I can't speak for Berkeley, but my favorite classes in CS were always the ones on Algorithms and novel languages.
Avoid classes that teach syntax, unless the syntax is used to highlight a language feature you have never encountered before, like continuations or currying.
- jdvolz 19y agoI can speak for Berkeley, and you won't have any trouble with taking a class where you have to learn "syntax." I enjoyed the operating systems class there (project work in C++). I don't know if they are still using it, but the first CS class there used to be taught in Scheme using SICP.
