For what it’s worth, I typed every word of my comment above by hand. You’re welcome to see every post that uses sentence fragments, parallel structure, and not-X as a sign of AI, rather than a style learned by a human from decades of personal essay writing and forum discussions. I think that’s a limiting way to see the world.
Please provide some, any, evidence or reasoning for your accusations.
Otherwise it’s just lazy. I know shallow dismissals is kind of HN’s thing, but come on, a little effort please. Currently, your comment is just as much slop
Things are different than the mid 90s. There are plenty of schools teaching computer science well. I think a school has a responsibility to its current/incoming students to give a quality education, and the UC system does that at a greater scale than any other top universities.
I graduated this past May, and let me tell you that TAs are struggling, pulling 40-60 hour weeks of pure TA work plus whatever classes they need to be taking to handle the sheer scale of these CS classes (800-2000 students). 15% of the undergraduate population (32,000 students) is graduating CS or EECS. You can't just keep scaling up class sizes and undergraduate populations forever, and the fact that Cal is getting this criticism for doing it at a level far above any other top CS university is surprising honestly.
