America’s CS Isn’t Trying Hard Enough
4/25/2006 – 9:09 am
After reading A Red Flag in the Brain Game I started reflecting on my schooling. From my experience Universities are going soft on CS students. In the first two years of undergraduate classes we play with Legos and Java instead of working on hard problems. And even senior level courses are soft: in Computer Architecture we have spent the first three weeks explaining key concepts of computer architecture that every C programmer must be aware of to create working code. Oh, and how many times must I listen to a lecture on binary arithmetic?!
CS 411 - Best CS Class Yet?
4/3/2006 – 9:27 am
My first lecture of the term was today at 9am: Operating Systems II. Paul Paulson, OSU instructor, detailed what I have known for a few months: this class will now use the Linux Kernel and simulate a class size open source community. The required text is “Linux Kernel Development” by Robert Love (a book I recently read and enjoyed) and halfway through the term a special lecture by Greg KH is scheduled! It should be a great course.
