<div>This page is dedicated for '''frequently asked questions''' by incoming '''freshmen''' and their answers.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
<br />
==== When should I begin thinking about my schedule? ====<br />
You do not need to begin thinking about your schedule until early summer.<ref group="Note">If you are doing [[iGniTe]], then you should determine which courses you will be taking over the summer in late spring rather than early summer.</ref> Usually in early June, your major's department or an advisor will reach out to you by email to assist you in scheduling. However, note that there are other [[Scheduling#Resources|resources]] that you can use to plan your schedule, and ''you'' will be the one registering for classes, not your advisor. In addition, it never hurts to start planning early, and there is nothing preventing you from planning your schedule well before the summer, just that this is ''not'' required.<br />
<br />
==== When will class registration occur? ====<br />
Class registration for incoming freshmen occurs during [[FASET]], which usually takes place during the summer.<ref group="Note">FASET for [[iGniTe]] students occurs during late spring; however, iGniTe students will still register for fall courses during a specified time in the summer.</ref><br />
<br />
==== How do I check what AP, IB, dual enrollment, etc. credit I have received? ====<br />
The best way to check which classes/requirements that you have credit for is through [https://degreeaudit.gatech.edu/ Degree Works]. However, you may not have access to Degree Works until the early summer, so if you want to know prior to then, you can look through the equivalency tables for [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/advanced-placement-exams/ AP exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/international-baccalaureate-exams/ IB exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/a-levels/ A-levels], and/or [https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-credit transfer credit] to determine what credit you have.<br />
<br />
==== I am considered to be a sophomore by credit hours, what does this entail? ====<br />
The registrar formally classifies students by the criteria below:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+<br />
!Total Credit Hours<br />
!Class<br />
|-<br />
|0-29<br />
|Freshman<br />
|-<br />
|30-59<br />
|Sophomore<br />
|-<br />
|60-89<br />
|Junior<br />
|-<br />
|90+<br />
|Senior<br />
|}<br />
The main usage for this system is registration priority. Students are grouped into "classes," and classes with higher number of credit hours register for classes sooner. However, in [[FASET]], the initial phase of freshmen registration, registration priority is typically not assigned, and the registrar opens new seats for common freshmen classes throughout all time tickets.<br />
<br />
Apart from registration priority, being classified as a sophomore or higher by credit hours means very little, especially since it is common among incoming freshmen with lots of AP or other credit coming in. For most purposes, such as freshmen housing, students are grouped by the number of years they have attended Georgia Tech as undergraduate students (i.e. first-years, second-years, etc.).<br />
<br />
==== What are time tickets? ====<br />
Time tickets are assigned during every registration phase and indicate the time frame for which you may register for classes.<br />
<br />
==== Why does some credit display as XXXX, 1XXX, etc.? ====<br />
Credit listed with X's typically means that Georgia Tech offers no course equivalent to that credit but usually still recognizes the credit.<ref group="Note">Some credit listed with X's may not count towards your degree, even as free elective credit. This credit is called "fallthrough" credit. To determine whether the credit is fallthrough or not, you should either consult your major's requirements page or check Degree Works to see if the credit is listed as fallthrough credit.</ref> This credit is typically designated as free elective credit, and it may ''not'' be used in place of an equivalently numbered course. For example, a [[CS]] major cannot use CS 1XXX credit in place of [[CS 1301]].<br />
<br />
==== What are free electives? ====<br />
Most majors require students to take a certain number of free elective credit. Any course offered by Georgia Tech, with few exceptions, may be used to satisfy this credit. Some majors may place certain restrictions on free elective credit, such as requiring a certain number of credit to come from 2000-level or higher courses.<br />
<br />
==== What classes I should take during my freshmen year? ====<br />
Please consult this [[Scheduling#First-Year Guide|guide]].<br />
<br />
==== How many credit hours should I register for in my first semester? ====<br />
Unless you are coming in with almost no credits, you should avoid registering for over 16 credits. 15 credit hours, or about 5 classes, is recommended, while you can take 12-13 credits for a lighter first semester. You should also avoid registering for under 12 credits, as 12 credit hours is the minimum to be considered a full-time student. However, not all classes are equal in difficulty, so the number of credit hours that you are taking should not be the primary basis for your schedule. A 16 credit semester may be lighter than a 12 credit semester, but this is uncommon.<br />
<br />
==== Should I retake courses that I already have credit for? ====<br />
Never retake courses unless there is an extremely niche reason for doing so. While you may not feel comfortable with all the material in courses that they already have credit for, you can always review the material. which is a much better option than retaking entire courses. Retaking a course does not guarantee that you will fully learn the material, risks the possibility of a low grade, and takes time away from other courses required to graduate.<br />
<br />
==== What is a prerequisite chain? ====<br />
A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain among engineering majors is [[PHYS 2211]] to [[PHYS 2212]] to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc.<br />
<br />
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, electrical engineering majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Scheduling''' refers to information about class registration.<br />
<br />
== Registration Phases ==<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech occurs over multiple phases. In each phase, eligible students will receive a time ticket, which indicates a certain time frame for when students can add and drop classes.<ref name=":0">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/time-tickets</ref> Check the Registrar's [https://registrar.gatech.edu/calendar academic calendar] for the exact dates of each registration phase.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 1 ====<br />
Continuing students begin course registration for the next semester in the semester prior.<ref name=":1">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-faqs</ref> Registration for spring classes occurs in the fall, usually around October and November, and registration for fall and summer classes occurs in the spring, usually around March. Time tickets in phase 1 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==== FASET ====<br />
New students and transfer students begin course registration during their orientation ([[FASET]]). Students will register with their FASET group, and FASET leaders, advisors, and the Registrar will be available to help students during class registration. The order in which FASET groups register for classes has ''not'' been observed to depend on incoming credits.<br />
<br />
==== Phase "AP" ====<br />
Phase "AP" is a special registration phase intended for students who have not received their test scores by their FASET date. Phase AP typically occurs in late July, and time tickets are given to ''all'' incoming students who had their FASET before Phase AP. In 2021, all students received the same time ticket except for [[iGniTe]] students, who received earlier time tickets but still at a consistent time.<br />
<br />
Phase AP allows students to register for courses that have prerequisites satisfied by AP credit. Students may not register for classes without the proper prerequisites, unless given a prerequisite override.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/prerequisite-checks</ref> Students who are eligible for Phase AP should be sure to send their test scores to Georgia Tech so that they are received before students' time tickets open.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 2 ====<br />
Phase 2 is the last registration phase for all students, beginning about a week before classes start and ending after the first week of classes. The first week of classes, known as "syllabus week," overlaps with phase 2 registration and gives students an opportunity to drop out of courses without a "W" appearing on their transcripts.<ref name=":1" /><ref group="Note">Students who drop a course after phase 2 registration has ended ''will'' receive a "W" on their transcript for that course.</ref> Typically, professors do not give much work during this week, making this a great time to decide whether to remain in a course based on the syllabus, professor style, etc. As a result, [[waitlists]] tend to move a lot during this phase.<br />
<br />
Time tickets in phase 2 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /> However, earlier time tickets in phase 2 are not as advantageous since spots usually become available due to students dropping courses, and most students are able to get all the classes they need during phase 2, even if they have a rough experience in phase 1 or FASET.<br />
<br />
== Course Number ==<br />
Course numbers indicate certain information about courses, such as the year that they are typically taken in. Note that the conventions below are general and should not be used as a strict rule. For example, a couple 3000-level classes, such as [[MATH 3012]], are sometimes taken by freshmen despite the convention listed below.<br />
<br />
The letters preceding the four digit number indicate which department offers the course. For example, [[CS 1301]] is a course offered by the college of computing.<br />
<br />
The first digit indicates which year the class is typically taken in. Course numbers in the form 1XXX are generally freshman classes, 2XXX are generally classes that build on freshman classes, 3XXX classes go into specific major material, and 4XXX classes are generally high level technical classes. Transfer courses on the transfer equivalency table listed as 1XXX, 2XXX, etc. may be used as free electives.<br />
<br />
Subsequent digits indicate other information about a course, such as if it is a course reserved for special topics. A more comprehensive [https://registrar.gatech.edu/files/course-numbering-system.pdf guide] to course numbering is provided by the Registrar.<br />
<br />
=== Course Reference Number ===<br />
Each section in a course has its own unique identification number, called a "Course Reference Number" (CRN). This number is typically five digits long and is separate from the overall course number. CRNS are primarily used for class registration.<ref name=":2">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-information</ref><br />
<br />
== Permits, Overrides, and Overloads ==<br />
https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/permits-and-overloads<br />
<br />
== Registration Hold ==<br />
Registration holds prevent students from adding and dropping classes during their time ticket. To view registration holds, go to "Registration Status" in OSCAR, select the applicable term, and click "View Holds" at the bottom of the page. If any holds are present, students must complete the given steps or contact the department that gave the hold to clear it. If no holds are present for a student, then they may register for classes during their time ticket.<ref name=":02">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/holds</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Linked Course ===<br />
A linked course is a course that has both a lecture section and an additional section, such as a lab, studio, or recitation. Both sections must be registered for simultaneously. This [https://www.me.gatech.edu/files/ug/linkedclasses.pdf guide] made by the [[Mechanical Engineering|ME]] department provides more information about linked courses and is applicable to all majors.<br />
<br />
=== Testing Period ===<br />
<br />
=== Shared Test Period ===<br />
Some classes have a shared test period, such as [[PHYS 2211]] and [[PHYS 2212|2212]]. This shows up in a schedule as a single time block during the week and is usually very late in the day. However, most students will only have 2-5 tests per class, so it will not be used most weeks.<br />
<br />
=== Free Electives ===<br />
Free electives can be satisfied by any course, with the exception of equivalent courses. For example, if a student has taken [[MATH 1554]], then they cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[MATH 1564]], and an aerospace engineering student cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[ME 2202]], since they already have to take their version of dynamics, [[AE 2220]].<br />
<br />
Some free elective credit is restricted to 2000-level courses and higher, so courses with a number in the form 1XXX cannot satisfy this credit. All requirements can be viewed in Degree Works.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisite Chain ===<br />
A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain among engineering majors is PHYS 2211 to PHYS 2212 to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc.<br />
<br />
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, [[Electrical Engineering|electrical engineering]] majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page.<br />
<br />
== First-Year Guide ==<br />
<br />
=== Scheduling ===<br />
Each department typically sends out information about advising via email before FASET, so students should complete all instructions there first. All incoming students should receive a suggested schedule from their advisor by the end of this process. If not, students can fill out their schedules using the instructions below. These instructions are also applicable for students who already have a suggested schedule, as advisors are just one source of information.<br />
<br />
Before determining which classes to take, students should check which credits they already have. This can be done by looking at the classes and requirements checked off in [https://degreeaudit.gatech.edu/ Degree Works]. If a student's test scores or transfer credit have not been received by Georgia Tech yet, the classes and requirements they fulfill will ''not'' show as completed in Degree Works.<ref group="Note">Students should make sure that they sent their scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in order to receive credit. If not, scores should be sent immediately.</ref> This means that should a student attempt to register for classes that have prerequisites satisfied by those credits, OSCAR will display a prerequisite error.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error-messages</ref> If needed, students can request [[Scheduling#Permits, Overrides, and Overloads|prerequisite overrides]] if they already know their scores. Equivalency tables for [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/advanced-placement-exams/ AP exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/international-baccalaureate-exams/ IB exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/a-levels/ A-levels], and [https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-credit transfer credit] show which credits may be earned.<br />
<br />
After checking completed credits, students should look at their majors' requirements. A selection of [[Scheduling#Resources|resources]] for major requirements and prerequisites is listed on this page. Based on these requirements and prerequisites, students should create a schedule. While 12 is the minimum number of credit hours to be considered a full-time student, any schedule with more than 16 credit hours is not recommended for first-year students, unless they are coming in with no credits.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/enrollment-status</ref> 15 credits (about 5 classes) is recommended, but take 12-13 credits (about 4 classes) for a lighter load first semester. In addition, follow the guidelines below:<br />
<br />
* ''Never retake courses unless there is an extremely niche reason for doing so.'' While students may not feel comfortable with all the material in courses that they already have credit for, material can always be reviewed, which is a much better option than retaking entire courses. Retaking a course does not guarantee that the material is fully learned, risks the possibility of a low grade, and takes time away from other courses required to graduate.<br />
* Avoid taking a [[chemistry]], [[calculus]], and [[Computer Science|computer science]] class together, as taking all three at once can be a lot of work. A similar guideline applies for math: avoid taking more than 4 credits worth of core math classes at once.<br />
* Labs tend to be very time-consuming, so avoid taking more than one class with a lab section in a semester, with an exception for science majors.<br />
* If possible, take at least one non-STEM class to prevent a difficult semester, but make sure to not take too many. Save some humanities, social sciences, and free electives for more difficult semesters in the future.<br />
* Students should try to take classes that are big prerequisites for their major. For example, computer science majors should take [[CS 1301]] and [[CS 1331]] as early as possible, and mechanical engineering majors should take [[PHYS 2211]] and [[COE 2001]] as early as possible. More specific guides can be found on [[:Category:Majors|major]] wiki pages.<br />
* Be sure to have backup classes, as getting every class with the best professors and times is not always possible.<br />
<br />
Finally, students should check their schedule with current students. The Georgia Tech [https://discord.com/invite/gt Discord server] is a great place to do this. Another important point to remember is that Georgia Tech requires no prior knowledge for any major beyond what is learned in high school, ''so there is no need to review or learn any material before classes start.''<br />
<br />
=== Registration ===<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech is done via [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR], short for "Online Student Computer Assisted Registration." To access OSCAR, first sign in via the "Secure Access Login" link. Then, click on "Student Services & Financial Aid" followed by "Registration." This page is the registration menu, which provides several helpful links for class registration.<br />
<br />
Classes can only be added and dropped during a student's time ticket.<ref name=":0" /> To view time ticket information, click "Registration Status" and select the fall term. In addition, OSCAR will show if a student has [[Scheduling#Registration Hold|registration holds]] or not on this page.<br />
<br />
Even though classes can only be added or dropped during students' time tickets, students may view availability for all classes at any time by selecting "Look Up Classes" in the registration menu. The Registrar provides [https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-assistance information] on how to interpret class data in OSCAR. During a student's time ticket, they will also be able to add and drop courses via these pages.<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
Another method for class registration is to click "Add/Drop Classes" in the registration menu. [[Scheduling#Course Reference Number|Course Reference Numbers]] (CRNs) can be entered all at once, allowing for quicker registration. Of course, "Add/Drop Classes" can only be used during a time ticket.<ref name=":2" /><br />

