I have a feeling that this field is going to be dominated by prcs...

I have a feeling that this field is going to be dominated by prcs...
Got more info about the internship part?
Anyone have gone for the welcome tea? Can tell me some details?
Hi TS & all,
I will be matriculating this coming Aug as a freshmen to DSA. But I'm quite lost as to the kind of mods recommended to bid for Y1S1/S2?
I have been pre-allocated with 2 mods (GER1000 & DSA1101) so I would need to bid for 3 more modules. I have not declared any additional majors/minors, should I?
What are the 3 modules do seniors have to recommend...?
I like coding a lot ahaha. Orbital also seemed kinda fun when I did it this holiday break. But CS is probably way deeper than what I'm experiencing now so I don't know if I should just stay or jump to try out in CS. Furthermore, I might end up wanting to work as a software engineer or something related to CS if I don't get enough experience to be a data scientist.

it's labelled as co-op education by nus. it allows students from infosec, ba and dsa to embark on an 18 months internship(3 UPIP, 1 applied honours project - aka PI).
it's only offered to students matriculating in AY17/18 and onwards. when the freshmen first enter uni, i believe they'll be asked to indicate their preference for this programme. afterwards, the stats department will try to find accommodating co-op companies for them.. im not sure if the students can self-source tho.
students will apply to the internship positions in y2s2 and this 18-month internship will start during their y2 summer vacation.
details on what... i think they'd email you the slides if you have indicated your preference to attend the talk.
ma1101r, ma1102 and cs1010s...
the only mod that you probably would spend more time on is cs1010s if you're rather new to programming languages. else, you might want to substitute of the above core mods with 1/2 GE mods(i recommend GEH1043. it's fun and only offered in sem 1).
jus wanna know, are there many students besides local and prc in this major?
what do you think?
well, kinda expected...
not many international students besides ah tiongs ah neh viets eh?
anyway what do you think of the major so far?
Nowadays not alot already. Mostly local straight A elite students only. Your observation is in the past when computing still not hot field yet
Jus wanna know how many students in this major each year? and men and women percentage?
I am having a very hard time choosing between data and biz analytics..
Ehhh.. you from what generation one? The percentage of foreigners in computing nowadays only about 20% leh. Quoted by prof Ben Leong one. Cannot be wrong
hello! j2 student here interested in data science.. have a few qns..
i researched on the modules a bit, found out that the math is quite essential and there is a lot of coding(compared to courses like bizanalyst). tbh my math(esp calculus) is not good and coding seems scary to me (tried abit of python) and i have little confidence in these 2 areas. will it be a big issue?
(if yes then i will be considering biz analytics but many say that its generalised and doesnt have good career prospects...)
what programmes do yall learn/use in uni?
how vigorous is the cirriculum and the difficulty of the modules?
also, if possible, can share some papers/notes on the DSA/CS modules so i can get a feel of what the whole course is actually about ?
sry for lengthy post, hope yall can help thx
