From 2c7fc77c01b3bc48545573f13578a18ab615df41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent St-Amour Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:23:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Typoes in UnderclassmenGuide.jsx FWIW, McCormick students can also get a holistic education: the theme requirement gives room to explore interests in social sciences, arts, and humanities, and McC CS's "advanced electives" requirement makes it possible to go deeper also. BTW, there are some changes in the pipeline re 212.

And while it's manageable, keep in mind that a lot of the content between the two classes is very different. So it's important to be able to manage your time well and be able to balance the workload between the two classes. But if you switched to CS late, or you're a second-year, it's very common to take CS 214 and CS 211 together.

- Now, you may be wondering what's the reasoning behind putting CS 212 so late if you only need 111 to take it. The idea with CS 212 so late in our schedules is because CS 212 is am extremely difficult class since it's a discrete maths course. You'll be learning about proofs, induction, and other topics that are very different from the other CS classes since it is very theory focused. + Now, you may be wondering what's the reasoning behind putting CS 212 so late if you only need 111 to take it.

You'll be learning about proofs, induction, and other topics that are very different from the other CS classes since it is very theory focused. CS 212 is by no means impossible to do well in, but you probably want to put it off while you learn some of the other CS topics first because in terms of industry, you'll probably never use the content from CS 212 and very few classes have it as a pre-req.
