CIS 61 Laney & COMSCI 260 DVC

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>CIS 61 @ Laney and COMSCI 260 @ DVC are articulated courses with UC Berkeley. </p>

<p>Has anyone taken these courses recently? What are the schedules and in which semester are they offered?</p>

<p>Just wanted to plan ahead to avoid overlapping schedules with the classes I have to take in the same semester these classes are offered.</p>

<p>Anyone?
Thanks in advance,
JMember</p>

<p>You might want to ask on the UC transfers forum and/or the Berkeley forum.</p>

<p>I though this was the UC transfers forum? ;O</p>

<p>Moderators just moved them here -,-
I’d take them at Cal if I got in TBH :slight_smile: The only class in the CS61 series worth taking at CC is obviously 61B. Almost all transfers don’t have A and C as far as I know.</p>

<p>However, as seen on the Berkeley forum, a number of L&S CS and EECS transfers have heavy schedules in their first semesters with three lab courses (counting CS with programming as lab). This is a very high workload while handling the transition to a new school and new environment.</p>

<p>In addition, having to take the lower division prerequisites first semester of junior year reduces the amount of schedule space available for your upper division courses.</p>

<p>So if you have the opportunity to take the equivalents of CS 61A, 61B, and 61C before transferring to Berkeley L&S CS or EECS, it is a good idea to do so. If you have access to Laney, also consider its Engineering 17, which articulates to Berkeley EE 42 as required by the L&S CS major (EECS requires EE 40 and 20N). Berkeley L&S and EECS also require CS 70, but no community college discrete math course articulates to it (though you may want to take such a course as a preview).</p>

<p>I took COMSC 260 at DVC. It was the only CS class I got a B in. The material is pretty difficult, and the instructor does not help because he is boring (there is only one person at DVC who teaches that class).</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies…</p>

<p>Does anyone know the semester in which Laney’s CIS 61 is offered? The scheduled times for the class? I’ve already found DVCs schedules, but not Laneys.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,

<p>I don’t think Laney offer CIS61 this semester …</p>

<p>Edit: I mean Spring 2012</p>

<p>It seems that they are offering CS61A at laney this fall. Does anyone know how well laney’s class follows UCBerkeley’s 61A class?</p>
