AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the decision to drop either Globalization or Philosophy and Social Ethics for an easier semester. Participants note that while the workload appears similar based on the syllabi, Globalization may involve slightly more work. The timing of the Philosophy class, scheduled later in the afternoon, adds to the difficulty of the decision. A key point raised is that personal interest in a subject often correlates with perceived difficulty, suggesting that choosing the class one is more passionate about could lead to a more manageable experience.

I want to have an easier semester and I'm thinking about dropping either Globalization or Philosophy and Social Ethics. Which of these classes is usually harder? I know this may vary by professor and the university but in general which of these subjects is more difficult?

Based off the syllabus for both classes, they seem to have the same amount of work. Globalization might have a little more work. The other class is late in the afternoon though so it's tough to decide.

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...
