CSE 429 Thomas Hayes vs CSE 431 Kelin Luo

Which one should I take.. For context I hated 331 and 341 but 220 was my favorite class.

I've taken Kelin Luo and I don't understand her accent at all but I've only heard of nightmares with Thomas Hayes.

Should I take the chance with 429 because it's an easier class? Even tho Hayes probably won't follow the curriculum

Advice

Hello! I'm a senior CS student with no internship but I have some connections in the field and yes I'm native to the USA.

This has been my passion since I was a kid and I've always been more focused on building things I like rather than mass applying to internships and I always did leetcode for fun even before college. I am really scared for the future (I mean we all are) but my current projects I can include in my resume right now that I made this past 2 months are:

Deepfake detector - diffusion model, reached 99% AUC, deep learning based, implemented DoRa (documented optimizations and citations from research)

Visualization of NYC Crime & Vehicle Collision - this leans more data science but obv it's just numpy, pandas, pyspark, matplotlib, scikit learn I used XGBoost model (I lowkey hate it because there's too much noise when it comes to this kind of topic)

Student Marketplace App - This was a big class project and it's a full stack market place app (the professor did alot of testing so it's not vulnerable to SQL and other malicious stuff you can with C) It's for .edu students in my campus deployed in my school's server (gotta be in school wifi to access)

Dysarthria Speech Recognition (In progress cus im looking for good data sets)

I had a rough sophomore and junior year but not due to school but because of personal circumstances and now I'm a senior I feel like I wasted those two years for not applying to internships or research positions

I have a lot of projects even from high school but I don't think they're good enough to today's standards.. I was thinking employers might notice me if I have an app with actual users.

I've hardly applied for jobs hearing all the negativity online but I applied to a random company around my school and the owner wanted to meet up in person and I turned it down because I would have to stay in the area and I'm not local to my college's city. I don't know if that was stupid
