However, it appears that some students already took this course as
undergraduates, and are now graduates. Two other course to look at
are cmps 102 (intermediate between 101 ans 201) and cmps 130 (good
grounding for the NP-completeness topic in 201).
I do not know which quarters these are taught. Check at BE 225,
undergrad advising, if you cannot find trustworthy info on the web.
In any case, be aware that there is NO WITHDRAW from grad courses,
like there is for undergrad courses, late in the quarter.
You need to make some choices early, then make your choices work.
