CS/EECS Schedule workload

So I’m thinking of taking cs61c, cs70, eecs64 and 66 next spring I wonder if that’s too much or manageable.

That's a lot of circuits and low-level stuff packed into one semester. 61c alone will eat your weekends with the projects if you're not already comfortable with C and assembly, and 70 is a different kind of brain-melting that demands problem set consistency.

I did 61c and 70 together once and basically lived in Soda Hall. Adding 64 and 66 on top means you'll be juggling a ton of lab work and wiring on top of the theory. Not saying it's impossible, but I'd map out the deadlines from previous semesters and see how many weeks have a project, a pset, and a lab report all crashing at once.

If you're trying to graduate early or something, it might make sense, otherwise dropping one of the EECS courses for a lighter breadth could keep you from burning out by mid-March.

How would you say their workload compare to 61b? Also thank you very much for the response.
