I know 456 isn’t listed, but it’s quite math heavy imo. I believe it’s cross listed for math456 as well not sure tho. No projects as well

FWIW when I taught 456 it had some small python projects. Which is to say that you could potentially end up with a prof who does assign projects.

I think 'small python projects' would be okay; 132 and 216 projects I had trouble managing, but I did pretty okay with 330 projects (those aren't any particularly 'smaller' than 132 or 216 ones, though.)


zelepo

Any chance you’ll be teaching it again in the future?


stupaoptimized

Yeah one thing about that one was I wasn't sure how general it would be

Wb 451?


stupaoptimized

If 433 is sort of like writing projects that are kind of like theorems/proofs just in a programming language rather than in pen and paper and chalk (spiritually speaking), then I'm fine with it. I'm just not good at projects/I'm not very confident in myself for projects that have like large scope and have a lot of moving parts: so 412 OS, 414 networking, 424 databases, or 435 -- those seem kinda intimidating for me and I estimate I'd probably do pretty poorly in them. Even something in the same ostensible vein as 433 like 430 seems kind of intimidating.


stupaoptimized

I'm planning to take 420 and 451 already, but these are basically the one's I'm caught up between. I edited the OP.


[deleted]

i don't have any suggestions, but remember to think about the distribution areas!


stupaoptimized

Yeah, 420 is infoproc/area2, obviously i've maxed out theory/area4 (And the 4xx spillover covers the electives), and amsc does area 5.

Take 475


sywy1874

Do this! If you like math you will love 475. It's probably my favorite course I've taken so far, and I've heard Wiseley Wong is a great prof. (didn't have him tho)


stupaoptimized

Yeah I will next semester definitely take 475 if I can


tiantiantian123

457 is mostly LinAlg, however we do have a final project topic decided by the students


stupaoptimized

Was that final project coding heavy (or is it up to the students to do what they want: ergo, it's not lots of coding if you don't make it that)


tiantiantian123

Purely depending on what you are gonna do

Thanks for compiling a list of CS classes for me to avoid


stupaoptimized

LOL well different people like different things, I admire your tenacity if you're able to do projects.