<br />
=== CIOS Survey Data Guide ===<br />
To view [https://gatech.smartevals.com/ CIOS survey data], log in when prompted and click "See Results" at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
The survey data provides unique information about how much time the median student spends per week on a course, which can help gauge the workload of a class. While this information can be extremely useful, avoid using these numbers as hard facts.<br />
<br />
Other survey data indicates the quality of a course, rated on a scale of 1-5, the quality of a professor's teaching, and the percentage of classes attended. The prevalence and incentives surrounding CIOS survey completion may make CIOS survey data a more reliable resource than Rate My Professors.<br />
<br />
Incoming freshmen and teaching assistants (TAs) may not be able to view the survey data.<br />
<br />
=== GT Scheduler Guide ===<br />
To use [https://www.gt-scheduler.org/ GT Scheduler], follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
First, select the desired term in the top left corner of the screen. The term should default to the next term.<br />
<br />
Next, add classes by entering course numbers in the top left dialogue box. Added courses will be displayed in a list on the left side of the screen, and time blocks will automatically be filled in the calendar located on the right side of the screen. In between the course list and calendar, a list of all possible permutations of a schedule that contains the entered courses will be displayed. This list of schedules can be sorted by compactness, earliest ending time, or latest beginning time.<br />
<br />
The letters and numbers to the right of a course number indicate the section and subsection selected. Each section has its own professor and lecture periods. Some sections may share a professor, but they will have different lecture periods. Subsections differ in TAs and time periods.<br />
<br />
To view a course's prerequisites, select the second icon at the top right of a course on the added courses menu. The drop down menu that appears after selecting the icon will have an information icon that links to [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR]. OSCAR is the most accurate source for prerequisite information, so it is best to always double check a course's prerequisites on OSCAR. In addition, check OSCAR for additional information about a course or section, such as campus, major, concentration, and LLC restrictions.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''FASET''' is the orientation program for new students, where they receive academic advisement, register for first semester classes, and become familiarized with undergraduate curriculum, programs, and campus services. Attending FASET costs $115, and it has traditionally taken place on campus over two days, accommodating parents and siblings. Out-of-state and international students may choose a FASET session right before the semester starts so they can stay on campus afterwards.<br />
<br />
Due to COVID-19, GT has given the opportunity for students in 2021 to choose between in-person and virtual FASET sessions, ranging from June to August for students not doing [[iGniTe]].<ref>https://transitionprograms.gatech.edu/content/fall-first-year-students</ref><br />
<br />
== Course Registration ==<br />
<br />
=== Preparation ===<br />
To prepare for course registration, students should plan out a [[Scheduling#First-Year Guide|schedule]] before their FASET session. Be sure that all test scores, including AP, IB, SAT, ACT, A-levels, etc., have been sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and confirm that they have been received by checking [https://degreeaudit.gatech.edu/ Degree Works].<br />
<br />
If students' test scores have not been received yet, then they can request [[Scheduling#Permits, Overrides, and Overloads|prerequisite overrides]] provided that they have proof of their scores. Requesting an override without proof will most likely be unsuccessful, and should a student attempt to register for classes that have prerequisites satisfied by those credits, [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR] will display a prerequisite error.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error-messages</ref><br />
<br />
=== Registration ===<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech is done via OSCAR, short for "Online Student Computer Assisted Registration." To access OSCAR, first sign in via the "Secure Access Login" link. Then, click on "Student Services & Financial Aid" followed by "Registration." This page is the registration menu, and provides several helpful links for class registration.<br />
<br />
Classes can only be added and dropped during a student's time ticket.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/time-tickets</ref> To view time ticket information, click "Registration Status" and select the fall term. In addition, OSCAR will show if a student has [[Scheduling#Registration Hold|registration holds]] or not on this page.<br />
<br />
Even though classes can only be added or dropped during students' time tickets, students may view availability for all classes at any time by selecting "Look Up Classes" in the registration menu. The Registrar provides [https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-assistance information] on how to interpret class data in OSCAR. During a student's time ticket, they will also be able to add and drop courses via these pages.<ref name=":0">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-information</ref><br />
<br />
Another method for class registration is to click "Add/Drop Classes" in the registration menu. [[Scheduling#Course Reference Number|Course Reference Numbers]] (CRNs) can be entered all at once, allowing for quicker registration. Of course, "Add/Drop Classes" can only be used during a time ticket.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
=== Additional Information ===<br />
Students will register with their FASET group, and FASET leaders, advisors, and the Registrar will be available to help students during class registration. The order in which FASET groups register for classes has ''not'' been observed to depend on incoming credits. In addition, spots for common first-year classes will open during or before each FASET, so an earlier FASET date does not give an advantage unless registering for upper-level courses, which will not have many spots available anyways.<br />
<br />
Many students are unable to get all the classes that they want during FASET, and this is completely normal. Students will have another chance to register for classes during [[Phase 2]]. Students who do not attend FASET will begin course registration during Phase 2, and students still awaiting test scores on their FASET date will be given an additional time ticket for [[Scheduling#Phase "AP"|Phase "AP"]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Scheduling''' refers to information about class registration.<br />
<br />
== Registration Phases ==<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech occurs over multiple phases. In each phase, eligible students will receive a time ticket, which indicates a certain time frame for when students can add and drop classes.<ref name=":0">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/time-tickets</ref> Check the Registrar's [https://registrar.gatech.edu/calendar academic calendar] for the exact dates of each registration phase.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 1 ====<br />
Continuing students begin course registration for the next semester in the semester prior.<ref name=":1">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-faqs</ref> Registration for spring classes occurs in the fall, usually around October and November, and registration for fall and summer classes occurs in the spring, usually around March. Time tickets in phase 1 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==== FASET ====<br />
New students and transfer students begin course registration during their orientation ([[FASET]]). Students will register with their FASET group, and FASET leaders, advisors, and the Registrar will be available to help students during class registration. The order in which FASET groups register for classes has ''not'' been observed to depend on incoming credits.<br />
<br />
==== Phase "AP" ====<br />
Phase "AP" is a special registration phase intended for students who have not received their test scores by their FASET date. Phase AP typically occurs in late July, and time tickets are given to ''all'' incoming students who had their FASET before Phase AP. In 2021, all students received the same time ticket except for [[iGniTe]] students, who received earlier time tickets but still at a consistent time.<br />
<br />
Phase AP allows students to register for courses that have prerequisites satisfied by AP credit. Students may not register for classes without the proper prerequisites, unless given a prerequisite override.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/prerequisite-checks</ref> Students who are eligible for Phase AP should be sure to send their test scores to Georgia Tech so that they are received before students' time tickets open.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 2 ====<br />
Phase 2 is the last registration phase for all students, beginning about a week before classes start and ending after the first week of classes. The first week of classes, known as "syllabus week," overlaps with phase 2 registration and gives students an opportunity to drop out of courses without a "W" appearing on their transcripts.<ref name=":1" /><ref group="Note">Students who drop a course after phase 2 registration has ended ''will'' receive a "W" on their transcript for that course.</ref> Typically, professors do not give much work during this week, making this a great time to decide whether to remain in a course based on the syllabus, professor style, etc. As a result, [[waitlists]] tend to move a lot during this phase.<br />
<br />
Time tickets in phase 2 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /> However, earlier time tickets in phase 2 are not as advantageous since spots usually become available due to students dropping courses, and most students are able to get all the classes they need during phase 2, even if they have a rough experience in phase 1 or FASET.<br />
<br />
== Course Number ==<br />
Course numbers indicate certain information about courses, such as the year that they are typically taken in. Note that the conventions below are general and should not be used as a strict rule. For example, a couple 3000-level classes, such as [[MATH 3012]], are sometimes taken by freshmen despite the convention listed below.<br />
<br />
The letters preceding the four digit number indicate which department offers the course. For example, [[CS 1301]] is a course offered by the college of computing.<br />
<br />
The first digit indicates which year the class is typically taken in. Course numbers in the form 1XXX are generally freshman classes, 2XXX are generally classes that build on freshman classes, 3XXX classes go into specific major material, and 4XXX classes are generally high level technical classes. Transfer courses on the transfer equivalency table listed as 1XXX, 2XXX, etc. may be used as free electives.<br />
<br />
Subsequent digits indicate other information about a course, such as if it is a course reserved for special topics. A more comprehensive [https://registrar.gatech.edu/files/course-numbering-system.pdf guide] to course numbering is provided by the Registrar.<br />
<br />
=== Course Reference Number ===<br />
Each section in a course has its own unique identification number, called a "Course Reference Number" (CRN). This number is typically five digits long and is separate from the overall course number. CRNS are primarily used for class registration.<ref name=":2">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-information</ref><br />
<br />
== Permits, Overrides, and Overloads ==<br />
https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/permits-and-overloads<br />
<br />
== Registration Hold ==<br />
Registration holds prevent students from adding and dropping classes during their time ticket. To view registration holds, go to "Registration Status" in OSCAR, select the applicable term, and click "View Holds" at the bottom of the page. If any holds are present, students must complete the given steps or contact the department that gave the hold to clear it. If no holds are present for a student, then they may register for classes during their time ticket.<ref name=":02">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/holds</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Linked Course ===<br />
A linked course is a course that has both a lecture section and an additional section, such as a lab, studio, or recitation. Both sections must be registered for simultaneously. This [https://www.me.gatech.edu/files/ug/linkedclasses.pdf guide] made by the [[Mechanical Engineering|ME]] department provides more information about linked courses and is applicable to all majors.<br />
<br />
=== Testing Period ===<br />
<br />
=== Shared Test Period ===<br />
Some classes have a shared test period, such as [[PHYS 2211]] and [[PHYS 2212|2212]]. This shows up in a schedule as a single time block during the week and is usually very late in the day. However, most students will only have 2-5 tests per class, so it will not be used most weeks.<br />
<br />
=== Free Electives ===<br />
Free electives can be satisfied by any course, with the exception of equivalent courses. For example, if a student has taken [[MATH 1554]], then they cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[MATH 1564]], and an aerospace engineering student cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[ME 2202]], since they already have to take their version of dynamics, [[AE 2220]].<br />
<br />
Some free elective credit is restricted to 2000-level courses and higher, so courses with a number in the form 1XXX cannot satisfy this credit. All requirements can be viewed in Degree Works.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisite Chain ===<br />
A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain for most engineering majors is PHYS 2211 to PHYS 2212 to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc.<br />
<br />
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, [[Electrical Engineering|electrical engineering]] majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page.<br />
<br />
== First-Year Guide ==<br />
<br />
=== Scheduling ===<br />
Each department typically sends out information about advising via email before FASET, so students should complete all instructions there first. All incoming students should receive a suggested schedule from their advisor by the end of this process. If not, students can fill out their schedules using the instructions below. These instructions are also applicable for students who already have a suggested schedule, as advisors are just one source of information.<br />
<br />
Before determining which classes to take, students should check which credits they already have. This can be done by looking at the classes and requirements checked off in [https://degreeaudit.gatech.edu/ Degree Works]. If a student's test scores or transfer credit have not been received by Georgia Tech yet, the classes and requirements they fulfill will ''not'' show as completed in Degree Works.<ref group="Note">Students should make sure that they sent their scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in order to receive credit. If not, scores should be sent immediately.</ref> This means that should a student attempt to register for classes that have prerequisites satisfied by those credits, OSCAR will display a prerequisite error.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error-messages</ref> If needed, students can request [[Scheduling#Permits, Overrides, and Overloads|prerequisite overrides]] if they already know their scores. Equivalency tables for [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/advanced-placement-exams/ AP exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/international-baccalaureate-exams/ IB exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/a-levels/ A-levels], and [https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-credit transfer credit] show which credits may be earned.<br />
<br />
After checking completed credits, students should look at their majors' requirements. A selection of [[Scheduling#Resources|resources]] for major requirements and prerequisites is listed on this page. Based on these requirements and prerequisites, students should create a schedule. While 12 is the minimum number of credit hours to be considered a full-time student, any schedule with more than 16 credit hours is not recommended for first-year students, unless they are coming in with no credits.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/enrollment-status</ref> 15 credits (about 5 classes) is recommended, but take 12-13 credits (about 4 classes) for a lighter load first semester. In addition, follow the guidelines below:<br />
<br />
* ''Never retake courses unless there is an extremely niche reason for doing so.'' While students may not feel comfortable with all the material in courses that they already have credit for, material can always be reviewed, which is a much better option than retaking entire courses. Retaking a course does not guarantee that the material is fully learned, risks the possibility of a low grade, and takes time away from other courses required to graduate.<br />
* Avoid taking a [[chemistry]], [[calculus]], and [[Computer Science|computer science]] class together, as taking all three at once can be a lot of work. A similar guideline applies for math: avoid taking more than 4 credits worth of core math classes at once.<br />
* Labs tend to be very time-consuming, so avoid taking more than one class with a lab section in a semester, with an exception for science majors.<br />
* If possible, take at least one non-STEM class to prevent a difficult semester, but make sure to not take too many. Save some humanities, social sciences, and free electives for more difficult semesters in the future.<br />
* Students should try to take classes that are big prerequisites for their major. For example, computer science majors should take [[CS 1301]] and [[CS 1331]] as early as possible, and mechanical engineering majors should take [[PHYS 2211]] and [[COE 2001]] as early as possible. More specific guides can be found on [[:Category:Majors|major]] wiki pages.<br />
* Be sure to have backup classes, as getting every class with the best professors and times is not always possible.<br />
<br />
Finally, students should check their schedule with current students. The Georgia Tech [https://discord.com/invite/gt Discord server] is a great place to do this. Another important point to remember is that Georgia Tech requires no prior knowledge for any major beyond what is learned in high school, ''so there is no need to review or learn any material before classes start.''<br />
<br />
=== Registration ===<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech is done via [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR], short for "Online Student Computer Assisted Registration." To access OSCAR, first sign in via the "Secure Access Login" link. Then, click on "Student Services & Financial Aid" followed by "Registration." This page is the registration menu, which provides several helpful links for class registration.<br />
<br />
Classes can only be added and dropped during a student's time ticket.<ref name=":0" /> To view time ticket information, click "Registration Status" and select the fall term. In addition, OSCAR will show if a student has [[Scheduling#Registration Hold|registration holds]] or not on this page.<br />
<br />
Even though classes can only be added or dropped during students' time tickets, students may view availability for all classes at any time by selecting "Look Up Classes" in the registration menu. The Registrar provides [https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-assistance information] on how to interpret class data in OSCAR. During a student's time ticket, they will also be able to add and drop courses via these pages.<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
Another method for class registration is to click "Add/Drop Classes" in the registration menu. [[Scheduling#Course Reference Number|Course Reference Numbers]] (CRNs) can be entered all at once, allowing for quicker registration. Of course, "Add/Drop Classes" can only be used during a time ticket.<ref name=":2" /><br />
== Resources ==<br />
<br />
* [https://advising.gatech.edu/find-your-advisor Academic advisors] can assist students with their schedules; however, advisors are not always familiar with which professors are more difficult and may not give plans that follow prerequisites.<br />
* [https://gatech.smartevals.com/ CIOS Survey Data] provides aggregate numerical data from CIOS surveys, surveys that students fill out towards the end of a course each semester to evaluate its quality. See the [[Scheduling#CIOS Survey Data Guide|guide]] below for usage.<br />
* [https://critique.gatech.edu/ Course Critique] provides historical data about a professor's GPA in a specific course. In general, professors with a higher GPA than the course's historical average will be easier professors.<br />
* [http://degreeworks.gatech.edu/ Degree Works] is used to evaluate prerequisites and classes required for a student's major. It is used by academic advisors but can be accessed by students as well. While Degree Works is always accurate, other resources may be more user-friendly for checking requirements.<br />
* [https://discord.com/invite/gt GT Discord] is an online community of Georgia Tech students and alumni who can help with schedule planning. Be sure to follow the rules posted in the welcome channel.<br />
* [https://www.gt-scheduler.org/ GT Scheduler], created by Jinseo Park and Bits of Good, is a user-friendly site that allows students to optimize and display information about their schedules. See the [[Scheduling#GT Scheduler Guide|guide]] below for usage.<br />
* [https://omscentral.com/courses OMSCentral] provides ratings and reviews for OMS (Online Master of Science) courses. All OMS courses have a 6XXX, 7XXX, or 8XXX course number.<br />

