[UWAB] Course Registration Facts!
by Sweta 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hello Ladies! I posted a link a while ago on the UWAB swiki ( http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/60) about course registration. Since it is coming up soon, I thought I should let you know that members of the Women@CC have created their own mini Pick-A-Prof. Basically, it is a collection of feedback on different courses (mostly CS) and the professors that teach it and how well they teach and what sort of grade/level of toughness to expect. If you have feedback about professors, feel free to add it, as well- all comments are welcomed! Thanks! ~Sweta -- Sweta Vajjhala CS 2110 Head TA Women@CC Webmaster College of Computing 2008 Georgia Institute of Technology
