Ah soccer, the most important class in a cs degree
We had volleyball
@@fredi1505 not a true cs major, you need soccer
You guys had PE in university?
This is where interviewers truly filter out strong students from the weak ones.
@@neverdeadjustasleep7 I wouldn't hire someone without a soccer class
I feel a little ripped off, I weight trained throughout University and got nothing.
ateast you got ripped, nice workout
I got a Master’s Degree in Beer Pong but the school mis-spelled it as Electrical Engineering.
This!
ah yes, weight training and soccer, the fundamentals of cs
You can code?
Exactly, gotta train those weights for your neural network💪💪💪💪
holy shit youre here
@@genericusername4206 I'm everywhere :p
Cubing godess
"I think I blacked out and I woke up with an A" LOL
Yeah this makes Cal Poly sound worse not better :-/
The lighting setup is dope 👌👌
"... NSA can decrypt all our traffick. So... yeah..."
Ha ha, imagine having notes from your professor in class and not just the slides he probably made 10 years ago and never bothered to edit out the 20 mistakes in them that some students point out to them every year since. Why yes, I'm on my 5th semester for a CS degree, how did you know?
Same here bro
Same bro. Like, everytime he opens his slides there are always mistakes. And he dont even bother to fix that in like, 12 years.
Yup and then they edit the slides to fix their mistake and afterwards when they close the powerpoint they press "Don't save" and the cycle restarts.
My respect literally went through the roof that you went for your bachelors and then went back to do the undergrad cs courses and then went for your masters! That’s some dedication right there. Specifically after not spending your entire undergrad on that level of critical thinking and pure logic.
What are the core subjects to learn for undergraduate degree ?
@@kingman-bo5dt theory of computer science, basic computer architecture, algorithms (DSA/ALGO) to name a few
@@tottiegod8021 if you don't mind can you specify the subjects, because I'm confused but wanna know a roadmap.
@@kingman-bo5dt Harvard has some into classes. I would find a specific university and find exactly what they teach because very university is different.
That's crazy to hear someone talk about Prolog! Neat little language, took two semesters of it during my undergrad. Very few people seem to even know it exists.
4 months late, but I hope you see this comment. I just graduated and one of the professors I had is about 30 years behind the times. In one of my classes with him, we worked on prolog for 6 weeks, where we then compared it to Haskell as a logic vs functional language. Not the best use of modern languages, but despite the headaches, both languages were kind of fun to mess around with.
Sounds like you had a really good experience! I'm currently struggling to get my Bachelors and my school sucks! All the professors are super cocky!
Starting my masters in 2 weeks for CIS. Got in on a hope, and an undergrad in heathcare with some tech experiance way in the past. Thanks for sharing! With everyone not getting degrees I always wonder who did. Thanks for all your help too!
How's it going now? I'm an IT bachelor thinking about getting a CS masters
Always look forward to your videos! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I recently started following your CZcams channel and joined your discord which is amazing! Keep up the good work Sam 😀
I'm doing Computer science & I've never seen that many A's😭😭😭
I'm so motivated
Yes all those A’s I’m over here looking like 👀😳👀😳
Loving your transparency!
Thanks for the amazing content - subscribed! I also have a non-technical bachelors and am looking to apply to a masters in CS like you did. Wonder if you have any tips and advice for the prereqs?
This is a great overview. I have a number of friends who studied CS at Cal Poly and I can attest that it is indeed a great program, and one of the best public CS programs in the US.
Freecodecamp master is here 🙌
I did most of these during my undergrad period. I'd think Master's would be a little bit more specialised or math intense
Same, I think Masters should be something like IT Forensics. Or Computational Hardware Design. Not "we did some reading of whitepapers on cryptography and learned to download Android SDK"
Comparing to my masters in Mexico. This sounded like a breeze, like a summer course. I got my masters degree while working full time and still it was easier that the electronics engineering major. But in my case we had a lot of math for machine learning and AI stuff. We learned about the Turing machines, and a little bit of big data and security
@@Haibrayn42 can you explained that bro
bro , your journey is inspirational❤
love the channel bud
Awesome video, keep up the amazing work! :)
finish the vid first lmak
Hey I also have a Masters from Cal Poly SLO. It's in Electrical Engineering.