* [https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/campusRatings.jsp?sid=361 Rate My Professors] is a popular professor rating website. Information on Rate My Professors often tracks with CIOS data, but both should be consulted when creating a schedule.<br />
* [https://www.gatech.edu/academics/bachelors-degree-programs Requirement lists] are helpful for reviewing the requirements for a major or minor; however, they may not always be updated.<br />
* [https://advising.gatech.edu/4-year-plan-information-students-and-advisors Suggested 4-year plans] typically display prerequisite chains for a major; however, some may be outdated.<br />
<br />
=== CIOS Survey Data Guide ===<br />
To view [https://gatech.smartevals.com/ CIOS survey data], log in when prompted and click "See Results" at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
The survey data provides unique information about how much time the median student spends per week on a course, which can help gauge the workload of a class. While this information can be extremely useful, avoid using these numbers as hard facts.<br />
<br />
Other survey data indicates the quality of a course, rated on a scale of 1-5, the quality of a professor's teaching, and the percentage of classes attended. The prevalence and incentives surrounding CIOS survey completion may make CIOS survey data a more reliable resource than Rate My Professors.<br />
<br />
Incoming freshmen and teaching assistants (TAs) may not be able to view the survey data.<br />
<br />
=== GT Scheduler Guide ===<br />
To use [https://www.gt-scheduler.org/ GT Scheduler], follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
First, select the desired term in the top left corner of the screen. The term should default to the next term.<br />
<br />
Next, add classes by entering course numbers in the top left dialogue box. Added courses will be displayed in a list on the left side of the screen, and time blocks will automatically be filled in the calendar located on the right side of the screen. In between the course list and calendar, a list of all possible permutations of a schedule that contains the entered courses will be displayed. This list of schedules can be sorted by compactness, earliest ending time, or latest beginning time.<br />
<br />
The letters and numbers to the right of a course number indicate the section and subsection selected. Each section has its own professor and lecture periods. Some sections may share a professor, but they will have different lecture periods. Subsections differ in TAs and time periods.<br />
<br />
To view a course's prerequisites, select the second icon at the top right of a course on the added courses menu. The drop down menu that appears after selecting the icon will have an information icon that links to [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR]. OSCAR is the most accurate source for prerequisite information, so it is best to always double check a course's prerequisites on OSCAR. In addition, check OSCAR for additional information about a course or section, such as campus, major, concentration, and LLC restrictions.<br />

