Is the failure rate of computer major high?
The failure rate of computer major should be the highest in the whole school. The failure rate of other majors is generally 20% to 30%, and the computer major is generally around 50%. By sophomore year, the failure rate will even reach 70%. Why is the failure rate so high? Because some exams for computer majors are unified exams. Generally, the final college exams are written by our school teachers, who read the papers. The unified examination is written by teachers from other schools, and the teachers from other schools mark the papers. So, you can score as many points as you want, and 59 points is 59 points. The marking teacher won't let you pass because you are one point short.
Students who are not good at math should never choose computer major. Mathematics is the foundation of computer specialty. If you can't even learn high school mathematics well, then the computer major is basically not in the same class as you.
Is the computer major easy to learn?
There are three reasons for the great pressure of studying computer science. One is that the amount of computer-related knowledge is relatively large and it is difficult to learn. The other is that learning computer requires a lot of experiments and has certain requirements for the experimental environment. The third is that the iterative speed of computer knowledge is relatively fast, so we should keep up with the development trend of technology.
At present, the number of computer-related majors is increasing with the development of technology. In recent years, many colleges and universities have also set up emerging majors such as big data, artificial intelligence and cyberspace security. Compared with traditional computer science and technology, software engineering and other majors, these emerging majors not only have wider knowledge, but also have higher learning difficulties. Therefore, students who choose these majors must be fully prepared.
