ya, put in effort in 114 and 124 (fundamental c++ programming)! Like others had stated in this thread, java is a dead language. So whenever possible, try to use and practice c++ (you will code in a language of your choice during year 2 and 3). But to do that, you need the foundations >.> So dont slack during lesson, and also cos Dr Heng teaches dam fast lol! You sleep for 10 minutes and he's in another galaxy liao... and his papers ain't easy at all! When I took my 124 final exam, the exam paper was 28 pages... thickest paper I ever took.

^hmm wow, then i guess there's no point requesting then.. since admittedly, i did take one or two modules in poly that somewhat fits the description of the exempted modules... (and maybe i will just borrow notes from my friends who are also taking comp sci, just not at sim).

darkchamber,what course u took in poly ar?

wow,thanks for the info man!me super new to it course,dunno what kind of format they will be using.will be taking www engineering and discrete maths.heard that www engineering a bit hard,is it ar?is there a lot of projects/assignments cramped together?thanks!

games design lol pioneer batch

games design lol pioneer batch

o.o,no wonder can get 0.5 advanced standing,should have studied some similar modules ba.anyway why dun wan continue games design?very sian haha?

 

[darkchamber]

not much future. lol. no lah. study security will have wider job range... then if want go back into games, anytime want switch back also can.

actually i was originally doing animation but realized too many steps to follow, so decide to go into something much more practical.

Who is the lecturer?

Year 1 you only need to know 3 subjects. CSCI103, 114 and 124. The rest are seemingly irrelevant and you won't die or lose anything without them. So I would advise that you save your money and take the advance standing...

When I first applied for DSS, I requested to take the entire year 1 as well (I figured I should have 0.5 adv standing and I seriously cannot remember anything I ever learnt in poly). I told them during the registration... but after that a friend of mine (who had already graduated from the course) informed me that all the modules in year 1 are mostly useless except for the 3 mentioned. Just request to take that 3 can liao... if they want to exempt the others just let them exempt lor.

So when hamidah (or is it someone else... hmm) called me to confirm about my request to take the entire year 1, I told her I changed my mind and will take the 3 subjects as above (it turns out as she told me, I'm actually exempted from everything except 124). She told me to send a proper black and white email stating that I will take the 3 subjects. Then settled liao.

The clerks are actually very friendly people, esp Hamidah who is the most experienced of them all (that's why she's handling the year 1s). Just ask her nicely and she will give you a satisfactory reply and will do something about it immediately. There was once where I complained to her that one of our lecturer is fked up in lecturing (unable to control class etc) and the next day, the lecturer had shown considerably more effort liao. So if you have any problem just consult them...

[Jimmy_gal]

Well, seems like no one is 0.0 standing part time.
I change the question to who is going to take discrete maths and www engr for part time?

will be taking www engineering and discrete maths.heard that www engineering a bit hard,is it ar?is there a lot of projects/assignments cramped together?thanks!

WWW engineering is about HTML, Javascript, Java, images, sound, databases, ASP, XML. Sounds like a lot but other than HTML and Javascript, the rest are not in-depth at all. Difficulty in 181 lies in the super broad range of topics being covered.

IIRC it was 5 assignments, 5 group work presentations during the tutorials. Some assignments can be finished in like half an hour, some...can take days.

103?

Because half of the paper were empty spaces for writing the code!

 

[EviLAng3L]

Coding based exams are easy.. Theory based exams are the real deal..
