bodyText="The favourite programming language award for the class of 2022 goes to ….PYTHON! No surprise here, it reads the most like English. C++ is a very notable language as a part of the CS program; thus, its no surprise it comes in second. Once again, its sad to see that the graduating class of 2022 has losts its passion in being fellow Racket enjoyers. Hopefully, post grads are able to rekindle their love for using Racket."

No wonder this course is so well liked! Next up, we have CS343 and CS486 both tying up in 2nd place. CS343 teaches concurrent parallel programming while CS486 delves into the realm of Artificial Intelligence. Both are very interesting courses, exploring different niche aspects of Computer Science!"

heading="Which CS course was your least favourite?"
bodyText="CS245, Logic and Computation, was the least favourite CS course students took. It can probably be explained by its difficulty, the theoretical focus of the course, the content being less applicable outside of class plus it being a core CS course. Honourable mention to CS348 (Intro to DB management), which, according to UWFlow, is a 'horribly' organized course with outdated content (RIP)."

This is a no-brainer as Leetcode practice is crucial for passing the interview process! :) Meanwhile, CS246 (Object-Oriented Software Development) is rated 2nd. This can be correlated with students ranking it first as the most favourite CS class!"
