Momwe ndimadutsa Online Master of Science mu Computer Science, ndi ndani amene sangakhale woyenera

Ndinamaliza chaka changa choyamba mu pulogalamu ya Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMCSS) ku Georgia Institute of Technology (maphunziro atatu mwa 3). Ndinkafuna kugawana nawo mfundo zapakatikati.

Simuyenera kupita kumeneko ngati:

1. Ndikufuna kuphunzira kupanga pulogalamu

Pakumvetsetsa kwanga, m'dawunilodi wopanga mapulogalamu abwino amafunikira:

• Dziwani kapangidwe ka chilankhulo china, malaibulale okhazikika, ndi zina zotero;
• Kukhala wokhoza kulemba code reusable ndi extensible;
• Kutha kuwerenga ma code ndi kulemba ma code owerengeka;
• Kutha kuyesa ma code ndikukonza zolakwika;
• Dziwani zoyambira za data ndi ma aligorivimu.

Pali mabuku pamutuwu, maphunziro a MOOC, ntchito yanthawi zonse mu gulu labwino. Maphunziro apaokha pa MSCS atha kuthandiza ndi zina zomwe zili pamwambazi, koma zonse izi sizomwe pulogalamuyi ikunena. Kudziwa zilankhulo mwina ndikofunikira pamaphunzirowa, kapena akuganiza kuti mutha kuzidziwa mwachangu momwe zimafunikira. Mwachitsanzo, mu maphunziro a Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems, kunali koyenera kuchita mapulojekiti anayi okhala ndi mizere yokwana 4+ ya C code, kuphatikizapo mapepala asayansi pafupifupi 5000 amayenera kuwerengedwa. Mu Artificial Intelligence course, kuwonjezera pa ntchito zisanu ndi imodzi zovuta, kunali koyenera kuti tidutse mayeso awiri ovuta kwambiri - mkati mwa sabata imodzi, kuthetsa 10 ndi 30 masamba a mavuto ovuta.

Nthawi zambiri palibe zofunikira pa code "yabwino" powerenga. Nthawi zambiri kalasiyo imakhazikitsidwa yokha kutengera ma autotest, nthawi zambiri pamakhala zofunikira zogwirira ntchito, ndipo ma code ndi zolemba zimafufuzidwa ngati zachinyengo.

2. Cholinga chachikulu ndicho kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso chatsopano pamalo omwe alipo

Maphunziro ena angapereke zida. Koma funso ndiloti mutani ndi matani ena a ntchito ndi zipangizo, zomwe zidzatenge nthawi yanu yonse yaulere kwa zaka zingapo. Zikuwoneka kwa ine kuti zochitika za MSCS zimagwirizana bwino ndi nkhani iyi:

Wasayansi komanso wotchuka wa sayansi adafunsidwa za zolinga ndi zotsatira za kafukufuku wina:

Wotchuka:
- Zotsatira za phunziroli zinathandiza kuyesa malingaliro ... Ndipo adathandizira kwambiri pa chitukuko ...

Wasayansi:
- Inde, izi ndizabwino kwambiri!

Ndikukhulupirira kuti mutha kudutsa pulogalamu yonse popanda kutaya pokhapokha ngati pazifukwa zina zonse zili zosangalatsa komanso zosangalatsa. Koma zonsezi sizikutsutsa mfundo yakuti olemba ntchito akuyang'ana maphunziro otere (makamaka ku States, koma sindikuganiza kuti). Nditawonjezera zambiri pa LinkedIn zomwe ndikuphunzira kumeneko, ndinayamba kulandira zopempha kuchokera kwa olemba ntchito makampani abwino ochokera ku Ulaya ndi ku States. Mwa anthu omwe ndimawadziwa ku Toronto, anthu angapo adapititsa patsogolo ntchito zawo kapena adapeza ntchito zatsopano pamaphunziro awo.

Kuphatikiza pa akatswiri, MSCS imatsegula mwayi wina. Mutha kutenga nawo mbali pamafukufuku osangalatsa mkati mwa Georgia Tech ngati mutamaliza maphunziro ofunikira. Wothandizira wamkulu wophunzitsa (TA) ku AI ndi mnyamata wa ku Russia yemwe, patatha chaka chimodzi akuphunzira ku OMSCS, adasamutsira ku campus ndikupita kukaphunzira ndi kuchita kafukufuku ku Atlanta. Momwe ndikudziwira, akufuna kupeza PhD.

