and grab their AS because they feel as though their degree didn't properly prepare them for the real world well enough.

Just finishing a CS masters. I found that there were two types of students who did well in CS: 1) those who are natural mathematicians as they could breeze through the math and focus on the programming; and 2) those who could already code as the programming is easier for them and they could focus on the math. I met a few students who fit both of these and they were superstars. I on the other hand was neither and CS was pretty brutal!

Which I in the long run helped me in building effective resume and acquire useful skills(which maybe I wouldn't have known that I need to learn or find it later on and didn't have the time to explore) I hope this answer helps.

About to get my AA and I haven't practiced much but here and there ill read code but mainly focused on passing pre recs. Once I enter my bachelors program however I'll start doing nothing but coding then. Just remember to just pass your classes, you may not start doing much coding at all but push through!! I wish I known that most of my time would be pre recs due to me wanting to transfer but I have only taken 2 coding classes sadly. For practice either read code and make sure you can understand what's going on within it, and do fun small projects. Good luck yall!

Thank you for this video. I think that computer science is mainly teaching you how to "think like a computer", if it makes sense. Also, I see your program is a bit different than mine due to the uni. I learned computer systems architecture, linear algebra, and C programming during my first semester (among others), and now I'm learning object-oriented programming (through C++), operating systems & security, and data structures & algorithms for my second semester. I will admit though, that I struggled deciding between choosing software engineering and computer science. Ultimately, I chose CS, and I do not regret it whatsoever, I love it, and couldn't be any happier withe the courses I'll be taking. Again, thanks for the video, and have a lovely day.

Interesting! So it seems like the CS degree syllabus may not have evolved that much over time in comparison to how tech has progressed (eg esp in terms of how frontend today is so different and diverse to just plain HTML and CSS back in the day) 🤔Object-oriented programming is definitely a thing that was emphasised in my CS degree though because we focussed on Java.

thank you for these tips! I've been in the business world for a while now and I'm going to get my masters in data science. I'm looking through the curriculum and it looks tough with classes on python, c, sql and stats but I've always wanted to dip my toes in CS.

I don't know why people have this weird misconception that CS is about learning software engineering. Literally the name is "Computer Science", and not "Software Engineering". You will learn about science and math of computers essentially to become a computer scientist but with a lot of other career paths alongside it, but the main thing is the science of computers and computation. You are taught to become a scientist and not a software developer. You're basically Mathematicians that use computers.

Something that no one ever talks about that before even getting to the "cool stuff" is that there's a ton of math classes you have to get through.

Hey mag ! Hope everything is going great for you ! im 23 rn going back to school is my main focus now I appreciate you’re video a ton ! I have a couple of questions . Did you start at a community college or Can you start your degree path at a community college also when going to school when are you able to do internships or do you typically wait till you are done with school and do you think going to school and taking a not so stressful boot camp is manageable as well and would you recommend boot camps maybe besides going to college . i hope you can reach back🙏
@MagdelineHuang
@MagdelineHuang 5 місяців тому
Hello! I went to a normal university in NZ called the University of Otago. I don't think community colleges are very common in NZ so don't really have much insights to give on that. In terms of internships, I recommend applying after your first or second year. Having a portfolio of projects that you have done really helps with your internship applications. I talk more about portfolios over here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kXJ-mmimaYOHpZs.htmlsi=Db2U5vpuU9UvTs5z&t=213. As for bootcamps, I've personally never done one, so maybe you could research what bootcamps there are available and speak to graduates of the bootcamps to learn from their experiences. I hope this helps and all the best! 😊

I think it is best you learn on your own what she mentions in this video, then getting your degree will be easier.The school doesn't teach you many things as she mentions on the video, just pretty much the rules and then you have to figure out everything on your own join Udemy teacher name Angela she has the best teaching and teach you what you actually need to to know to be a front end developer back end also if you don't want to do that, there others courses too she teach and other teacher really help me me to learn python JavaScript html CSS learning C++ now I am someone who never knew what was a programing language and was really bad at math I think anyone can do you just need to study everyday 4hr to 5hr if you want to learn faster do more hours

school teaches you the basics. most of your learning will be on the job and on your free time. its important to invest time outside of work and school to get better. There just isnt enough time at work and school to learn because you have to get work done. UKposts, google, books plus practice outside of work will separate you from the rest.
