workload for 3 cs upper divs

<p>i'm wondering what the workload will be like to take ee122, cs169, and cs188 together in the fall semester. is it too much of an overkill?</p>

<p>They all have programming assignments and projects, so expect the workload to be higher than some other courses like math, CS theory, economics, etc…</p>

<p>I did 169, 188, and 170 last semester, have not taken ee122.</p>

<p>CS188 is a relatively light workload… there are 5 projects, but unless you’re after extra credit those can be done in under a day. Homeworks are all on edX, you can try until you get it right, those are also pretty short and do-able in a day. Conceptually it could be a tricky class, though that depends on you. The only thing to watch out for is the exams, they’re a lot harder than the homeworks/projects.</p>

<p>CS169 was a really really big workload, but a lot of that depends on your project and your group. I had Fox/Patterson, and there were a lot of surprise homeworks with only a couple days to figure them out, constant deadlines (one or two big things due every week) and everything was really fast. I assume someone else is teaching Spring, so homeworks might be different. But either way, there’s a giant project to do. Expect that one to take up a lot of time.</p>

<p>EE122 I haven’t taken, but overall I’d say it’s probably do-able, assuming you’re only taking those three classes.</p>
