    If you're doing CPSC, and you can't handle 231, switch into a different program NOW.

    I have 5 years of CPSC under my belt, so I know exactly what I'm talking about.

    But if you're just doing it as an option or something, if you know some basic programming, and you can do some learning on your own, it'll be fine.

    I went to U of C back in 98.. trust me, I bet there were CPSC profs that were worst. I believe Deur was there when I was taking CPSC. I had some German guy that barely spoke english, and he had one of those mousey voices that made you fall asleep.. the worst was he tried to be funny but no one laughed.

    Then you have another extreme like Becker (I had her for 233).. shit, i don't know if she had a bitter life or was just a butch the day she was born.. couldn't stand her, finished the course and never looked back. At least she was loud enough to understand.

    Don't know who's the head of that department now, but at the beginning of the semester, this one fat fuck walked in.. started saying shit that you can't do (mp3s, porn, etc).. and he's like IF YOU COME SEE ME, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE ME. It was like the guy was looking forward to take revenge, or get even from all the wedgies the jocks gave him when he was in school or somethin.

    PS. what assignments do you have to do.. i'm not condoning cheating or anything, but you used to be able to find code online for the programs you had to do for assignments.. don't know if they're still out there.. google's your friend.

    bah, I gota stop ranting, i hated that department , from the TA's that needed us to hand out assignments because he couldn't pronounce shit all the way to the top..

    Sounds like you're talking about Christian Jacob.

    Its not hard but I want to see what kind of questions he would ask and what style. I'm supposing it would just be basic syntax errors.

    Thanks,

    Yeah, I did. I was in his class back in '99. I couldn't answer stand the hell he was saying. He sounded like The Impressive Clergyman from The Princess Bride when he talked. "Mawage. Mawage is what bwings us togeder today...."

    Nobody really went to any of his classes when I had him. I only stuck around once in a while if I was waiting for a friend. He had one of those big ass auditoriums that filled 400 people and there couldn't have been more than 50 people per class. Only until midterms did you realize how many people were supposed to be there! Hahaha!

    Have you checked that place in Mac Hall that sells old exams? Bound & Copied, I think it's called, across the Royal Bank ATM downstairs.

    Its not hard but I want to see what kind of questions he would ask and what style. I'm supposing it would just be basic syntax errors.
    It's been so long, but I'm sure you'll definitely be asked basic definitions. Are you guys still doing base conversions? If so, you can probably count on those showing up. Converting and mathematical operations (adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying). If you've already done some programming, you can pretty much count on that. It wouldn't be unlikely to have a snippet of code and they could ask you what the output would be. If that's the case, pay attention to every line, cause even things that seem minor can mean completely different results. Also, it wouldn't be unlikely where they'll ask you to write some code to calculate something.

    Like I said, it's been so long that they may not even ask this stuff, since I don't even know what they're teaching in those intro courses anymore. If some of that stuff doesn't appear on the midterm, you can pretty much count on it on the final.

    dude, we were in the same class, it was in Science Theaters 140 right? (one of those big ass lecture rooms connected to the Elbow Room)

    that's crazy.. hah.

    EDIT: yeah, i remember the first midterm was binary/hex counting, had to read some code and fill in the blanks or somethin.. it wasn't that tough at all..

    Yup as with the 2 guys above if ya cant handle cpsc 231, Good luck with math 271, or cpsc 313 or 413 you will DIE a painful and slow death. And you wanna see an stupid prof add Mihaela Ulieru to yoru list, she teaches cpsc 321 and boy she cant teach. And if anyone needs to take this course try to take it with james tam he is a good prof for this course.

    Probably Darcy Grant...still the same guy, at least as of last year...be careful if you bring food and shit into the labs, cause he locks out accounts if he catches you. Happened to 2 people I knew in the middle of SENG311...and one group had all their newest code on that guy's account :| (That's another lesson...use the damn CVS repository :P) Needless to say, they were pretty screwed when their release date came..