<div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:MSE 2001 - Principles and Applications of Engineering Materials}}<br />
<br />
'''MSE 2001''' is 3 credit introductory course in materials science and engineering. It is both a fundamental class for [[Materials Science and Engineering|materials science and engineering]] and a general requirement for other engineering majors, such as [[Mechanical Engineering|mechanical engineering]].<br />
<br />
== Topic List ==<br />
<br />
* Atomic Scale Structure<br />
* Crystal Structures<br />
* Point Defects and Diffusion<br />
* Crystalline Defects<br />
* Non-Crystalline Materials<br />
* Phase Equilibria and Phase Diagrams<br />
* Structural Transformations<br />
* Mechanical Properties<br />
* Electrical Properties<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
<br />
=== Chemistry ===<br />
Basic chemistry concepts, such as bonding, electronegativity, and atomic structure, are used throughout in MSE 2001. While a strong understanding of these concepts can be helpful, only basic exposure to these concepts is necessary to do well in MSE 2001.<br />
<br />
== Future Outlook ==<br />
For materials science and engineering majors, this course is a prerequisite for almost all upper level MSE courses and serves as an introduction to the major. For other engineering majors, this course is less significant, only serving as a prerequisite for a small number of major requirements, such as [[ME 3210]] for ME majors. However, an understanding of materials science and engineering is still important for nearly all engineering majors.<br />

