On Reddit: "Doing it this sem. It’s about algorithms yes but not relevant to Mechatronics engineering at all despite being a core. It’s more like computer science 101. The lecturer assumed we knew basic data structures and sorting algorithms when we don’t, because the only prerequisite was …"
On Reddit: "IMO, if you've done subjects like FoA before, then this subject will be a walk in the park. Most of the concepts taught go over similar things in FoA and they give you way too much time to do assignments. If your competent at programming and need a really easy wam booster, than …"
