2000 hours? Fuck that

Congratulations, I am considering Georgia Tech too but for online Masters in Analytics (OMSA)

I am from San Diego and just joined the OMSCS program at GATech. Would love to be in a local meetup group.

When you say it was about 20 hr/week, was that at 1 class per semester? Did you ever do the summer session?

Everyone on reddit complains up and down about this course. It doesn't at all sound like it's that bad. If anything I'd be more worried about the exams than the projects. I've implemented my own TCP/UDP servers in C, go and Python at work and for fun. So unless I am missing something about the demands of the project I assume I'll be fine? Thinking about taking this one in the summer. Appreciate your review!

What qualifications does one needs to study a masters in HCI

I'm starting iHPC as my first course this semester, so I'm glad you found it to be a pretty good prerequisite for a bunch of the other courses

Hi sir I would love your opinion Here is all my story I wanted to share my journey and seek some guidance. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering, but after moving to the USA, I discovered my passion for coding. I started teaching myself software development, and over time, I landed a role as a backend engineer for a Fortune 500 company, working on U.S. government projects. Recently, I got promoted to a mid-level backend engineer, and another company is also currently processing my security clearance for a new opportunity. I'm considering taking Algorithms, Data Structures, and Operating Systems courses on Udemy to strengthen my foundation before applying for a Master's in Computer Systems. My goal is to gain a deeper understanding of operating systems, networking, and cybersecurity, ultimately contributing to securing U.S. government systems against threats. In my free time, I’ve also worked on side projects, including: Sharing knowledge in software engineering and cybersecurity through blogs and tutorials. Building a platform to help students choose majors based on real-life experiences and career insights. I’d love to hear your advice: Do you think I’m on the right track for applying to a Master's program in this field? Are there specific programs, resources, or certifications you’d recommend to help me prepare? Any general tips for someone transitioning into a technical graduate program from a non-CS background? I’m really excited about this journey and would deeply appreciate any guidance you can share. Thank you!

great content, thank you and keep it up!

Thank you

Stop uptalking

Great advice! I'm in the program and have a non-CS engineering BS degree. You've now made me consider some of the computing systems courses you mentioned. Do you have a LinkedIn? I'd love to connect and learn more about your robotics background since it sounds similar to mine.

For someone who the degree overseas , should evaluate course by course ?

think I want to do ML or IIS specializations just can't decide if I want to avoid GA. People online make it sound difficult but then some comments say it wasn't much worse than their undergrad algorithms course so idk who to believe.

Sam Can't Code after the Master's on here trying to promote his TH-cam.

Which courses would you say are both useful for a non-CS background and enjoyable in terms of how well they're run?

Thanks for sharing!

I am just starting this semester and this was very helpful.

awesome lets do this

straight to the point....no nonsense easy to follow

Hi sam, is the group in the group project randomized or do you need to make your own group? Also, when working with the group project, did you often do an online meeting with your teammate, so you need to allocate time together? Thanks in advance

1 course is 7k?

Hello Sam Congratulations and thank you for your video. I wanted to ask 1 thing the transcript and Degree you got, is there anywhere at all ONLINE word mentioned? Or something else mentioned that'll indicate that this is different from the in-person degree at Georgia Tech?

I'm going to do Interactive Intelligence, partly because I don't really need this class because my undegrad covered every topic and I don't need that stress.

Looking forward to do the program in the future

Great info

Congrats please make more videos

Great vid! Just an FYI I think Georgia tech’s admission committee doesn’t value MOOCs very well, even their own, if applicants don’t have much of CS background. They help more for non-CS STEM backgrounds

You said in the intro that its not necessarily the fastest route to getting into software, and that there's an opportunity cost here. What would you recommend alternatively? I am looking at the OMS Cyber program which is a little different but same premise, I have a non-CS background. Thanks in advance! Great video

Hi Sam thank you so much for your vids they're helpful (: would you mind mentioning how is the job market for you given that you didn't study cs for your undergrade degree? Thank you so much again I subbed ^^

Is there an option to opt for a thesis?

Just binge watched all of your videos, kudos.

Really insightful, thanks mate.

Applied for this spring semester and have been binging your content its been super useful.

So there are 10 courses to graduate from omscs?

Hey Sam, thanks for sharing your insights. Do you mind sharing your specialization? I heard great reviews for this class, but am planning for HCI specialization so not sure if I should still take this class?

Did you have Java experience before taking this course? I have several years of python experience but no Java experience which makes me nervous…

My daughter did it from india.she also completed in last march.now she is pursuing PhD in human centered computing from a u s University

Thanks for the review, a question regarding this. Is AI detectable when used to refine our work for these assignments?

I really liked your breakdown, will be going through the rest of your vids! Might be too late for a question (my time ticket's for tomorrow morning lol) but did you feel you would've been fine with taking a week or two off during the course semester? That's the only reason I'm leaning towards taking HCI as my first course, since I've got a Peru trip and then a Euro trip lined up lol. Keep up the good work!

The research opportunities have opened up now. There are regular project opportunities since Summer 2024 and now there is a new Research Course.

Thanks for the review!

Did u mean that the lecture is harder in HPCA than is in GIOS? Then would it better to take GIOS first then HPCA? Also, another question I have is, do you think is beneficial to take both given u mentioned content wise, both are largely similar.

Question re the clarification about the cost: why do you use "if" in this sentence at all? Is the cost conditional upon course load? Everything I've seen online says it's $7k for the program; is it cheaper if you take more courses per semester? Maybe just minus those baseline fees you pay per semester and so the fewer semesters you take the fewer of those you're on the hook for? If this is the case, how much are those fees more or less?

Thank you! What are the math classes that help (in undergrad)?

Easiest end game class hands down 😂

question: on which exam is randomized algorithm?

Hey, Sam... Really helpful information, Thanks a lot...👍 Can you please share your linkedin id, i have some doubts regarding this program... Please

Did you get a new laptop for the program, or what did you use? I have a 2015 intel macbook pro, and I am considering getting a new laptop just for the program (ideally Windows). I only have 8GB ram, and I saw that some of the AI/ML courses require linux and might be difficult on my slow machine.