'''ME 1670''' covers the basics of sketching, computer-aided design (CAD), and engineering drawings. The first part of the course focuses on sketching, mostly in two-point perspective, while the latter portion focuses on CAD, utilizing SolidWorks. It is a major requirement for [[Mechanical Engineering|ME]] and [[Aerospace Engineering|AE]] majors as it covers many fundamental engineering concepts.<br />

== Class Structure ==<br />
<br />
=== Dorozhkin ===<br />
The course typically features two major projects, while lacking exams or quizzes. The first project is an individual project, where students must design a small object to be printed on a commercial SLS 3D printer. The second project is a group project, where students design a larger, more complex product that will ''not'' actually be created. Groups are randomly assigned close to the beginning of the semester.<br />
<br />
All sketching assignments can be done with a pencil and copy paper. 2-3 sheets of copy paper per week is needed during the sketching portion of the class, which typically comprises of the first five weeks of class. Copy paper is only necessary for the lab activities and homework; however, students who wish to practice during the lectures or on their own time may require additional sheets of copy paper. Lined paper is not permitted for graded assignments.<br />
<br />
During the sketching portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically explains sketching techniques in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice and going over homework. During the CAD portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically discusses general concepts and SolidWorks features in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice. Labs tend to be more important than the lectures for CAD.<br />
<br />
Attendance is required for both lectures and labs. However, Dorozhkin usually only takes up the first 30-60 minutes of the lab with a guided practice example and lets you leave afterwards. Often, the guided practice example is the lab activity itself, so you can work on your homework afterwards if you wish to stay.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
ME 1670 has no prerequisites and does not require any prior knowledge of content. Plenty of students with no experience in CAD do well in the class as it is designed to be an introduction to CAD. Of course, prior knowledge of CAD is helpful but not required.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
ME 1670 is required for ME and AE majors and is typically taken freshman year. Other engineering majors may take ME 1670 as an elective. For ME majors, ME 1670 is a prerequisite for [[ME 2110]].<br />

The course typically features two major projects, while lacking exams or quizzes. The first project is an individual project, where students must design a small object to be printed on a commercial SLS 3D printer. The second project is a group project, where students design a larger, more complex product that will ''not'' actually be created. Groups are randomly assigned close to the beginning of the semester.<br />
<br />
All sketching assignments can be done with a pencil and copy paper. 2-3 sheets of copy paper per week is needed during the sketching portion of the class, which typically comprises of the first five weeks of class. Copy paper is only necessary for the lab activities and homework; however, students who wish to practice during the lectures or on their own time may require additional sheets of copy paper. Lined paper is not permitted for graded assignments.<br />
<br />
During the sketching portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically explains sketching techniques in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice and going over homework. During the CAD portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically discusses general concepts and SolidWorks features in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice. Labs tend to be more important than the lectures for CAD.<br />
<br />
Attendance is required for both lectures and labs. However, Dorozhkin usually only takes up the first 30-60 minutes of the lab with a guided practice example and lets you leave afterwards. Often, the guided practice example is the lab activity itself, so you can work on your homework afterwards if you wish to stay.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
ME 1670 has no prerequisites and does not require any prior knowledge of content. Plenty of students with no experience in CAD do well in the class as it is designed to be an introduction to CAD. Of course, prior knowledge of CAD is helpful but not required.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
ME 1670 is required for ME and AE majors and is typically taken freshman year. Other engineering majors may take ME 1670 as an elective. For ME majors, ME 1670 is a prerequisite for [[ME 2110]].<br />

== Class Structure ==<br />
MATH 2552 is a core math class focused more on computation than pure theory.<br />
<br />
=== Chen ===<br />
At the beginning of the course, Chen posts a comprehensive course schedule that contains all topics, lecture notes, and textbook exercises. In addition, Chen makes lectures and studios optional, allowing the course to be easily self-studied. Chen's quizzes and exams tend to be straightforward, containing problems very similar to the textbook examples, if not easier.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
<br />
=== Single Variable Calculus ===<br />
[[Single Variable Calculus|Single variable calculus]] is used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Differential equations is often considered to be another calculus course, and uses differentiation and/or integration in almost every topic. Partial fraction decomposition is used frequently when working with Laplace transforms.<br />
<br />
=== Linear Algebra ===<br />
[[Linear Algebra|Linear algebra]] is also used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to analyze systems of differential equations and second order linear differential equations. Other linear algebra topics, such as row reduction, linear combinations, and linear independence are also used in the analysis of these types of differential equations.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
MATH 2552 is required by most engineering and science majors, and it is also required for the [[modsim]] thread in [[cs]]. It is a prerequisite itself for many classes required by engineering and science majors. Due to its prerequisites, MATH 2552 is generally taken sometime between late freshmen year and early sophomore year.<br />
<br />
=== Equivalent Courses ===<br />
<br />
* [[MATH 2562]] is the honors equivalent, which includes additional topics and goes into more depth in general.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This page discusses the structure and guidelines of '''course pages'''. Each heading corresponds to a heading on a course page; however, some headings may be omitted from a course page if no information can be provided for that section.<ref group="Note">Each heading will contain specific instructions for the actual heading to be used on course pages. For example, the heading titled "Leads" on this page refers to the lead of the page, not a separate heading titled "Leads."</ref><br />
<br />
== Leads ==<br />
The lead of a course page must begin with the course number followed by the word "covers." This sentence should provide a brief overview of the content in the course. A recommended method for writing this sentence is to directly state the main topics from the topic list. Multiple sentences may be used if necessary.<br />
<br />
== Topic Lists ==<br />
Topic lists contain a list of topics covered in a course.<br />
<br />
=== Structure ===<br />
Topic lists should be done in bullet points, with main topics, units, and/or chapters as primary bullets and subtopics as secondary bullets. Tertiary bullets should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Topics lists should be in chronological order as much as possible and should be given a heading titled "Topic List."<br />
<br />
A topic list should still be provided for a course even if course syllabi do not provide a clear topic list. If a topic lists from course syllabi are incomplete or undetailed, then topics should be filled in based on students' experiences in that course.<br />
<br />
=== Semester Variance ===<br />
Topic lists may vary depending on the semester the course was taken. Topic lists should be as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Changes that have occurred in the topic list of a course should be documented in a separate historical section of the course page.<br />
<br />
=== Professor Variance ===<br />
Topic lists may vary depending on the professor teaching the course. If differences are minor, then they can be noted within the topic list. If differences are significant, then separate topic lists should be provided. Each topic list should be given a subheading titled with the last name of the professor.<br />
<br />
=== Subjectivity ===<br />
While topic lists may be copied directly from course syllabi, contributors are encouraged to reorganize topic lists to be more accurate or readable. The best organization of a topic list may be subjective.<br />
<br />
== Class Structure ==<br />
This section should be titled "Class Structure" and provides a description for how the class typically operates during a semester. Unless a class sees little variance between professors, a separate subheading should be made for each professor, and the subheading should be titled with the professor's name.<br />
<br />
The type of information that can be included in this section can vary greatly; however, personal opinions about professors or classes should ''never'' be included.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
This section should be titled "Prerequisite Knowledge" and discusses what knowledge from prior classes is needed for the course. The purpose of this section is ''not'' to simply list the prerequisites but rather, to describe the knowledge needed from prior courses, whether they are officially listed as prerequisites or not. Each prerequisite course should be given a subheading titled with the common name of the course (e.g. "Linear Algebra," "Physics I," etc.). All official prerequisites should be given their own heading, with exception for equivalent courses, which should be given a single subheading. Courses that are not officially prerequisites may also be given subheadings.<br />
<br />
Courses with no prerequisites should still contain this section, and a brief note stating this should be included.<br />
<br />
A secondary purpose for this section is to evaluate the necessity of certain prerequisite courses. Some courses may have official prerequisites that students do not feel are necessary, and this may be commented on in the wiki.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
This section should be titled "Scheduling" and provides an overview for which majors require the course and when the course is typically taken. If the course is equivalent to other courses (e.g. gives similar credit, covers similar topics, etc.), then a subheading titled "Equivalent Courses" should be included. Under this subheading, a bullet point list of equivalent courses should be provided, with each bullet point starting with the course number and comprising of a brief explanatory sentence.<br />
<br />
== Resources ==<br />
This section should be titled "Resources" and should contain a bulleted list of important resources for the course. All resources should be linked.<br />

== Class Structure ==<br />
MATH 1554 is a core math class with a focus on theory. However, MATH 1554 does ''not'' use formal proofs, and it still does have many computational problems. The theoretical nature of MATH 1554 can be challenging for first-year students who are used to more computation-heavy algebra and calculus courses.<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge==<br />
Almost no prerequisite knowledge is required, apart from algebra and trigonometry.<br />
==Scheduling==<br />
MATH 1554 is required for math and [[cs]] majors. Due to having almost no prerequisites, MATH 1554 is generally taken during freshmen year. Future calculus classes, such as [[Multivariable Calculus|multivariable calculus]] and [[Differential Equations|differential equations]] will use linear algebra concepts such as matrices, determinants, and eigenvalues. In addition, linear algebra is especially important for cs majors, who take many classes that require linear algebra, such as [[MATH 3012]] and [[CS 3510]].<br />

