Im and incoming first year for cs and I just wanted to get some advice/tips on my schedule.
Howdy, New York student here!
So I have to select my courses now (my term is starting in september so fall/winter 2022-2023). I watched the e-tutorial videos over at https://lassonde.yorku.ca/student-life/new-students
I was looking at https://lassonde.yorku.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022-2023-Degree-Checklist-BSc-Hons-Computer-Science-1.pdf and course codes at https://calendars.students.yorku.ca/2022-2023/programs/LE/computer-science and trying them in the schedule builder (F62V01 S88M01 C48G01 H03G03 J46U05 These are the ones I picked and have no idea if i should or not)
The confusing thing is that the checklist has a few courses for the first year but i'm pretty sure i cannot take them all at once (taking like multiple maths or eecs) but then the question remains what should i be taking to fill my time and get enough credits? There is also a foundation science list in that checklist. Do i have to take all of em or just a few of em? because its a very large list of courses.
There are a few additional courses at the academic calendar which says: "A total of 12 credits of complementary studies courses must be taken by Engineering majors"
I'm super confused...
Hi everyone! Excited to be joining this winter term, and I have a few questions that I hope some of you could help with:
Course Load: I saw we’re allowed up to 6 courses (18 credits) per term. If I want to take more, it says I’d need to contact the Student Success Coordinator. Are there specific metrics for qualifying to take additional courses, and is it relatively accessible to most students?
2.Housing and Meal Plans: Most of the well-rated dorms seem to require a meal plan. Are the meals on campus worth it, in your opinion? Would you recommend dorm housing overall? Any specific dorm recommendations or ones to avoid? 2b. Food Recommendations: For affordable and tasty options, what would you recommend both on and off-campus?
3.I saw a PDF about which courses I should pick but I still can’t be exactly sure. Are all the prerequisite courses are written there? Could you guys assist me? https://lassonde.yorku.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024-2025-Degree-Checklist-BSc-Hons-Computer-Science-3.pdf This is the link I am currently looking at. 3b. Physics Courses: Any recommendations for foundational physics courses? 3c. Elective Courses: I noticed that 4th-year courses are all elective. Where can I find a comprehensive list of these?Where can I identify which course is essential for which degree pathway 3d.I saw linear algebra is not a prerequisite(which is very strange to me). I am planning on taking it still. Should I take it? And are there any other courses like this that I should look out for? 3e.Has anyone used this link?: https://presidentkevvol.github.io/YorkCSClassList/ Would you say it’s accurate?
4. Program Pathways: I saw that the program has different pathways. Are there any that you’d recommend based on your experience?
Thanks so much for any guidance! I really appreciate the time you all take to help new students. 😊
If you ask me a question to help me I might not answer it. Sorry in advance.
