<p>Have any of you guys done this? I know that cs 31 is the only prereq, but will taking 35l after cs 32 be a better idea than taking it only after cs 31?</p>
<p>If I shouldn't do this, what should I do? Take physics4al?</p>
<p>Take 4AL. Although I don’t remember exactly, I’m sure there’s something in CS35L that becomes easier after taking CS32.</p>
<p>If you are confident with your programming skills then go ahead and take it. Nothing in CS 32 was required for 35L. I took 35L at the same time as 33 and some of the concepts lined up real nice though.</p>
<p>35L can be a little overwhelming the first few weeks (especially if you are unfamiliar with linux), but becomes a joke after week 4/5.</p>
<p>IMO I would wait till spring quarter to take it, but if you are looking for a class to fill then go ahead and enroll. Don’t let the fact that it’s 2 units make you think it won’t invest as much time as any other class. If you get the chance replace it with any math/physics/chem that you need to take.</p>
<p>don’t want to thread hijack, but is cs 32 harder than cs 31? im not too bad at the projects (95 avg so far) but the midterm just killed me.</p>
<p>I personally felt that CS 32 was much much easier, but most people will disagree with me. I think this was the case because I enjoyed 32 a lot more. The projects are interesting but they will take more time.</p>
<p>32 has more difficult concepts and projects, but if you learn to enjoy the material like I did, it shouldn’t be too bad.</p>
<p>I’ve used ubuntu and the terminal, and I’ve done some shell scripting (and a bit of vi/vim; no emacs).</p>
<p>Do you guys remember what concepts stacked up nicely with cs 32/33?</p>
<p>So, I guess I should sign up for physics 4AL instead of cs 35L for my first pass?
I’m not going to take physics 1a concurrently. Will this be bad? I still remember a lot of my mechanics from last year.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>p.s.: which class fills up faster in winter quarter? phys 4al or cs 35L?</p>
