Schools Stuck in a Programming Rut: What Should I Do?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student's dilemma regarding mandatory computer programming courses for the semester, expressing a lack of interest and contemplating whether to take the semester off or proceed with the courses. The consensus suggests that continuing with the classes is the more practical choice, as it is common for students to encounter subjects they dislike.

Hello , I'm in a very sticky situation this semester I have to take computer programming courses and much to my dismay I have no interest at all, there are only 2 options that I can take : take the semester off or continue and "hope" to get a decent mark?
What do you think I should do, the only thing is that Ill be put back a semester as of fall.
Thank you

I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%.
