  For many Georgia Tech students, the phrase "Chem 2216 lab" evokes a mix of dread and determination. Known for its rigorous curriculum and lengthy sessions, this upper-level chemistry course has earned a reputation among undergraduates as one of the most time-intensive experiences in their academic journey. But why does Chem 2216 feel so never-ending? To uncover the truth behind the grueling hours, we spoke with current and former Georgia Tech students who have braved the lab benches to share their perspectives. The Reality of Long Lab Sessions At first glance, the schedule for Chem 2216 seems daunting: labs can last anywhere from four to six hours—or even longer if complications arise. For most students, this far exceeds the typical two- or three-hour labs they’ve encountered in introductory courses. “Walking into Chem 2216 felt like stepping into another dimension,” said Sarah K., a third-year chemical engineering major. “I was used to finishing labs quickly, but here, it...

 The gaming industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR). As we look into 2025, these technologies are not only enhancing the player experience but also redefining how games are developed, marketed, and played. This article explores how AI and VR are revolutionizing game development and what this means for the future of gaming. The Rise of AI in Game Development 1. Enhanced Game Design AI is changing the landscape of game design by enabling developers to create more complex and immersive worlds. Procedural generation, powered by AI algorithms, allows for the automatic creation of expansive environments, quests, and narratives. Instead of manually designing every element, developers can leverage AI to generate content that is unique and tailored to player preferences. This not only saves time but also enriches the gameplay experience. 2. Smarter Non-Player Characters (NPCs) AI is also enhanc...
