MIT vs Georgia Tech

There is an ongoing uncertainty with regards to GTs plans for course delivery for many of their math/CS courses going forward. For instance, next semester all Linear Algebra courses (and many others) are only available with the lectures being online and what they call Studios being in person. The same is true with CS courses.

After several email exchanges with GT, the response tends to be unclear as to their plans. They state that the courses cannot be deemed to be online since the Studio is in person. Also they are working to find space (and are unclear what this means).

GT consistently refer to pre-pandemic times having lectures online and they may do that again. For us, having the option to have a certain course online is great, but not so great when it is the only method of delivery for all sections of a course. DS is sick of online lectures and at least for the next year or two, would definitely not choose online instruction.

If this is concerning to you, I suggest you reach out to GT and try to get them to specifically respond as to their plans. Good luck!
