<p>hi guys. Im a CS major at a state school. and even though people say that state schools are much easier. I've so far found my program to be very tought. and for some reason my university has this weird thing where they have international grad students taking undergrrad coursed before they take grad courses. and thus making some classes very tought. in my intro to data structures class there were many grad students who basically killed the curve. I thought this was a bit unfair, but I seem to find 1/4 of all my classes are grad students:(. but anyways can I see someones old CS exam. I just wanna seee how they compare to mine. thanks</p>
<p>Which school do you go to?</p>
<p>At UCLA, we have up to ten grad students taking each upper-division undergrad CS class in a given quarter, but they are graded in a separate pool of students, or on a pass/fail basis, so they don't wreck the curve for the rest of us... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Here's an old exam from CS131, which I'm taking right now:

<p>thanks man. I go to Fresno State. Im form Fresno CA so I just went here.
but the thing is we dont have grads taking just upper division courses. we have them in our core classes. such as intro to data structures. in my intro to computation course about 50% of the class is grad students.
The program is prety damn small though. students are all super nice. everyone helps each other out.</p>
<p>Wait -- Computer Science majors are actually nice and/or help each other?
This I have to see... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I dont know if your being sarcastic or not. but yes students here are super nice and super helpful. most of the students I know would go out of their way to help you out.</p>
<p>hmm, I got an email saying someone responded to this, but I dont see that response.</p>
<p>I personally would not major in computer science unless you are going in an exotic subfield. I graduated from cal state domingueaz hills and found it hard as hell to land a job. One interview I went to they had 200 people fighting over 1 opening. I still have my degree and planning to switch to business. Right now I am using my degree as a hobby right now. I wish I would have known about this before I got all those student loans.</p>
<p>and by the way the best schools to go to are specialized computer schools. Such as cal poly tech, ITT Tech or even game programming schools. Don't go to a regular university, there are tons of people that will graduate from normal universities. Also, employers love military experience as well. Employers love candidates with this kind of education.</p>
<p>Yeah, let's all drop out of top universities and go to ITT Tech... <em>cough</em> :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I think a top comp sci schools would be better than ITT Tech. And btw, cal poly tech is a regular university(not akin to ITT tech).</p>
<p>Tests and problem sets from many MIT EECS classes can be found [url=<a href="http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm%5Dhere%5B/url">http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>I don't know which ones are which (hey, I'm just a science major over here), but I assume you'll be able to pick out the CS classes. :)</p>
<p>the opencourse ware is interesting...</p>
<p>"good" software engineers will always find jobs :)</p>
