For CS1XX you have to "apply" to be able to register for the course so don't worry, compsci is still exclusive and you have to be an extra special person to be offered the privilege of enrolling. Be sure to add to your LinkedIn that you spent a semester "generating study guides and research reports"

Idk how much CS enrollment is dropping here specifically but gee sure is nice that the department now wants to welcome people into the courses that will (1) keep them dependent on technology and (2) not teach them anything about the science of computing

It is interesting to see how this general topic has trickled down from grad seminars to special topics courses and now to undergrad/freshman course offerings, both in CS and IS. I'm curious if the profs looked at iSchool offerings first, and if so what they felt necessitated a whole new course

so anyway make sure you spend time using the stuff you write

Nah I've currently got each record type in a separate module, one for each section of the document (jobs, education, etc). So I have to pick the right list to append to in my main program. Grouping them all under a single type would be smart tho

every section of the document is generated from a data structure (usually a list of records) so to add a new thing to the page I just write a new record and don't need to worry about formatting. Adding new kinds of sections isn't too bad either, its basically just a new type and an html-ify function

Could the popularity of STEM programs be partially responsible? Those students seem to think that systemization via courseware leads to fairness and seek rigid causality when things go wrong. Anecdotally, they have a harder time in humanities classes where grades have remained a bit more holistic

I just don't really watch TV or movies very often and so any kind of reference is lost on me. I enjoy the creativity and maker skills that are on display tho
