I think I have gotten in way over my head...

I am taking a computer science class as an elective, and because I think it would be a good thing to learn (especially since I am going into library science, and that is more web based than ever).

Anyway-the class I am taking focuses on python 3. The professor gave us a code today, told us to write it out, run the module and make it work. I'm not certain if I was just over thinking the whole thing, but in class 2 of a 16 week class, I'm a little nervous.

I have no idea what that means, but good luck! Is this the first computer science class you have taken?

I'm not sure what any part of your assignment even means.....good luck in there!

This reminds me of an accounting elective I took. It turned out to actually be an advanced computer science class. No mention of accounting was ever made even though I got accounting credit for it. My classmates were all seniors in computer science. My classmates and professor made all kinds of computer related jokes. I found a cute classmate to help me with everything. He was an Indian version of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. I might have had a crush on him....

Hang with it! It'll be worth it. I don't know python or I could try and help... are you running it on windows or linux?

windows. We are working in the mac lab, and I have honestly never used a mac, so I brought my laptop so I can learn in a practical environment.

And yes, this is the first computer science class I have taken. I'm working on a project at work, and it uses java code, so I was hoping to learn some basics that might transfer, but it looks like it's too different.

I'm excited to learn, but I just have to get over the "omg, I can't do this!!!" feeling.

Oh no!!

My professor has been making jokes about Big Bang Theory and Monty Python. I've never seen either. *-)

I took CS 101 during my 4th year of college. It's an intro class for CS majors - I was a history major. I thought for sure I was going to fail. It took me 10 times longer than anyone else to do the labs and 1/2 the time I didn't finish. At the end I suddenly got it and I got an A- in the class. I give my H a hard time still b/c I got a better grade than he did (he was a CS major).
