Master Of Science Puns

Hi there,

Yes, I know I should ask the universities. I have asked multiple and it's always a variation of

If you take the "Bereich Informatik" option I have the following subjects:

At least 12 ECTS Computer Science:

Algorithm and Data Structures 1 and 2 = 9 ECTS

Software Development 1 = 3 ECTS

8 Credits aus Mathematik:

Mathematics for AI = Analysis = 6 ECTS

Mathematics for AI 2 = Algebra = 6 ECTS

10 Credits aus Computer Architecture/Or-ganisation (e.g. computer architecture, operating systems, networks) :

Betriebssysteme = 3 ECTS

Netzwerk und verteilte Systeme = 4.5 ECTS

Informationssysteme 1 = 6 ECTS

Where the last 13.5 ECTS are taken as extra subjects during my bachelor studies to allow me the additional option of being able to do a master in computer science if I so wish.

What do you guys think? Would it be possible or should I not bargain on it? Literally, any advice is very useful.

My reason for wanting to keep my options open is that I'm scared that I might during the AI course find I love something more than AI and also that I might struggle to find a job with AI (even though I really like it - make no mistake).

Help would be appreciated a lot! :)

Sorry, I just feel the need to celebrate and this sub has helped me through many tough times! I never really imagined this day, there were so many struggles along the way, but perseverance paid off!

To those who are down, you can do it too! It is a long road but the incredible weight that lifted off my shoulders immediately after submitting has given me a feeling of accomplishment and freedom I've never experienced before. I was jumping around and squealing like a crazy person all across campus, just from sheer joy and relief.

Now I'm off to contemplate the incredibly open ended rest of my life, best of luck to you all and thanks for the years of support!

If you have two degrees and a 3.4 GPA, does it look better than a 3.4 with just one degree ?

Hello everyone! First of all let me introduce myself - I'm a 20 year old student from Portugal currently taking a bachelor's degree on Computer Science Engineering.

I'm on my 3rd year of university and about to choose my Masters Degree, if everything goes well. I believe that there's a specific sub-reddit for CS Majors advice, but I've decided to post here instead since advice in future careers will likely be the most important variable on my decision making tree aka Brain (too cringy? :P) I'll divide the most important topics that I've been thinking about with double "\n"s followed by CapsLocked titles in bold to simplify/organize your reading!

MY INTERESTS (in no particular order):

• Quantum Computing
• Artificial Intelligence
• Distributed Systems
• Cyber Security

Since I came into this field of study I've always been fascinated about AI and Cyber Security. As I continued my journey, and especially this year, the Quantum Computing idea struck me with fascination. Not only that, but this year I've also started studying Distributed Systems and I find it quite interesting as well. So here's the thing, I predict that most of you at this stage of reading are thinking - Well, AI and Cyber Security relationship is already a thing. Distributed Systems relies a lot on Cyber Security and Quantum Computing will have a tremendous impact not only on AI, but on Cyber Security as well and dear God... Can you imagine what a Distributed System of Quantum Computers would be like?! - but who am I to put words into your mouths pretending that I'm as good as a predictor as Bill Gates when I'm the one asking for advice... Sorry guys, I just like to engage in these types of conversations, forgive me for taking your time to read this stuff :( Anyways, I'll try to be as concise and direct as possible. Currently I'm more interested in Quantum Computing as I see a lot of potential for the future and I want to contribute for something big! But I also love AI and Cyber Security... Now that I've mentioned my interests I'll move to the next topic.

CAPABILITIES AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME:

Well... The truth is I might have a lot of ambition, but I also have a lot of insecurities. Sometimes I compare myself to the potentials of other fellow CS engineers and I ask myself - How am I going to bring this world something new while, I believe, there are thousands of programmers that know way more than I do and that implement algorithms with, hypothetically speaking, O(n) time w

Hey,

I'm 33, have a BSc (Hons) and Masters in Teaching. I've been teaching for the last 3 years and enjoy it but am getting tired of the pay.

I don't have kids yet but that's certainly on the horizon. What would be the most profitable masters degree I could do to shortcut to a well paying, stable job?

I'm strong in most academic fields but weak in mathematics.

Any help at all would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers,

title says it all. For reference, I was looking at Brown University and Boston University Masters programs.

I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, I took all prerequisites for MS MLS and even took advanced electives such as biochemistry, animal physiology, infectious diseases, etc. I had a pretty rough start due to personal/family issues, but managed to graduate with a 3.425 GPA.