What do you think of it? Did you do the 4+1 or apply externally?
I REALLY NEEDED THIS KINDA VIDEO YOU KNOW...
Attending Cal Poly SLO right now for Computer Engineering, sucks that it’s not in person because of COVID but nonetheless excited to possibly take a few of the courses you did!
As a Danish master's student of Computer science having to go through 8 exams each year that completely decide my grades, this sounds kind of easy/laid-back
I go through 24 each year i don't recommend it
It’s the US, what have you expected?
@@TornacenseDeFuturo well they have the highest ranked university's so i would expect to be harder to achieve good grades
@@thebleugaming9444 maybe the guy studied hard to get those good grades...
@@bigshaqsmathematicalinstit3318 But the topics are basic
Brooo I'm usually an all a+ student but virtual learning has made my grades plummet. Good thing I'm not in highschool yet so my gpa wont be decimated. I feel so lucky though that there's all these resources to make programming and high school/uni less generally confusing. Thank you and all the other coding channels. Keep on coding
almost every single class that you just said was covered in my 2-3-4 year, and its just a bachelor simple bachelor CS degree in romania
I feel the same. The courses are too easy for graduate level.
Damn I had DAA, Advanced Computer Networks in my Bachelors, and I took Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Data Science, Network Programming as my electives throughout my bachelors. I did most of the topics you mentioned in my bachelors. Is it even worth doing a masters then? The only thing i wouldn’t know would be Security and that too I had internships to self learn the basics of.
This was terrific! I love the breakdown and summary of each. It sounds like one heck of a challenging program. Definitely going to check out their course offerings and syllabus to get an idea to broaden self study. I also like how you shared this experience. Clearly it required dedication and hard work.
Finally someone who's doing it for a graduate degree
As usual, always impressive! ❤️#FlexingAndCoding
#NothingIsPrivate
I hit the Amazon website soon as I heard you talked about interning there 😂 All I need is one internship to graduate.
Watching this as a high school drop out with only my GED and currently attending a bootcamp.
The amount of stuff that I am trying to cram into just 5 - 6 months is already a lot, but I also know that there is so much more that I will not even have touched.
I do worry that not having a CS degree will hurt not only my job prospects, but potentially my success on the job as well.
Fortunately I still have the rest of my life to continue learning.
You can do it, it’s never to late to keep learning
@@IEgOImkAwx thank you! 8 months into my current role!
"NSA can decrypt all our traffic.." would you mind giving the name of that paper? Or something that can help search for it?
Yeah, I'm curious about what he meant.
Yeah that made no sense, unless NSA got some backdoor like with the elleged elliptic curve backdoor there is no way for NSA to decrypt like AES256
Tanenbaum's Computer Networks and Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach by James Kurose are excellent introductory text books on computer networking. Beet's networking guide is also a fun activity if you want to get some hands on tcp/ip programming skills. Stallings also has some more advanced material if you want to deep dive into networking and Mike Meyer's Network+ exam preparation material gives a whole other, not only theoretical/real life approch that can add a lot of depth to your knowledge.
Inspiring, Thank you bro
Wow... that is like one or two of my uni years here in Spain... really makes you think xD
Also would you mind sharing your study technique for managing working full time and school? I have trouble retaining information whilst managing both.
We have tons of classes and there were no textbooks in France when I did my degrees, only notes taken in class and slides. Good luck! x)
Also you usually don't get As because "perfection doesn't exist", you get 14/20 if you're very good, 16/20 if you're super good. It can happen that you get more, but mainly in math, or with exceptional professors who are sick of this BS.
