On Reddit: "Honestly I'd say most of the best courses I've taken are some of the most notoriously difficult ones. CSSE2310, PHYS3051, MATH3204, ... Operations Research and Mathematical Planning's (MATH3202) pretty awesome and isnt as challenging as the above. High Performance Computing (COS…"
On Reddit: "Well all scientists can do with a bit of CS knowledge, so CSSE2310 is a good option. Your biomed's basically applied physics, so a laid back physics course like PHYS3051 wouldnt be bad. If you're doing any large data set studies understanding some of the basic maths behind it al…"
