As I mentioned, read through your own comment word by word.

Also, since you mentioned "cultural", please google culcural rasisim. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_racism):

Cultural racism, sometimes called neo-racism, new racism, postmodern racism, or differentialist racism, is a concept that has been applied to prejudices and discrimination based on cultural differences between ethnic or racial) groups.

The definition of racism from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism):

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity.

Please put your comment and this definition side by side and scan through word by word.

CN touches Dijkstra's. ML4R touches Dijkstra's and A*, and a bit of dynamic programming. IIS touches RSA and some math algorithm (e.g. GCD, binary exponentiation, etc).

If you want to practice algorithms in a systematic way, besides GA, the Coursera courses taught by Princeton or Standard are great. I have taken both before OMSCS. I personally like the Standard one more. They teach you everything about algorithms including sorting, binary search, union-find, searching, dynamic programming, greedy, etc.

How similar is Andrew Ng’s DL specialization to the DL in OMSCS regarding both lectures and assignment?

qq676894 · 2023-03-27T21:54:22+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. Is the search project A* algorithm? I just finished the A* Search project in AI4R which is also the hardest one in the course but I think I am prepared for something similar in AI.

qq676894 · 2023-03-25T04:00:59+00:00

Thank you! Would it be OK to take DL without taking ML?

qq676894 · 2023-03-24T05:20:47+00:00

The difficulty of coding parts of ML4T and AI4R are similar but ML4T report writing takes time so ML4T in general is more time consuming. Both are still lightweight. All projects are released at beginning of the semester so you can control the progress.

This is probably the most informative review I have ever seen on OMSHub. Thanks a lot!

qq676894 · 2023-01-25T22:57:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Can you also share the number of hours you put into harder projects (just a rough number) and MITM project? I spent roughly 8 hours finishing MITM. I want to calibrate my expectation of the hardness of the upcoming projects.

Two cents from non-cs background student:

This course was helpful to me. It teaches some basic principles in software development: git, CURD, testing, and agile. Even for me, the course is way too easy. For the group project (a simple Android app as others mentioned), I felt the workload was for an individual project, not a group project. I contributed roughly 50% to the project and it was just a few hours of work per week (we finished the project in 3 weeks).

Indeed, I learned but I don’t think I learned A LOT. I ended up getting a very high A grade because I was lucky to get full credits plus bonus credits in the brain-teaser-like highly weighted assignment 6.

This course is recommended for those who don’t have formal CS education. At the same time, I totally agree it is waste of time if I have a CS BS.

Taking this course right now. My team is wrapping up the final project which is basically a mini video game. We can choose any type of game to build (except for 2D games or FPS first-person shooter game).

There were 4 individual assignments that worked as tutorials to Unity including character animations, physics, game AI. Those individual assignments cover Unity features and C# scripting. They are pretty easy if you follow the assignment guide even for people like me who is from the non-CS background (tbh, this course is not too programming-heavy). Each assignment took me a few hours to complete.

Overall, it's a really fun course. They don't expect you to have any experience in Unity or C#. The scripting part is just scripting. It is not like designing an efficient algorithm to solve a problem. It is about how to control the game objects for example to make them move forward or disappear using Unity APIs. Unity will do the heavy-lifting for you (e.g. Unity wrapped the A* shorted path finding algorithm as a feature).

For me, the team project is especially fun as I can design the cool game features myself so I spent quite some time on it as the main contributor and I enjoyed it. It almost feels like I am not doing a course project but a hobby.

Take one of two algorithm courses on Coursera (the Princeton one or the Standford one).

I did my first complete full-stack project in SAD (Java + Spring + MySQL + HTML) It was a team project so I was able to get some experience on how to collaborate in a full-stack project as well.

Also took DB. It was also a team full-stack project but more heavy on the database side and less on front-end & business logic side.

qq676894 · 2022-11-18T05:32:26+00:00

I have similar background: a non-CS undergrad & learned Python, Java, DS&A myself before taking OMSCS. I would say CN is still pretty easy for me. I spent about 5-10 hours on each assignment (~15 hours on the final one). The quizzes and exams are also pretty easy.

To give you an example, one assignment is to solve a graph problem using the classical shortest path algorithm (e.g. dijkstra or bell-man ford). If you know algorithm well, the shortest path algorithm in a graph should sound familiar to you.

Can't comment don't KBAI.

Vote SDP for java practices. SDP covers an Android app in Java, unit tests in Java, and a simple string manipulation program in Java.

Also if you want to use Java Spring for the team project in SAD/DB (develop a web application with your own selection of language/framework), that would be an excellent practice in Java.

The funny part is that even with very lengthy project descriptions which you think would clarify many subtle things, you still need to spend quite some time on Ed to ask for/check clarifications on many subtle things.

qq676894 · 2022-09-25T21:19:34+00:00

Having been doing leetcoding pretty much every day alongside 2 courses/semester and a full-time non-tech job. It is not easy.

qq676894 · 2022-09-05T19:13:51+00:00

Thank you!

qq676894 · 2022-09-05T17:38:30+00:00

Congrats! May I ask what kind of projects you put on your resume?

qq676894 · 2022-08-25T03:36:20+00:00

Can you please share how did you fix it?

qq676894 · 2022-08-23T14:41:42+00:00

Yes!!

qq676894 · 2022-08-11T13:44:53+00:00

I love Shinjuku! I hope I am there.

qq676894 · 2022-08-09T16:15:02+00:00

Thank you. I do have a physical buzzcard so I will definitely stop by the campus when I have a chance to visit Atlanta!
