To what degree does learning computer science require memorisation?I know this depends on subjects and maybe things are different in each college but could someone put an example, e.g. In Xxx class, I had to answer this question or accomplished this task. I was/wasn't allowed to use books or notes.I'm planning to enrol in a German college.
What do CS students face in their school exams?
books
Many computer science courses are project based, which means that they may not involve an exam at all or the exam will be worth only a small fraction of the final grade. Exam questions that are purely about memorisation are not particularly good. You may encounter them in early years, but if you understand the material, the facts you are asked to memorise will be second nature to you.
