I have to get a waiver to take both classes but want to grab one of the two before classes fill up. Which class would you consider more beneficial, "networking fundamentals", or "machine ORG/Assembly Language"? Why?
Thank you for all the help

No idea.
The title of a class tells you very, very little about the content: and it's the content that matters.
Plus, there is the direction you want to take - which way do you want to go? What is your overall course about? What do you actually want to do with your course when you have finished.
So I don't think we can really be of much help here...

Unfortunately All I have at the moment is the course title.
I'm not sure which way I want to go.
Also what do I want to do with the course when I finish? I don't know yet. I'd like it if all I learn contributes in someway to what I do or create or work on in the future.
Thank you for the reply.

You're welcome - but that's the problem: if you don't know (being in possession of the facts as you are) we are even more in the dark!

Ty for letting me know about my silly spelling mistake

Being a member of the official CodeProject pedants group it is my duty.

People already answered this when you asked this a few days ago.

That question was between assembly language and discrete mathematics.

So what you are saying is that you can't make up your own mind on anything?

I once read a book which paraphrased said If your speech isn't more beautiful than silence don't talk.
No, that is not what I am saying. As information and opinions are gathered the questions and primary concerns change. My question has merely shifted. On another website people were more favorable to my learning assembly language. So this made me wonder is the "networking fundamentals" the weakest link. Furthermore, considering I will be exerting significant effort on these courses it makes sense that I want the highest efficacy for my effort (this human desire for greatest efficacy for our actions furthermore explains the success of many inventions, automobiles, telephones, ect. all increase ones "power" and efficacy. It is a naturally human desire evident in our daily lives)So I figure that "Those who Code." could help me determine the best course of action. Questions and decision regarding serious investments should be carefully looked into.
So, I can make my mind up on many things. I just like to choose carefully.I don't understand your desire for making your presumptuous and brash comment.
Just smile my friend. It's ok.

Thank you for your help on the previous question. I ended up studying C and Linux. Also your response there doesn't apply to this question. These are different questions. They are all related to education and course selection, but they are not about the same courses.
I don't believe that the "people here can see into the future and tell you what is best." but as a forum "For those who code" It is safe to assume that as a community you are informed on things related to computer science and trends. I can safely assume that in general the average user has a more realistic and founded understanding of the discipline and can therefore help guide me. Sometimes a little guidance goes a long way. An informed decision is better than an uninformed decision, the president has advisers for this very reason.

I am using the word "safe" in the phrase "it is safe to assume" as meaning it is probabilistically likely. So it is probabilistically likely that users of this forum know more about CS and relevant topics than I do. This is a grounded assumption.
I believe a better version of what you strive to communicate is "there is risk involved in assumption", or "be careful when you assume"
my "safe" = probabalitically likely
your "safe" = risky/dangerous
So, we are using different meaning equivalents of the word "safe". Our statements are separate statements on the word assume.
So sometimes, it "Is safe to assume."
TLDR: our statements may seem contradictory, but they are just using different meaning for the word safe.
Words are fun.

Networking. Because in general it is more useful in a wider variety of business domains.
I suspect as well that it might give a better appreciation for what 'protocol' means in defining interfaces between different business "layers" (and I specifically mean that word in a very, very general sense.)

Personally I would have said Machine/Assembly Language as if you have never done any low level coding (assembly), Networking fundaments that does means you stand a greater chance of becoming a front end writer with no appreciation of what happens at low level and become a *B.NET programmer who over uses the phrase 'awesome' & 'dude'. 
my two cents, but hey if you can do both!

Do not be surprised if the subtle connection is transformed by your observing it.

PETA are flat out nuts. I am astounded at how easily girls agree to disrobe in public in order to help spread their lies and propaganda. The guy who runs it is clearly an evil genius.
