<p>Econ 101A
CS 61BL
CS 70
EE 42
Chinese</p>
<p>hows the workload? any advice on these specific classes?</p>
<p>I heard the instructor for econ 101A is good. hard but good. Review your calculus (optimization, lagrange) before hand! </p>
<p>I will be in registering for that course, too. </p>
<p>That is all i can say.</p>
<p>Tough.</p>
<p>CS 61B is a giant weeder. Lots of tedious projects and homework assignments, and a lot of material taught at an exceedingly rapid pace.</p>
<p>I'm taking Math 55 right now, and find it to be more difficult than Math 53 and 54. It could vary depending on the professor, though.</p>
<p>EE 42 is like a toned-down version of EE 40, which I'm taking right now. EE 40 is a weeder like CS 61B.</p>
<p>So four techs and one language class. Expect to be studying every waking hour, especially as finals approach. Don't say I didn't warn you.</p>
<p>hmm.. dam.. i was thinking/hoping that CS 70 and EE42 would be significantly easier than Math55 and EE40... well, i guess i'll see how things go and then drop one if i feel i need to</p>
<p>CS 70 and Math 55 are basically the same course.</p>
<p>EE 42 is definitely less in-depth than EE 40.</p>
<p>Plus Chinese is 5 units...that's going to take up a nice chunk of your time.</p>
<p>o. I'm taking Chinese 10BX, which is 3 units.. and I'm mainly taking it for fun and to improve my Chinese... might P/NP it</p>
<p>Oh gotcha. I thought all foreign language courses are 5 units. My mistake.</p>
<p>avoid math 55</p>
<p>IMO, everything Student said was extremely overexaggerated. CS70 is easy, EE42 is easy, CS61B is a lot of work but not hard otherwise. I would say drop just one class (five is a lot--doable if you have the time, but not fun), but otherwise you should be fine.</p>
<p>Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but I hope others are aware that you're one of the top students in EECS.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure my comments are more reflective of the "majority opinion." Look at the ratings on hkn.eecs. Weeders like CS 61B always get ratings of 3.5-5.0 out of 5 under "the pace of this course is too fast" and "workload in this class is heavier than other courses of comparable credit" regardless of professor.</p>
<p>I'll give you that 61B is a lot of work--it's a class that is meant to get you to code a lot. Conceptually, though, there isn't much in that class that is "hard". I'll admit this is purely my opinion and I certainly concur you might be right that the common opinion isn't shared with mine, but I still believe this statement is extremely exaggerated:</p>
