I don't know whats wrong with me but I'm not feeling well since morning... I have one more day to decide what I'm gonna do. I've just joined for a Masters program and selected the courses which I was supposed to take. One of them was Operating Systems. Though there was a warning that said: "Take this course only if you know system level programming and heavy command over Unix", I thought I can manage it and opted for this course. Now, we've been given the first assignment in this course. To mimic some command in unix. I spent some 8 hours trying to do that but in vain. I'm sure I'll be able to do it within the next couple of hours if I break my head but most of the people here said: "If you cannot do the first project, drop the course and take something which you feel comfortable at" And I've heard the second project will be something relating to "Create a Small Shell for Unix".
Now I have 24 hours more before I can decide to drop this course. The other subjects that I have in the list are Computer Architecture and Database Systems. I can take one of them or both of them. Though I was more interested in Databases, I took up Operating Systems because many people said that I will be learning a great level of programming here but this course demands something that I don't have as of now. I don't know what to do. I am not from a Computer Science background so I am not an expert at C System Level programming. Its hard to decide about this course because its offered only once a year. So if I drop this course now, I'll have to take it next fall and I'm feeling guilty. I am interested in Web Programming and Computer Networking and I don't know how my decisions will influence my future - Job, Study and Internships because my course itself is for 1.5 years => that I can take course for atmost two Fall Quarters. I don't know what to do. Please please help me...
