Seems like you want to finish you MS real quick. Yah if you are in hurry then you can stick with
what you have decided. But the fact is thesis is something you won't be able to finish in one
semester but few exceptions. And taking four courses in one semester will work fine if you don't
do any on-campus part time job, but again it depends on your capability. i would recommend to
stick with taking not more than 3 courses per semester. and also i would like to ask whether you
are givne 560 and/or 570 as prerequisite ?? if yes, then please take into note that these courses
are not counted towards your master program, i.e. don't count the credits of these courses towards
the 30 credits required for MS CS program.

i would like to ask one question that are u getting this insurance just for a short duration until
u get the policy sponsored by SDSU associated students, or u r getting it for the long term to
fulfil the requirement as an international student's F-hold ??

if for the long term, then let me clarify an issue... as far as the international student
insurance is concerned, no matter how reputed the insurance company is, if it doesn't meet the
requirements mentioned at this link http://www.sa.sdsu.edu/isc/regulations.htm#wra02, your
insurance policy will not be considered at all. and before you get any insurance policy besides
the one sponsored and recommended by SDSU, get an approval from ISC.

IMHO, i would recommend you to get a policy offered by SDSU itself, as you will be able to use
services from Student Health Services. I know it will be cheaper for you to
get a policy from India itself, but it would be safer and less painful if you get it from here.

hope i conveyed the message clearly.

Hi, Usually what I suggest is to browse through some previous class schedules and look for the same course with the same professor. O...
