<p>I'm going to be a senior next year, and there are so many classes I wanted to take before I graduate so I am planning on taking 3 computer science courses next semester? The 3 I am planning on taking are 188, 170, and 169. Has anyone else done this before, and if you have, could you please comment on how rigorous it was and whether it's doable or not? Thanks for the comments.</p>
<p>A lot of people take three CS courses and do well. You can finish 188 HWs and projects in about one or two days, and 170 usually takes about two days’ worth of work to solve the problems and do the write-ups. 169 might take the most time out of your schedule but it depends how much you want to accomplish and how motivated your group is. None of those classes are relatively big time sinks really.</p>
<p>That’s a really balanced schedule…170 will be the most work conceptually. 169 will be the most coding. 188 is somewhere in-between. As bsd says, none of those classes are true design courses => they don’t take up much time. Just keep in mind that next semester’s 169 has a web app flavor that deviates from the previous iPhone/Android/desktop template.</p>
<p>That should be fine. I took 170, 184, and 161 this semester and it was fine, I was able to take an upper div math course and a decal as well.</p>
<p>Sounds good, thanks for all of your insight.</p>
<p>Has anyone tried taking cs162 with 2 other CS courses? Is the 162 workload significantly heavier than 188, 169, and 170?</p>
<p>I’m taking CS162, CS186, and CS188 right now. I think you’d be better off doing 162, 170, 188 if you really want three CS classes. It’s more academically enriching and less time spent trying to fix bugs.</p>