== Class Structure ==<br />
<br />
=== Dorozhkin ===<br />
The course typically features two major projects, while lacking exams or quizzes. The first project is an individual project, where students must design a small object to be printed on a commercial SLS 3D printer. The second project is a group project, where students design a larger, more complex product that will ''not'' actually be created. Groups are randomly assigned close to the beginning of the semester.<br />
<br />
All sketching assignments can be done with a pencil and copy paper. 2-3 sheets of copy paper per week is needed during the sketching portion of the class, which typically comprises of the first five weeks of class. Copy paper is only necessary for the lab activities and homework; however, students who wish to practice during the lectures or on their own time may require additional sheets of copy paper. Lined paper is not permitted for graded assignments.<br />
<br />
During the sketching portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically explains sketching techniques in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice and going over homework. During the CAD portion of the class, Dorozhkin typically discusses general concepts and SolidWorks features in lectures, while labs are reserved for practice. Labs tend to be more important than the lectures for CAD.<br />
<br />
Attendance is required for both lectures and labs. However, Dorozhkin usually only takes up the first 30-60 minutes of the lab with a guided practice example and lets you leave afterwards. Often, the guided practice example is the lab activity itself, so you can work on your homework afterwards if you wish to stay.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
ME 1670 has no prerequisites and does not require any prior knowledge of content. Plenty of students with no experience in CAD do well in the class as it is designed to be an introduction to CAD. Of course, prior knowledge of CAD is helpful but not required.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Chen ===<br />
At the beginning of the course, Chen posts a comprehensive course schedule that contains all topics, lecture notes, and textbook exercises. In addition, Chen makes lectures and studios optional, allowing the course to be easily self-studied. Chen's quizzes and exams tend to be straightforward, containing problems very similar to the textbook examples, if not easier.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
<br />
=== Single Variable Calculus ===<br />
[[Single Variable Calculus|Single variable calculus]] is used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Differential equations is often considered to be another calculus course, and uses differentiation and/or integration in almost every topic. Partial fraction decomposition is used frequently when working with Laplace transforms.<br />
<br />
=== Linear Algebra ===<br />
[[Linear Algebra|Linear algebra]] is also used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to analyze systems of differential equations and second order linear differential equations. Other linear algebra topics, such as row reduction, linear combinations, and linear independence are also used in the analysis of these types of differential equations.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
MATH 2552 is required by most engineering and science majors, and it is also required for the [[modsim]] thread in [[cs]]. It is a prerequisite itself for many classes required by engineering and science majors. Due to its prerequisites, MATH 2552 is generally taken sometime between late freshmen year and early sophomore year.<br />
<br />
=== Equivalent Courses ===<br />
<br />
* [[MATH 2562]] is the honors equivalent, which includes additional topics and goes into more depth in general.<br />

[[PHYS 2211]] or its equivalents is an important prerequisite for COE 2001. Statics can be seen as an extension of introductory mechanics, focusing specifically on systems in equilibrium. For example, while forces and moments are introduced in PHYS 2211, COE 2001 will go in greater depth about these concepts by discussing couples and working with 3D systems.<br />
<br />
=== Integral Calculus ===<br />
While [[MATH 1552]] is listed as a prerequisite for COE 2001, COE 2001 is not a heavily calculus-based course. However, integrals are used towards the end of the course when dealing with distributed loads.<br />
<br />
== Future Outlook ==<br />
COE 2001 is an important prerequisite class for several engineering majors.<br />

<div>'''Scheduling''' refers to information about class registration.<br />
<br />
== Registration Phases ==<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech occurs over multiple phases. In each phase, eligible students will receive a time ticket, which indicates a certain time frame for when students can add and drop classes.<ref name=":0">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/time-tickets</ref> Check the Registrar's [https://registrar.gatech.edu/calendar academic calendar] for the exact dates of each registration phase.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 1 ====<br />
Continuing students begin course registration for the next semester in the semester prior.<ref name=":1">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-faqs</ref> Registration for spring classes occurs in the fall, usually around October and November, and registration for fall and summer classes occurs in the spring, usually around March. Time tickets in phase 1 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==== FASET ====<br />
New students and transfer students begin course registration during their orientation ([[FASET]]). Students will register with their FASET group, and FASET leaders, advisors, and the Registrar will be available to help students during class registration. The order in which FASET groups register for classes has ''not'' been observed to depend on incoming credits.<br />
<br />
==== Phase "AP" ====<br />
Phase "AP" is a special registration phase intended for students who have not received their test scores by their FASET date. Phase AP typically occurs in late July, and time tickets are given to ''all'' incoming students who had their FASET before Phase AP. In 2021, all students received the same time ticket except for [[iGniTe]] students, who received earlier time tickets but still at a consistent time.<br />
<br />
Phase AP allows students to register for courses that have prerequisites satisfied by AP credit. Students may not register for classes without the proper prerequisites, unless given a prerequisite override.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/prerequisite-checks</ref> Students who are eligible for Phase AP should be sure to send their test scores to Georgia Tech so that they are received before students' time tickets open.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 2 ====<br />
Phase 2 is the last registration phase for all students, beginning about a week before classes start and ending after the first week of classes. The first week of classes, known as "syllabus week," overlaps with phase 2 registration and gives students an opportunity to drop out of courses without a "W" appearing on their transcripts.<ref name=":1" /><ref group="Note">Students who drop a course after phase 2 registration has ended ''will'' receive a "W" on their transcript for that course.</ref> Typically, professors do not give much work during this week, making this a great time to decide whether to remain in a course based on the syllabus, professor style, etc. As a result, [[waitlists]] tend to move a lot during this phase.<br />
<br />
Time tickets in phase 2 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /> However, earlier time tickets in phase 2 are not as advantageous since spots usually become available due to students dropping courses, and most students are able to get all the classes they need during phase 2, even if they have a rough experience in phase 1 or FASET.<br />
<br />
== Course Number ==<br />
Course numbers indicate certain information about courses, such as the year that they are typically taken in. Note that the conventions below are general and should not be used as a strict rule. For example, a couple 3000-level classes, such as [[MATH 3012]], are sometimes taken by freshmen despite the convention listed below.<br />
<br />
The letters preceding the four digit number indicate which department offers the course. For example, [[CS 1301]] is a course offered by the college of computing.<br />
<br />
The first digit indicates which year the class is typically taken in. Course numbers in the form 1XXX are generally freshman classes, 2XXX are generally classes that build on freshman classes, 3XXX classes go into specific major material, and 4XXX classes are generally high level technical classes. Transfer courses on the transfer equivalency table listed as 1XXX, 2XXX, etc. may be used as free electives.<br />
<br />
Subsequent digits indicate other information about a course, such as if it is a course reserved for special topics. A more comprehensive [https://registrar.gatech.edu/files/course-numbering-system.pdf guide] to course numbering is provided by the Registrar.<br />
<br />
=== Course Reference Number ===<br />
Each section in a course has its own unique identification number, called a "Course Reference Number" (CRN). This number is typically five digits long and is separate from the overall course number. CRNS are primarily used for class registration.<ref name=":2">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-information</ref><br />
<br />
== Permits, Overrides, and Overloads ==<br />
https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/permits-and-overloads<br />
<br />
== Registration Hold ==<br />
Registration holds prevent students from adding and dropping classes during their time ticket. To view registration holds, go to "Registration Status" in OSCAR, select the applicable term, and click "View Holds" at the bottom of the page. If any holds are present, students must complete the given steps or contact the department that gave the hold to clear it. If no holds are present for a student, then they may register for classes during their time ticket.<ref name=":02">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/holds</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Linked Course ===<br />
A linked course is a course that has both a lecture section and an additional section, such as a lab, studio, or recitation. Both sections must be registered for simultaneously. This [https://www.me.gatech.edu/files/ug/linkedclasses.pdf guide] made by the [[Mechanical Engineering|ME]] department provides more information about linked courses and is applicable to all majors.<br />
<br />
=== Testing Period ===<br />
<br />
=== Shared Test Period ===<br />
Some classes have a shared test period, such as [[PHYS 2211]] and [[PHYS 2212|2212]]. This shows up in a schedule as a single time block during the week and is usually very late in the day. However, most students will only have 2-5 tests per class, so it will not be used most weeks.<br />
<br />
=== Free Electives ===<br />
Free electives can be satisfied by any course, with the exception of equivalent courses. For example, if a student has taken [[MATH 1554]], then they cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[MATH 1564]], and an aerospace engineering student cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[ME 2202]], since they already have to take their version of dynamics, [[AE 2220]].<br />
<br />
Some free elective credit is restricted to 2000-level courses and higher, so courses with a number in the form 1XXX cannot satisfy this credit. All requirements can be viewed in Degree Works.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisite Chain ===<br />
A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain for most engineering majors is PHYS 2211 to PHYS 2212 to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc.<br />
<br />
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, [[Electrical Engineering|electrical engineering]] majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page.<br />
<br />
== First-Year Guide ==<br />
<br />
=== Scheduling ===<br />
Each department typically sends out information about advising via email before FASET, so students should complete all instructions there first. All incoming students should receive a suggested schedule from their advisor by the end of this process. If not, students can fill out their schedules using the instructions below. These instructions are also applicable for students who already have a suggested schedule, as advisors are just one source of information.<br />
<br />
Before determining which classes to take, students should check which credits they already have. This can be done by looking at the classes and requirements checked off in [https://degreeaudit.gatech.edu/ Degree Works]. If a student's test scores or transfer credit have not been received by Georgia Tech yet, the classes and requirements they fulfill will ''not'' show as completed in Degree Works.<ref group="Note">Students should make sure that they sent their scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in order to receive credit. If not, scores should be sent immediately.</ref> This means that should a student attempt to register for classes that have prerequisites satisfied by those credits, OSCAR will display a prerequisite error.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error-messages</ref> If needed, students can request [[Scheduling#Permits, Overrides, and Overloads|prerequisite overrides]] if they already know their scores. Equivalency tables for [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/advanced-placement-exams/ AP exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/international-baccalaureate-exams/ IB exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/a-levels/ A-levels], and [https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-credit transfer credit] show which credits may be earned.<br />
<br />
After checking completed credits, students should look at their majors' requirements. A selection of [[Scheduling#Resources|resources]] for major requirements and prerequisites is listed on this page. Based on these requirements and prerequisites, students should create a schedule. While 12 is the minimum number of credit hours to be considered a full-time student, any schedule with more than 16 credit hours is not recommended for first-year students, unless they are coming in with no credits.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/enrollment-status</ref> 15 credits (about 5 classes) is recommended, but take 12-13 credits (about 4 classes) for a lighter load first semester. In addition, follow the guidelines below:<br />
<br />
* ''Never retake courses unless there is an extremely specific reason for doing so.'' While students may not feel comfortable with all the material in courses that they already have credit for, material can always be reviewed, which is a much better option than retaking entire courses. Retaking a course does not guarantee that the material is fully learned, risks the possibility of a low grade, and takes time away from other courses required to graduate.<br />
* Avoid taking a [[chemistry]], [[calculus]], and [[Computer Science|computer science]] class together, as taking all three at once can be a lot of work. A similar guideline applies for math: avoid taking more than 4 credits worth of core math classes at once.<br />
* Labs tend to be very time-consuming, so avoid taking more than one class with a lab section in a semester, with an exception for science majors.<br />
* If possible, take at least one non-STEM class to prevent a difficult semester, but make sure to not take too many. Save some humanities, social sciences, and free electives for more difficult semesters in the future.<br />
* Students should try to take classes that are big prerequisites for their major. For example, computer science majors should take [[CS 1301]] and [[CS 1331]] as early as possible, and mechanical engineering majors should take [[PHYS 2211]] and [[COE 2001]] as early as possible. More specific guides can be found on [[:Category:Majors|major]] wiki pages.<br />
* Be sure to have backup classes, as getting every class with the best professors and times is not always possible.<br />
<br />
Finally, students should check their schedule with current students. The Georgia Tech [https://discord.com/invite/gt Discord server] is a great place to do this. Another important point to remember is that Georgia Tech requires no prior knowledge for any major beyond what is learned in high school, ''so there is no need to review or learn any material before classes start.''<br />
<br />
=== Registration ===<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech is done via [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR], short for "Online Student Computer Assisted Registration." To access OSCAR, first sign in via the "Secure Access Login" link. Then, click on "Student Services & Financial Aid" followed by "Registration." This page is the registration menu, which provides several helpful links for class registration.<br />
<br />
Classes can only be added and dropped during a student's time ticket.<ref name=":0" /> To view time ticket information, click "Registration Status" and select the fall term. In addition, OSCAR will show if a student has [[Scheduling#Registration Hold|registration holds]] or not on this page.<br />
<br />
Even though classes can only be added or dropped during students' time tickets, students may view availability for all classes at any time by selecting "Look Up Classes" in the registration menu. The Registrar provides [https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-assistance information] on how to interpret class data in OSCAR. During a student's time ticket, they will also be able to add and drop courses via these pages.<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
Another method for class registration is to click "Add/Drop Classes" in the registration menu. [[Scheduling#Course Reference Number|Course Reference Numbers]] (CRNs) can be entered all at once, allowing for quicker registration. Of course, "Add/Drop Classes" can only be used during a time ticket.<ref name=":2" /><br />

