- jasonjei 12y agoIs it NC State? I found the instruction there excellent--at least for theory classes like Automata, Decision And Complexity Theory as well as Data Structures. They offer a real distance education that is run just like an in-person class, with videotaped lectures, projects, and proctored exams. They are one the few universities that offer the full repertoire of bachelor CS classes online, a little known secret. Even though their distance education isn't well marketed, you could complete in theory a BS computer science remotely just through NC State--something that you can't quite yet do with MITx or Udacity--and in addition, their online CS classes do not have an asterisk on your transcript indicating they were taken online, since you are often lumped into a section with the in-person class.
- kd0amg 12y agoThe ranking here is about research output, not quality of teaching.
- javert 12y agoThis list isn't all that meaningful because they have a narrow definition of "CS theory." It's perfectly meaningful of course if you want a ranking based on that narrow definition.
- akhilcacharya 12y agoThat's true, but I do think its disappointing we rank so far behind our neighbors (Duke, UNC) in CS in it seems every ranking.
