For those of you that are taking both classes, what's the difference
in workload like? I found AI really easy to start with, but the
further we get into the class, the longer I find having to spend to go
through not only all the videos, but all the math to do the
calculations. I feel like especially during the midterm that it took
more than 10 hours during the week not only to watch the videos, but
prep for midterm and then the time to take it.

I'm considering whether I want to take another class next quarter but
not sure I can put in this amount of time again if it keeps at this
rate.

So... how much time do you think the classes are taking you?

For me, ML is taking up more time than AI on the whole. The fact that ML has programming assignments (even if they're usually on the order of a dozen lines or so) is a big part of this. I'm also finding the algorithms and math used in the ML class to be slightly less intuitive, and harder to get all the details right, than the stuff being taught in AI.
