Computer Science Courses:
Intro to Computer Science
Common Topics in Intro to Computer Science:
Intro to CS might include a high overview on various popular programming languages like Java, Python and C++. It might go over the pros and cons of different languages and their use cases. Concepts like Object-oriented programming, writing clean code, writing unit tests could be explored. Additional topics might include how to use a debugger, how to test your code, algorithm analysis and recursion.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
An Intro to CS course can cover a very large breadth of topics without going into too much detail. It will almost certainly include some programming. Popular introductory textbooks include:
Additionally, if you require supplementary learning material, Harvard offers a highly rated and well known online intro to CS course called CS50. It is self-paced and can be an incredible resource to help ease you into the world of computer science.
Data Structures and Algorithms
Common Topics in Data Structures and Algorithms
A Data Structures and Algorithms course might include topics like basic data structures like arrays, Linked Lists, stacks, and queues. It could introduce you to the idea of algorithmic complexity. It could also explore topics such as divide-and-conquer algorithms, dynamic programming algorithms, network flow algorithms, linear and integer programming, large scale search algorithms, and NP-completeness.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
The Data Structures and Algorithms will be one of the most (if not the most) important classes you will take for your CS degree. Not only will it teach you about the tools in your problem solving toolbox, it is also material that you will likely see during coding interviews for internships and jobs. Take this class seriously.
Leetcode is a popular website used to practice coding interview style questions. Leetcode offers its premium version at a discount for groups associated with universities. See if you can get a discount for Leetcode premium. It is immensely useful when preparing for interviews.
Neetcode is a useful resource that provides explanations and solutions to coding interview style questions.
Some popular books for this course are:
Computer Architecture
Common Topics in Computer Architecture
A Computer Architecture course might see topics like computer structure, assembly language, instruction execution, addressing techniques, digital representation of data. Additionally it might cover topics like computer system organization, logic design, microprogramming, cache and memory systems.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
A popular Computer Architecture textbook is Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach
Database Management Systems
Common Topics in Database Management Systems
Key topics in a Database class include data models, query languages (like SQL), storage architecture, indexing, transaction processing, recovery, query processing and parallel architecture.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a programming language used for storing and processing information in a relation database. SQL can be thought of as an umbrella term. In fact, there are several “SQL dialects” that are in use throughout industry. These include postgreSQL, mySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.
Relational vs non-relational databases
Relational databases work with structured data. These are table and row oriented data. Non-relational databases do not have these constraints. These have no tables, rows, primary keys or foreign keys. Non-relational databases, however, have the ability to store a large amount of data and provide scalability and flexibility when meeting changing business requirements.
Operating Systems
Common Topics in Operating Systems
An OS course might cover topics like the process model, virtual memory, threads, synchronization and deadlock. It might cover higher level topics such as file systems, interprocess communication, networking, and security.
Artificial Intelligence
Common Topics in Database Management Systems
An AI course might explore topics like algorithms for search and planning, optimization, reasoning and inference mechanisms, machine learning, deep learning and neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
Artificial intelligence is a very broad umbrella term. In fact, LLMs (large language models) like chatGPT that have become popular recently represent a subset of the field of artificial intelligence. Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning all exist under the umbrella term “AI.” However, in industry, the terms AI and ML are used almost interchangeably.
A popular textbook for AI is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach.
Machine Learning
Common Topics in Machine Learning
An ML course might include topics like supervised learning (generative/discriminative learning, parametric/non-parametric learning, neural networks, support vector machines), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, kernel methods), learning theory and adaptive control. Other topics might include perceptrons, logistic regression, decision trees, Bayesian learning, neural networks and backpropagation.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
Supervised learning vs Unsupervised learning
One of the most important topics taught in an ML class is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning. These represent different ways a model can be trained. To put simply, supervised learning uses labeled training data while unsupervised learning does not.
Supervised learning uses labeled data to train itself to make predictions. With supervised learning, the model is iteratively adjusting itself to minimize error. Unsupervised learning will work independently of labels to learn the data’s inherent structure without any guidance or instruction of what is “correct.”
A popular textbook for ML is Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow.
Software Development/Software Engineering
Common Topics in Software Development/Software Engineering
A software development/engineering course could touch upon the software development lifecycle. This includes developing, delivering, and maintaining software products. You could learn basic development skills, common terminology used in industry, traditional coding standards/guidelines, techniques in modifying, building and testing software.
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
Some popular textbooks for this course are
Programming Languages
Common Topics in Software Development/Software Engineering:
Typical topics in a Programming Languages course might include language design tradeoffs; implementation considerations; functional, imperative and object-oriented paradigms; formal semantic methods and program analysis; higher order functions and closures; runtime support for language features; security issues
Here are some tips from our expert computer science tutors:
A popular textbook used in Programming Languages courses is Programming Language Pragmatics by Michael Scott.
