Computer Science Course Overwhelms Kenyan Student After Two Weeks: "Wueh”

• A young lady pursuing a computer science course at the university wondered why she chose the course
• The student posted a video, seemingly perplexed by the course, just two weeks after studies commence
• Kenyans reacted by recounting dropping the course, while others encouraged her to keep going

A Kenyan student is the talk on social media after revealing that she was overwhelmed by her computer science course.

Is Computer Science hard?

Candidly opening up just two weeks after studies commenced, the student, Christine Keni, said the course was proving difficult.

Keni expressed regret, telling her TikTok followers that she could not identify precisely what convinced her to take the course.

"Guys, I don't know what convinced me to take computer science, but wueh! Wueh," said Keni.

The post drew interest from current and former computer science students, who urged her to reconsider withdrawing from the course.

Sejaa:

"Don't worry; you will make it through."

“You have not started doing data structures and algorithms, object-oriented programming, etc., but don't drop out. We are making money here, even without a corporate job."

Alicia:

"I think computer science is a good course. My bro did that course and has a KSh 100k job while still in school.”

Lojore:

"I saw this immediately after applying for this course. Mayoooo."

Rose Wanjiru:

“I dropped it in my second year and did nursing. No regrets."

LocalGeek:

"I almost dropped out due to the artificial intelligence and machine learning unit in 4th year. Five years later I'm grateful."

Mutuanicholas7:

"I just heard 2 'wuehs' so you still have to top up 998 more to catch up with the 'wueh' speed."

Why did student kneel before lecturer?

Mid-this month, an engineering student warmed hearts by kneeling before her lecturer to express gratitude for encouraging her not to drop out.

A video immortalising the moment showed the young woman thanking the lecturer for convincing her to stay in school when she was on the brink of giving up.

The lecturer encouraged her to make the most of her Engineering degree, highlighting the many opportunities it would bring.
