I'm also a computer science first year student who is unfortunately struggling but these wise powerful words from these students encourages me to do better and start asking for help...thank u Gift for this amazing video💯🙏
Use youtube videos to study topics you don't understand.20% information you get it in class .80% is your research on internet.I finished computer science last year,now doing honours
past papers are a MUST. In my opinion its useless studying the content if you don't allocate time to the past papers. that's not to say past papers can replace studying content though!
Computer Science is very smooth in 1st Semester & Second Semester you will question yourself if it’s worth it . But well 8 mons ago,i had no knowledge of programming now i can program in 3 different languages
Nah bro it depends where u studying 😅at tuks it's tuff in the beginning...and It's not about the number of languages u know,u need to master the language
@@M3812 Lol 😂 Of course languages don’t matter when you don’t know career you looking for 🫵you can’t be wasting time learning Python if you want Embedded Systems. Which year are you doing?
I am a final year BSc Computer Science and Statistics (Data Science Stream) AND I am only left with 1computer Science module to graduate .This video motivates
yes I know someone who did exactly my majors he got into a junior role early this but my advice is to have a postgraduate studies coz stuff like machine learning and ai they just teach only their concepts in undergrade@SibongumenziCelimpilo-bi5gp
@@TshepangMolaeng Yes you can still study computer science. Just make sure that you give it your all in grade 12 please.. And apply to as many universities as you can and bursaries don’t be afraid to apply. And good luck. Study hard
I'm in Stellenbosch and doing the same course and I won't lie, the project they give us for first year and first time in the coding world, a bit too much like, first semester they wanted us to make a game and for second semester they want us to create chess. It not nice guys, and what worse i pass every test but can't do their project, it hell
Computer science involves a lot of programming and software(The parts of the computer you cannot touch like operating systems, applications, websites etc) insights and computer engineering is more focused on the hardware parts(The parts of a computer you can touch like the motherboard, memory chips etc) and actually making and repairing the hardware. Both computer science and computer engineering have coding, but they're coding for different purposes. Which one is best? Both are best but it depends which one appeals more to you. Do you like the thought of making apps cool or you just want to make robots and computers? I'm majoring in both Computer Science and Computer Engineering because I want both🤣
@@Abel.2.0At UCT yeah because in the science faculty, you must have 2 majors. A lot of people are majoring a computer science and mathematics or computer science and biology but I chose to major in computer science and computer engineering (There's also computer science and business computing, so there are a lot of options)
You don't really need a degree in IT get system Development Learnership. Then start teaching yourself or attend bootcamp like we think code then build projects
@bongi.. Not sure about Wits but for UCT you do get a degree after the 3 years. Its a full bachelors degree. If you do Honors that's an extra qualification. You can also get a job straight after the 3 year degree; however your chances are better obviously if you have the honors. I generally advise people to do honors if you can, because in lots of spaces they would require 4 years of tertiary education (i.e. going for postgrad, international opportunities, some jobs etc.).
It's not in demand. IT campanys recognise industry certs like your CompTIA and Cicso , Microsoft if you are into Network engineering side / support roles. I recommend you do system development Learnership then go to the self taught route > build projects good to go
@@MT-04 but UCT is overhyped bro 😭🙌 and it's not even the best in compsci 😂😂 not even in the top 10 in Africa-their graduates are literally amateurs in the workplace 🌚 they only know how to declare a variable in python 😭💀
Hy I wanted to ask if you could get into BSc computer science and statistics(data science stream) with a maths mark of like 85%. Cause these girls maths marks are scaring me 😂😭😭😂
@19:26 top notch advice. "Chase the degree, DON'T chase the University"👌🔥🔥🔥
Your videos push me to go and study 😭
That’s me bro!’

I see you followed up on my suggestion! Nice new microphone Gift! The voices are crystal clear👌👍🏻✨
What a wise and powerful words from those ladies 🔥🔥🔥❤

what is your focal area at stellies
Hey if you studying CompSci 1st Year lest connect
computer systems, what are is your focal area??
@@honestsiwele
Continue persevering ❤
Heyyyy gift…please may you do Computer science at EDUVOS Midrand 🙏🙏🙏since they are a private institution
Alright 😊
guys im in grade 12 what is the difference between comp science and comp engineering like which one would be better to choose???

tbh I really took IT for granted but now it's showing flames😅😅Arrays mchana Haii Bethunana😢😢

If you're grade 11 results are bad are you still coming to be accepted in computer science

hey I'm in grade 11 with the same situation as you, please tell me if you got in
@@somketchup yes you can in other universities if your grade 12 results are good..✌️
At some point can you please go to NMU and interview for us the Mechatronics there🙏
I will definitely 😊
Is computer science worth it?My brother is telling me that it's not in demand.
It’s definitely worth it and job guaranteed😊
I am a comp sci grad myself and I can tell you it is in demand. From my own experience and from seeing where my ex classmates are

Honors is one year and is normally full time@bongi..

I love both ☺these girls ,they full of that thing
Thank you gift
Can they leave their IG handles here please. I wanna ask them some questions.
xamera.wizard OR Koketso Lesedi
Gift are you trying to encourage more students to study compscie since most of your videos ,you interview compsci learners or it is just a coincidence
I encourage students to know more about different courses choosing it’s just a personal decision 😊
Bro i want to do com sci but i am not doing IT this video hepled me a lot
15:56 🤣🤣
@5:00 awuyithandi i bsc tuuu 🤣🤣
I'm sorry but UCT comp sci is easy come to tuks
Or Wits😭
@@katlehomyeza1077 Everything is easy at UCT😄😄
Nah bro, you can't disrespect UCT like that😂😂... You can compare Tuks with other universities.

I feel like i can switch to Computer Science yhooo
Go for it 😊😊
