AI Thread Summary
Taking two freshman-level political science classes in the same semester, specifically American Government and State and Local Government, can be manageable, especially when they are taught by the same instructor and scheduled back-to-back. Students have found that this arrangement allows for a cohesive learning experience, as the content often overlaps. However, some express concerns about potential political bias and information overload. The experience can vary based on the instructor's teaching style; some students report that having a supportive and engaging teacher can make the courses enjoyable and less overwhelming. Overall, with proper preparation, such as bringing lunch for the long break, students can successfully navigate this course load.

What do you think about taking two poly sci classes in the same semester? They're both the freshman level (American Government/State and Local Government) with the same teacher, in the same class room, back to back from 11 to 250 and at a community college.

What's your opinion on it?

When you took them, it wasn't too much political bs overload?

For the second political science course, I had the department chair. He was a nice guy and obviously of the same worldview and political background. Regardless, I enjoyed his class. It was a bit easier than the other political science course, because of the instructor.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
