About Me

Take English course, I should not

If you look at: http://geeks.netindonesia.net/blogs/norman/archive/2007/08/30/Computer-Science-vs-Information-Technology-_2800_Information-Systems_2900_.aspx

You might be surprised that in Semester I, students of Comp Sci IPB has to take English Course. Apparently, this is IPB policy to ensure that all their graduates are well versed in English. So, this is not for Comp Sci only, but for all students in all majors.

But should one take the whole one long semester English class? Not really. IPB allows you not to take the English class if your TOEFL score is above 450 (for S2/Master) and 475 (for S3/Doctor).

So, I took the test and scored 583. Not as high as I expected, but it helps me not to take English course.

Yay! Only 3 Subjects this semester:

  • Mathematics and Statistics for Computing
  • Algorithm Analysis and Design
  • System Analysis and Design

Let's get really geeky. Nerdy is the new cool!
