It was 1.5. The lab was .5 credit (a class a credit where I went). It was, as far as I know, the only class in the whole university where the lab was a separately credited part.
Organic Chem - 1 credit.
OS - 1.5

- rms 19y agoAt CMU OS is actually a 36 unit course, which can be converted to 12 credits at most USA schools, where 12 credits is full time, 15 credits is normal, and 18 credits is the max. So the CMU OS course is equivalent to four normal classes.
- gleb 19y agoThat's impressive. So that's pretty much the only class you take that quarter?
- rms 19y agoMy understanding was that most CMU students overloaded and took a bunch of classes anyways. BUT... but I just looked up the class at CMU and it is not 12 credits. It is 4 credits. Which shakes my worldview somewhat, I thought this 12 credit was proof that the CMU CS curriculum was something special. So either I was mislead by my friend at CMU years ago when this course came up in discussion or more likely, I misunderstood him. Feel free to downmod my post above, it would ideally settle out around 0 points for containing wrong information. Sorry for spreading untruths...
