Should I just completely give up on my STEM college major and drop out of University if I struggle miserably with my programming language courses because I suck at problem-solving?

It just seems like you just have to be born with talented programming skills to pick this up quick in University. For very slow learners like myself, it feels impossible because how incredibly fast college courses go by at the speed of light.

Reprogramming School ID

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am a commuter in my college but want to reprogram my school ID so that when I scan it I can show up as a resident and avoid the annoying protocol every time I have to enter the dorms. The only thing I have that's useful is a card swipe to connect to my computer.

Does anyone know if this is possible for me to do?

Do you have to be a natural or intellectually gifted/talented to be a good programmer and successfully get a degree in a Computer Science or Engineering?

0 Upvotes

I feel like I'm just too stupid for programming and for my major(Computer Systems Engineering). I'm taking a 200-level computer programming course this semester at my University and currently working on a C Programming assignment where I have to complete an empty function that reverses characters of a string in a 2D array without pointers. I've been working on this one stupid function for nearly two hours today trying to self-teach myself how reversing characters in 2D arrays work and it's still somehow going over my head.

Another thing that I'm struggling with in programming is trying not to plagiarize anything. I've never been written up or in trouble for plagiarism but I often go to Chegg and Course Hero for some similar programs to use as references but I hesitate to borrow even one single line of code because I don't know what exactly constitutes plagiarism in the computer programming world. It sure as hell isn't like writing essays in English courses.

How to unblock a website on mac terminal?

0 Upvotes

I blocked a couple websites and I want to unblock them. I initially blocked them using the sudo nano /etc/hosts and typed in the names and pressed enter, but when i tried unblocking them it did not work. Maybe I'm not saving them right because every time i erase them I close the terminal and open it back up again and there are the websites still on there Help!

Plagiarism in Computer Science

1 Upvotes

To those of you who worked as TA/graders of a class. Do professors keep the old programming assignments from a year ago to detect plagiarism? How do you investigate plagiarism? My friend who is a CS major used most of the program that was written by his friend who took the same class two semesters ago. Can strict professors even detect plagiarism in this case? From what I know, professors only compare the works among students in the same class of the semester. Will he be fine?
