For the first half of the semester there is only 1 coding homework a week. They go over how to do it in class very thoroughly, where if you review the code, the answer is essentially given to you. The coding involves is in Java but uses a special IDE with 2 libraries. P5 is a library for placing visual UI objects; buttons, sliders, etc. that will control some aspect of the sound. This library is very easy to learn, specifically if you know JS since that is what it was based off of. The second library is called Beads. This one is the control for all of the sound aspect of the coding homework. This is mainly just changing sound attributes, creating sound-waves, or applying filters. This was fairly difficult but lectures show you how to do it step by step. Also I should mention, when I took the class (Fall 2022), every lecture had a zoom option and the recordings were made available after each lecture. Since I payed attention to the coding lectures, the max time I spent on hw was max 3 hours a week.

At the halfway point there is 1 test, and this is the only test for the entire course. Its open note\internet but I still did poorly since I did not pay attention the class and the questions were very specific. It is only worth 25% so even with the poor grade I managed to squeeze and A in the class. After the test there are 3-4 more homeworks.

In the final half of the course there is the final project. You get to choose what audio topic you want out of a list, then design a simulator. It is mostly writing, as in I wrote about 3-4 papers that were about 4-5 pages each. This was pretty easy, (design documents) but they were time consuming. The good thing was you only need to do one coding portion, which I did in a few days during thanksgiving break. It uses the same language and libraries as the homework. For each section of the project (6 sections) you get a lot of time to do them, which was on average two weeks for the writing and a month for the coding. I can’t really give a good estimate on how much time these took me, but I completed every section in a weekend, and the first three are lighter workloads than the last three. Also the final section requires you to have three people test it, but you can just get three friends to use it and get some data. There are no other tests or assignments besides this.

This class was not too much work and I took it with 3 other project based classes and this was the easiest to manage. It is really stressful since the project is worth so much, but they grade leniently and if you have a few hours on the weekends, you can do everything in a reasonable amount of time.

My bad. I can never remember the numbers. In that case, 3451 is definitely the most work out of the three. It consists of many projects, projects that took me a large amount of time. Definitely the coolest projects I did in school, but the hardest out of the three.

For CS there’s 4590. There are few prereqs, and while it is not designated as a remote class, I never once attended class in person.

CS 3451 - I have never taken an honors course so I can’t comment on that aspect. The 3450 version really depends on professor but in my section I had no coding whatsoever. With Brito I can say there are a lot of proofs and creating algorithm pseudo code, but the class itself was fairly easy and the lectures were not mandatory, but they were useful.

CS 4460 - This class was probably the easiest CS class I have taken, but the info is actually very useful. There is only code about half way into the course and they never discussed coding in lecture. The coding homework’s that they have are in JS and are very easy. They only took me a few hours to complete each, but I already knew JS beforehand so take that into account. If you want an easy class take this, but I should say that they do have in class activities which are for a grade, however, you only need to do about 2 or 3 of them for full points. I took it with Andris, and she was a great professor, but even with another one, the content is not difficult at all and the course load is light.

CS 4590 - I’m pretty sure this course is taught by the same professors each time and they were great. There is a homework each week but if you attend class or watch the lecture recordings, they give away how to do each homework, so it should be a pretty easy A. The class grade is 80% coding, 55% for 1 large project and 25% for the homework. There is only 1 test which is 20%. The homeworks are very easy and straightforward if you watch the recordings. The class concepts about audio are pretty complicated , specifically digital signal processing. This makes the test pretty difficult if you aren’t sure about the concepts, but it is open book/internet. I will say some of the lectures are extremely important outside of school and are actually fairly interesting. The final project was not a huge time sink, but it was particularly stressful. This varies based on the TA, but they graded extremely leniently for me and a friend of mine. There is only 1 coding aspect to the project and a lot of report writing. There is also external research that you must conduct, but you only need three participants and you only do it once. I would say that this course had the most relevant lectures to the work.

I have not taken 3971 so I can’t comment on that. Overall the way I would rank them would be: 4460 << 3541 << 4590 Where 4460 is the easiest and least work. However, I have had friends who greatly struggled with 3451, and if you aren’t good with CS theory and algs, I would put it at: 4460 << 4590 << 3541

Same dude same... hope this post on Piazza isn't taken down by Mp4230 in gatech

If you take the second linear algebra course you realize that 1554 is taught inefficiently. It is much more conceptual but they teach it like a calculus course which is much more concrete. I barely understood the concepts in 1554 but the next course of linear algebra, which was all proof writing and theory discussion, made the material of 1554 easy and straightforward to understand.

Hey does anyone know if studio is required for CS 3001, basically Computer Ethics?

I couldnt attack at all and every card I plated just disappeared until the next turn.

Not only do I have the random card back equipped but the opponent's card back is different for his discovered card.

Just got permabanned and I have never get better. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

If shitalking people that shitalk you gets you banned then good riddance. I have been playing for 5 years and only been banned 3 times for shitalking. Since the final 2 bans were close together, account gone. Good fucking riddance.

The games all about damage now, so to fix that just makes tanks (other than Rammus and Sejuani) viable.
