nah never got around to it
I had to write a program to implement the safer-sk64 encryption though.
Best part was when the professor posted his output of the cipher text and it matched 0% of the entire class, lol
dude done farked up
That's why in some cases, going for a 4 year degree is not worth the money and time. Still it also depends on what field you going into. For like medical field you really have to, but for IT, you can learn most of the stuff on your own if you have the direction.
Also, most professors don't even know wtf they are talking about...They will spend the entire semester just teaching you the basics, and the whole material is about 3-4 weeks worth if you can just learn on your own.
In current job market, recruiters don't really care what degree you have, but rather what you have done. A highschool friend of mine is a good example, he graduated with a 3.1 GPA in electronic engineering and now he's getting paid about 200k working as iOS interface developer for Google. And the programming language he uses is Objective-C, which he learnt not from school, but from the previous company he worked for. (Oh and networking helps too)
Like seriously, getting a degree is a huge waste of time and money for a lot of the field, especially IT. Best way is just learn on your own and go make some kick ass projects or get certifications, those speak much more than a simple degree
