I'm in the GA Tech program. Chose AI since I've never touched it. Every course has been terrible in this track. The lectures are awful. The readings take hours upon hours. The TAs pathologically refuse to answer guestions without channeling Confucius. Then I found old GA Tech videos and MIT open courseware. It's starting to make sense. I say all of this because intro to ai is highly rated. It can only get such a rating if it's coming from people that already know the material.

Are you in the OMSCS or on-campus program? I'm currently enrolled in CS 6601 (Artificial Intelligence) via OMSCS, and while it's extremely difficult material that requires a lot of personal investment to master, I've found both TAs and other students to be as helpful as one could reasonably expect.
OMSCS. The TAs refuse to answer questions because it could help cheating. They won't review homework because it could help cheating. They've created an environment so full of fear that it's impossible to learn from mistakes. I'm surprised the slack channel is allowed.

I've never had a direct question to a TA go unanswered (and I've asked my fair share of questions). They're not going to just give you the solution to the homework, though. I guess it depends on what kind of questions you're asking?
