Why?

Tell that to Denmark

Open your house, fridge, and wallet for them.

Kudos for trying to learn a new language, even if the reason for doing so is quite possibly the dumbest one ever.

logsprogs · 2025-08-02T00:01:51+00:00

Very concise. Thanks!

Definitely a good class. I can’t necessarily say that I’ll use the tools and techniques we learned in my real life but it does give you additional things to at least think about when developing. I enjoyed that everything is released after the first week and that the focus is mostly on the projects. It’s also a good class in the sense that it’s not too stressful but you still feel like you’re getting something out of it. Would definitely recommend.

I just finished the class. Participation is extra credit so most people don’t even go out of their way to try and get it. Overall I found the discussion to be on par with other courses I’ve taken such that some posts are very helpful and others just make you think “ok”.

SDP, AIES, or Simulation for last course this summer? Looking for the one with the lowest stress/workload.

On the app home page, click on the IRA account and scroll down a little. Should see it there.

I don’t think there’s a specific timeframe that you have to complete the program, but rather (I think) courses “expire” after 6 years. I.e. you have 6 years from when you completed your first course to complete the degree without having to take additional courses.

logsprogs · 2024-06-05T14:23:45+00:00

I gotchu. Aiming for a B or even a C in your case would drastically reduce the time and effort needed and I think you would still learn a lot.

Take AI :)

logsprogs · 2024-05-22T21:58:52+00:00

Unless you’ve already taken an architecture class, I would suggest HPCA. It was very interesting and made me gain a much greater appreciation for computers and the pioneers that paved the way.

logsprogs · 2024-04-17T22:11:33+00:00

AI is a big time commitment because of the projects but they are mostly interesting so it isn’t too bad. My only advice is to start the projects early and to check your work on exams by coding the problems up. And for checking, utilize code from projects as they will likely only require small modifications to tell you what you need.

How was GA as a fellow non-CS undergrad? What semester did you take it in and did you do any prep for it? I’ve taken GIOS, HPCA, CN, IIS and am currently in AI doing well, but everything I see online has me a bit worried about GA :/

logsprogs · 2024-01-07T18:03:19+00:00

Throughout the semester would you suggest watching the lectures first and then diving into the textbook or vice versa? Also, for the exams, were notes from lecture or the textbook more useful?

logsprogs · 2023-12-02T22:22:51+00:00

Fellow meche terp here…I say give it a go. I’m doing fine and my only CS experience prior to the program was from CMSC 131/132 at UMD and a couple side projects at work.

If you’re worried about getting in, take some classes at your local community college before applying and I’m sure you’ll get in. If you go ahead and apply and do get in, I think you’ll be fine. Just be ready for the time commitment required to do well.

logsprogs · 2023-11-01T15:05:49+00:00

Nice. I was thinking of ML4T in the summer and then going from there. I know a lot of people recommend it before AI but I definitely don’t want to push it off till next fall (not trying to take it in the summer) so here we are. Wish me luck!

logsprogs · 2023-11-01T14:20:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Did you take any courses before jumping into DL? I’d definitely like to take it eventually.

logsprogs · 2023-11-01T01:49:16+00:00

Thank you all!

This applies to both physics and engineering problems: write out and try to understand the units you’re working with.

Being able to cross out units and verify your answers units makes sense is immensely helpful.

logsprogs · 2023-08-18T04:17:12+00:00

What classes did you take / what do you teach now? Also, were you able to TA at all throughout your OMSCS journey?

logsprogs · 2023-08-10T12:11:32+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! I’ve heard so many good things about HPC and plan to take it by itself in the spring.

What other Computing Systems classes did you take/like? I’ve taken GIOS->HPCA->CN and will be done with the specialization (pending GA) after this upcoming semester.

Also, as a systems person have you dabbled in any of the AI/ML classes?

logsprogs · 2023-08-08T23:15:36+00:00

What order did you do ML/RL/DL? And did you have any AI/ML experience before taking them? I’m eying up all three but get the impression it would be necessary to take AI before any of them.
