Laptop: meet the EEMCS hardware requirements. TU Delft recommends Windows; a MacBook works, with friction on Assembly (Computer Organisation) and on rendering (Computer Graphics). An iPad + Apple Pencil is genuinely useful — GoodNotes for notes and for building cheat sheets.
How to use this well
CS is practice-dependent — you learn by doing, and past exams are the highest-leverage practice there is. That's why this archive is built around them.
- Finish coursework a week or two early; use the gap for past papers, not first exposure.
- Each quarter is 10 weeks: 4 weeks of teaching, a midterm week, 4 more weeks, then endterms. The rhythm is relentless and does not wait for you.
- 180 EC to graduate. Most courses are 5 EC; the Software Project and Research Project are 15 EC each.
- For cheat-sheet courses, a digitally-handwritten sheet is faster to build and iterate than pen and paper — check your course's rule first, some specify handwritten-on-paper.
- Study somewhere public (library, Echo). Focus is easier when other people are visibly working.
Passive learning, for time you can't spend at a desk:
- CS/SE College Courses Review — an overview of the whole degree; best before you start
- Programming Throwdown — general CS, any time
- Sololearn — practice on mobile
