Your goal the first year is to knock off the core courses and
get to know the faculty and their research so you can start
working on a project. Below are three example plans, which take into
account that the core courses are extremely demanding, but an excellent preparation
for subsequent course work and research. Your situation may justify another choice;
there are many possibilities. The Graduate Studies FAQ
has more information. To help get through this intense period, we recommend you find a study group.

Note: If you are TA'ing at 50% time, you MUST also sign up for CSE 500,
