“There are only about three weeks until classes begin (and only two weeks until orientation). What courses will you be taking in the fall? Anything fun/interesting?”
u/sevet: “Econ 302 - Intermediate Macroecon 2 Stat 230 - Probability CO 227 - Intro to optimization Math 237 - Calc 3 for math Math 225 - Linear algebra 2 Might switch up CO 227 for Econ 304 though. Anyone taking any of the above?”
u/sheriffmclawdawg: “I took CO227, if you're looking for a pretty light course it's a good choice but I haven't taken ECON304 to compare. If you're already in some time consuming courses like your math courses then I say keep it on, or save it for another term with some hard courses.”
