IMAGINE USING A LANGUAGE WITHOUT LOOP :)

All the ******* FORMAT requirements of this course is SHIT. Yes permanent comments should use ;; but you cant delete your stub and it uses single ; :) Left brain fighting with right brain :) And the AUTOGRADER is also shit. Yes though two constants are bytes to bytes same according to check-expect but you cant replace it with another :) correct=wrong here :) and that "Your @dd-template-rules and cond question-answer pairs MUST BE IN THE SAME ORDER" is also shit. yes imagine it has the first part which is a string and the second part is a simple boolean , the third part is another string. Instead of just checking the ez boolean at the beginning and check the other 2 together with another question you have to first check the string and the bool and back to the string ^_^ you want a more c...read more

If you could just spend a month learning about all this and take that challenge exam or just transfer credit to skip all the terrible things through all the term^_^

Hard course. The recursion they teach you will be used in the future. Hard assignments and labs.

Recursion, graphs, dr racket

Helped on piazza.

Labs and assignments are very hard but not worth that much. The exams allow you to implement as much as you are comfortable with and the grade you depending on which question you want to answer.

Pretty straightforward. TBH if you don't get 90+ in this course just go do a bootcamp or smth. No point in struggling in math and CS if it's just for money. Go ahead and struggle if you actually enjoy it.

Useful for jobs? No. Funny functional programming? Yes.

Interesting guy ig.

Wack ass language and methods

The workload is very high, you need to keep up with the course in time or you will feel very difficult, you need to watch the video on EDX before each lecture to learn it first or you will not understand what the professor is saying during the class. This class takes a long time, and his exams are torturous for newbies. However, Gregor is a very good professor, even though his attitude may make you feel less friendly, he can make the course content very clear.

Watch videos on EDX before each classes, attend Office Hour as much as possible. Try your best to catch up. Do more exercises like past mids and finals.

Amazing course!!

shit asf just dont fall behind

Just keep up with the material and make sure you don’t mess up the midterms

There’s going to be a huge difficulty difference between midterm 1 and 2 So don’t slack off

first half is slow but the second half is fun and exciting. My favorite parts were search, graphs, and generative recursion; you get to write code that produces fractals, a Sudoku solver, and a maze solver, and do the NQueens problem. The last week uses nearly everything you learned over the entire semester so it's dope! Also, you play around a lot with images and can immediately see the effects of your code

Prof is solid. Most of the concepts werent too hard to grasp, but the workload was quite heavy.

Do not fall behind or else you will struggle. Do practice problems to prepare for the midterms and the final

Good course and we'll run. Grades come back quick for MTs. Just stay on top of the work.

Do all practice problems and try get 100% on labs and parts.

Difficult class. I can't say whether or not if it is valuable or not, but I feel like it is really a class that reflects what 'computer science' (not software engineering) is like. I enjoyed the class overall and the insights that I got from the class was precious.

- Watch edx Videos - Go to office hours (if you're stuck) - Ask questions on piazza (very helpful & responsive) - Try to do the problem sets on your own instead of doing them with a partner, you will know what concepts you don't know and it'll help you a lot!

Gregor is god

listen to gregor

Very difficult class. 210 seems like it would be more valuable than this class if you want to pursue cpsc.

Don’t get behind! Make sure to watch the edx videos before lecture, and do tons of practice each week. Make use of office hours and piazza.

Very challenging course, but very rewarding and doable if you stay on top of the material from the very start! !

Definitely NOT a course you can get behind on, it moves very very fast. If I can do it you can do it!

This course is hard if you don't study. However, I did learn that cows are docile creatures.

Work as hard as you possibly can and study as much as you can. Go to TA office hours and do extra problems. It will help you in the long run.

Good!

Work hard.

Horrible teacher! Only taught me that cows are docile creatures.
