GT Scheduler and Course Critique

GT Scheduler and Course Critique are web-based applications designed to help Georgia Tech students create and optimize their class schedules. It offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the often complex process of course selection and scheduling. 

GT Scheduler Key features:

1. Course Search: Students can easily search for and add courses to their schedule.

2. Schedule Generation: The tool automatically generates multiple schedule options based on selected courses.

3. Customization: Students can set preferences like preferred time slots or days off.

4. Real-Time Data: GT Scheduler uses a crawler to periodically fetch up-to-date course information from Oscar, Georgia Tech's registration system.

5. Visualization: Schedules are displayed in a clear, visual format for easy comparison.

6. Conflict Detection: The tool automatically detects and avoids time conflicts between courses.

7. CRN Information: Provides Course Registration Numbers (CRNs) for easy registration in Oscar.

8. Map and Calendar Tools: Allows students to visually see Lecture locations on the given day.

Course Critique features:

Course Critique works similarly to RateMyProfessor as both allow students to determine whether to take a course with a specific professor. However their approaches are different as Course Critique does not have student reviews of the professor.

1. Course Search: All professor who have taught or are teaching the class for the current semester have their GPA's shown.

2. Professor Search: Students can search for professor and get all classes that have been taught by that professor alongside statistics of the class.

3. Overall Course Statistics: The average GPA and percentage of students to get which letter grade is given for the course overall. 

4. Professor Specific Statistics: Professor specific statistics are given for the course.

5. Visual Representation: A visual representation gives information on the class GPA and letter grade percentage over time.

Data Source and Updates

GT Scheduler's data is regularly updated through a web crawler that accesses course information from Oscar using Banner 9's API. This ensures that students have access to the most current course offerings and schedules. 

Course Critique's data is gathered from Georgia Tech's LITE system. This ensures reliability on all information for students on all courses and professors.

Reliability and Planning

While GT Scheduler is a valuable planning tool, it's important to note that:

• Course data for future semesters may not be finalized until officially released by Georgia Tech.

• Students should verify information with official Georgia Tech sources before making final decisions.

GT Scheduler has become an essential tool for many Georgia Tech students, streamlining the course selection process and helping them create optimal schedules that fit their academic needs and personal preferences.

Creating a Degree Map

Creating a degree map at Georgia Tech is crucial, especially for transfer students, as it provides a clear pathway to graduation and helps optimize the academic journey. For transfer students, a degree map is particularly important for several reasons:

• Firstly, a degree map helps transfer students visualize their path to completion, ensuring they understand which courses are necessary and in what sequence they should be taken. This is vital for transfer students who may have a different starting point than traditional freshmen. Secondly, it allows transfer students to maximize the credits they've already earned, potentially saving time and money by avoiding unnecessary courses.

• Additionally, a well-crafted degree map can help transfer students integrate smoothly into Georgia Tech's academic structure, ensuring they meet all requirements and prerequisites for their chosen major. It also aids in planning for future semesters, helping students stay on track for timely graduation.

By creating a degree map, transfer students at Georgia Tech can better navigate the complexities of transferring credits, understand how their previous coursework fits into their new program, and clearly see the steps needed to achieve their academic goals. This proactive approach can significantly enhance their chances of success and timely degree completion at Georgia Tech. As an incoming or prospective transfer student you don't have access to GA Tech's Degree works, however you can get the same information by googling "[Your intended major] course requirements to graduate". If your major has threads or mandatory concentrations, be sure to include that in your google search as it changes what classes are required to graduate.

There are many ways you can format your degree map. Here are is a template for how you could set it up.
