r/GatechClasses

I got Omojokun for CS 1331 this semester. His rmp rating is not that good, so I'm scared lol. Can anyone who had him for CS 1331 give their opinion on him as a professor?

I want to drop enough of these classes to where I'll have time to lock in on recruiting, projects, and leetcode to secure an internship. Anyone have any info on these classes, I can provide more info later as needed like professors. CS 3251, 3510, 4400, 3790, and 4641

I am also doing a 2 credit VIP as well, I want to make sure this course load is manageable to give me plenty of time to prepare for leetcode & recruiting. I would prefer to keep 3251 and 3510 over the others because they are prereqs for later class, but primarily 3510 because it locks several of the later intel thread courses. lmk what your thoughts are!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for some easy, low effort Humanities classes at Tech. Ideally, I’m looking for classes where it’s relatively easy to get an A without having a crazy workload.

What Humanities classes have you taken that you’d recommend for an easy A/manageable workload?

hello. i registered for the linear algebra class that satisfied 4 credit hours. my friends just told me they all signed up for the 2 credit version. how do i decide which one i should take? in what situation should someone take either class? what are the pros and cons and which one should a computer engineering student take? thank you sorry if this is a bad question i just want to be ready for phase two.

I recently switched my major to CMPE and requires MATH 1554 for linear algebra credit. I just finished MATH 1553 this summer which won't cover it, so I have a few options for this. Wanted to know if people who might have taken these, which should I do? I've heard that the exam should be fine if I retain what i learned from 1553 but I wanted to see what you guys think is the best option.

1)Take MATH 1554. 
2)Take MATH 3406 any time before you graduate and sub it with MATH 1553 for MATH 1554.
3)Take the bridge to 1554 advanced standing exam

Is it self doom? I wanted to do prereqs incase I change my major later.

Greetings everyone! I’m looking for some advice, especially from anyone who has taken Calc II and Physics I in the same summer to meet transfer requirements (which is probably super unfeasible).

I’m starting at KSU on August 24 as a Mechanical Engineering major, and I currently have a Spring 2028 Georgia Tech pathway. However, I’m starting in Precalculus instead of Calc I, so I’m already a little behind the normal ME course sequence. My SAT was a 1240 and I was 10 points below the Calculus placement requirement for KSU so the only work around was the ALEKS.

I took the ALEKS practice placement test and got about a 40 first time. I’ve had been working through the ALEKS modules, but until about a day ago I could only use my brother’s laptop to practice and have been slacking the past week (accepting my fate). I finally have my own laptop now, so I can study more consistently. Even though I could knock out some more modules there are 186 left and I realize just how rusty my trig and algebra are. Ik I dont gotta do em all but I dont know about accepting my fate.

My concern is that my Spring 2028 pathway has a course requirement deadline around mid-September 2027. Since I’m starting with Precalc, I would potentially have to do something like:

• Fall 2026: Precalculus and Chem/Chem Lab
• Spring 2027: Calc I and other gen eds
• Summer 2027: Calc II + Physics I/Lab...
• Complete pathway requirements before 2027 fall semester
• Spring 2028: Transfer to GT

Is this a dumb idea and should I just transfer normally? I know GT is one of my end goals for undergrad but should I really rush it like this? I know GT will be miles harder and I dont want to be ill prepared.

I’m trying to decide whether I should push hard to preserve the pathway, even if it means accelerating and potentially sacrificing some understanding/GPA, or accept that I may lose the pathway and spend two years at KSU building a stronger foundation before applying to GT through regular transfer.

I also plan to retake ALEKS after more review. I was thinking about going through my next test afterward and reviewing/copying the problems I missed so I can study those concepts, but I’m not sure if that’s the best approach. Should I just keep grinding the ALEKS modules and use online practice tests to focus specifically on my weak algebra/trig areas?

School starts August 24, and most of the Calc classes are already full, so right now I’m waiting to see what happens during add/drop.

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation, especially KSU → GT ME students. Should I keep fighting for the Spring 2028 pathway, or just accept that this ship has sailed and focus on doing well at KSU first?

Hello, I am an international student that is trying to figure out how to pay for gt electrical engineering course. Can you please tell me if this is possible?

1st year : two semesters of study. 2nd year: one semester study one semester co op. 3rd year: one semester study one semester co op. 4th year: one semester study one semester co op. so basiclaly im trying to graduate within 5 semesters because im trying to lower the tuition fee so that its managable. Is that a thing? I also did cie alevels and have A*A*A* in maths phys chem and A in furthermaths so i was wondering if i could skip some classes.

I want to transfer via repp but 4.3% seems absurd, at that point a regular transfer would be better no?

Any international sttudent currently at gt, how are u affording the tuition? Can you please break the specifics of co op and part time work down?

Hi, I’m an incoming freshman at gsu hoping to join the REP pathway. I understand in recent years the pathway has changed from its guaranteed acceptance(above a certain gpa) system, to a pathway that increases your chances at being accepted. So, I was just wondering around how many people are accepted into gt from REP partner schools, how difficult has it in recent years, and does the acceptance rate differ from school to school? And outside of academics, how impactful or advanced do the ECs have to be?

All the posts I’ve found on this topic were outdated from the old system years ago, so I’m just gonna shoot my shot here. Thank you so much for all your help in advance!!

like i obv won’t overload the server with every minute but like maybe a every 10minute check?

Here are the classes I'm planning to take as an incoming freshman (AE major)

MATH 1553

PHYS 2211

ENGL 1102

ME 1670

i want to round it out with a humanities class to make it 15 creds, thinking PHIL 3109 (eng ethics) or PHIL 3140 (philosophy of food), but does anyone have any recommendations?

I skipped FASET because I was out of country at the time, so I'm doing all my registration in Phase 2. I know I might have trouble getting some of these but what are my chances when it comes to that?

Also any other advice for this schedule would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

i'm looking to take an easy but also somewhat interesting humanities class to round out my freshman schedule. i'd prefer if it was an in-person class over a virtual one.

Hey all, i took a class this summer, there was a class participation/attendance component.

I put a significant effort and a lot of initiatives on the group project component (separate from class participation), voluntarily produced more work there, which was not reflected on the grades - rather I got the lowest grade in the project part - due to late attendance. I have told the instructor this after final grades were released.

Also for attendance I am in my final semester giving interviews - they haven't excused me for any interview days or late attendance days, as it is not institute approved absence - which also reduced my grade.

I am only 2% away from the next grade.

Did anyone face this - if so how did you resolve this?

16 credits total

Registering for classes this sem and plan on taking 17 credits. would i have to pay for the 2 credit hours over 15, or would the ga resident scholarship still cover that tuition?
