my friend's current cs professor is extremely extra
first day's assignment was get 100% on two quizzes
on top of that on the first day review of his project the professor was like "i'm disappointed how little progress you guys have made. all you have done is connect on slack and one of you installed visual studio. you will not be making anything in c# so why did they install visual studio? are you even clear of the project goals? you should have [designed algorithm] by now. i look forward to your report tomorrow showing much more promise for your team"

my friend said his team didn't get any info on what they were doing and when he asked for the project specification the professor linked him 8 hours of video of the professor explaining it

this is all still in the first day

my CS senior design/capstone project made me work with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and computer engineers to build a robot that could climb a rope and detect a round red target on the ground ~25ft away and hit it with darts.

we were given nothing to start with, and the school shelled out a few hundred bucks per team for materials.

it was a good school. i mean, it was a local public university that i commuted to, but it ruled.

but then things got easier again going to 3 & 400 level classes. maybe it’s not actually “easier” but more interesting and less trying to weed you out

im a fucking monster

the guy who taught my assembly programming class didn't understand that numbers were binary inside the registers.

the first assignment was to write a function that took a number and constructed a string showing the binary representation. he got pissy when mine was about a dozen lines of shifts and checking flags instead of the page-long divide + remainder algorithm he was so pleased with

it's not appropriate for professors to talk about the big o with students

i was pleasantly surprised the other day when i explained a couple of bitwise operations to one of my better arduino students and he got it and was able to implement them correctly in his project.

your story makes me angry.

it did. it was probably the hardest/longest i've ever worked on something since. just debugging and experimenting with different hardware non-stop.

spent a lot of time going into home depot for things to cannibalize for parts. we were ordering motors and gearboxes from all over the world and spending a ton shipping, and it turned out the best motor we could possibly get was by tearing apart a power drill. geared down for a ton of torque for dirt-cheap.

got me my job right out of school, too. :toot:

I really enjoyed organic chem. I think people make the mistake of trying to memorize everything instead of actually learning how things work.
