More course selections

[backguy]

I'm definitely doing CO 487 (Cryptography), CS 370 (Numerical Computation), and MUSIC 253 (Music History). I'm relatively certain that I'm going to take CS 456 (Networks), but that course has a tendency to fill up very quickly, so I'll need a backup or two.

Maybe CS 454 (Distributed Systems) would be a good replacement, but I should read the

Ah, I love course selection time.

Concurrency is less work than OS.

Concurrency is less work definitely -- but the concepts can be trixy. If you get it then all the assignments are pretty quick, but it can take a while for some people to wrap their head around how the pieces should fit together.

CS 343 is good for you. How hard it is varies based on how quickly you take to the concepts, but understanding concurrency is important even if you rarely have to use it.

CS 448 is boring. I'd avoid it. People also tend to do poorly in it.

CS 454 is really easy and kinda interesting / fun. It greatly depends on the prof though.

Are you looking for other course suggestions or just feedback on these ones?

I'm thinking of doing Networking in 4B ... there are WAY too many courses that are only offered in the Winter. Boo-urns.
