<p>What do these classes cover? For CSCI-101, how difficult will it be if I have no background knowledge of C++? Should I study it before classes start? I have Professor Gyham for CSCI and Elaine Chew for ENGR102.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Uh. Don’t freak out about classes that are introductory, freshmen seminaresque, or PE/MUEN classes.</p>
<p>ENGR 102 is Engineering Freshmen Academy. It’s a class that’s DESIGNED for freshmen who are learning to be an Engineer. It consist of learning about different careers, building projects, working in groups for said projects, and listening to special speakers. Easy A if you actually do the work.</p>
<p>CSCI 101 is an intro to Computer Programming class. It’s designed for people who DON’T know anything about programming. If you want to study before you take the class, go ahead. Maybe you’ll breeze through the course. If you don’t study, it’s fine, too. You’ll just have to be more keen and more attentive in class and learn the stuff.</p>
<p>You’re asking about 101 and 102 classes. Don’t worry about them.
The 100-level indicate freshmen level (usually). The specific number is in order of difficulty (I think for science and math courses only… though it might apply to other subjects – certainly, it doesn’t always apply, just a general rule). </p>
<p>As for the teachers themselves, I’m not sure. It could affect how easy/hard the class is, definitely. Just keep an open mind about these classes. But I saw on one post that Gyham is hard (sorry! I forgot where!).</p>
<p>Don’t worry about that class. It’s not difficult. However, Ghyam’s not the most organized lecturer, so ask your lab TAs for help and consult your textbook if you get confused. Don’t slack off on the projects and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>thanks guys, I guess im just a tad too excited</p>
