almost done with csci571
The more I take classes for my masters, the more deeply rooted my love-hate relationship with school becomes. This is my second class with professor Crowley at USC. The guy is amazing and I find myself reusing the stuff I learn in his classes daily. But I also spend most of my non-working life writing code for his homework assignments. In this 11 week class, I’ve probably spent an average of 3 hours a day; not just on the 2 days of class, every single day, including weekends! I’m not gonna do the math but I know that’s got to be some serious time I lost from my life. I could take an easier teacher; everyone knows who they are. But after the class I feel this sort of liberation from my ignorance of the subject he teaches. I’m even using my skills that i learn in his class at work. So [insert aerospace company here], you are at least getting some of your money’s worth

Hi Kevin,
I am a Masters Student at USC. I am planning to take CSCI 571 in Summer 2008 alongwith a very heavy course of EE( EE 560). So, I was just curious if it would be manageable to handle both courses together. Wanted to talk to you in this regard. So kindly, email me at oprabhu@usc.edu, so that I can contact you. Thank You.

hi, no i wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re not working full time. Like I said in my post, it takes up a lot of your time to get an A.
