Basically the title. i haven’t been able to find anything of this class on OMSCentral, not many reviews on reddit either. has anyone taken this class? is it a relatively easy A?

i need to select a class for Fall that would help me get back to good academic standing. i understand there are other options but this is a 7 week course and i am expecting at the end of October so if its a relatively easy class i would love some insights

how are the quizzes (60% of the grade)
and the two tasks?

another option im considering is MGT 6203.

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with submitting documents for company tuition reimbursement programs. My company uses EdAssist, and I’m currently trying to submit reimbursement for the 2 courses I took last semester and they require fairly detailed documentation, including:

Education provider name,
School logo,
Website URL,
Session/term dates,
Proof of completion,
Number of credits,
Itemized tuition/cost breakdown

If you’ve gone through a similar process, how did you handle gathering and submitting all of this information? Were there specific documents from the university portal that worked best for approval?

Hi everyone,

I’m taking regression this summer and wanted to hear feedback from past students about the group project after the course was “revamped”. I’ve read the project guidelines and the project website but it is so unclear, confusing and contradicting I truly have no idea what it is asking. I’m so confused as to which parts are meant to be completed as a group and which parts are meant to be completed individually. I do not understand how someone can manage to explain a project so badly. Any past students have any advice?

Looking for some feedback on an approach to the class, as I already have a business background and there seems to be a lot of review content for me.

Is it necessary to watch the video lectures, if the Lecture Notes are given to us ahead of time?

I know we need to make countless flashcards to pass the exams, but if I have all the Lecture notes more or less memorized, should that be sufficient to pass the class?

As I am an incoming student for Fall 2026, what is the best way to get a research position in a lab or with a professor? Is it just by emailing ones that interest you or is there a better way and when is the ideal time to email?

I’m curious what everyone’s favorite classes are in the program. What courses are the “must takes” before graduating? What classes have helped you most on the job? I also wouldn’t mind hearing what classes to avoid at all costs if you have any

I'm trying to opt out of MGT 6201 since I have an MBA, but I'm not sure where to go to fill out the application and I never received an email to do so either. I've tried looking around everywhere, but I can't find anything.

Hi, I just wanted an opinion on whether y'all think ISYE 6414 (Regression) or ISYE 6644 (Simulation) is easier/more doable over the summer. I will be interning as well.

I received this email from office of registrar and I have already reached out to the academic program advisor but have not heard back from them.
Will I be dropped from the program and do I need file for readmission ? Need some advice

Good Afternoon,
Based on the grades you earned in the most recent term, you have been placed on Review. This is a temporary standing that makes you ineligible for registration. If no acceptable explanation is given within a reasonable time, your standing will be changed to Drop and all Summer and Fall 2026 courses removed. You can review your academic record online by logging in to Oscar (oscar.gatech.edu), clicking the "Students" tab and selecting the "Student Profile" tile. Click on "Registration Notices" in the top right corner of the screen.
You should contact your major school to determine the reason for the Review standing and determine what is required by that department to remove the Review status. If you have not removed the Review status by the end of registration for Summer 2026 (May 22, 2026), any courses you have registered for during the Phase I registration period will be cancelled. Please consult the General Catalog for scholastic standing information: http://catalog.gatech.edu/rules/6.
• Undergraduate students should contact their advisor through Navigate360: https://gatech.navigate.eab.com/
• Graduate students may find program contact information here: https://gradapp.gatech.edu/portal/program-info
After consulting with your advisor, if you have additional questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office atcomments@registrar.gatech.edu. Be sure to include your full name and nine-digit GTID in all correspondence.
Thank you,  
Registrar's Office

So, I've elected to take both these classes over the summer, kicking off tomorrow.

I am a full time engineer, so I can manage my time well and am very efficient at targeted studying. Is this workload going to push me to my limits, though? I made the decision to take two this summer because I'm expecting my first kid this fall, and I need to front load more before I have no time at all.

For some perspective, I took ISYE6501 in Fall 25 and made an A (but studied a lot) and passed CSE6040 this Spring with a 100% and didn't study a lot, since I do a lot of programming and SQL in my day job.

It's been 20 years since I had linear algebra (so CDA is a little scary to me) and I'm bad at memorization (so 6201 is a little scary to me, too). Did I bite off more than I can chew?

For those of you who took this course, what’s some good advice for studying for this course? Like what should I prioritize when studying for exams?

I just completed my practicum and logged in to see I was given a grade of a C. Prior to this course, I had a 4.0. I have also been given notice of an academic warning. It seems ridiculous to me that the practicum in its current format has ever been approved for this program. I completed an undergraduate capstone program as well at Tech and it was by far more professional and engaging. I submitted a midterm and final report for the Practicum and that is my entire grade and the entire involvement for the credit hour equivalent of two courses. I received no feedback beyond “add pictures. The Practicum has no structure. It’s bloated in credit hours. There is no feedback structure, no real method of continued engagement with staff (beyond like three offices hours the entire semester). For gods sake, you do not get any idea of what your grade is until grades are posted and the CIOS is closed. There’s zero room for learning how to do better until it is too late. It feels like zero effort was put into the development of the Practicum program. How did this get approved. I hated DVA but even DVA is a better capstone oriented program than Practicum. DVA has requirements, it has milestones, it has actual check ins from staff. I just paid $2000 to have my GPA drop and be told I’m bad when I had a 4.0 before.

Got a D in MGT 8803, but its showing up in degree works as a completed requirement. Is that correct?

Anyone from Bryan / College Station, Texas?? I’d love to connect!

Or should I push one back, to do them both separately over 2 semesters? I have heard from many folks that CDA is a very challenging and time consuming course, but I have heard varied things about the difficulty of practicum ranging from 'it's a joke and waste of time, and a breeze' to 'it could take a lot of time'.

Anyone have any insight on the curve that was applied to final grades in 6644 this Spring? I ended the class with a straight B and was kind of expecting a curve to an A based on previous semesters and some of the issues with the final and canvas. I had my final done before the outage and it seems like some students got to retake the final after seeing it already due to when the outage occurred, so I am feeling a little slighted...

Did anyone receive a grade for this class yet? It just says “I” on my unofficial transcript. Thanks in advance.

I have seen some discussion on this course here and it has led me to revisit taking it. I work in a role where there's lots of text data, and opportunity to work with social media posts about the brand if we can gather that data.

I looked at the syllabus and it gave a vague outline that sounds like it could support this, but no concrete list of topics covered by week. I'm taking ANLP this semester and am trying to assess if adding AUD after would make sense or if there's overlap.

I was originally planning on doing an employer sponsored project because I figured it would let me kill two birds with one stone and do something directly relevant to work at the same time.

But I’ve seen multiple people say that it’s generally better to do a Georgia Tech sponsored project instead, and now I’m wondering why that seems to be the common advice.

Is this actually the case? If so, what makes it better?

Specifically:
- Do Georgia Tech sponsored projects ever lead to opportunities with the sponsoring company afterward?
- Are those projects generally stronger from a resume or portfolio standpoint?
- If you do a GT sponsored project with a real company, are there usually restrictions around sharing the work publicly? I’d imagine some of the information, models, or data could be proprietary or covered under NDAs, so I’m wondering how that works if you want to use the project as a portfolio piece later.
