wait yo if u do compsci how

wait yo if u do compsci at unsw is it hard, cus thats my backup...like what do u even do thats the thing. all ik is u code😅
I don't do comp sci at UNSW but comp sci isn't just purely coding it's actually a really big a broad area as a lot of things fall under the comp sci umbrella but in a broad overview comp sci is the study of computers so you will learn about data structures and algorithms, optimization, how to solve problems by creating and using algorithms and a bunch of other stuff so while there is coding there is a lot of cool (imo) theoretical stuff that makes comp sci what it is

thanks :) and also would you say its a difficult course to take? ik maybe at the start it might be challenging, or does it keep getting harder year by year. I was thinking of doing engineering or acturial studies but apparently the dropout rate is crazy high at 70%

If you want a more in-depth insight into what you'll cover in computer science, I recommend you have a look at the course handbook: It'll show you all the courses you will need to take throughout the degree and the specialisations you can pick from.
Is it better to go unsw or usyd for compsci? and if so, what are the respective atar requirements? I don't know the exact score, just roughly around low 90? Also I've heard you take a double degree with compsci, what are the benefits of doing so, cus I'm not really sure which one to choose if I was going to.

I haven't been in comp sci long enough to comment on this however, my guess would be that it'll probably get harder as I think that some later courses will get really deep into the complex, theoretical stuff and so I wouldn't be that surprised if it does get harder later on. However, I think that it'll be a difficult course to take if someone have no interest in it and they just want to land a 6 figure job as a software developer/engineer as they'll most likely find the course incredibly boring which could make the course more difficult as they might struggle in understanding concepts due to a lack of interest and also most software dev jobs don't just accept a comp sci degree and require a good portfolio, internships and actual competence in coding and understanding how to solve problems using code as someone who is interested in it might find the degree hard but they'll likely persevere and find interest in the degree which could help them push through the degree

- marked 4u trial paper (first ever 100% woo)
- did 3u trial paper
- marked 3u trial paper
- did chem trial paper
- marked chem trial paper
- started work on the summary sheet I need to bring in for my physics task. idk why it’s a thing, it’s super weird because you can just bring in a full timeline and just copy it for the question. anyway

decided not to do a physics trial paper this weekend because I want to focus on the assessment on wednesday and also I’m gonna run out of physics paper papers by trials at this rate so I want to try save them up a bit

To what extent is it the style of the dramatist that brings life to the character(s) in Shakespeare’s King Henry IV Part 1?
