Most of the shit you're learning in your SE specialization are skills I've been picking up on my own through internships and self study. While I can learn a lot of the CS theory of my own having an actual course helps out a lot.
Fucking agile methodology and other engineering practices are something you should pick up on the job not though a fucking school especially since that shit changes so often.

Wow that's better than most of the SE courses I've seen. My school teaches the CS program like a math program, no labs or anything just very theoretical and rigorous, I've always thought it was a pretty shitty going through it but looking back the level of rigor was good for me and probably the reason why the program has a half decent rep.
Good luck m8, come to the US if you want decent wages, I landed a 100k job in TX.

>>52485208

that you don't get a grade for turning in your work on time, you get the opportunity to have your work graded. what are you, special ed? is learning how to use a spoon to feed yourself one of your classes?

so you didn't take your work seriously, and you wanted a serious grade for that?
do you actually believe the clever students who say "yeah i just bullshitted it" when they got an A? protip: i didn't bullshit that paper, i just say that to sound cool. and you actually thought i was serious.
>i kicked ass
the only ass you ever kicked was your own by being a chump in school
>thanks to you
actually, the universities didn't want you. the teacher just reported accurately the quality of your academic craftsmanship, and the decisions to reject you were based solely on the fact that your marks were below the marks of other students who were competing for your spot in the lecture hall.

desu, even without English, you probably wouldn't have made it into SE, ECE or CS at Waterloo with those marks.
Still, it's scary how much one bullshit compulsory course can affect your future completely.
>>52485616
if you want practical you go to a trade school. practical instruction is showing you how to do your job. theory lets you understand the why behind the practical instruction, which you will recieve on the job.
when you go to a university you are there to learn theory. not to be trained how to do your very specific job.

I don't know how your school did it, but my 'english' class essays were who could bullshit the best on the first assignment. I still searched on sparknotes, I wrote the stupid essay. Hell, I would take an extra 3 hours just making stupid points so it would seem 'unique' and didn't copy paste key points. Every time I asked why my grades were bad, he would say something like "It wasn't good enough", "Second and third paragraph had bad points" or something vague. I didn't realize till the very end that the teacher would grade the first essay (which I remember I did very bad because I rushed it thanks to overlapping physics and math tests), assume the rest would be the same, and slap that as the final grade.
>>52485465
Well, I got in uoit, studied my ass off, got my 90's, and transfered out to U of T. I'm just pissed that I didn't have to waste 1 year if the english teacher could just give me my 80.

I'd be fine if it was math/science. At least I understand it's going to be a calculation error, or that I didn't understand the properties well enough. But when it's english where almost everything is subjective, I have no clue what is wrong. If I did a grammar or spelling error, that's fine, I deserve some marks off. But I couldn't find any.

it seems like it is a glorified baby's first programming, half assed web developer, management degree.
a degree where you have a little programming knowledge, little web development knowledge, and little knowledge about networks and security. zero knowledge about actually managing systems and providing support (rhce, rhcsa, msca, msce, ccna, call center, help desk, and extra) . you're not great at anything. a great degree for someone that wants to go into management for IT but that's it.
op just go to a community college and take some certification classes. after that then go back to university for such a degree. gain actual knowledge, experience, and skills first if a management role is your goal.

i just started and half my classes is full of people in the late 20's and early 30's. most at 18 are not mature enough for college. the high drop out rates is evdience enough. waiting till you are more mature, more stable, is the best thing to do. if i went to college at 18 i would of flunked out by 20. just like most of my friends did. instead i went right into the job market and worked my shitty minimum wage retail jobs, lived at home, soaked in the cash, realized what i truly wanted to do, and waited till i was more mature. i did all my crazy shit. college is now a breeze for me and so much easier than high school was and my professors love me, because i'm not an arrogant 19 year old dick head.
we need to stop telling people to go to college after high school and instead tell them to wait until they're older. no reason to go right off to college at 18 unless you are truly mature enough and know exactly what you want to do... and most importantly its a degree work doing and not a shitty "humanities" degree.

I work on a team where half of my department is contract work hired quarter-to-quarter (lots of interview all the time).

