I completed the OMSCS program last year at a moderate pace (1 course per semester, except for 2 semesters where I took 2 courses). I did not avoid "hard" classes if I thought I'd learn something interesting and some of the courses are legitimately a lot of work. I think in particular Advanced Operating Systems and Compilers Theory and Practice took the heaviest toll on me. The projects for those classes were very time consuming and at a few points I was pulling 40 hours a week after my full time job to get them done.
