Cs Definition and 201 Threads

Hi, I am currently studying CS, but I am too afraid to not pass my exams, so to relieve myself, I need to have a plan B to keep in mind so that I can be a little bit more relaxed. My question and Plan B would be: Is it possible to do a Political Science degree (120 Major) with a (60 Minor) in...

I think that's it. I'm glad I can be part of this forum.

I'm Marty and want to get into physics and research. I'm currently at the time of writing a software engineer after finishing my bachelor's in CS June 2022. Currently reading the Feynman Lectures and doing mathematics in my spare time to get prepared.

So recently what I've been seeing especially on reddit was that people have been praising CS over other IT degrees. Why is that a trend? Is it because other IT degrees are seen as "obsolete"?

I have reached a place where I can no more learn new concepts. I feel totally stuck.How do I deal with learning plateau? How do I overcome this plateau. Few things that come in my mind-: 1) Follow a good course from a good teacher. 2) Read it aloud. 3) Practice the same thing multiple things...
