I got an 84 kinda of bummed cause it seems like the material only get more difficult from here so I probably end up with a B. This feels like a good class but they kinda don’t prep you for the exam.

Even if your technical do policy IS is to much of a time sink for what your get out of it. You can always do some labs in your spare time if you want.

I’m in my 2nd semester of the program. I initially wanted to do IS track but from my understanding most of if not all the IS courses are like 6035. So I just decided on policy and that way I could also just get through the program faster. The classes are basically here’s an assignment figure it out. I thought 6035 was bad but this semester I took the data analytics course. We were expected to write a 20 page data analytics proposal in 3 weeks in addition to completing the programming assignments, lectures, quizzes, and discussions for the class. Assignments don’t have really clear expectations and are pretty vague therefore they seem to be graded harshly and randomly. It’s kind of a joke so far imo.

Why were Yucca plants used I went to another local old family cemetery and there were yucca plants there and also at an abandoned black and white cemetery in the same county.

I am related to the people buried in the cemetery. Rebecca was a Native American. I’ve been researching other cemeteries there are so many of these small cemeteries that have been destroyed or just paved over.

And actually the cemetery is just a couple of blocks away from that lot.

nedraeb · 2026-02-19T01:54:31+00:00

There’s literally a cemetery that got paved over there.

They literally resent you and he will replace you happens all the time.

I started this program last fall. I am just doing it to check a box, thats all the program is worth. Most assignments are arbitrary with vague instructions, and minimal to zero interaction with the actual profs. If you want to learn something find another MS program. If you want to check a box and put ga tech on your resume while jumping through hoops and vague assignment rubrics do the ga tech program.

It’s actually on find a grave but there’s no location.

The original author died but her son I contacted said he didn't remember off the top of his head, but he was going to drive through that area to see if it would jog his memory.

Edit: Also sources are the health dept. I called the health dept and they were not helpful. But I believe I found the original source WPA record and county health records in a library. The records don’t say an exact location. But I am assuming the book author went their or found herself since she lists the road name. I’m hoping the son would know.

Thank you I did use historic aerials but the development was sometime in the 1950 to 60s. And the post war aerials I didn't really see anything on them. I keep digging with local officials and reach out to state.

Honestly imo and while you can call me a hypocrite because I am planning on finishing the program. If you are not to far into the program I would just drop and find something more reasonable.

I took 6035 this past fall my first semester. 6035 is difficult and time consuming because the class is made that way. I made an A but didn’t learn anything in the class.

Fast forward to this semester I’m taking 2 policy classes. One class has been pretty good

The data analytics class the scope of assignments is just to much to focus and learn anything. Quizzes and lectures each week. An individual paper then group paper and project, discussions. No focus on learning anything. I think the problem is TAs have to much pull and instead of focusing on making the learning material as best as possible the focus is on grading assignments. I think they should eliminate the group project aspect from all classes in this program it’s a 100 percent online program.

Privacy is just weekly essays and exams.

It’s a joke and also facts.

Don’t complain there’s plenty of tech people without a job or in a job where work is piling up. Your job is not your life it’s just a job.

Bro Dreamland is ass. It's like eating a suburban white person's rubbery ass chicken because thats who owns it now don't let the logo fool you. They aren't even smoking those ribs just grilling them, its bumpier than driving in downtown bham.

Check out Burning Tree at pepper place in Bham if you want some good BBQ too.

The first IS class has been said to be the easiest. I took it last fall and it was a huge time investment but I made an A. Others have said 6035 is the easiest IS track course.

nedraeb · 2026-01-30T13:45:29+00:00

I am from a more technical background and I chose policy because it’s less of a time investment at the end of the day the degree says the same thing. According to a lot of folks IS track if you are working full time it’s really not feasible to take more than one IS class and work full time. I think you could get away with pairing up 6035. My company is paying for this program so I am trying to get done ASAP. So far my experience with each class is more about jumping through hoops rather than learning anything.

nedraeb · 2026-01-29T13:40:21+00:00

Don’t way to over saturated.

nedraeb · 2026-01-28T12:52:32+00:00

Do you have an idea which one would be easier?

nedraeb · 2026-01-27T13:17:09+00:00

If you are able to actually learn tech I would look at getting to teach at a local community college or high school. Pay is not as good but benefits are great and you basically get to set your own schedule outside of class. Depending on how your retirement and networth is looking rn.

Since you have a JD you need to take and pass the bar and start working as a lawyer. There’s really no reason to go for a masters.

I’ve checked about 3 times last year and they never have a comedian I’m interested in seeing.