3. Mukuyembekezera kumaliza pulogalamuyo payekhapayekha.

Conventionally, 50% ya phindu pulogalamu ndi mwayi kulankhulana. OMSCS ili ndi gulu lalikulu komanso lachangu. Kalasi iliyonse imagwiritsa ntchito gulu lalikulu la ma TA (nthawi zambiri ophunzira ochokera ku pulogalamu yomweyi omwe amamaliza bwino maphunziro apano). Pazifukwa zina, anthu onsewa amafuna kugwirira ntchito limodzi ndi kuphunzira limodzi. Zomwe kulumikizana kumapereka:

• Chisangalalo chodziwa kuti simukuvutika nokha;
• Odziwa atsopano ochokera padziko lonse lapansi ndi chitukuko cha luso lofewa;
• Mwayi wopeza chithandizo ndi kuphunzira chinachake;
• Mwayi wothandizira ndi kuphunzira chinachake;
• Akatswiri ochezera a pa Intaneti.

Ambiri mwa ophunzira ndi anthu omwe ali ndi chidziwitso pamakampani, nthawi zambiri amakhala atsogoleri a madipatimenti, omanga mapulani, ngakhale ma CTO. Pafupifupi 25% alibe maphunziro a CS, i.e. anthu omwe ali ndi zokumana nazo zosiyanasiyana. Kumayambiriro kwa pulogalamuyo, ndinali ndi zaka 5 zachitukuko cha Java ku Yandex.Money, ndipo tsopano ndimagwira ntchito yanthawi yochepa monga wofufuza poyambira zachipatala (kuphunzira mozama mu mano).

Ophunzira ambiri ali olimbikitsidwa komanso omasuka kulankhulana. Mutha kudutsa pulogalamuyo nokha, koma chifukwa chake, mumagulitsa zaka 2.5-3 za nthawi yanu (ngati mutaganizira za ntchito) ndikupeza 50% yokha ya phindu lomwe mungapindule. Kwa ine, mfundo iyi ndiye vuto lalikulu, chifukwa ... pali kudzikayikira komanso cholepheretsa chinenero, koma ndimayesetsa kuchitapo kanthu. Nthawi zonse timakumana ndi anzathu omwe amakhala ku Toronto. Onsewa ndi anyamata okangalika komanso osangalatsa komanso akatswiri apamwamba, m'modzi wa iwo adakonza msonkhano ndi Zvi Galil, "bambo" wa pulogalamu ya OMSCS, wamkulu wa Faculty of Computing Georgia Tech, yemwe adasiya udindo wake chaka chino.

Chitsanzo chokhudza chilimbikitso: pali wophunzira wina wodziwika yemwe adaphatikiza kumaliza pulogalamuyo ndikutumikira usilikali. Adalumikizana ndibwaloli akuwuluka, ndipo adachita ma projekiti ndikumvetsera zokambidwa pomwe akuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi. Panopa amagwira ntchito ku bungwe lofufuza kafukufuku ku Georgia Tech ndipo akufuna kuchita PhD.

4. Kusafuna kuchita zinthu mozama pa nthawi yake

Poyang'ana koyamba, OMSCS ikhoza kuwoneka ngati yofanana ndi maphunziro a MOOC kapena ukadaulo pa Coursera kapena nsanja yofananira. Ndinatenga maphunziro angapo pa Coursera, mwachitsanzo, magawo oyambirira a Cryptography ndi Algorithms kuchokera ku Stanford. Kuphatikiza apo, ndinatenga kosi imodzi yolipidwa pa intaneti ya Graduate ku Stanford (ophunzira a MS ndi PhD amatenga) ndikumvetsera maphunziro ochokera ku Stanford CS231n (Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition) kwaulere.

Kutengera zomwe ndakumana nazo, kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa maphunziro omaliza maphunziro a pa intaneti ndi maphunziro aulere a MOOC ndi awa:

• Zatchulidwa kale kukhudzidwa kwakukulu ndi kulimbikitsidwa kwa TA, alangizi, ophunzira ena, kudzipereka kwakukulu (palibe amene akufuna kumvetsera pulogalamuyi kwamuyaya, makamaka popeza pali malire a zaka 6);
• Nthawi yokhazikika: pankhani ya Georgia Tech, maphunziro onse amapezeka nthawi imodzi (mutha kuwamvera panthawi yoyenera). Mutha kuwerenga bukuli pasadakhale (anthu ambiri amachita izi pakati pa semesters). Koma pali ma projekiti, ndipo ali ndi nthawi yomaliza, nthawi zambiri ma projekiti amamangiriridwa ku maphunziro apadera. Pali masiku omalizira a mayeso (nthawi zambiri awiri pa semesita iliyonse). Ndikoyenera kusunga mayendedwe. Nthawi yochuluka pa sabata yomwe mukufunikira zimatengera maphunziro ndi zochitika. Sindimayembekezera <10 maola pa sabata pa kalasi. Pafupifupi zimanditengera 20 (nthawi zina zochepa kwambiri, nthawi zina zimatha kukhala 30 kapena 40);
• Ma projekiti ndi ovuta komanso osangalatsa kuposa ma MOOCs, ndi dongosolo la kukula kwake;
• Mayunivesite ndi omwe angakhale olemba ntchito akuyang'ana kwambiri maphunzirowa. Makamaka, potumiza mafomu, Georgia Tech imafunsa kuti: "OSATI KUTENGA TSOPANO zopanda grade, zosaphunzira za MOOC-mtundu wa maphunziro."

