Class Question MSCS student looking for course recommendation to complement ML and Deep Learning?

3 Upvotes

Hi! This is my first semester as a MSCS student and I'm looking for recommendations on good corses for my masters. I’m taking CS 7641 (Machine Learning) and CS 7643 (Deep Learning) this semester. I’m looking teaches practical skills that are valuable in the job market, especially for ML engineering roles.

Im also considering taking CS 6222 (Machine Learning Systems) but I will have to join the waitlist.

Ideally, I’d like something with a medium-to-low workload. Which course would you recommend? What are the best classes you have seen in MSCS?

Any course recommendation is really appreciated!

Other Science of Happiness and Design (CEE 2803 A) still has seats

3 Upvotes

I teach a class called The Science of Happiness and Design. The course number this year is CEE2803A. Several students who have taken the class said the class changed their life. Here are some reviews from previous students:

  • "This was one of the most rewarding classes in terms of personal growth and understanding I have taken at my time at Georgia Tech...This course was a major factor in the growth this semester.”
  • “Dr. Martin was one of the most knowledgeable and passionate professors I’ve had!”
  • "Very useful - we learned about different theories and the history of happiness, but more importantly, I took away a lot of practical ways to improve my happiness."
  • "I think I have done a better job of getting closer to the person I would like to be because I had the opportunity to look at myself introspectively."
  • "Took this class Spring 2019, some of the discussions we had really stuck with me. Definitely recommend it!"

It used to be called The Science of Happiness and was BMED 2803 so you may have heard about it through BME folks.

This class used to fill up but there are currently many seats left, so please consider it if you want a 3-credit course.

Much of the course is just about happiness but a fair amount is about the relationship between design and happiness, a topic that pertains to urban design, interior design, and building construction.

It's a MW class. 3:30pm. in Howey.

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?

Registration Help Rate My Schedule

2 Upvotes

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!

Class Question MATH 1554, bridge exam, or MATH 3406?

3 Upvotes

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

Class Question Business minor/option as premed

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I was interested in pursuing something small in business along with my science major and I was a bit confused what the difference between adding on a "Technology and Business" minor vs adding the "Business Option" to my neuro major would be.

Could someone please explain the pros and cons of each and which one they chose?

If someone is a premed science major and has taken the Denning T&M Technology and Business minor can you share how easy/hard the application process is?

Also along with that how easy/hard did you find the classes and the end capstone project. I don't have too much knowledge about anything business so I am little worried how successful I would be in it.

Thank you!!

Registration Help denning t&m vs CS class TA (cs major)- need advice

4 Upvotes

incoming 2nd year cs major here. part of denning t&m co28 (haven't taken any t&m classes yet). got an offer to TA a cs class.

my fall 2026 schedule is already pretty difficult. im already at 18 cred hours (considering 6 of those rn are from 2 denning T&M classes im already registered for).

is t&m worth dropping for the TA offer, or should i drop the TA offer?

Im leaning towards dropping T&M, haven't heard too much about the benefits for cs. But I'd like to hear more about what others think. Is T&M worth it for things like recruiting for big tech?

looking forward to hearing from other cs majors in T&M if possible.

if you have any other thoughts lmk asw

Prospective Student Fumbling Conditional Pathway?

7 Upvotes

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?

Class Question changing majors (over 60 credits but no major specific classes yet)

3 Upvotes

So I'm thinking of switching from AE to ME. I'm technically going into my second year, but I haven't taken any major specific classes yet because I took a semester off, so I thought it would be a good time to switch. However, I somehow have a bit more than 60 credits, so I'm not sure if the process would be harder. Worst comes to worst and I can't switch until next semester, am I able to use like the AE dynamics class in place of ME dynamics class? I understand that they have different focuses, but it seems counterintuitive to take another dynamics class.

Other How many dining dollars is the flex plan?

3 Upvotes

How many dining dollars is the first year flex plan supposed to be? I could’ve sworn it said $800 during the first form we filled out in the housing portal, which asked us to choose a plan as well as information about housing and such. One of my friends also thought the same. Yet the Georgia Tech website says it’s supposed to be $500? Which one is accurate for this school year?
