<p>it is! but it closes at 6 instead of 7. you're not around?</p>
<p>where the heck is seascafe?</p>
<p>The SEAS Cafe is across from the ESUC lounge on the fifth floor of Boelter Hall. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>How does the most recent avg. UC GPA compare with that of the past year? If possible, do you have these GPAs for both general admissions and engineering-only?</p>
<p>ouch, how did UCSD overtake UCLA in EE this year....</p>
<p>UC GPA Fall 2007: 4.13
UC GPA Fall 2006: 4.12</p>
<p>Sorry, I only have general admissions statistics. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>hello there, </p>
<p>Im part of l&s but I'm really interested in taking an engineering course next quarter, because i want to see if its the right field. </p>
<p>Would approval from the professor to enroll in the course, override the out-of-school restriction?</p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>Yes, approval from the professor (in the form of a coveted Permission to Enroll number, or PTE) over-rides the out-of-school enrollment restriction. However, you'd have a hard time getting that approval if you're taking someone else's legitimate spot in an impacted course like CS 31. Furthermore, you need to demonstrate to the professor that you need to be officially enrolled and taking the exams, as opposed to merely auditing the course by being a spectator at his/her lectures. Which specific engineering course are you interested in taking? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>flopsy, how would you rate the difficulty of cs 1 (cong) and cs 31 (rohr)? also what material does each course specifically cover?</p>
<p>I never took CS 1, which is a seminar course to enlighten CS/CSE/EE freshmen on the current state of Computer Science in academia, in case they're planning on research/grad school. CS 31 is an introductory course to C++ and general computer science concepts in preparation for CS 32. I would rate CS 31 a 6/10 in difficulty. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>flopsy,</p>
<p>How hard is it to change majors from engineering to physics? Would it be as difficult to change from ME to EE?</p>
<p>Regarding CS1:</p>

CS 1 isn't meant to be difficult at all; it's basically supposed to give you some more insight on what careers you can pursue with a CS/CSE major. Instead of just coding in the future, the seminar helps to expand on topics like AI, cryptography, etc.</p>
<p>As for the actual work, we would have to do assignments called CPR (Calibrated Peer Review), which were basically writing and editing your peers' essays on assigned topics (usually dealing with the lecture from the previous week)).</p>
<p>Since last year was the first time CS 1 was offered, they tested on our class and I think the general opinion of the class was that we were given more work than we should have had. They'll probably change that for your year.</p>
<p>Bottom line: Class isn't hard. Most people get A's. Professor Cong is really nice.

<p>thanks flospy I want to take a non- impacted engineering course, and its open. However, i dont think my chances of enrolling are terribly good. Given that the counselors told me that the classes are restricted to engineering students. Has anyone here been successful in this enrollment?</p>

It's easy to change majors from engineering to Physics, because there are no requirements besides applying for the change at the HSSEAS OASA. There are steep requirements to change from ME to EE though, GPA wise. :rolleyes:</p>

I know of non-engineering graduate students enrolling in CS classes. That's about it... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Flosy,
My son is a Freshman major in CS Fall 2007 at UCLA. Can you help us to locate good web sites or store to buy TEXT Book? Should we visit UCLA on campus or Westwood bookstore 1-2 weeks prior move in? Thanks!

<p>Half.com or Bookfinder4u.com are good sites to look for your books</p>

<p>Is anything from 4BL of importance or even useful in applications for future upper division courses (speaking of engineering in general)? I think I forgot some ideas and theories behind the connections (and most people too) despite writing the lengthy lab reports .. so I hope that won't affect too much in the future.</p>
