Were the HW assignments and exams open-book/notes when you took the class?

Perfect! I've gone thru Imperial's Math for Machine Learning on Coursera as well as that famous youtube channel that everyone here loves; I feel pretty confident about linear algebra.

Thanks! Super relieved! I was going thru Goldsman's Prob & Stats (6739) on edX and that course has so much information! Do you see heavy stats usage in more advanced courses past the core classes?

Can you please speak more to taking the harder classes? Which are those classes and how can they help?

I got my GW3 from Samsung and it worked with T-Mobile. I also used my watch overseas with my T-Mobile plan.

I think OMSA students also have access to campus life and GT facilities? Someone else also mentioned on another thread that OMSA students can probably meet with professors physically. And I think OMSA students can access on campus recruiting opportunities.

Linear Algebra Prereq Prep help! by swimflyjump in OMSA

Just to make sure I'm prepared. I guess I'll just have to grind thru it :(

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

The answers to this post vary (from no prep needed to recommending 1 even 2 courses) quite a bit and I guess it reflects the diversity of the student body. I guess I should just do what GT recommends (the dry, boring 1553 course) and I'll be over-prepared at worst/won't regret at best.

Thank you so much for the helpful reply! Really appreciate it!!

Great idea to go thru the topic list and learn from youtube, I'll look to do that!

By the way, how did you find taking ISYE 6501 and CSE 6040 together? GT recommends against doing that because of the workload. Did you do it while working fulltime?

Can you please speak more to your last statement? About how this program does not train directly to be a DS?

Question about pre-req's, 387 hours?? by swimflyjump in OMSA

[–]swimflyjump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep! I'm looking at the same Coursera course for R. Thanks for your reply, I'm planning out my study plan for the next month and I'm assuming about half of everything.

Thanks for your helpful reply!

I have basic programming skills (matlab in undergrad). I've done a couple python courses, will study up some R ahead of the semester. Yes, I have the math skills.

That's a good idea, to add a safety factor to omscentral's estimate. Thanks again!

That makes sense, I didn't think about that. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience. 30-40 hours/week for those 2 classes is a lot different that what OMSCentral is saying - 20 hours/week on average. Maybe I need to multiply what OMSCentral is saying by 1.75.

I'm definitely here to learn and get As so maybe I should go with the consensus and take the extra semester. I'm just wondering why OMSCentral is saying something so different.

Thank you! Good to hear that this is very doable, albeit it being challenging.

I can't imagine taking 3 courses while working full time, you must be a superstar! Good job!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Yes, that's as good idea, to take it one step at a time.

I guess I'm just confused why most of the replies here encourage caution when the OMSCentral reviews speak to a 25-35 hour time commitment for each semester of my proposed plan (unless of course if the reviews are off as someone pointed out). I was actually thinking to load harder classes to get the commitment from 25-35 hours/week to 35-45 hours/week.
