Ok, I got a D+ in my CS class (assembly language). I don't want to be a CS major anymore. what should I do?

[Quickfingerz]

I know you'll say Electrical Engineering but my drive in the physics series has been to great. I recieved C-, C, C, and C in the physics series so that means I don't think I can get into the engineering field of UC Davis. So what else can I do? Math? Physics? Chemistry? Economics?
Should I just transfer into a school that accepts anyone that applies to their engineering college?

Management Science.......

 

[RaoulDuke]

yup MIS baby.

 

[TranceNation]

take it again and study hard. Assembly is great but most likely in the real world you probably won't use it.

 

[somethingwitty]

Systems engineering...I assume that MIS is management information systems?

 

[psteng19]

don't worry about assembly. it was a pretty tricky class for me as well. i gotta B. like everyone's been saying, it's still used, but very very very very rarely.

Well I've had 3 majors. Elec Engineering, Comp. Science and now plain old Business Admin. I used to go to Drexel University for the first two majors. I was so confused man. Still am. But I'm going to start my own production/promotional company. I am in the process of opening a new club too. I'd say look to what your heart tells you. I just can't see myself in the Tech field anymore... and now pursuing my dream as a musician/small business owner now.

What is your passion Quickfingerz?

Do alotta research and talk to your college counselor. Look at all the subjects you've done well in and look at what major seems to fit in with those subjects.

Is this a lower division assembly class? I would say MIS is a good way to go but at my school to get an MIS degree you have to pass an assembly class anyways, same goes for electrical engineering.

d+ u must suck , i always get headshots in CS i bet i could get an A

 

[iamwiz82]

i was originally a CS, but my Co-op opened my eyes to MIS, and i realized that programming is for the fools who want to stare at a screen fro 40 hours a week. I prefer interacting with people, developing networks, building infrastructure, etc.

 

[vi edit]

I failed C++ the first time, and got a C in VB. I still wound up graduating with a CS degree.

Just because you bombed a couple classes doesn't mean you are useless in the "real world". Stick with it and try harder.

C in VB and you are in the real world doing what again???

CS is not only programming or about computers, so don't let these intro programming courses that you have to take draw you off of the field. You probably will not use much assembly anyways. What you should do is look at what couses you will have to take to complete the major and decide if they interest you. If after that you still want to switch then look at the electives you have taken in other fields and see if any of them were interesting or inspired you in some way.

If you are going to be at school this summer then maybe trying out a few classes in other fields you might be interested in would be a good idea.

Either MIS or a IT. I was a ICS before at UCi but got fed up of sitting in front of a screen. (well actually I still do that) But I enjoy what I do now. Don't forget to get your certs if you want to make more. They're relatively easy and they always need IT right?
