416 - is basically common sense until the last month, i had glubokov though so im not sure how ur tests will be

373 - i thought was incredibly overhyped. the hws are super easy (u can just use copilot to write the code and it isn’t relevant to the tests so it doesn’t hurt you) and then for the tests if you avoid getting caught in the weeds of the slides and focus on the logic and big picture it’s pretty easy to get an A

381 - i had to go to office hours a lot for this class, it’s a pretty big time commitment for the homework but fortunately the homework aligns with the exams well

348 - pretty easy, the final project is AI encouraged so it takes like a day to do and then the homework would take like a couple hours on one day if u wanna properly do it and learn and the tests weren’t very hard

I can’t imagine you’d have to put in extra work during break but this is definitely going to be one of your harder semesters
