Which Is The Easiest Guided Elective to take at UTD for Software Engineering
Rating from 1 (easy) to 10 (Hard) CS 4485 is probably the best pick here. It has variable difficulty but you win either way (assuming you're ok with working for free/paying to work for a company) - get an easy project, it's easy. Get a hard project, it's a resume builder. CS 4341 with Hamdy is about a 4/10 if you attend every class. HW is about 30-50% harder than the exams, lectures are great. CS 4141 might be a corequisite though, I'm not sure CS 4384 with Erbatur was a 3/10 when I took it but I heard he changed the course structure. When I took it, your grade was entirely dependent on the exams, but now I think HW is factored in. CS 4389 with Cankaya is a 3/10 if you study and print the slides for the exams, and have someone carry the project for you before you even get a chance to start (5/10 if not). Prof. Cankaya made it clear that the project is graded on effort in implementing security, not if the final product is actually functional. CS 4390 with Khiem Le is 5 or 6/10, pretty standard class. Not hard, not easy. Everything (exam, hw, project, difficulty) is as default as can be. It's a class of all time CS 4398 with Neeraj Gupta is a 4/10 with survivorship bias, maybe 6/10 without. His lectures are actually decent, and if you understand them, the exams are rather simple. The semester-long project is broken into bite sized chunks and is fun. I don't remember if we had any HW outside of the project. Main caveat is there isnt much provided to study with - only whatever notes you took during lecture. CS 4393 with Nguyen is about a 6 or 7/10. Get ready to handwrite a lot of notes and spend quite a bit of time on the assignments. He's also pretty mean. More on reddit.com

Cool CS guided electives?
If you liked Automata Theory CS 4384, CS 4386 is similar to CS 4384 in that it goes over a decent amount of the same material. It is an easy class as well the professor was chill almost everyone got an A with Shiyi Wei. There is a project with 3 parts to it. We had to make a compiler in java and he extended the deadline for those projects as well when I took him. More on reddit.com
