<p>Nevermind it is at midnight lol.</p>
<p>Help me plan my schedule for Spring please?
(I’m a second year trying to decide between EE(CEoption) and CS&E. I’m hoping next quarter, I will finally sort out my love/hate relationship with computer science =|) </p>
<p>Which one should I take first CS M151B (Tamir) or CS 111 (Eggert)?
Other classes I’ll be taking along with it are Physics 4BL, Math 33A, and EE2. But I’m thinking I should forgo 4BL to make the schedule feasible. What do you think?</p>
<p>Quick question for anyone that can answer. I am kind of having a dilemna here. I am currently a first year EE major at UCLA and originally for my spring quarter I had planned to take cs31, physics1B, physics4AL, and Math32B. But the conflict is that cs31 and physics1B are conflicting. </p>
<p>Which one would be recommended to take over the summer ? CS31 or Physics1B ? </p>
<p>And second question, has anyone taken cs32 over the summer at a CSU or other UC ? If you have which one did you take it at and how was it ? </p>
<p>-Thanks in Advance</p>

<p>CS111 as a second year…you brave soul. My advice is: if you’re trying to sort out your love/hate relationship with CS, don’t take CS111 next quarter. IMO, it’s the hardest programming course you’ll have to take as a CS major (debatable with CS131). However, if that was your plan to test if you really like CS or not, then go ahead - But don’t take Physics4BL with it.</p>
<p>Have you taken all the lower-division CS classes (CS1, 31-33, 35L)? Oh and also, is there really any big difference between EE(CS) and CSE in terms of the CS classes you have to take…?</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughtful reply, MadeInChina!</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve taken all the lower div classes, of which I’m taking CS 35 this quarter:
-I really enjoyed CS 31 and CS 32.
-CS 33 was tough, but still left the impression that programming is fun.
-Now CS 35L is the one that’s really making me doubt about myself as a competent CS major. I’m getting by with on avg ~80 points on the weekly assignments, but I’m not handling the “steep learning curve” so well… (breaking down almost every weekend doing the lab/HW <em>sigh</em>)</p>
<p>I checked the curriculum chart for EE(CE opt) and CSE, and both majors seem to require CS classes known to be difficult. But I’m guessing CSE still has more CS classes.</p>
<p>So, I should just go with CS M151B next quarter? or perhaps, CS 131 if I want to see how much i like programming…</p>
<p>As stated in the HSSEAS Change of Major webpage, is second year really the last chance to change majors within engineering school?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>CS35L was unusually difficult for me as well since I had no prior exposure to Unix systems. But don’t worry, the weekly assignments get easier in the end :). If you got by the weeder classes and still enjoyed CS, it should be a good indication whether you like the major or not. </p>
<p>However, you may think about taking a CS elective of your choice (required for CSE majors but don’t know about EECS) or an algorithmic class (Math61, CS180) or an architecture design class (CSM151B, CSM152A - i’m assuming you’ve already taken CSM51A).</p>
<p>If you’re interested in doing more programming, look into CS131 or graphics, AI, or whatever electives look interesting to you.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is how interested you are in your EE courses. I’m assuming that if you switch to EECS, you’ll have to take more EE classes. Since you’ve only talked about the CS side of things, you’ll have to take that into account as well. But whatever decision you make, seems like it won’t be such a big change anyways :)</p>
<p>Hello, enrollment questions for Spring '09. I want to sign up for Physics 1A, Math 32B, Society and Genetics M102W, and Linguistics 1. I’m a prospective EE major, so Physics 1A and Math 32B are the classes that I should sign up for…however I really want to take Society and Genetics: my question is which class, Society and Genetics or Math 32B will fill up faster and if I really want to take both, which should I sign up for during first pass? </p>
<p>I really want to get into the Society and Genetics class (it fulfills a Life Science GE and Writing II/Engineering Writing requirement simultaneously). Because it fulfills two requirements, I think it’s a popular class and will fill up quickly (Am I right?)</p>