<br />
=== CIOS Survey Data Guide ===<br />
To view [https://gatech.smartevals.com/ CIOS survey data], log in when prompted and click "See Results" at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
The survey data provides unique information about how much time the median student spends per week on a course, which can help gauge the workload of a class. While this information can be extremely useful, avoid using these numbers as hard facts.<br />
<br />
Other survey data indicates the quality of a course, rated on a scale of 1-5, the quality of a professor's teaching, and the percentage of classes attended. The prevalence and incentives surrounding CIOS survey completion may make CIOS survey data a more reliable resource than Rate My Professors.<br />
<br />
Incoming freshmen and teaching assistants (TAs) may not be able to view the survey data.<br />
<br />
=== GT Scheduler Guide ===<br />
To use [https://www.gt-scheduler.org/ GT Scheduler], follow the steps below:<br />
<br />
First, select the desired term in the top left corner of the screen. The term should default to the next term.<br />
<br />
Next, add classes by entering course numbers in the top left dialogue box. Added courses will be displayed in a list on the left side of the screen, and time blocks will automatically be filled in the calendar located on the right side of the screen. In between the course list and calendar, a list of all possible permutations of a schedule that contains the entered courses will be displayed. This list of schedules can be sorted by compactness, earliest ending time, or latest beginning time.<br />
<br />
The letters and numbers to the right of a course number indicate the section and subsection selected. Each section has its own professor and lecture periods. Some sections may share a professor, but they will have different lecture periods. Subsections differ in TAs and time periods.<br />
<br />
To view a course's prerequisites, select the second icon at the top right of a course on the added courses menu. The drop down menu that appears after selecting the icon will have an information icon that links to [https://oscar.gatech.edu/ OSCAR]. OSCAR is the most accurate source for prerequisite information, so it is best to always double check a course's prerequisites on OSCAR. In addition, check OSCAR for additional information about a course or section, such as campus, major, concentration, and LLC restrictions.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Scheduling''' refers to information about class registration.<br />
<br />
== Registration Phases ==<br />
Class registration at Georgia Tech occurs over multiple phases. In each phase, eligible students will receive a time ticket, which indicates a certain time frame for when students can add and drop classes.<ref name=":0">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/time-tickets</ref> Check the Registrar's [https://registrar.gatech.edu/calendar academic calendar] for the exact dates of each registration phase.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 1 ====<br />
Continuing students begin course registration for the next semester in the semester prior.<ref name=":1">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-faqs</ref> Registration for spring classes occurs in the fall, usually around October and November, and registration for fall and summer classes occurs in the spring, usually around March. Time tickets in phase 1 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==== FASET ====<br />
New students and transfer students begin course registration during their orientation ([[FASET]]). Students will register with their FASET group, and FASET leaders, advisors, and the Registrar will be available to help students during class registration. The order in which FASET groups register for classes has ''not'' been observed to depend on incoming credits.<br />
<br />
==== Phase "AP" ====<br />
Phase "AP" is a special registration phase intended for students who have not received their test scores by their FASET date. Phase AP typically occurs in late July, and time tickets are given to ''all'' incoming students who had their FASET before Phase AP. In 2021, all students received the same time ticket except for [[iGniTe]] students, who received earlier time tickets but still at a consistent time.<br />
<br />
Phase AP allows students to register for courses that have prerequisites satisfied by AP credit. Students may not register for classes without the proper prerequisites, unless given a prerequisite override.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/prerequisite-checks</ref> Students who are eligible for Phase AP should be sure to send their test scores to Georgia Tech so that they are received before students' time tickets open.<br />
<br />
==== Phase 2 ====<br />
Phase 2 is the last registration phase for all students, beginning about a week before classes start and ending after the first week of classes. The first week of classes, known as "syllabus week," overlaps with phase 2 registration and gives students an opportunity to drop out of courses without a "W" appearing on their transcripts.<ref name=":1" /><ref group="Note">Students who drop a course after phase 2 registration has ended ''will'' receive a "W" on their transcript for that course.</ref> Typically, professors do not give much work during this week, making this a great time to decide whether to remain in a course based on the syllabus, professor style, etc. As a result, [[waitlists]] tend to move a lot during this phase.<br />
<br />
Time tickets in phase 2 are assigned based on completed credit hours, with students who have more credit hours receiving earlier time tickets.<ref name=":0" /> However, earlier time tickets in phase 2 are not as advantageous since spots usually become available due to students dropping courses, and most students are able to get all the classes they need during phase 2, even if they have a rough experience in phase 1 or FASET.<br />
<br />
== Course Number ==<br />
Course numbers indicate certain information about courses, such as the year that they are typically taken in. Note that the conventions below are general and should not be used as a strict rule. For example, a couple 3000-level classes, such as [[MATH 3012]], are sometimes taken by freshmen despite the convention listed below.<br />
<br />
The letters preceding the four digit number indicate which department offers the course. For example, [[CS 1301]] is a course offered by the college of computing.<br />
<br />
The first digit indicates which year the class is typically taken in. Course numbers in the form 1XXX are generally freshman classes, 2XXX are generally classes that build on freshman classes, 3XXX classes go into specific major material, and 4XXX classes are generally high level technical classes. Transfer courses on the transfer equivalency table listed as 1XXX, 2XXX, etc. may be used as free electives.<br />
<br />
Subsequent digits indicate other information about a course, such as if it is a course reserved for special topics. A more comprehensive [https://registrar.gatech.edu/files/course-numbering-system.pdf guide] to course numbering is provided by the Registrar.<br />
<br />
=== Course Reference Number ===<br />
Each section in a course has its own unique identification number, called a "Course Reference Number" (CRN). This number is typically five digits long and is separate from the overall course number. CRNS are primarily used for class registration.<ref name=":2">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/registration-information</ref><br />
<br />
== Permits, Overrides, and Overloads ==<br />
https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/permits-and-overloads<br />
<br />
== Registration Hold ==<br />
Registration holds prevent students from adding and dropping classes during their time ticket. To view registration holds, go to "Registration Status" in OSCAR, select the applicable term, and click "View Holds" at the bottom of the page. If any holds are present, students must complete the given steps or contact the department that gave the hold to clear it. If no holds are present for a student, then they may register for classes during their time ticket.<ref name=":02">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/holds</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Linked Course ===<br />
A linked course is a course that has both a lecture section and an additional section, such as a lab, studio, or recitation. Both sections must be registered for simultaneously. This [https://www.me.gatech.edu/files/ug/linkedclasses.pdf guide] made by the [[Mechanical Engineering|ME department]] provides more information about linked courses and is applicable to all majors.<br />
<br />
=== Testing Period ===<br />
<br />
=== Shared Test Period ===<br />
Some classes have a shared test period, such as [[PHYS 2211]] and [[PHYS 2212|2212]]. This shows up in a schedule as a single time block during the week and is usually very late in the day. However, most students will only have 2-5 tests per class, so it will not be used most weeks.<br />
<br />
=== Free Electives ===<br />
Free electives can be satisfied by any course, with the exception of equivalent courses. For example, if a student has taken [[MATH 1554]], then they cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[MATH 1564]], and an aerospace engineering student cannot satisfy free elective credit with [[ME 2202]], since they already have to take their version of dynamics, [[AE 2220]].<br />
<br />
Some free elective credit is restricted to 2000-level courses and higher, so courses with a number in the form 1XXX cannot satisfy this credit. All requirements can be viewed in Degree Works.<br />
<br />
=== Prerequisite Chain ===<br />
A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain for most engineering majors is PHYS 2211 to PHYS 2212 to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc.<br />
<br />
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, [[Electrical Engineering|electrical engineering]] majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page.<br />
<br />
== First-Year Guide ==<br />
<br />
=== Scheduling ===<br />
Each department typically sends out information about advising via email before FASET, so students should complete all instructions there first. All incoming students should receive a suggested schedule from their advisor by the end of this process. If not, students can fill out their schedules using the instructions below. These instructions are also applicable for students who already have a suggested schedule, as advisors are just one source of information.<br />

