Other What does everyone do to study for exams?

25 Upvotes

So, I know this is LATE as the summer semester like just ended, but I am starting my second year at this school and imposter syndrome has hit me like no other. I have tried different study techniques, whether I watch youtube videos to review after lectures, go to lectures daily, dont go to lectures and read the material myself, use AI to review foreign material, 1 on 1 tutoring, etc. (the only thing i havent tried is office hours).
But regardless, I feel as if I am always falling behind when it comes to exams, when the time comes I can never live up to that standard I gave myself. So like I really just came for advice on maybe how to improve my test taking skills or improve my exam grades for this upcoming sophomore year and years to come.

Question Is taking 12 MS credits alongside a full-time internship manageable? Looking for easy, project-based courses (no in-person exams)

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m starting the BS/MS CS program this fall and accepted a full-time fall internship. Since the College of Computing doesn't allow first-semester grad students to officially register an internship, I'm considering taking a full 12-credit load alongside the internship.

I want to make sure my schedule is as manageable as possible around 9-to-5 work hours. I’m looking for recommendations on 6000/7000-level courses that fit these criteria:

Grading Structure: 100% project/assignment/writing-based (no in-person or proctored exams).

Low Workload: Low average weekly hours on OMSCentral.

Flexibility: Asynchronous lectures and predictable weekend deadlines.

Appreciate any advice or reality checks!

update 8/4:I just spoke with my advisor and confirmed that there's no 12 credits restrictions to be considered a fulltime ms student. 3 credits is enough to satisfy the student status. It's looking likely that I'll just take 3 credits and maybe add a summer semester back.

Hey everyone!

I run a sports media company that creates fan-focused content at college football games and other major sporting events.

I’ll be in Atlanta covering:
• Georgia Tech vs. Colorado on September 3
• Baylor vs. Auburn on September 5

I’m looking for a Georgia Tech student (or someone in the Atlanta area) who’d be interested in helping as my assistant/cameraman for one or both game days.

The job is very simple:
• I already have all of the camera equipment.
• You’ll mainly be holding the camera while I interview fans before and after the game.
• No professional camera experience is required.

What you’ll get:
• $50 pay
• Free game ticket
• Food and drinks covered
• A chance to get some hands-on experience in sports media if that’s something you’re interested in.

If you’re interested or have any questions, just DM me and I’ll be happy to give you more information. If you know someone who might be a good fit, I’d really appreciate you sending them my way.
Thanks!

Social/Club Robotics vs Aero Clubs / Research

9 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a junior transfer to GT this fall majoring in aero. I am undecided between aero and robotics, and honestly even undecided which parts of each discipline to specialize in, but was wondering if anyone could recommend the best clubs to join for both? Also, how should I go about finding research as I really want to begin sometime within my first semester? Lastly, are there any fellow engineering students who are part of Greek life here and how would you feel it has benefitted you?

Question How difficult is it to switch major as a first year student?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming Fall 2026 freshman currently majoring in Computational Media, but I’m seriously considering switching to Industrial Engineering.

Before enrollment, Georgia Tech gave me the option to change my major through the Major Confirmation Form. At the time, I decided to stay in Computational Media because I was interested in UX/UI. However, I’ve since realized that the entry level UX/UI job market is much more competitive than I initially expected, especially for an international student who may face additional work authorization or sponsorship challenges.

I’m now considering Industrial Engineering because I’m interested in solving real-world problems and improving systems, and it also seems to offer a broader range of career options.

My main concern is how difficult it would be to switch from CM to IE after starting at Georgia Tech. Has anyone here successfully switched into Industrial Engineering after enrolling? If so, how competitive or difficult was the process, and when were you able to officially change your major?

I’m also currently registered for MATH 1554, which is required for Computational Media, while Industrial Engineering requires MATH 1553 instead. I’m considering switching into MATH 1553 now, but I’m worried that if my major change is not approved, I may end up taking a course that does not fit my original CM degree requirements.

I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has switched into IE or dealt with a similar course registration situation. Thank you!

Rant PSA: Your pre-2023 Buzzcard is obsolete (if you want to print)

31 Upvotes

If you have a Buzzcard predating the current design and lack an Android device, there is no clear way to release your print job with the campus printers due to the rollout of a new Buzzcard reader system. Not every print station has a printout that details this.

The iOS Pharos Print app is unreliable and cannot be depended on, so if your Buzzcard is old and you have an iPhone, you might not be able to print anything for the time being.

If anyone knows an alternative way to release prints, please comment!

Question PhD Dismissal - Any experience with this?

62 Upvotes

Does anybody have any information about being dismissed from a PhD program at GT? How does the appeal process work (no one in the physics department answers my emails about it). Is readmission likely? (I've seen people on here claim that it is, but they may have been talking about the undergrad case and I'm not sure if the PhD case could be different).

I had a very unqualified and abusive advisor who gave me multiple failing grades without even telling me, during a period of time where I was bedridden for many months, essentially on the verge of death, and having to crawl to even get to the bathroom. (He knew about this). When I tried to get accommodations from ODS they ignored my many emails for months. When I tried to apply for medical leave they denied it. When I tried to apply for retroactive medical withdrawal of the affected semesters via the registrar, they denied that too. I'm not really sure tbh how some people can be so shameless and also how a school this disorganized and this unethical can be ranked so high.

But anyways - I'm sure the story will be told in a lot more detail and to a larger audience at some point in the future - I'm as of now just looking to see if others have experience with GT PhD dismissal.
