  • I am now a couple of months removed from graduating with my master's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois, so I figured it would be a good idea to reflect on my time in the program and discuss my experiences chronologically. The hope is this will help prospective students get a feel for what pursuing a degree like a master's in computer science is like.

    Overall I am happy with what I learned through my master's in CS experience, hope my journey gives others perspective on what going through a similar program would be like 😎

      Hey man, trying to reach you for something we can potentially collaborate on, but can't find your email.
      Can you shoot either your email or Telegram ?

    As a bachelor's graduate of CS I found this video informative. I always wondered what a master's degree in CS looks like.

      Spend 5 figures learning something you could get in 1 year of paid apprenticeship. College is a terrible deal.

    Your channel has been very helpful for me! I have been looking into Online MCS programs and I've decided to pursue the one by UIUC. I'm coming from a Non-CS background though so I plan on taking some pre-reqs at an online community college first (looking at Oakton or Foothill).

    Can you make video about most require skills to get first job in blockchain field as a dev?
    I mean more detail than solidity, Js etc for example experience with Moralis and hardhat etc maybe interview with developer which one hires Juniors, and what skills is he looking for? 🤔 🤔

    I mean ideally a professor teaches such that 1x speed is fast enough lol

    Hi Will, Have you heard of the Carnegie Mellon Master of Software Engineering, what are your opinions on this one?

    • @willelliottYT
      @willelliottYT  Год назад

      Haven’t looked into that one specifically. I know Carnegie Mellon is well respected for STEM programs so you likely can’t go wrong there. I’d compare it to UT Austin, UIUC MCS and GT OMSCS and see what fits your needs the most.

      @@willelliottYT How would I go about comparing? tbh my strategy is to apply to GT OMSCS -> UT Austin -> UIUC MCS -> Carnegie Mellon. Depending on if I get rejected by each first.

    Thanks for the video! I am making a career change and want to do the University of Illinois’ MCS or the Electrical and Computer Engineering Master of Engineering (MEng) program. How was heavy was the math for the MCS program? I ask because it has been 8 years since I took calculus and linear algebra. I am getting my programming skills back, but I am unsure if I should do a serious math review before going for the MCS/ MEng. I know AI heavily uses linear algebra and probability, but did you review calculus or discrete math before starting the MCS?

    • @willelliottYT

      Used very little math in the MCS program.
