my 1st year of CS at uni

I've just finished my first year of studying Computer Science at UCL and in this video I share what I learned at university. I show you what my university experience was like, the things that I struggled with and also what I enjoyed.

Modules:

Term 1:
1. Engineering challenges with EEE
2. Design and professional skills (Python, Ethics)
3. Principles of programming (C, Haskell)
4. Discrete maths

Term 2:
1. Object oriented programming (Java)
2. Algorithms and data structures (Python)
3. Theory of computation
4. Maths and statistics

keep moving forward :)

if you've scrolled all the way down here, hi 👋🏽

My man just said discrete math was the easiest course 💀

Very nice video, resonating my feelings studying in ucl this year. Maybe in many years I will come back to watch your video as a memory of my first year in ucl cs department. 👍🏽

No mater how i look at it courses at the west are light and more practical. In my first year i had to go though:
Term1:
1. Introduction to CS
2. Digital Logic
3. Calculus
4. Programming with C
5. Physics

Term2:
1. Statistic and probability
2. Microprocessor
3. OOP with C++
4. Discrete structure
5. Linear Algebra

Hope you do one for year 2. Super interesting. Good luck.

This was excellent to watch! You really have the knack of video creation! I am also going to UCL but am studying geography, also awaiting my actual A level results lmao fingers crossed. Maybe I will see you in September!

Interesting so hear your experience. Very concise and well presented! Your notes look interesting as well! Would you be able to share those with us, since many of us are self studying for CS :)

[meostyles]

Haskell isn't used much in the real world, it's more like one of those esoteric languages that really shows how good functional programming can be with monads etc, but then other languages make those features more accessible

[tabadeii]

Well done Sir, an excellent example well executed. Thank you.

[Socialsoda]

Lovely video Zafaris! nicely edited. Very useful for new comers to UCL too.

[aravindalapati]

Editing was bombastic and good presentation bro

[blufelix]

Very well edited and performed video mate. I was just wondering why UCL for computer science and how did it attract you to study there?

[sanjeevpandey]

OMG, it really worked. Thank you so much!!

[maarand]

Hands down tNice tutorials is one of the best tutorials I've seen on any subject, ever! Clear, concise and incredibly informative and easy to follow.

[cricket]

Great editing and very detailed with cool side humour, nice work!!🤌🏽🤌🏽

[moiz_zzz]

This vid got linked in an email from the ucl cs department sent to all new first year students. congrats man!

[nxc]

what are your vs code settings? Also great video

[tobyli]

although I'm gonna graduate soon this is a nice video. Good quality, keep up

[lineherz]

I love your video. Just as what I felt this year at UCL CS. This video makes me feel UCL CS is quite good although I didn't throughout the year LOL.

[hamzahaiqbal]

at this rate u might start inspiring others to make vids 😃

I dont know much about UCLs undergrad compscience until I saw this video, (great video btw). But as a postgrad, I strongly deter anyone from taking the Finance degrees in Compscience. The structure is very poor, and the teaching is even more messy. Although the professors are highly qualified, their pedagogical skills are left wanting; if you truly want to learn something rather than just achieve some prestige from the degree offered, I highly recommend you search elsewhere.
