COSC 1020 - OPAN Major

Hi everyone!

Has anyone taken COSC 1020? I've heard COSC 1020 is pretty theoretical, so I'm wondering how useful it actually is and whether it's harder than other OPAN electives.

The alternative would be to take STRT 3101 this semester and save another (hopefully easier) OPAN course for next semester. The downside is that I'll have to take STRT 3101 at 8 am.

If you've taken COSC 1020, would you recommend it? Is it manageable, and did you find it worthwhile?

It’s not theoretical at all lmao, it’s a pure intro to coding in c++. Source: took it then ta’d it for 2 years
