Thanks @ucbalumnus for the warning and advice. I am sure will come back to you for more over the next few years.
She really enjoys CS161A quite a bit actually. Loved the assignments, completed them without help from TA and got all the extra credits. it’s the the exams that make it hard to obtain A.
Sorry @Norcal1972 for taking a detour of your thread. I see that you are new, If your kids are interested in the UCs, they have their own forums there too if you want to ask specific questions about them. You are so lucky to be living in CA where the UC system is second to none. Good luck with your kiddos!