You blacked out and got an A? I blacked out and was removed from the class for sleeping with a C grade in practical
I got abolished for 6 weeks with 4 friends in analog technology theory class, during my final
Exam year, and I was the only one to scare an 10/10 without having had any of the classes. If I knew in my freshman year, I’d never showed up :)
You seems to really enjoy it. Good thing to know
I´m wil starting with a Computer Science Master in summer and I really feel more excited after to watch this video.
You are well on your way to becoming a Professor
Your case looks similar to mine, I also got first degree in human science and decided to change my curriculum the fastest way: a university-kind organisation with attitude - if you pay, you can study as long as you want, where 'master degree' is just a shortened version of bachelor degree by level of competency. I once got myself in debt studying in one of universities of London, and still failed. Now I study Master Degree in Computer Modeling at University of Vilnius(LT), I also needed prerequisites for that, but more modules:
Discrete math, algorithms and ds, OOP, databases, computer architecture and software development - was a foundation year.
Now I study: Nonlinear modeling, cryptography, spatial db, java tech, advanced algorithms, information security, data analysis, data visualization , master project on neural networks and thesis. That includes a lot of maths(differential equations, linear algebra, geometry etc)
I probably should be hired by google if I were american. But I live in eastern europe :) and pay 0 money for my studies(excluding some course retakes)
My advice: choose carefully what you are going to study
All those course units are similar to my computer engineering undergraduate bachelors programme at Makerere University,with exception of mobile app dev,
Cal poly slo is my dream school. Hope I get into ms in CS program as well
I must say, I really enjoyed watching this, so I had to like and subscribe. Starting an MSc Computing program in the UK this September. Wanted to know what it's like cos I'm from a non-computing background (BSc Geography).
im really nervous as a freshman in cs it's really painful forgetting what I learned last sem
I also wish to perform and learn the best (getting my bachelor's degrees from last year)
I have a BA and an MA in Psych and I just applied to anMA in CS and got accepted, surprisingly. I’m beyond excited! If I did it, anyone else here can. Good luck guys!
How did you get in , can u pls share how did u manage prerequisite before admit
I’m in a similar position looking at graduate programs; question, how did you complete the prerequisites? Community college or how does that work?
Design & Analysis of Algorithm ; A lot of topic i learned still come up today....in interviews
San louis Obispo is such a nice area, I like it just a short drive out
Yo I also went to Cal Poly for my Computer Science degree and it looks like you graduated at the same time I did. That’s cool!!
Forgot to add:
Tuition: $21,600
Grants: $14,400
Tuition after grants: $7,200
This doesn’t include cost of living.
All prerequisite classes were taken at Cal State East Bay over the course of 2 years.
how did you get the grants?
I applied through FAFSA
2:53 networking hooray 🙌 😄😍
Was always confused whether to opt for IT or CS
I have AI and Network security in my upcoming semester and btw great video sam 👍
Where did you take all the prerequisite courses for your masters? Thanks!
Master's aint no joke. Sweet gig!
Out of curiosity, where did you take the CS prerequisite courses? At a university or like a local community college?
Kindly explain the process through which you switched from non technical to technical degree. Which courses were pre requisite? Where did you take them.
Hey, what coding languages did you know before you went to college?
2 things I wished my colege in EU had, Futbal(not calling it soccer) and the hacling class you had on spring. But was a Electrotechnik Eng not a Computer Science Degree.
As a Computational Math Graduate, I don't remember the last time I got an A.
What did you do for a living full time during your time in grad school?
I applied for Computer Science Master studies and even attended the first semester but then realized it's such a waste of time for me for now so I abandoned that. And after watching this video I'm now even more sure that I made the right decision. Even though my average mark in diploma for Bachelor studies is A and liked to study overall, it was just so demotivating to spend so much time on stupid low-level assignments.
How rigorous were the classes in the quarter system? I did my undergrad at UCLA and my experience was not good. The classes were hard and 10 weeks just isn't enough time to understand everything they required. Im afraid of doing another quarter system school.
You made it sound easy, so maybe it's a lot better? I do realize that UCLA CS undergrad is not a very good department in general.
