COMP1911 vs COMP1917 (1 Viewer)

[untouchablecuz]

from reading the handbook i know COMP1917 is "harder", but my views of each course are very superficial

to those doing it or know about it, how much harder is COMP1917 than its counterpart? even though i'm not looking to further my study into computing/programming, will this benefit me later on? (seeing as alot of engineering work revolves around computers)

You can watch some of the COMP1917 lectures on Youtube, if that might help to show you how hard it is.

My blanket advice for normal vs higher:

If you're the academically capable type, you can handle your work and get off your ass, then go higher.

Normal/higher courses have leeway (sometimes even past census) for students to go between the classes if they find they're not suitable.

Do you want a life?

I did higher comp and higher phys when I started. Didn't do higher math - I don't have a thing for maths. I think it was alright. Phys can be a bit tough at times, and higher comp is very enjoyable.

i want a life does this mean i will die

Everyone is different, you should just see how you adjust to uni life.

higher computing only for computing majors.
electrical and mechanical majors should go for COMP1911 instead.
