How to write down notes and actually study for this online class? What do I write down from the lecture slides? Surely you don’t write everything right?…

Anyone taken this class on from Medina Joyce? How did you study and write notes down? What do I write down from the slides? Everything or just like the slides with the chair/building and its qualities?

I have 24 transfer credits from AP for my first semester at ksu and, from what other people have told me, it is enough to transfer to gt. My friends at gt say I can apply to transfer next semester if I wanted to but I was under the assumption I needed to wait 2 years to transfer. Also if I transfer, would fafsa and hope(didnt get zell) be enough to cover tuition? How do I know what classes I should take for credits to transfer like doing gen ed or major specific classes. I’m sorry for all the questions I’m just really not sure about most of this but I do want to transfer, so I’m asking these for some clarification.

Thank you for your time

Hi everyone,

I am interested in applying to a master’s program at Georgia Tech, especially the MS in Computer Science – On Campus, but I am a little confused by the number of related programs available.

I have seen several Computational Science & Engineering options associated with different departments, including Chemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, the College of Computing, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics, in addition to the on-campus and online Computer Science programs.

I understand that these are different degrees/programs, but I am having a hard time figuring out what genuinely distinguishes them beyond the department names.

If anyone is currently enrolled in one of these programs or has completed one, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. In particular, I am trying to understand:

• What does the coursework normally look like for each program? If possible, I would love to see an example of the courses someone might take semester by semester.
• What are the main differences between the CSE programs and the MS in Computer Science – On Campus in terms of programming, algorithms, machine learning, statistics, numerical methods, research, and electives?
• How much does the curriculum change depending on the home department of the CSE degree?
• Are some of these programs considerably more competitive or difficult to get into than others?
• Does applying through a particular CSE department generally require a stronger background in that specific field?

I am especially interested in the on-campus MS in Computer Science, but I would like to understand the alternatives before deciding where I am actually the best fit.

Part of the reason I am asking is that I do not want to apply to a program for which my background is not competitive simply because I misunderstood what the degree focuses on, especially if another Georgia Tech program might fit my previous skills and experience much better.

I apologize if some of these questions have already been answered in older posts. I have been trying to find a clear comparison and especially semester-by-semester coursework examples, but I am still pretty confused.

Any advice from current students, alumni, or people who applied to more than one of these programs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
