A review of UBC's computer science courses

Having now completed my Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) degree at UBC, I must commemorate my time learning CPSC. Given my previous blog post, I thought it would only be fair to give CPSC and PHYS the same treatment, so I'm back with another tierlist.

The evaluation criteria will be identical to that of the physics tierlist. For the sake of brevity, I will not include such criteria here, so I encourage the reader to read my previous tierlist before this post.

Also, this list is in no way related to my previous list; a full ranking of the courses I've taken at UBC would not simply be a rank-wise union of these two lists.

Here's the list:

• S: ["CPSC 427", "CPSC 340", "CPSC 416"]
• A: ["CPSC 210", "CPSC 313", "CPSC 320", "CPSC 312", "CPSC 317"]
• B: ["CPSC 213", "CPSC 221", "MATH 220", "STAT 305", "CPSC 418"]
• C: ["CPSC 304", "CPSC 314", "CPSC 303"]
• D: ["STAT 306", "CPSC 310", "CPSC 455"]
• F: ["STAT 404", "CPSC 404"]
