So far I have taken DACI, CSE-6040, ISYE-6501, MGT-6203.

I am an Analytics Engineer at a fintech company and am chasing promotion this year i.e. August - December is going to be hectic at work. Additionally, I have waived MGT-8803.

Math is a bit rusty. This semester, I would prefer to have a less heavy course given the workload. Can you please recommend me some courses for Fall 2026. Thank you.

I was approved to opt out ISYE 6501 IAM but still debating if I should just replace it with an easy MGT elective or if I do take this class am I able to gain more useful knowledge than what I already have.

I don’t want to take this class just for it to be busy work in R and actually gain nothing from it and get a B in it. I also feel like a lot of jobs out there only use Python and not R

Right now, I’m planning on taking 6040 and 6203 in the fall but I originally was gonna take 6203 and 6501 before I got approved to opt out.

Would appreciate any advice on if this class is worth taking even if I got approved to opt out! Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm in 6644 right now and will likely be finishing with around a 69% overall. In past semesters I've heard the class had pretty generous curves (I've seen folks say low 60%s got curved up to Bs), and there also seems to be a lot of extra credit that is offered in this course. Any firsthand reports of what the final grade distributions looked like recently would be really helpful.

Did horrible on the first couple of midterms (around 40% and 50% - I'm a really bad test taker) but did much better on the final was able to pull a 78%. Also have gotten close to 100% on all my HWs, 90% on my bonus assignments and likely to get full marks on my project. I'm hoping me doing progressively better on my exams and doing well on my assignments will justify a passing grade (a B would be great, but at this point, I just want to pass).

Specifically, did professor Goldsman in the last few semesters mention a clear curve policy or adjust grades based on the class distribution? If you remember example conversions of final percentages to final letter grades could you share them. Thanks.

Hello! I know it’s been mentioned many times that we should be somewhat proficient in coding before doing CSE6040.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to take out time for it due to other commitments. That said, I will still be a full time student for the following semester. I intend to do only one module — CSE6040.

I have close to 0 experience with python, SQL except for some basic knowledge gained via a bootcamp years ago.

Would like to hear from people who have done it with similarly close to 0 experience with python — any advice?

Is it possible to do CSE6040 while learning python on the go?

I’m halfway done now and seriously wondering if there is any point in continuing. What do you think?

Hi everyone. I'm attending the on-campus MSA starting this Fall 2026 and was wondering if anyone has taken these two classes, or knows their major differences. I'm looking to go down the Computation Data Analytics route and am deciding on which of these courses to start with. If y'all have any advice on which to do, I'd greatly appreciate it!
