Gagawa sana ako ng ComSci thread eh. Lol
ComSci student here, kakaumpisa ko lang and I must say mahirap siya in the sense na kung di ka talaga mag-aaral wala kang patutunguhan. Pero diba sa lahat naman eh ganyan?

Logic and Maths ang karamihan na nasa course ko... But I would recommend this course, kung interesado ka sa computer and design, then this is for you :)
Good mathematical skills is an advantage but not really necessary.
I only wanted you; anyone else is a compromise.

I'm taking up comsci too, and I'm not gonna lie, it's a real kicker. Be prepared to spend hours in front of your pc just coding, and don't even get me started on debugging, it's an even bigger pain in the butt sometimes. It's not all programming though. Like what gummY_anGeL mentioned, there's also math involved. I mean you won't just be taking calc, but subjects like discrete math din which is super different from what I think of as 'normal' math 'cause it deals with logic more than calculations. There's going to be a little bit of the hardware side in comsci din, at one point or another you're probably going to deal with something like computer architecture.

It's gonna be hard, but don't let that discourage you from taking up what you really want. Just prepare yourself mentally and know how to balance your time and you'll be good to go. :)

What school are you going to? :)

I'm seriously hating discrete maths! Sis, are you good at it?
Ugh, I dont get basis and inductions!  :P

Inductions were like word problems coated in logic... headache talaga! Mas gusto ko yung normal problems sa propositional logic, like sometimes all you have to do is manipulate to prove, wala nang kailangan na interpretation like sa inductions. Sis, discrete math for me was one word: NOSEBLEED! Hahaha! Hang in there. :)

and would still be ok if im not good in drawing? hehe.

nadalove: saan po kayo nagaaral?

DLSU-M for around a year and a half. I had to move out of the country like six months ago though, but I'm still taking up the same course. As for drawing--don't worry, wala pa akong experience na maka encounter ng subject na kailangan ng drawing skills. It's not  really related to comsci, I think you have the course multimedia arts in mind, mas related siya dun along with graphic design. :)

nadalove:
uhm, nasa australia ako eh so concised yung system. i go to university of newcastle pa, kaya hay nako china-challenge o nang sobra. sabi ko nga sa mga friends ko di na'ko dadatnan kasi napunta s kaka-nosebleed dugo ko eh. lol

xinmoi:

^hahaha. ano ba? concised yung education system. ang bilis masyado ng lectures.

china-challenge... uhm, hello?haha. this course is challenging my entire sanity and patience - oh and also my brain capacity. yun, naman baka ma-discourage yung threadstarter from taking this course. haha

AHH OK. Hahahahah. Mali yung pagkabasa ko, my baddd. Akala ko china tapos challenge, and I was like, ano yun? Hahahah. Sabaw. And don't worry about it, you're not trying to discourage the threadstarter, you're just stating your experience. It's important rin na alam ng mga tao kung ano yung pinapasukan nila 'cause comsci's no walk in the park.

how about flow charting? meron din ba sa comsci? shocks! kinakabahan ako. i`m going to take this course in college kasi e.

Flowcharting... wala naman masyado. If you were referring to how you create the program flow, we just usually come up with pseudocode, which are kind of like steps. When you get to object-oriented programming though, you might be asked to make maps/diagrams, but don't worry about that muna, take it one step at a time. They'll teach you what you need to know, but as time passes they'll be requiring you to research by yourself/as a group. Sometimes I think that one of the goals of comsci is not to teach you all kinds of languages, but to teach you how to learn on your own, because when you're out of school and some new language gets developed, what you'll be relying on are the techniques you learned. It's ok to be nervous, sometimes (actually medyo all the time, hahahah) comsci gets hard, so just prepare yourself mentally. Before starting my first year I was scared as hell din 'cause of all the feedback I got about the course, like mataas daw mortality rate, puyatan, etc. It's true, but you'll learn to adjust if it's what you really want. :)

Just like what nadalove said, ComSci is no walk in the park.

It would pay off though cos ComSci graduates easily land jobs, get paid better  ;) and you will work in major cities with world-known companies if you do good.

OT: Konti lang interesado dito sa course na to? Lol

sa mga gustong kunin ang course na ito.

 I suggest you enroll yourself in KUMON MATH. Its one of the popular tutoring club in the world. Its based on Japan, more on MATH AND READING. I am ENROLLED here. MAGANDA ito, it taught me discipline and hard work. MALAKI ang tulong nito. I swear!
