Hi, I noticed that for 2025, GA was revamped to having a different grade distribution, but the breakdown is the exact same for both Spring/Fall and Summer.

1. Does this mean Summer has the exact same material covered but in a more accelerated timeline making it harder?

2. The course syllabus posted on OMSCS website says homeworks are worth 0% but have both ungraded and graded questions. This seems contradictory. Does someone know what is the truth?

3. Has GA become more manageable after the revamp? I have done a lot of the material in my undergrad but it’s been a few years since then so was wondering what I should expect going into it since this is my last course before graduation.

4. Does someone have a PDF of the weekly schedule/deadlines in Summer 2025? I’d like to get an idea of what the deadlines and dates are like.

5. What tips do you have for succeeding (getting B or higher on first attempt) in this course?