I have a few questions about this career: Will getting my masters require additional effort than those with a bachelors in MLS? For those currently enrolled in graduate school in MLS, what is your advice for a prospective student with a bio degree? Also, what is the difference for those with a Bachelors in MLS compared to Masters in MLS as far as job opportunities? I assume a student with a bachelors in MLS will have far more experience than someone with a biology degree is that right?

I'd greatly appreciate any help/advice, have a great day!

I'm looking for reviews on graduating from TCD with a masters in data science. How good is the job industry there? Is it worth studying and looking for jobs there?

I'll be under student debt to afford the fees, what are the prospects after graduation?

Thank you everyone for your answers and advice!

Currently doing a masters degree in political science at a Korean university and am fantasizing about achieving some work-life balance, learning a new language, and/or seeing some beautiful buildings for a bit after graduation. I have read a bit about Americans who found work in Europe, but usually their skill set was different from mine and not so regionally specific (I have focused on Asia for the past 6 years or so but kind of want to broaden my horizons). I'm willing to (and in fact would love to) learn a European language if necessary before going. I just don't know if someone with my skill set would be able to find much more than bar work since I'm not an EU citizen or fluent in a European language other than English. Is it possible? Have you done it before? And was it worth it? Thanks~

Mr. Gahn is an Assistant District Attorney and has been with the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office since July of 1984. He received his JD from Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee. He has a B.S. in Psychology from St. Louis University and a Master of Forensic Sciences Degree from George Washington University

Wow. You would think a guy with a Master of Forensic Sciences Degree would know that the bones found at a murder crime scene may be important. Actually, he did know it in 2007 but forgot in 2019. Maybe Andy Colburn's selective amnesia is contagious.

Quote from Norn Gahn in Court on FEBRUARY 2, 2007:

>The very integrity of the judicial system and public confidence in the system depend on full disclosure of all the facts within the framework of the rules of evidence to ensure that justice is done. It is imperative to the function of courts that compulsory process be available for the production of evidence needed by either the prosecution or by the defense. And that's in United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S., 683, 1974 decision. And a few years later, in United States v. Robinson, at 485 U.S. 25, 1988, the Supreme Court stated, The central purpose of a criminal trial is to decide the factual question of the defendant's guilt or innocence. To this end, it is important that both the defendant and the prosecutor have the opportunity to meet, fairly, the evidence and arguments of one another.

Fast forward to 2019:

>As addressed below, the State preserved some bone fragments clearly identified as the remains of Teresa Halbach or that could be identified as being female, human bone. And the State made reasonable efforts to determine the identity, hence importance, of the bone fragments in #8675 when it sent the items to the FBI. The FBI could not test the items. When these items were inexplicably released to the family their origin remained scientifically undetermined. Under these circumstance there is no bad faith.

I had just completed the 6th class this semester and I still have 1.5 months to go and as there is not much time left to add another class so I plan on simply studying for my CCNP Sec (got 2 more exams to pass). I'm hoping to be done with entire degree by December, can't wait.

Here are some thoughts and suggestions (if you are interested)

*I take lots of notes using Quizlet (you can find many of my notecards on quizlet.com)- that helps me to reinforce the concepts.

*When it comes to CEH, that was 3 weeks of work, however CHFI took me the longest (1.5 months) with one failed attempt. For the CEH and CHFI, I had used the Udemy courses/quizes with their study guides - this especially helped with CHFI.

*C725 had only objective exam and I was done with the class in 2 weeks (just read the book and did the practice tests)

*C700 I just took the test and did the project (I am a network engineer so I didn't study at all, passed the test and did a network design paper (total less than 2 weeks)

*C726- Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering - 2 Papers, quite challenging but I was done with it in 16 days.

*C701 CEH- I have been studying for this test before I had enrolled with WGU, so I studied for about 3 week and passed the test at the first attempt. This was 70 questions exam that is a combination of Security Plus and Cisco CCNA cyberops (which I both did)

*C702- CHFI- I had originally bought the book off Amazon for version 8 (as it had 300 pages) and when I took the exam I had failed miserably. Then I studied the official guide (based on the quiz questions) and then I got the two Udemy courses (below) which enabled me to pass the exam.

https://www.udemy.com/computer-hacking-forensic-investigator-version-9-practice/ (this one has a study guide and questions - and this one is a must)

https://www.udemy.com/course/practice-tests-chfi-computer-hacking-forensic-investigator/ (another set of practice questions)

*C706 Secure Software Design- this class took me a solid 2 weeks of reading material, taking notes (see my quizlets) and simply doing a review questions (about 180 for all chapters plus about 180 for chapters 20/21 from CISSP). Those helped me tremendously as for each questions there was a substantial explanation.

