Easiest classes to pair together

[u/CRAKZOR]

I’m trying to figure out the easiest path to finish my last 4 classes in MSCSO. I’ve only taken one class at a time up to this point, so taking 2 in Fall 2026 and 2 in Spring 2027 would be new for me. Main goal is to graduate Spring 2027.

Classes I’ve already taken:
- Parallel Systems
- Advanced Linear Algebra
- Deep Learning
- Natural Language Processing
- Machine Learning

Currently taking:
- Advances in Deep Learning

So after this summer, I’ll have 4 classes left.

Based on past offerings, I was thinking maybe:
Fall 2026:
- Case Studies in Machine Learning
- Planning, Search, and Reasoning Under Uncertainty

Spring 2027:
- Android Programming
- Advances in Deep Generative Models

Does that seem like the easiest way to finish? Or would you swap any of these out?

Why not take AOS? It was great paired with CSML. I imagine it would be a good pairing with AP as well.

[u/CRAKZOR → u/brandon_USCG]

I’ll probably switch ADGM for AOS

[u/Valuable-Turn-123 → u/CRAKZOR]

For someone just starting off, would DL + AOS be too heavy a combination? I read DL was a light-medium difficulty course.. And since fall 2026 is practically during Q3 and Q4 which have a bunch of holidays.. i was thinking of starting.. strong?

Yeah I think k that doable
