What are the courses / subjects that you have while doing Computer Science or when you [i]were[/] a CS student? More importantly, which of these do (did) you find difficult?
I'm not a CS student myself so I was just curious .

Intro to C++ programming, Java Programming, Client/Server Side Computing, Programming Language Development class (cant remember the name). Electronics, databases, calculus, trigonometry, and much much more. I decided on a degree in individualized studies with a minor in criminal justice.

Hmmm....
Back to time machine.

I remember bit by bit.

• C++ Basic
• C++ Advanced
• Borland Delphi
• SQL
• Windows Server
• PHP
• Java
• ASP.Net

I'd also like to no what subjects were a bit of a problem.

Electronics
Mathematics
C/C++
Data Structures
Database [Oracle]
Java
PHP
Networking
Mobile computing
Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Internet Security
Mobile Computing
Embedded Systems
Software Engineering
Project Management


huh... I hope I haven't missed any... I never found any of them very difficult, but Maths always remained really boring for me.

So far:

Algebra
Trig
Calculus (hopefully some linear algebra later)
Java
C++
Unix (soon)
Data Structures
Computer Hardware Architecture
Data Commuinications
Gen ed (yuck!)

I'm currently at TAMUCC as a Computer Science: Systems Programming Option, because it was more intense than Computer Information Science and doesn't require biology like Bioinformatics.

So far I have taken:

Problem Solving I and II: C++
Data Structures: C++
OOP: JAVA
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
Computer Organization and Assembly Language
Calculus I & II
Discrete Mathematics I
University Physics I (Calculus Based)

I'm currently taking:
Formal Languages, Grammars, and Automata (This class is difficult... it is like Discrete Mathematics on Steroids)
Computer System Software
Software Engineering
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (This class is pretty crazy... the programs we have to write for this class take a long time and a lot of thought)

I have yet to take but need/want to take:
Computer Graphics (This is supposed to be our school's most difficult Computer Science class. The professor likes to have the students make their own raytracer.
Discrete Mathematics II
Distributive Processing and Networking
Professional and Report Writing
Survey of Programming Languages
University Physics II (Calculus Based)
Theory of Programming Languages... I don't need this at all, but I may take it... depends on how busy my senior semester is.
Senior Capstone Project

Any computer class that involved programming was fun. Any "computer" class that involved never touching a computer was annoying and way too much like some mathematician's idea of mental masturbation.

Didn't much enjoy the math classes in general. Most higher maths are pretty useless for programming, with exceptions of specialized stuff like game engines.

I'd recommend a basic accounting class for anyone considering programming. If you work in a business setting for any length of time, you'll probably be forced to learn the joy double entry accounting and similar. About as much fun as one of those non programming theoretical CS classes, but you'll probably get more millage out of it.

I'm currently studying:

• DBMS
• Computer Organisation and Architecture
• Maths (Complex Integration etc.)
• Principles of Communication (PCOM)
• Analysis of Algorithms
• Industrial Economics

They're pretty interesting except for Maths and PCOM.

I've had the following subjects before:

• Maths (gets worse every semester)
• Computer Programming I ©
• Computer Programming II (OOP in C++)
• Physics and Chemistry
• Engineering Mechanics
• Engineering Drawing (No CAD!!!, I hate the damned drafters)
• Communication Skills (which rightly belongs in grade 5 curriculum)
• Basics of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
• Electronic Devices and Circuits
• Electrical Networks
• Data Structures in C
• ...and possibly a few more...

Agree wit baavgai dat most higher level math is useless.. (I hate math)

I don't like applied math despite the fact I'm studying to be an engineer .

I REALLY enjoyed principles of Accounting I and II so iIm taking Accounting Information systems this term--very interesting.
