# overall tips
![[MATH 25A#^advice]]
![[STAT 110#^advice]]
Taking three grad courses my [[2022 Q4|sophomore fall]] alongside being a CA for [[STAT 184]] and leading clubs nearly killed me; hardest semester by far; I was nowhere near prepared and took these courses mostly spurred by a fragile ego. That being said, they introduced me to the [[Harvard SEAS ML Foundations Group]] / [[Harvard SEAS ML Foundations Group|representations reading group]] and to [[computational neuroscience]] research and were extremely formative in shaping my research interests. I learned a lot but at a great cost. Be proactive, yes, but patience is a virtue! As is humility.
Geneds: we should really replace them with better introductory courses in each department. The expectations are just so inconsistent and unclear. [[GENED 1114|Painting's Doubt]] was one of my favourite classes, though; my final project still hangs in my room!
I'm so grateful I did the German Studies secondary. We had such creative, insightful readings discussions that frame the way I approach identity and art. I've heard many language departments are like this, strongly recommend!