Equivalency tables for [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/advanced-placement-exams/ AP exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/international-baccalaureate-exams/ IB exams], [https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-tests-scores/a-levels/ A-levels], and [https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-credit transfer credit] show which credits may be earned.<br />
<br />
After checking completed credits, students should look at their majors' requirements. A selection of [[Scheduling#Resources|resources]] for major requirements and prerequisites is listed on this page. Based on these requirements and prerequisites, students should create a schedule. While 12 is the minimum number of credit hours to be considered a full-time student, any schedule with more than 16 credit hours is not recommended for first-year students, unless they are coming in with no credits.<ref>https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/enrollment-status</ref> 15 credits (about 5 classes) is recommended, but take 12-13 credits (about 4 classes) for a lighter load first semester. In addition, follow the guidelines below:<br />
<br />
* ''Never retake courses unless there is an extremely specific reason for doing so.'' While students may not feel comfortable with all the material in courses that they already have credit for, material can always be reviewed, which is a much better option than retaking entire courses.

More specific guides can be found on [[:Category:Majors|major]] wiki pages.<br />
* Be sure to have backup classes, as getting every class with the best professors and times is not always possible.<br />
<br />
Finally, students should check their schedule with current students. The Georgia Tech [https://discord.com/invite/gt Discord server] is a great place to do this. Another important point to remember is that Georgia Tech requires no prior knowledge for any major beyond what is learned in high school, ''so there is no need to review or learn any material before classes start.''<br />

'''ENGL 1102''' is an introductory course in English composition.<br />
<br />

== Class Structure ==<br />
MATH 2552 is a core math class focused more on computation than pure theory.<br />
<br />
=== Chen ===<br />
At the beginning of the course, Chen posts a comprehensive course schedule that contains all topics, lecture notes, and textbook exercises. In addition, Chen makes lectures and studios optional, allowing the course to be easily self-studied. Chen's quizzes and exams tend to be straightforward, containing problems very similar to the textbook examples, if not easier.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
<br />
=== Single Variable Calculus ===<br />
[[Single Variable Calculus|Single variable calculus]] is used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Differential equations is often considered to be another calculus course, and uses differentiation and/or integration in almost every topic. Partial fraction decomposition is used frequently when working with Laplace transforms.<br />
<br />
=== Linear Algebra ===<br />
[[Linear Algebra|Linear algebra]] is also used extensively throughout MATH 2552. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to analyze systems of differential equations and second order linear differential equations. Other linear algebra topics, such as row reduction, linear combinations, and linear independence are also used in the analysis of these types of differential equations.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
MATH 2552 is required by most engineering and science majors, and it is also required for the [[modsim]] thread in [[cs]]. It is a prerequisite itself for many classes required by engineering and science majors. Due to its prerequisites, MATH 2552 is generally taken sometime between late freshmen year and early sophomore year.<br />

==Class Structure==<br />
MATH 2551 is a core math class focused more on computation than pure theory. Typical problems can be quite lengthy, especially towards the end of the course.<br />
<br />
== Prerequisite Knowledge ==<br />
<br />
=== Single Variable Calculus ===<br />
[[Single Variable Calculus|Single variable calculus]] is an important prerequisite for MATH 2551. Multivariable calculus applies single variable calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals to functions with more than one input and/or output. Multivariable calculus should not be seen as the next course in a linear sequence of calculus courses; rather, it should be seen as an outward expansion of all single variable calculus topics. For example, while no new integration techniques are introduced in multivariable calculus, with the exception of the Jacobian, the concept of integration is extended in multivariable calculus by applying it to 2D and 3D regions in new coordinate systems.<br />
<br />
=== Linear Algebra ===<br />
Although [[Linear Algebra|linear algebra]] is listed as a prerequisite for MATH 2551, topics that require ''prior'' knowledge of linear algebra are rarely seen in MATH 2551. For example, while multiple topics in MATH 2551 use vectors extensively, vectors are reviewed at the beginning of the course, making prior knowledge of vectors unrequired. However, linear algebra does provide a more theoretical background for concepts such as the dot product and matrix determinant, which may be helpful for MATH 2551.<br />
<br />
== Scheduling ==<br />
MATH 2551 is required by most engineering and science majors. It is also a prerequisite itself for many classes required by engineering and science majors. Due to its prerequisites, MATH 2551 is generally taken sometime between late freshmen year and early sophomore year.<br />
<br />
=== Equivalent Courses ===<br />
<br />
* [[MATH 2550]] is the introduction equivalent, which does not cover the final unit of MATH 2551, vector fields and integration.<br />
*[[MATH 2561]] is the honors equivalent, which includes additional topics and goes into more depth in general.<br />
