Great advice! I'm in the program and have a non-CS engineering BS degree. You've now made me consider some of the computing systems courses you mentioned. Do you have a LinkedIn? I'd love to connect and learn more about your robotics background since it sounds similar to mine.
think I want to do ML or IIS specializations just can't decide if I want to avoid GA. People online make it sound difficult but then some comments say it wasn't much worse than their undergrad algorithms course so idk who to believe.
HPCA and GIOS were both useful and well run. I thought IIS was fun and useful but the teaching staff is pretty hands off. HCI is a very practical class and changed the way I think about technology, but it is a lot of writing. GA is obviously very foundational and, although a bit scary, I had a largely positive experience with it
I am just starting this semester and this was very helpful.
Happy to hear, good luck!
I'm starting iHPC as my first course this semester, so I'm glad you found it to be a pretty good prerequisite for a bunch of the other courses
Best of luck!
great content, thank you and keep it up!

Thanks! Happy to connect, it's sam-hornstein
Thanks for sharing!
Sam Can't Code after the Master's on here trying to promote his RUclips.
Thanks for watching!

My experience wasn't bad, but it can be stressful since it's so exam heavy. If you've taken an undergrad algo course you'll probably be fine
Which courses would you say are both useful for a non-CS background and enjoyable in terms of how well they're run?