You are the reason CS is considered a fucking joke in academia
Armstrong State University
I went through the IT program, recently graduated, now in the MSCIS deal.
There's a nice group of professors for the IT/CS dept. and the programming competitions are pretty fun, ACM is a must, nice people in it.
IT deal was for the most part insultingly easy, spare the few hard as shit for no reason classes like Systems Analysis which is needlessly verbose. The final few courses were interesting at least, the capstone project particularly was my favorite. If everything goes well when they finish the research I'll get a credit on the journal for helping out. Going to try the master's deal with the MSCIS program and see how it goes. At the very least I still have a degree and the two courses I'm in right now are interesting. I should have audited some of the CS courses though.
In all honesty, I like little of IT, some of CS and Software Engineering, love managing and fucking with Linux and all that good stuff. I have no real clue though what I want to do, worse there's not much in the way of interesting tech work here either.
Bottom line is I need a job, at least an internship or something this summer. I'd just like'd to avoid some of the things I hate.
>>52485616
>>52485545
don't worry about your gpa, it rarely matters; if you have experience or some personal projects (or at the very least learn things and attempt things on) that you've done outside the curriculum that's appealing to employers
shit my friend had a minor in CS and out of the 100 companies he applied for, only 1 asked about the minor, I imagine even less cared about his gpa. they probably took note of all the shit he does in his off time and the couple years experience he's been working constantly

Doesn't suck because we have vast academic freedom to structure our own curricula.

>Are you American? Here a B- is a 80-82.9 and a B is 83-86 while a B+ is 87-89.9
It sort of depends on where you go for uni. My friend has the entire C+, B-, B, so on ecosystem, where I go it's just the straight FCBA weighted by credits.
>>52487289
Yeah, my father was in the military for 26 years, has been working as a civilian defense contractor for about 7 or so, makes a load more out of the army than he ever did in. He regrets not leaving earlier, though the retirement/benefits are good since he was in so long.
>>52487286
Better save that money. All the pajeets and ching chongs are getting perfect GPAs and flooding the market. It will be an employer's market pretty soon and they will get the cream of the crop, and replace unsatisfactory performers
>what university do you go to and why doesn't your program suck?
I didn't go to university.
I didn't take a program.
I instead I took a job in IT.
Taught myself everything.
I now work for a university, and make 90k/yr
I manage all the servers in the comp sci building.

Foreign degrees usually don't hold much weight unless it's internationally known uni.
>>52487327
Communication is more important than technical abilities desu senpai. Have fun getting replaced, you're obviously inept at it.
>>52487349
Yeah this is why all the foreign students try to get there masters/phd here. Foreign degrees are generally worthless in the states.
>>52487327
I wasn't a STEM major, I majored history....
Pretty much I networked my way into my current job without even knowing it and my social skills keep me employed. I'm being very serious when I say that if you can carry a conversation and make people laugh you're pretty much set...well at least in my case.
>>52487331
I did that too. Now I'm in uni abroad studying cs
>>52487349
Keep telling yourself that until its too late. There are plenty of world class universities outside of the states, and my old job, a uni nonetheless, flat out told me that a foreign degree is a benefit
ETH in switzerland.
Why it's good? I don't get shot on a daily basis. Oh and it's one of the top 10 universities worldwide.
A lot of math but it checks out.
>>52487444
>flat out told me that a foreign degree is a benefit
Not much of one though, it's like saying 'having your highschool diploma is better than not having it'.
Like saying 2 is bigger than 1. Of course it's better, but it's holds little weight when it comes from outside the US.
>>52487458
>top 10
Overall rankings maybe but no way close for cs.
>>52487464
too bad you're wrong. ever heard that buzzword "diversity"? yeah, prepare to get cucked by me because i had the ability to go abroad and get a degree from a top 50 uni instead of going to some average-tier in-state uni
>>52487503
furthermore, going to a top 50 uni WHILE maintaining a perfect gpa: 7.0/7.0
>>52487503
What are you even talking about? Yeah there are great schools worldwide but it's a fact that the US dominates college level education especially in cs. My state school is ranked top 20. It's cheaper and looks better to go to a state school than some random foreign school which may not even have that strong of a program
>>52487481
Yeah, you're right. Shout be around 25th for cs.
>>52487503
>too bad you're wrong. ever heard that buzzword "diversity"? yeah, prepare to get cucked by me because i had the ability to go abroad and get a degree from a top 50 uni instead of going to some average-tier in-state uni
"Diversity" only applies to women and blacks. Unless you're black or a woman "diversity" will literally do nothing for you.
I think at this point you're just trying to justify wasted money.
>>52487539
stay delusional, faggot. i'm gonna cuckhold you so hard, and i'm gonna relish it.
>>52487546
it's actually cheaper for me to go to uni in this country as a permanent resident than it is for me to go to an instate as a citizen of my own country (US)

