<p>Is it true that CS32 would be easier to take in the spring than in the winter with all the CS majors? If that is the case, should a student like me who is struggling in CS31 (struggling as in doing and trying the best I can and still getting around a mid/high C) take 32 in the spring rather than take NACHENBERG next quarter?</p>
<p>Yeah, take it during the spring. Let the CS Majors have Nachenberg.</p>
<p>Thanks Rage. But even if I take it in the Spring, is it still doable with a schedule combo consisting of physics 1b and 4AL, and math 32a?</p>
<p>4AL will take 3-5 hours per week outside the lab.
1B depends on how you are at physics, probably about 2-3 hours on average.
32A will be about the same as 1B, once again depending on how good you are at math.</p>
<p>CS 32 will take you at least 15 hours per week, especially if you aren’t great at CS 31.</p>
<p>That being said, it is doable but you’ll have to work quite hard. Most of my computer science classes had test averages of 60-70%, and that’s with the other computer science majors. As long as the professor is not John Rohr, you can probably handle it.</p>
<p>What is your major btw?</p>
<p>Ahh, I see. But will there be many situations where you will find yourself working in the lab for more than the given 3 hrs for 4AL? Oh and I’m a EE by the way.</p>
<p>No you won’t go past 3 hours for 4AL, or at least I never did.</p>
<p>The most it will take is the full 3 hours. Then it will take you 3-5 hours for the lab write-up if you work efficiently.</p>
<p>Alright. Thanks for the heads up guys. So right now, Im on the path to taking a break from programming and taking CS32 in the spring. Would you guys happen to know the nature of the class EE M16 / CS M51? Are they difficult courses or as time consuming as other computer science courses?</p>
<p>Not as time consuming because there are no projects, but there were weekly homeworks from what I can remember (or maybe there weren’t I don’t really remember doing any lol). When I took it we had quizzes in discussion, but there is no programming its all hardware logic.</p>
