This is so frustrating. I’m almost at the finish line of OMSA (7/10 completed), and I am just completely burnt out. I left a PhD incomplete before OMSA. I haven’t had a semester off since I graduated undergrad (2021)

I’m about to have a panic attack and breakdown because ML4T is more coding intensive than I anticipated, and the grading is all or nothing if your code doesn’t run. I’ve already spent so much time on it and I can’t get anything to run. This is on top of the fact that the class is just so chaotic and there are 1,000 different webpages of instructions that I can’t keep straight

Any advise? I wanted to finish the computational track in Spring 27, but I’m about to curl up in the fetal position in the corner of my room. I haven’t taken any track electives yet, so I can switch pretty easily. Are the business analytics electives less code heavy? Do any of them primarily use R? I just can’t handle spending any more time staring at my screen all week at work looking at code and then using all my evenings and weekends debugging for dozens of hours. I’d rather use my time studying out of textbooks/videos, taking exams, and picking up business domain knowledge with a light sprinkling of code

Any advise?
