7/23 Is a CS 199 research project required for graduation in L&S?
\_ for the standard CS degree, w/o honors, it is NOT required.
pretty much nothing is "required" anymore. You just need
enough EE, CS, or EECS units. - paolo
\_ Have those UPE losers finally abolished the CS150 requirement
too? -LSCS grad.
\_ i can say for a fact i indeed know a CS graduate who walked
with me who did not have to take 150. Unfortunately, I didn't
know they were going to drop the req, so i took it. - paolo
\_ unfortunately? I graduated without taking it and have
regretted it ever since.
\_ my opinion is that the class that semester was the
biggest waste of time i've had at cal. YMMV - paolo
\_ Err.. 150 kicked ass. Of course it totally depends
on what project you end up with (and therefore what
prof) --dbushong
\_ My 150 Sucked ass. Perhaps this had to do with the
lack of resources, and ta apathy to our broken
clock chip (oh and we had new boards that sem).
note that the prof's 61c ratings weren't very
good either. Like i said, YMMV as things can
change a lot in a few years. - paolo (who would
have rather taken aiken/hilfingr 164 than 150).
\_ 150 kicked ass! The semester I took it, we
even got to do something somewhat AI-related
(recognizing mouse pointers with a camera and
some hardware). -- ilyas
\_ I had Katz for 150 in Fa90. We got to build
a 4-bit computer with processor and memory
from breadboards, 74xx's and copper wires.
Although logic design isn't my most
favorite subject (mine is OS), that was the
best class I've ever had at Cal. BTW now I
regret I didn't take more classes before
graduation. -- yuen
\_ 150 may be painful, bit IMHO, every EECS student should take it. |