Is this program worth a flying fuck? I had pretty terrible grades in school and low future prospects.
>>52487604
>information_technology_degree
no, because it's not a bachelors of science in mathematics
Tbh I wanna kill myself, I could've went to NYU or St. Johns but went to some shit private school because they gave me the most money on scholarship. The school is shit, but at least I'm saving money. I'm lucky CS is mostly self-study
>>52485553
I just applied
I don't know what the fuck I should major in
I like tech but math is not my strong point
Great at English
OK at Bio but love it

Hi /gadv/, amerifat.
I'm considering going to university now and I kinda want to go to college in London to try and start a new life and broaden my horizons a bit. I'm wanting to do EE or SE.
Have any of you done that before? How was it?
>>52487649
AFAIK you will spend ridiculous amounts of money attempting to go to school in the UK.
Look towards Germany.
>>52487649
>leaving one of the best countries for higher education
>spending atrocious amounts of money to get into the UK and spend even more on the university there when you can go to a perfectly fine State University here in the states.
For what purpose?
broaden your horizons in a different state, don't cuck yourself by leaving the country.

I'm American and the entire system is a joke. I've gotten A+'s getting around 50% of the marks on exams because of how retarded everyone else in the class is and the fact that they have to curve the class to a standard GPA.
>>52487331
oh wow 90k a year
you must feel so proud
>>52487661
I can't speak German, but I appreciate it.
>>52487710
Is it really that much extra? I can get scholarships. I just wanted to consider going somewhere neat for school.
I doubt any potential employer will find [state school #134] more interesting than the City University of London or something.
I've just grown up really being bored of America. But if you're absolutely sure it's a stupid idea I guess I won't.
>>52487834
>Discusd this with your parents or something holy fuck why are you getting life advices from 4chan
I don't have parents, friends, or anyone holding me back.
I don't know, it's less about the degree and more about trying to just experience shit in my life before I get too old.
The people in this thread are literally the only source I have if this is a good idea or not, considering everywhere else on the internet basically says "Yes! Do it! Your actions will never have consequences!"
If the general consensus is that I shouldn't, I can just go to my local uni. That's fine by me.
>>52487855
I don't get why you think going to the UK will be more of an "experience". Enjoy having to register for a license to be able to possess kitchen knives.
>>52482302
I go to a state school for uni.
Pros:
>Got a scholarship that pays for tuition
>Seem to be the best in my comp-sci courses
Cons:
>Scholarship adds extra unnecessary work
>School doesn't have a computer engineering program (Stuck in comp sci)
>School lacks many things ex: A class room with logic gate equipment, soldering stations, etc.
>Appear the best in my classes (Was a B+/A- HS student who didn't try. Still am only half trying)
>Scholarship program removes me from learning about university functions, and sticks me with the same group of people for lots of courses
Yeah. Basically my scholarship is the reason why I'm at that school. People there tell me I'm really smart, but I'm still sliding by half the time. 3.57GPA last semester, and I barely tried.
>>52487855
I personally would stay here senpai, though my reasons or more political than anything else.
If you think you are good enough for scholorships in the UK then you should be able to go to a decent university here. Choose wisely. You can always travel when you are out of Uni.
Video game maker here, been doing 3d art for about 5 years and c++ for about 2. Didnt want to fart around with an art degree so i went into cs
I failed precalc in highschool so i think the math is going to kill me.
>>52487881
I go to a small local Lutheran college for the same reason. Piss poor family, so their generous financial aid was the only way for me to get a degree without becoming the latest student to "default" on their debt.
>>52488016
>I failed precalc in highschool so
I did too. Wound up going to the local Lutheran college because they gave me a huge aid package for being a local. (The local high schools suck and the college has a reputation of giving scholarships to graduates of the high schools as a way of giving a fat middle finger to the local education system.) Ended up failing precalc two semesters and passing on the third and last allowed attempt. Calc I is what almost threw me out of the program. However, most of the professors know about the university's mission and the local high schools...er, I mean diploma mills. So, because it was only the exams that I was fucking up on (assignments/hw was a straight A-), I was allowed to retake the final. Passed the class with barely a C, but I passed.
Just try to ram your way through Calc. Discrete is Calc based but integration/derivatives are almost never used. More like basic proofs and formal logic theory.

There is literally no excuse for having a bad GPA.

I original studied Computer Science but swapped to Computing Information Technology. Computer Science was boring and didn't feel practical. Would not reccomend my university.

> You will be mediocre in your job, in your sex life, in your choices, and in your standards.
Absolutely nothing wrong with being mediocre. If you can handle your tasks at work and be happy in your daily life, you're fine, and you don't need to be much of a 'winner' for that. Fuck pointless competition.

Also, Calculus is pretty easy. Take it with Rizzo if you can. She's pretty nice and teaches the concepts pretty well.