I hope that this post will

Please excuse the dumb question.

When I google it, it comes up as MSEM. But then when you search MSEM, evidently that is masters in engineering management. Just curious what the "accepted" acronym is

I recently got admitted into the food sci master's program - expected to start Fall 2020. I had a few questions pertaining to the program and way of living in Zurich.

- What is the typical course load taken per semester? Is it possible to complete 90 ECTS in 3 semesters? How many courses can one juggle in a semester typically as I am coming from an educational system that limits to 15 credits/semester (around 5 courses)?

- Being that Food Science is considered as part of the department of health sciences and technology. Where are the optimal locations/areas to look for accommodation? preferably no long commutes.

- What are your experiences at ETH like? I'd love to hear from former or current students.

EDIT: I haven't taken any loans out yet and the program is just about to start. I would need to soon.

Background on myself: Undergrad at Berkeley in Applied Math + Econ. I can code in Python at an at least intermediate level but I haven't worked on real projects or have any internship experience. I have a solid foundation in statistics and can implement basic neural net architectures using keras. I've worked on all the exercise datasets such a MNIST, etc.

Why I won't to drop out: the tuition alone is $60k over 3 semesters. Rent in NY will be another roughly $20k in Harlem (to live in a 8x10 room). Paying off $85k seems really scary.

From a career perspective, or if I just want to optimize my expected earnings while staying close to jobs related to machine learning and big data (sorry to use buzzwords), is this a bad move to make?

I'd be willing to take on the loan if I knew that the opportunity cost is worth it, but I'm too naive and inexperienced about the industry to know whether this masters degree will pay enough dividends to be worth $60k tuition + living costs of NYC.

Hi All,

My friend had got an admit in UB and CUB, Can anyone throw some light on how good the Masters in CS program is?

Also in terms of faculty, research, tuition fee and reputation in the tech circle go which one do you think is the best?

Definitely looking for the one that is best in value for money. Any insight is appreciated

Just got my confirmation of acceptance.

Looking forward to this, really wondering how quickly I can push myself through.

Anyone else here starting same time?

Hi, so it’s about time I apply for universities and I wanted to ask how intensive the courses are there? As someone wanting to get into data science I’m a little confused on the core computing part of computer science because that ‘s not where I’m good at, still will I be able to push through it? I’ve done my bachelor’s in Computer Science but not much of data science courses were introduced. Thanks.

I've had interest in switching industries so I've done a little bit of research on the topic. Here are my takeaways

http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/explore-oms-cs

• Georgia Tech is top tier and highly respected by employers
• Coding bootcamps are not worth it when you consider this program exists. You will be overlooked for engineering manager positions if your CS background is from a bootcamp.
• Computer Science is in my opinion more difficult than civil engineering. It's very different than the physics based math we did. It's a challenge but it's doable.
• /r/OMSCS is a good subreddit on what the program looks like. They like STEM grads but not having programming knowledge is a red flag for them. I would recommend taking 2-3 computer science classes at your local community college before applying.
• Salaries are either the same or much better than civil's depending if your city is a tech city or not. Youll have to do some research to figure out if you live in a tech city like Austin, Nashville, Raleigh, SF, NYC, Seattle, Northern VA etc. I don't necessarily think it's worth it to get the masters in CS if you live in a small town. Even some large cities are not good tech cities, Miami for example is big but they don't have high quality tech jobs. Civil jobs are everywhere but good tech jobs are not everywhere

Are there any grad students or graduates out there that did the online MCS while having a new baby (and working full time)? Or who know enough to speak to the idea of doing them at the same time? I would love some honest advice.

I work full time and I’m due with our first child in early August. Professionally, I’m ready to start working toward a masters. So my plan has been to apply to the online MCS program and take it just one class at a time. I’m still feeling very nervous about whether that’s really doable with a new baby though! I plan to return to work full time after maternity leave.

We’re planning to have a second and third child relatively quickly over the next few years and we don’t have time to take a break from that due to my age, so things aren’t necessarily going to get “better” in the next few years.

I'm also applying to GT's OMSCS program and they published this article. I relate to a lot of what this student talks about but maybe it is just nice marketing...

Just wondering if anyone has done this program and what their thoughts were on it. I'm contemplating it for 2020 and would like to get some feedback if possible.

Question #1: What would be my first step? I haven't been in school for over 9 years and I'm completely lost. Question #2: Most likely I would like to take prerequisites would these classes have to be taken at a local college or the university I would like to attend?

Hello Everyone!

