2. 在ubc的官网有这样一段话:
“excessive computing background (where we generally consider strong work in the equivalent of UBC CPSC 110, 121, and 210 a positive; CPSC 213, 221, and 310 neutral; and additional coursework increasingly negative because it is too close to a computing degree)”
我的理解是:如果你修完了cpsc110,121,210是可以增加你的竞争力的。看到同一页这一段话的时候我更确信这一点:
“Motivation for program: How prepared the applicant is to enthusiastically engage with computing and keep doing so for the duration of a challenging 2-3 year program. ... Ideally, applications should back up expressions of enthusiasm with evidence."
我都上完了,课程量挺大的,收获也很大,每门课最后有自己编的小游戏,很有意思~老师会给你评分,通过后就可以拿到cerfiticate。我不知道这个在我申请的过程中起到了多大的效果,我相信同等条件下竞争力是加分的。然后ubc给我免了cpsc110这门课(但是我大学成绩单上有一门introduction to programming课,不知道是因为哪个)。原话是:
“... it seems clear that you have a substantial, multi-course introduction to programming but don't have much software engineering or computing theory background. So, I've exempted CPSC 110. You might also be cautious about taking CPSC 304, which may overlap too much with previous coursework.”
