Express advising begins at 7:30pm via zoom on Mondays, Tuesday, and Wednesdays. No appointment is needed. Simply log onto zoom a few minutes before 7:30pm and save a place in the queue. All students who enter the zoom session will be helped. When there are no more students in the session the, the session will be closed.
If you discover that you have a "hold" on your portal, then do the following. Copy the list of 7 questions given below to an editor. Insert your answer below each question. Then electronically copy the questions and their answers to a new email message and send all of it to me at holliday@fullerton.edu. Don't send a file attachment simply to remove a hold.
The seven questions:
What is your name?
What is your cwid?
What is your catalog year?
When do you expect to graduate (year and semester)?
Why did you decide to become a computer science major?
What is your preferred area within Computer Science?
When will you seek an internship? Before graduation, After Graduation, Never?
If you are seeking a second opinion about some aspect of the CS major, then place your concerns in a separate email message and send me that message at the same address, namely: holliday@fullerton.edu.
If you want to ask me question directly with no electronic record kept, then log onto my zoom 841 642 3131 a few minutes before 7:30pm on any of the three days Mon, Tue, or Wed. The session will close when 10 minutes pass with no student in the zoom session. Thus the best strategy is to arrive between 7:25pm and 7:30pm on one of those three days.
I often receive this question: "I want to graduate with a BS degree in Computer Science and with an emphasis in AI. What should I do?". The answer is make your own AI concentration by taking and completing all of the following courses.
481 AI (already a required course)
483 Machine Learning
254 Applied AI
375 Data Science
476 Edge AI
488 Natural language AI (Natural language refers to human language not machine language.)
At the present time AI and Computer Security receive all the glamorous attention. The position of Software Engineer is still viable in the job market today. Consider making your own concentration in Software Engineering by simply completing all the software engineering courses. Here is the list.
362 Software Engineering (already a required course)
462 Software Design
463 Software Testing
464 Software Architecture
466 Software Process
