- _coveredInBees 3y agoHighly recommend CS61A. Can't say enough good things about it.
- alex_lav 3y agoI’ve been curious for a while now, if anyone’s had success completing these courses via YouTube or open courseware or whatever, and citing them as a proxy to an actual undergrad degree on a resume. The content seems great, and other than, I guess, interaction with professors and other students, I’m unsure what the difference would be in outcomes?
- projectileboy 3y agoIt’s a good question. I took it as an Extension student working on a degree, but if you made yourself do the assignments, you’d have much the same experience. The only thing you’d miss are sections with a TA, which is valuable, but I think you could replicate with a study group.
- pamelafox 3y agoFor the full CS61A course experience, you would want to do the assignments and even try the exams, which are fairly difficult (they are the grade differentiator, for the most part). I wrote up a post about how to audit 61A as an external learner: http://blog.pamelafox.org/2022/07/how-to-audit-cs61a.html http://blog.pamelafox.org/2022/07/how-to-audit-cs61a.html (I taught it for a few semesters)
- kobiguru 3y agoThank you for this blog post. I have been trying to audit it on my own and always got stuck on the assignments.