5. Ndikufuna kuti zonse zikhale zomveka, zachidule komanso zomveka

Choyamba, MSCS si digiri ya bachelor. Pali maphunziro, koma amapereka lingaliro lodziwika bwino la mutuwo. Kuphatikiza kapena kuchotsera, mapulojekiti onse amaphatikiza kafukufuku wamunthu payekha. Zitha kuphatikiza kulumikizana ndi ophunzira anzawo ndi ma TA (onani mfundo 3), kuwerenga mabuku, zolemba, ndi zina.

Kachiwiri, OMSCS ndi nyumba yayikulu komanso yamphamvu yokhala ndi gulu la anthu okonda kupanga ndi kusamalira maphunziro (onani mfundo 2). Anthu awa amakonda kuyesa ndi zovuta. Amasintha ma projekiti, amayesa mafunso pamayeso ndi mayeso, amasintha malo oyeserera, ndi zina. Zotsatira zake, izi zimabweretsa zotsatira zosayembekezereka. Muzochitika zanga:

• Munjira imodzi, china chake chidalakwika mutatha kukonza ma seva ndipo ma seva awa adasiya kutulutsa zotsatira zokhazikika zoyeserera. Anthu adachitapo kanthu powonjezera kumwetulira ndi cholakwika cha seva mukuchita mochedwa komanso kuyesa kwausiku kuti akwaniritse zomwe atumiza;
• Maphunziro ena adatulutsa mayeso ndi mayeso okhala ndi mayankho olakwika kapena otsutsana. Kutengera ndi zokambirana ndi ophunzira, zolakwika izi zidakonzedwa pamodzi ndi magiredi. Ena anachita modekha, ena anakwiya ndi kutukwana. Zosintha zonse zinali zowonjezera kwa ine ndipo zinali zokondweretsa mwanjira yakeyake (simumachita kalikonse, koma mphambu yanu imakula).

Zonsezi, ndithudi, zimawonjezera kupsinjika pang'ono kumtunda wotsetsereka kale, koma zinthu zonsezi zimagwirizana bwino ndi zenizeni za moyo: zimakuphunzitsani kufufuza vuto, kuthetsa mavuto muzochitika zosatsimikizika, ndikumanga zokambirana ndi anthu ena.

OMSCS ku Georgia Tech ili ndi zake zake:

• Georgia Tech ndi imodzi mwamayunivesite apamwamba kwambiri ku United States;
• Mmodzi mwa akale kwambiri pa intaneti MSCS;
• Mwina yaikulu pa Intaneti MSCS: ~ 9 zikwi ophunzira mu 6 zaka;
• Imodzi mwa MSCS yotsika mtengo kwambiri: pafupifupi madola 8 zikwi pa maphunziro onse;
• Pali anthu 400-600 omwe amaphunzira m'makalasi panthawi imodzi (nthawi zambiri zochepa pofika kumapeto; pakati pa semester mukhoza kuchoka ndi kalasi ya W, zomwe sizimakhudza GPA yanu);
• Sikuti makalasi onse a pa-campus akupezeka pa intaneti (koma mndandanda ukukula ndipo pali kale chisankho chabwino kwambiri; palibe kuphunzira mozama, koma sititaya chiyembekezo);
• Sikophweka kulowa m'kalasi iliyonse chifukwa cha mizere yofunika kwambiri komanso chiwerengero chachikulu cha ofunsira (Graduate Algorithms, modabwitsa, pafupifupi aliyense amadutsa kumapeto);
• Sikuti magulu onse ali ofanana mumtundu wa zida ndi ntchito za TA ndi maprofesa, koma pali makalasi ambiri abwino. Pali zambiri pa intaneti za maphunziro apadera (ndemanga, reddit, slack). Mutha kusankha nthawi zonse kuti zigwirizane ndi kukoma kwanu.

Poganizira zachindunji, ndi chilimbikitso chabwino, malo ogwira ntchito komanso malingaliro abwino, iyi ndi njira yosangalatsa komanso yowona kwambiri. Ndikuyembekeza kuti m'chaka maganizo anga sadzasintha kwambiri, komanso kuti chidziwitsochi chidzakhala chothandiza kwa wina.