I'm currently planning on getting my MoS in Biostatistics and have a few questions if anyone would be so kind to answer. I am currently hoping to get into UT Austin, UC San Diego, or University of Arizona to get my Master's. I was a Bio major and have to take Linear Algebra at my local community college to fulfill requirements and was planning to take it in the Spring as I am working full time and am currently studying for the GRE as well. Does anyone have anyone recommendations on other programs as well as any suggestions on how to strengthen my application. I'm currently working as an Associate Scientist at a biopharmaceutical company and want to continue working in this field helping design studies.

Thank you!

Hello all, I am posting to spread news of a new type of data science degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Master of Science in Civic Analytics. The program was recently approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education and will begin accepting applications for Spring 2020 (with consultation), with a full launch in Fall 2020. Of particular interest to members of this subreddit is that we will teach the curriculum in R, which should make the student experience in the program easier.

The program is the first of its kind; it merges education in civic technology with data analytics into one curriculum. The degree provides preparation in principles of data science, including coding, statistics, data management, and geospatial methods, while also being anchored within public service, its problems, institutions, and ethics. It is intended to prepare students to assume positions as operational data scientists and leaders in city information offices, government agencies, nonprofits, as well as government services contractors and consulting firms. Courses are taught by our highly-ranked college faculty, as well as leading practitioners in Chicago's civic technology community.

I am happy to discuss the program, its curriculum, public data science, and Chicago's civic technology community.

I received my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science and am currently getting a master's in the chemical oceanography department of my university. It was paid for so I took it but am not passionate about the work anymore and now I'm trying to get into the world of terrestrial conservation.

I study riverine biogeochemistry so essentially I study changes to the global carbon cycle, specifically how permafrost and surrounding vegetation affect the chemistry of this one Arctic River.

I need to decide on what I want my diploma in. I don't need to do anything different between the two.

So to any conservation biologists, foresters, or restoration ecologists what sounds better or more hirable - M.S. Chemical Oceanography or M.S. Aquatic Environmental Science?

I am currently a special education teacher, got my bachelors in special-education. I am leaving the teaching field. I am applying to endicott, Simmons, Florida institute of tech, and Pepperdine. Any of those you would recommend? Or any other schools?

ALSOOO - I want to be a BCBA. Does it matter if I get a Masters of science versus a Masters of arts versus a masters in education? I don’t want to be a teacher, so I feel like I shouldn’t go through endicott to get their MED in applied behavioral analysis? Any insight on this

Since WG thrown it at me I decided to try it and I like to tamper with my singleplayer games.

I found the science/turn value as double but I couldn't edit it permanently. I looked for what accessed it and replaced it but that crashed the UI. I tryed to use pointers but I failed. Could someone help me with solving this?

Review both these books. which one is better and like a brief review of each one

As the title says, how is the program? if anyone has taken the program, how is your job search going?

I am studying in Informatik M.Sc. and here is my situation:

I have accumulated 81 credits up until now.
This semester I would accumulate 6 + 4 + 3 credits (a lecture, a seminar, an oral colloquium),
which would rack up my total to 94 credits.

With my master thesis on the way, this would make 124 credits in total.
My master document states I have to accumulate 120 credits.

Would this situation make a problem?
Is there anyone that graduated with some extra ECTS credits, especially from any master?

Thanks for the upcoming answers from now ^^

I am interested in pursuing the Masters of Data Science (MiDS) at University of Melbourne however I am not certain if I meet the entry requirements.

Let me give you some background about myself. I have an undergraduate degree in Economics (GPA of 3.34 of 4) from a Tier I university in India. Post that I have completed a six month certification program in analytics again based in India. I have worked (and am still working) as a Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer for more than two years.

I have worked on R and Python for Machine Learning and Deep Learning (including Tensorflow and Keras).

My question to the community is thus: seeing how I cannot meet the entry requirements for Masters in Data Science, do you think I should apply for the Graduate Diploma in Data Science and then switch over to the Masters in Data Science? And how easy or how difficult would it be for me (keeping my background in mind) to score 65%+ to allow me to continue with the MiDS?

I'd appreciate any help from past or present students. Or future students as well. Also do let me know if you'd like any more information about my background.

Hi does anybody know how long this course will take you to graduate assuming that you have no fails in your subjects? Also, may I know some of your thoughts and opinions on being a student in SOE?

Im currently on track on getting a BS in Biology. I met with my advisor and she mentioned that schools would be looking for a BS in Chemistry. Right now I'm in my second year of school so I could have time to change.

I would want to go to school in Florida and I was wondering if anyone had a relevant experience that can provide information.

I've searched online but the stuff I found was limited. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post, I figured I can get some info here. Thank you !
