UWO's Computer Science

wjiang(wjiang)

I am from UWO. I noticed in some posts, UWO was ranked to the end. Following
is some facts of UWO for your reference.

1. Each year, IBM hires some 50% of UWO's Computer graduates.

2. UWO is the first university in Canada that teaches JAVA in
the first and second year. CS026 in JAVA was introduced in 1997.
Using JDBC in DB2 was introduced in the summer of 1998

3. UWO is also the first in Canada that introduced Data Mining.

4. UWO's CS201 used to be one of the most difficult computer
courses in Canada's Computer Teaching society. CS201 is now
cancelled because it is too hard. Now it is substituted by
3 seperate courses, CS210, CS211 and CS212.

Thanks for your useful details. But is seems people out of UWO,including myself,don't know this before ,that is why we think UWO's CS can't compete with waterloo or toronto. BTW,do you have any idea of Mcmaster's CS ? -xut666(流浪的猫); 2001-1-27 (#23056@0)

I don't know McMaster, so I can't make comments. Good to know you are from UWO. you must know the famous CS201! -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 (#23058@0)

Hi,buddy, glad to hear from u so soon . but SORRY maybe i didn't make myself understood , i am NOT from UWO , but I know it's a very good school,especially its MBA . -xut666(流浪的猫); 2001-1-27 {331} (#23061@0)
As for CS, I believe it is good ,too ,'cause I can see from its website that it is trying to become one of the best in CA by all means .

I am applying 2nd bachelor degree program in CS and just got an offer from Queen's. Toronto Univ. and Waterloo haven't informed me.

Nice to know u here , happy new year and good luck!!

I don't know queen's CS. But Queen's MBA is one of the best. The cretia in choosing a school to pursue CS degree should be based on the field you are going to. -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 {333} (#23103@0)
each school has its strength and weakness. For example, UWO's networking is
weak. Do some research upon those who admit you. Don't just listen to others.
Some comments about pork are made by persons who have never seen a pig in their
life. For the right comments to Queens, I suggest you talk to people from Queens.
Good luck.

thanks so much for your valuable suggestion,seems you have a strong sense of humour,i really appreciate it! -xut666(流浪的猫); 2001-1-27 {629} (#23106@0)
I graduated from the China Pharmaceutical Univ. 4 years ago and then worked in Suzhou . I landed in Toronto last Aug. and now I work in a pharmaceutical company near Toronto. I love CS but to tell the truth I don't know much of it. That is why I feel difficult to choose a suitable school to study CS. Of course it is easy to make a decision if i am admitted by Waterloo or Toronto,'cause ....... . ^,^haha , I bet you know why . Thanks for you let us know more about CS of UWO,its advantages and weakness. I bet they are really useful to all who are considering to seek a CS degree. Hope to see more posts from U , buddy!!

What I wonder is that UWO teach FORTRAN and O2 -guest:WHY?; 2001-1-27 (#23076@0)

it is natural. some canadians think chineseman still has pig tail (bian4 zi1) -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 (#23085@0)

I found them in UWO course description -guest:why; 2001-1-27 (#23087@0)

that are courses for students outside the department. Maths and statics students need Fortune. As per O2, I have no idea. No people I know in computer science ever take that. Personally, I don't know what is O2 except for it is a -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 {17} (#23090@0)
operation system.

Fortran 77: http://www.csd.uwo.ca/courses/CS320/ .O2:http://www.csd.uwo.ca/courses/CS411a/outline.html -guest:why; 2001-1-27 (#23092@0)

the core courses in CS of UWO are in X0X format -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 {1070} (#23104@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛the core courses in CS of UWO are in X0X format. For example, 401, 208.
Normally X1X, X2X are not core course. Courses such as Fortun, Unix, Database
are NOT core courses. A noncore course is the course that you can't use it
to build up your credits. For example, a course named "English 101" is opened
by English department. But English 101 is not for students from English
department. Think about English 4 level certification in china, it is not for
English student. Back to computer science, the course "Unix" is not for
CS students either. CS students should take "Operation System". O2 is like Unix. It
is an application rather than operation system theory. CS students can't gain credits
by taking application courses. That's why no school teaches MCSE. And fortune is
named "scientific computing" if I remember correctly. It is for Math students.

If you read the course description correctly, you will understand the difference.
Or think in China's system, core courses are Bi4 Xiu1 Ke4 and others are Xuan3
Xiu1 Ke4.

more fact of UWO's computer science -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-27 {501} (#23086@0)
UWO, like any other school, has its own defect. It is pretty weak in Computer
Netwroking courses. If you are pursuing this direction, either go to UWO's EE
or go to another school. Other than that, I don't see why UWO is worse.

Of course, UWO's computer science doesn't have much beautiful girls. If you
are a breautiful girl, go there to enhance it. If you are a man, think it
over, you have very little chance to find a lady. I had to go back to china
to import my wife in the end. :-)

hi bad boy i really like your sense of huour , and ur excellent english!!! go on ! -xut666(流浪的猫); 2001-1-27 (#23107@0)

The first may not the best. I believe Qinghua and Beida are not the first who give Java course in China Us. -guest:; 2001-1-30 (#23429@0)

a student out of UWO at year 98 and 99 is well loaded with JAVA, while his competitors from other scholl have to learn from scratch. You are right time doesn't mean quality. -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-1-31 (#23498@0)
