Hyrum Bailey

Major – Computer Engineering

Two of my favorite projects in CS 3500 are when we made a spreadsheet and a game. The game brought up a lot of little problems that I didn’t imagine would come up and it was awesome putting it all together.

I especially enjoyed 1400 and 1410. They were my first programming classes and I had great teachers in both of them. I love coding in general because it gives you the satisfaction of solving a problem.

Ethan Emoto

Major – Computer Science

My name is Ethan and the areas of CS that I’m most interested in are artificial intelligence and computer graphics.

Outside of CS, I play the trumpet in marching band and pep band. I also enjoy playing video games and folding origami.

My favorite courses to tutor so far are CS 2420 and CS 2100. Since those are the most common two that I’ve helped students with, you will be in good hands.

Wyatt Light

Major – Computer Science

Like some of you, computer science was very difficult for me during my first few semesters; I had not seen a line of code before coming to Utah, which was a large contributor in my denial into the major after my first attempt at CS2420. But, as I struggled and grew as a programmer, I started to realize the difference between coding and computer science. Computer Science isn’t about coding. It’s about writing good code — utilizing the computer to write good code, to write efficient, concise, elegant code that accurately solves problems in the optimal way.

If you can’t tell, my favorite topics include efficiency and optimization, algorithms and data structures. So, CS 2420 is my favorite CS class here at the U – or at least my most nostalgic – as it is the place where you’re first introduced to the topics I just mentioned, and more importantly, why they matter so much.

I play forward for the university ice hockey team, so I know all about balancing a busy schedule. There isn’t really much to me besides CS and hockey! I’m from Manhattan Beach, CA, which is with all respect much better than Salt Lake City, UT.

My favorite video games are Battlefield and FIFA, but competitive FIFA sort of took it all out of me last year so I haven’t played in a bit. I like to watch the NHL and European Football; my favorite player is Neymar, but if you ever want to discuss who the goat is we can have a long chat on why it’s Messi.
