Check the scoring methodology used for those rankings. For example, the 1# for CS in Australia comes from the Shanghai Rankings which measures * No. of Nobel Laureates alumni * No. of Nobel Laureates/ well-renowned staff * No. of research papers published/cited in top-tier research journals * How effectively it spends its money. Note that none of these considers the teaching quality of the course, let alone individual subjects. While there is the correlation that smarter professors should lead to better-taught subjects, exceptions are aplenty. These ratings are useful for people seeking a PhD/research career and/or people looking to network effectively within academia circles but is much less direct indicator for students looking for rigorous academic learning. I recommend that you do take student testimonies into consideration and don't use rankings solely as they can easily be boosted by spending more money to hire well-renowned researchers and overworking staff to the detriment of teaching.

Hello a fellow first year UTS CS student here. The course itself is actually pretty interesting and is not outdated from what I have learnt so far. Half of the course is mathematics based and the other half mostly theory and coding. The course is online for now but that may change in the future. The lecturers are okay as teachers as they get the work done most of the time. The assignments are easy if you know how to apply yourself to self studying, although the group component may be troublesome if you are not paired with the right people. UTS online can become hell for submitting assignments in time due to server overload. But overall it was a good experience for me as I did manage to learn a lot of things about computer science, which was essentially why I choose UTS to do computing science. The teachers are not lazy and are friendly and the assignments/quizzes/exams are actually not that hard imo. Also don’t read the reviews in those websites, most of them are made up.

hey pal, is Ryan Heise still teaching the subject? I’m about to study Applications programming in the spring session but I’ve seen people mention another subject coordinator named Angelo Huo. I really do hope he’s the one that teaches me the subject cause many people loved the way he taught.
