Friends are covered lightly (if at all) in the middle of CS 32. Overloaded operators and arrays in classes are covered towards the end of CS 31. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>what are friends?</p>
<p>…lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>1) 183
2) You can BS on the midterms and final and still get an A. Those exams are basically how much you can BS in 2-3 hrs. Also the lectures by Dr. Browne (he lectures 2-3 times). I liked his “Red Asphalt” type of approach to teaching ethics.
3) The course time at 8:00am, and how the lectures compose of a history lesson through the first few weeks. I actually don’t remember much of the lectures cause it was so difficult to stay awake.
4) All the TA’s are pretty cool except for the one female TA that was there a few quarters ago. My friends did not like her very much.</p>
<p>They have increased the workload in 183 because of Writing II. I was LMAO hearing how much work my friend was doing in the Spring 08 183 compared to my course in spring 07.</p>
<p>I think in just about every project spec in CS32 had the instruction “The word friend must never be used in your program” The professors really didn’t want us to use that functionality.</p>
<p>what if i like to name my variables friend1, friend2, and so on…</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>
Friends are classes which can access other classes’ private member variables. They’re considered an anti-pattern. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>PIC 10A vs. CS 31, which easier to get an A? Do they cover the same material? I have credit for CS 31 from my CC, but from what I’ve heard from my friends, I should take CS 31 before I take CS 32. I’m thinking of taking PIC 10A instead of taking CS 31 as a refresher before I tackle CS 32. Any input?</p>
<p>pretty sure pic 10a is way way easier and goes at a much slower pace</p>
<p>cs 31 = for engineers</p>
<p>pic 10a = college of letters & sciences</p>
<p>way,WAY easier? And I do know that CS 31 is for engineers and PIC 10A is for L&S. -_-;</p>
<p>However, I would like to avoid putting myself through some hell since I already have credit for CS 31. It’s just that I took CS 31 equivalent at my CC about two years ago, and I have not looked at the material since. I just don’t want to show up to CS 32 and be completely lost, so I was thinking of enrolling PIC 10A as a refresher. Now, is that even a good idea? or should I just say **** it and take CS 31?</p>
<p>Wait, you took the CS 31 equivalent at a CC so it is already a review for you. I understand you feel a little too rusty to go into CS 32 now, but why would you want to waste time with something even easier than a review? You will be in CS 31 with people who have NEVER had the material (or for many anything like it) before. If they hate you for messing up the CS 31 curve, imagine how PIC 10A people would feel? Also, pretty sure you will lose your CC credit if you retake it.</p>
<p>Dammit you’re right! I should just man up and take the damn class!</p>
<p>lol - you can do it, puppet!</p>
<p>So I’m interning at symantec this summer, and we met the CEO the other day. He told this story about Carey Nachenberg (CS prof) and I was totally wow-ed out at our Bruin power. Flopsy, did you ever work with Dr. Nachenberg?</p>
<p>What was the story, Deuces? Share!</p>
<p>
Nice, did you get it through the UCLA Engineering email that was circulating?</p>
<p>
Nope, never. I had a CS 31 review session hosted by him, but that was about it. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I got the job through a referral by a relative- working in online global sales. Very unrelated to my major (bioengineering), but I took the job to get another perspective on things and check out the corporate scene (plus it pays well). I’m working in Cupertino, so I think what BHall is referring to is a Culver City offering (UCLA engineering definitely did not send me an e-mail). </p>
<p>Basically, the story John Thompson told us was about image and how he was a hippie back in the day - 8 lb afro, striped pants and flower shirt. Got a job with IBM in sales and still dressed the same. Got promoted to regional salesman, and decided he needed to change and finally went to the old school IBM blues - white shirt blue tie, the whole deal because he wanted his performance in sales to make his impact, not the fact that he was the salesguy with the afro. In any case, fast forward to the Nachenberg story… pretty short, so Thompson is visiting Culver City to check things out. Nachenberg comes running by (Thompson explains, it’s SoCal, they’re engineers and you just wear what everybody else wears- shorts and flip flops) Thompson says something along the lines of what the hell, and the secretary tells him Nachenberg went to go put on pants. He asks her why, she says it’s because you’re an IBM guy and he figured he had to dress up for you. </p>
<p>The story wasn’t that funny… I was more excited about how brilliant he said Nachenberg was- go Bruins eh?</p>
<p>Can some rate my schedule on difficulty? </p>
<p>EE 123A
EE CM150
EE CM150L
CS 31</p>
<p>Is there any program that’s like EECS? A very good balance between EE and CS? CSE and EE with Computer Engineering seem to be very one-sided =(</p>
<p>Is there a place on the UCLA site where I can find out what books are used for what courses?</p>
<p>Or, to be more direct, what books are used for ee2 and ee101?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
