Hi all, I'm an incoming Master's student in Computer Science at EPFL! I'm excited to join the programme! I had the following questions.
Can anybody tell me which optional courses are the most recommended (in terms of professor's teaching skill, quality of exams, strength of content, etc) to take? Similarly, are there any optional courses that you guys would recommend me to avoid (for any reason?)?
I'm keen on getting some research experience during my master's too, but I'm not too heavy on any particular topic just yet. For that, which professors are known to be the best to work with (in terms of guidance they provide, their approachability, the work culture at their lab, strictness with grades they would provide for a thesis project)?
Crucial question: any potentially "toxic" profs to avoid? (both for the courses they would teach and the ease of working with them)
Lastly, which are some of y'all's favourite among the core courses. This question is just to get a headsup on which courses to look forward to! :D
All answers are appreciated. Thank you! : )
