Nice to see another Eph on HN :)
I believe my year (2003) was the biggest CS class ever. Somewhere around 25-30; I forget the exact number.. I know it dipped in the couple years after that quite a bit, but not sure if it's picked up again.
- heliostatic 14y agoHa! You are dwarfed by the mighty Physics/Astro contingent. Except on HN, where you seem to outnumber us 2:1. edit: now 3:1
- arjunnarayan 14y ago2010 (my year) was about 7-10 I believe. And about half of those were double majors. Edit: 13 majors, of which at least 10 were double majors (including me and Dave below). Edit 2: Good grief. The whole lot on HN. Do any of us Ephs get any work done?
- davmre 14y agoWe actually had 13 CS majors in 2010: http://www.cs.williams.edu/people/alumni-directory/ http://www.cs.williams.edu/people/alumni-directory/. That went up to 20 majors in the class of 2011, so the gradient is positive!
- svmegatron 14y agoOh hi, class of 2001 here, Ephs represent! & get off my lawn etc etc etc.
- andyjsong 14y agoDoes Williams have an active ACM/CS club on campus?
- mynameishere 14y agoHow can they possibly have a whole department with so few students? Is it just math professors doubling up by teaching CS?
- davmre 14y agoIt's a real department with seven profs. Lots of non-majors take CS classes, but even so, class sizes are relatively small (usually in the 10 to 30 range). That's really one of the major selling points for the LAC model of education.
- dewitt 14y agoThat is a lot of Ephs on HN! I've created a new Google+ community for current students, alumni, and faculty of the Williams College CS program: https://plus.google.com/communities/103167291529744829090 https://plus.google.com/communities/103167291529744829090 Please ask for an invite if that's you.
