So far, I have no problem with computer programming courses ( i.e. C++, Java, Assembly etc...) . However, I really have a difficult time with theoretical courses such as Data Structure, Algorithm , pProgramming Languages etc... Maybe I do not know how to study abstract subjects ? I would like to have some advices in dealing with these tyoes of courses. Thanks.. Best regards, I am a second year computer major .

CS students should keep doing puzzles n stuff to get their grey matterial goin . i think for computer science n programing n all u need very strong logical and analytical skills.

I managed to evade some topics. For example i had to learn Fourier analysis now, but should have learned it two years ago by curriculum. My experience and what i hear from others let presume the possibility that you can get a degree and know nothing more than you learned in school. On the other hand our definition of what it means to "know" something may be different. Well, i learned some math here, Soeren. I managed to evade some topics.

How did you get your "Vordiplom"? You're required to do two exams in math. One in linear algebra and one in analysis. Since those are held by mathematicians the niveau is rather high. As far as I know, the mathematic education of an computer scientist who made his degree in Karlsruhe is at a very high standard. You think you can get a degree in Karlsruhe without math knowledge?

It's a common situation where a 1st or 2nd year CS student is doing well on the C++/Java assignments, and then is completely lost during the work terms in between school. So I think it would be good to see other programming languages used in the classroom. I'd love to take a class with any of the cool languages you've listed - Ruby, Haskell, Erlang or Scheme. The lectures should really concentrate on the concepts, not syntax. Since the latter on its own is hardly usable anyways.
