In your opinion, what preparation or background is necessary to take this course?
Masochistic tendencies. A dislike of things like “sleep” or “fun” or “happiness”. I would strongly discourage anyone from taking this course without Stat 110 (or, for that matter, with Stat 110).
(Four replies to this one. The two people who didn’t take CS181 with me wanted to know what class this was. The two who did already knew.)
