“How would you guys say MSCI436 is as an elective if you don’t have experience coding? Looking for MSCI courses for my option.”

u/qgib56: “Oh that’s good to know, I wasn’t aware! Thank you :) Yeah I need a course that would count as a technical elective replacement for the required TEs from my program. I got approval for MSCI436 and MSCI434. Do you know how MSCI434 is like?”
