I am trying an experiment where I (self-taught programmer) try to study graduate level curriculum in just 100 days. It might be a dumb idea. But I won't know until I try. I've been in a rut and haven't pushed myself to grow since a while. So this is a medium to bring some challenge and joy in life.

The curriculum of some universities is.. well.. not too challenging. They can be speedran in 2-3 months, no problem. I laughed very hard and University of London's CS degree curriculum, as an example. I know that MIT is a top school, but are their graduate curses actually hard?

This is the undergraduate curriculum. I've talked with folks who went through various programs (biology, chemistry, math, and physics) and I think they are demanding courses, and the question sets and tests were extremely hard. The students are also quite competitive with each other.

But I've also learned that many well-known advanced CS programs are taking significant shortcuts with their CS education.

I honestly can't imagine compressing an undergraduate curriculum (even with electives omitted) into a shorter time without significant compromises to the learning process.
