On: Tech backlash has come to Stanford

>> no compilers or os, no multivariable calculus, no pointers.

Stanford still requires cs students to take classes that cover the material above (except compilers which can be taken as a specialization)

[aliston → likhuva]

That’s just not true - they all became depth electives or not required at all.

OS is 140. Not required. Multi var calculus is math 51. Not required. As you note, compilers is not required. They also removed the EE hardware class in favor of a mishmash of core cs classes that are easier.

It depends on the track. HCI for instance doesn't require those, but other tracks do. CS isn't just about printing software engineers.