<p>Also, is Math 32B a class that fills up really quickly? If I wait until my second pass (I have junior standing, so my enrollment periods are pretty early relative to soph/freshmen), will there be space in 32B? There are two professors teaching 32B in Spring '09, 180 students for each section, for a total of 360 students who can be enrolled in 32B in Spring '09.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Although that class fulfills a Writing II requirement, be aware that engineers are still required to take an engineering ethics course (which also fulfills the Writing II requirement).</p>
<p>Ooh I see, thanks! I didn’t know that the ethics course fulfills the Writing II requirement also.</p>
<p>Nicee.</p>
<p>Are there any classes in genetics/life sciences/biotechnology that I can take that doesn’t have prerequisites and isn’t a writing class? (To take LS 4 I would have to take LS2 and LS3, and I don’t have the time to do so.)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Is the computer engineering option harder than straight EE?</p>
<p>^ It will depend on you. </p>
<p>I’ve met people that were going to do the comp. engr. option, but decided not to pursue it any further after taking CS 32.</p>
<p>Quick question for anyone that can answer. I am kind of having a dilemna here. I am currently a first year EE major at UCLA and originally for my spring quarter I had planned to take cs31, physics1B, physics4AL, and Math32B. But the conflict is that cs31 and physics1B are conflicting.</p>
<p>Which one would be recommended to take over the summer ? CS31 or Physics1B ?</p>
<p>And second question, has anyone taken cs32 over the summer at a CSU or other UC ? If you have which one did you take it at and how was it ?</p>

<p>what do you think of this schedule</p>
<p>cs 101 - 1 unit
physics 4bl - 2 units
ee 2 - 4 units
ee 10 - 4 units
cs 131/cs 180/some other upper div cs class/GE - 4 units or 5 units if i take a ge</p>
<p>since these units are all screwed up i’m having a hard time actually picking out a decent schedule, i was hoping for stats 110a instead of cs 131/cs 180 and that seems like it would be doable, but since that’s not offered spring i have to choose something different</p>
<p>any opinions on this schedule or any suggestions on other combinations/classes i could take, i’m a cs&e major and i’ve already taken cs 111 and i’m looking for one of the easier cs upper divs if you have any suggestions</p>
<p>also on a sidenote, do you think cs 101 will fill up by second pass? right now its 40/144</p>
<p>I am not sure about what I’m going to take next quarter. Here is my tentative schedule:</p>
<p>Physics 4BL
Math 61 or CS M51A / EE M16 or CS 101
A CS upper-div (currently CS 131)
???</p>
<p>I am split between taking Math 61 and CS M51A/EE M16 as they occur at the same time (2 PM - 3 PM). I also considered CS 101, but that conflicts with CS M51A and Math 61. Which one should I take?</p>
<p>For CS 131: Is this a good first upper-division CS class to start out with? How hard are Eggert and Millstein? I heard that Millstein is easier, but he only teaches during the winter. If Millstein is easier, is it worth it to wait until then?</p>
<p>I am not sure what to take as my fourth class. I already used up 4 GE’s just to keep my already low GPA from falling further, and I’m not as willing to use my fifth GE at this time. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Has anyone taken physics 1b without taking math 32b previously/concurrently?</p>
<p>I’m taking 1a/32a this quarter, and am thinking of taking 1b with no math in the spring. </p>
<p>How hard will it be to keep up with the math? Will it be easy enough to grasp?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Edit: I have Corbin for 1a this quarter, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>FlameAlex: It seems you are in freshman/sophomore year…I would advise you not to touch CS upper-div classes atm…and definitely don’t take Eggert, although I think you will have to take him when you take CS111 good luck.</p>
<p>I agree with Citan…I wouldn’t suggest taking CS131 as your first CS upper div. I believe my first ones were CS170a, CS180…try looking into some electives first.</p>
<p>And Millstein is a LOT easier than Eggert. I heard you only have to learn about 4 languages in Millstein’s class…as opposed to the 6-7 you learn with Eggert.</p>
