CMPT 165, looks so dry and the python part looks scary
PSYC 280, biological psyc, enough said
CRIM 103 and 230, first lecture of both i was bored and wanted to sleep...this doesnt normally scare me because it happens with most classes like a month into the term unless the prof is attractive, but its the FIRST day

I hate science requirements, this semester could have been ok :confused:, after this semester and after 75 credits I can finally declare my major, the light at the end of the tunnel is near

    CMPT 165 is a joke and if you think that having it is going to make your semester hard, then you are going to fail at the class. That's it, that's all. It is as simple as that.

    I'm taking CMPT165 by distance ed, just for the hell of it :D (And because I need something to ensure my GPA stays at a good level)
    Also, the python stuff probably shouldn't be that bad, it is a very easy language to understand, (although I still dislike it very much)

    The rest of my classes are pretty boring so far (What I get for taking 3 CMPT classes, MACM101, and other such fun), but I have all of them crammed into 3 days, so I have lots of time off :)

    cmpt 165 dist. ed here too!
    i'm planning to start A2 soon

    After doing Java, Python is such a mind trip. No curly braces? WTF!
    Whatever. Its the least of my concerns.
    I still have Math 152,macm 201, cmpt 150 and hist 225 to think about.

    i was more refering to the boredom of CMPT rather than difficulty, i have no idea what python even is, the first half of CMPT i know by heart the second half I dont really know what any of it is about, im not buying the extra textbooks so i hope ill be ok?

    i was in cmpt165 distance until i saw/bought the 5 or so textbooks, then i immediately dropped the course for eng199, stupid move? i think so

    so im taking psyc 280 distance ed and in the announcements it says

    "in all my three years of teaching last semester this class had the highest failure rate of any class i have taught"

    i felt rather scared after reading that

    My semester is fairly balanced.

    On one hand I have CMPT 275 where on the first day of meeting our group we have someone who can neither speak english nor program in C++ or Java so she has not clue what Object Oriented Programming is as she somehow never did the prereqs for the class. As well MACM 201 :S.

    On the other hand I have CRIM 101 and 131, both interesting and easy classes. Both have a term paper of 1000 words.

    And right in the middle is CMPT 300.