Can one do the Cal Poly CS Masters Part time or is it only a full time program?
Fun fact: I study in the university where prolog was invented (Aix Marseille University, even if at this time it wasn't grouped but I do study in the campus (Luminy) where it was created hehe), we used it in a logic class, syntax is quite special but it's fun
But then the teacher were so happy that it com me from here X)
Mobile App was my favorite ❤ undergrad class too
3:52, yeah I've been there, it was horrible lol
Damn no textbooks, i would have loved that class
As someone who grew up in SLO it kills me how you said San Luis Obispo. Definitely best bang for buck school though.
Uhm, ... that was pretty much my first two years of CS bachelor, master should be way more specialized and advanced, those were all basic courses. I wonder what the CS bachelor at that university looks like then
Also, how is it that easy to get A's in a class... :o Here in germany you literally would have to suck the profs... nevermind you get the idea😂
Yap... I’m also from Europe... I don’t wanna be an asshole but his masters was bullshit... how can you only take 2 undergrad classes a quarter?
@@mikehawk4583 You should try UWS in Scotland. That was such a rubbish uni, even this guy's uni sounds decent in comparison. 😱
😂😄 "Here in Germany"... I felt that
@@Gilded2H That argument is valid, but it looks more like a way of easily satisfying the sheer ammount of demand for "low-spec" or "unpolished" IT workers.
Let's be honest, an university graduate is still facing some years of education (work experiance also counts as education) to specialize in one field.
I'm French, I agree.
Nice one
I feel like the grading is so different in USA. Here in Europe almost no one gets A’s.
Best Bang for your buck is Georgia Tech's OMSCS. I pay $1200 per semester to go to a #8 ranked CS school.
Are you saying the NSA can decrypted public/private key encrypted data?
If you don't mind me asking what was your GRE score?
Looking to complete the prerequisites for the Master since I graduated from a non-cs degree too.
Where in CA did you take those classes? Did you take it online or in some college?
Cal State East Bay
After my bachelor degree on Computer Science i did my master on Information Security & Computer Forensics,most people who did that master they're working now as an IT Security and im the only one of them who is working as a Software Engineer
Where did you take your prerequisite courses?
I have a BS in computer science and I want to continue for a master degree but was wondering if this degree consists of coding or just studying is there any practice or just books
Who you took CPE 349? Did you take AI with Kerfuss? Who you took networks?
The two years that you took courses where did you take the courses?
Why didn't you go to Amazon for Full Time if you interned there? Was it a good place to work?
An internship is way different than a full time offer, don't get it twisted
I despise the current textbook we are using for ap cs a in highschool right now.
Was it naive of me to think that you'd teach me everything you learned in 9 minutes? 😂
What type of people did you get recommendations from?
What programming language did you choose at first when introduced to the world of Computer Science?
C++
@@KeepOnCoding Do you recommend Python?
This depends on your school. Some chose one language, some choose multiple languages. I my school we only used c++ . but the focus is not on the language but the cs concepts.
I learnt all.of this in my undergrad bruh
Great video. But I feel like I've taken all these courses in my bachelor's degree☺️Did you take any web development courses? Any programming language you've taken?
The graduate level courses were usually a continuation of the ones taken at the undergrad level.
@@KeepOnCoding Okay, Thank you!
Hi, I am in desperate need of help. I am currently a 3rd year mechanical engineering student and want to do MS in comp. As you mentioned in your video that you took courses to do the same I was confused as to what it meant and how can I do those courses as well?
how to get all this class, are anyone online? I would love to take it.
Hey, can you please link that paper with NSA traffic decryption?
My issue is I am a textbook person who is a slower learner who likes to see other aspects of the main topic. Are their a list of recommended books for self study, everything I seen seems to be very dated in books
what company are you working at right now?
When first time I saw your video I thought I know you, I saw you before but I did not remember. But now I remembered. I saw you in Star Wars. You are Oscar Isaac.
Lol I see it
