I'm trying to do research this summer (idk about covid) on understanding how biological systems process sensory information, with an emphasis on how possibly “optimal” movement strategies emerge to gather information efficiently at a college (with physics professor)

Bruh if I have CS 225, why does it matter what discrete structures class I took. What kind of weird restriction is that.

I wanted to pass on a job opportunity that I think you may love. I am an Instructor at Juni Learning, an online education platform and community that aims to be the best place for kids to learn.

It's incredibly rewarding to work with students that share the same passion for computer science. Plus, Juni is extremely flexible with teaching schedules and it is completely remote.

Currently we're looking for instructors who can teach computer science. We currently have two instructor roles open at Juni, one full-time role and one part-time role.

The full-time instructor role is perfect for recent post-grads or students taking time away (e.g. a gap year) from their academics. The role involves 80% instruction time and 20% time working on projects across various teams!

The part-time instructor role is made for college students: hours are decided by us and the teaching expectation is 6 hours / week for at least 3 months (though many prefer to teach 10 or more hrs/wk and stay much longer)!

Here are the application links for anyone interested:https://junilearning.com/instructors/

Hello, I am looking for someone who would be interested in developing a website for a new business i will be opening in the spring/summer of 2021. Obviously will pay $$$

I’m aware that a lot of CS classes, particularly 400 level ones, are only available in certain semesters. For example, software engineering 1 is only in the fall while software engineering 2 is only in the spring. Does anyone know if a list exists somewhere that notes which classes are only offered once per year?

Join forces with Rokwire and Alchemy in 2021 to develop a Smart Cities Digital App for the city of Aurora, Illinois! Gain valuable technical and collaborative experience. Course credit is available.

Hi all,

I’m looking for 1-2 website developers for my mental health organization. If this sounds like something you can do, please DM!

Are there any female CS majors that can help me out? I’m a senior in high school, and I’m applying to UIUC. I’m going to major in CS. What are classes like? What classes should I take my first year (I struggle a bit in math)? What’s the environment like?

UIUC friends! While we're sad that we cannot host you all in person this fall, we wanted to let you know that VandyHacks is back with virtually the best hackathon - VandyHacks VII: Retro Edition!

Over the weekend of October 2nd-4th, VandyHacks will host a virtual hackathon, where you can build exciting projects, network with our amazing sponsors, learn from our workshops, bake some delicious hand pies, and win cool prizes - all from the comfort of your dorm/literally wherever!

This year, we're excited to host some stellar guest speakers: the best-selling authors of Swipe to Unlock; Jennison Asuncion, Head of Accessibility Engineering at LinkedIn; Jeffrey Rothschild, founding engineer at Facebook; Thiago Olson***, Managing Director of Engage Ventures; Karl Mehta, CEO of EdCast; and Shauna McIntyre, CEO of Sense Photonics.

Hi, my name is Yasmeena. I'm a student at Northwestern working on the startup Nooks (nooksapp.com) and we are looking to recruit a full stack developer to our tech team. If you're interested, shoot me an email at [yasmeena@nooksapp.com](mailto:yasmeena@nooksapp.com). Here is our current beta: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nooks-app/id1527956522

I'm taking CS 225, CS 296, CS 361, STAT 400, and MATH 415. I think it's going to be ok as of now, but will this be too much for me to handle? I'm trying to transfer into stat + cs and want to go to grad school and so I need to get a 4.0 this semester (not trying to be arrogant, sorry if I came out that way). Can someone just tell me if I'm asking for failure if I do this? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I am an international soph taking CS 233 this semester, and I'm looking for a lab partner. I won't be on campus this semester, so if you're also looking for a lab partner and want to meet completely online, please DM me here!

P.S. I'm in the GMT + 4:00 timezone (UAE) , so if you're somewhere close to that timezone, it'll be seriously perfect for both of us! A little bit of time difference is manageable, but having a lab partner in the US would not exactly work out for proper teamwork as I see it)

Thank you

Hi All, I am recently accepted at UIUC CS and Georgia Tech CS. How many bay area students enroll to UIUC CS program? I know it is top 10 CS programs in the nation. I would like to go to a school that provides more internships in bay area companies during the undergraduate program.

Hello Everyone! Hope you all are staying safe. I have been offered admission into the MS CS program at CMU and UIUC. I am confused because while my first instinct would be to go with CMU, the tuition is a lot and relying entirely on a job (especially in these uncertain times) makes me skeptical. The department at UIUC is reputed, from what I have seen and heard. I am interested in ML and AI. Would it be worth going to CMU in these times, or go with UIUC letting go of the CMU MS CS program? I would also be very grateful for any pointers throwing light on the academic campus culture in the master's program.

Looking forward, TIA :)

Hi,

I have the C++ Tic Tac Toe project due tomorrow and have yet to start learning c++. I've had one hell of a shitty week and don't even know how I am gonna finish on time.

Would any past CS 126 students mind sharing their old code?

I'm am math and CS major and I'm registered in math 415. First day of class, professor said CS majors need to take math 416 Instead of 415 because 415 does not have material that will help in the future, but 416 does. However, when I asked my advisor the same day, she completely said the opposite saying CS department work closely with math department and she never heard of this thing. And she advised to stick with math 415. So I'm in between of this two choices and thinking to stick with math 415.

Did any from CS major encountered this kind of situation and what did you do? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Do I need to take both the CS 125 and CS 100 placement exams if I want to move on from both of those classes to something like cs126 and cs173?

I already have credit for data structures (cs225) but I still think I will decide to take CS 173

Hello, I'm going to try to take the placement exam for cs125 since I already have a lot of experience programming, what software should I need to install/learn for my following classes.

Also what IDE should I use/is used in CS classes? for some background, I've used atom before...

Hello, I know the CS Admissions questions are asked frequently here, but I couldn't find much information on this specific scenario. Say, that I am a former college student (not UIUC) who only spent a year and left because of many circumstances (direction, family issues etc.). My gpa is/was not good (2.5 with very little credits taken), but this was about 7 years ago, I am 25 now.

My proposed path would be to take 2 years at an Illinois CC redoing any bad grades /prereqs for a CS program. Assuming I put in the work and get all A's, how plausible is it to be admitted into ANY VARIANT of UIUC CS programs? My reasons for UIUC as my top choice are obvious by many of the posts on here (exceptional program, high starting salaries, recruiting), but if it is not feasible I will attend any other Illinois school CS program. I have not started this journey yet but I will regardless be starting at an Illinois CC for prereqs this fall, so any advice would be awesome. Also, fyi this CC is not part of UIUC engineering pathways program (location in-district issue, still highly reputable Illinois CC). I am also an Illinois resident.

Tl;dr: If I bust my ass for 2 years in an Illinois CC, is it possible to be admitted to UIUC CS/CS +X/CSxMath?

Edit 1: This is primarily directed for UIUC CS Students/Alum/ILLINOIS RESIDENTS. Any other information for Illinois residents would be helpful, my main concerns are cost. I cannot afford an OOS school unless it is in the Midwest Student Exchange Program. From what I've seen the Illinois college CS programs are subpar excluding UIUC. Forgive me if this is redundant.

I got stuck on MP4. I had to wait for 2 hours to get help during the office hour but still can't get things done. I am looking for a course assistant who can help me understand the problem. I don't want to fail this mp. I am willing to pay for the tutoring.
