oh man, but Im basically taking undergrad math so its all good :)

?????
What clown college is this

isnt computer science 3/4 programming? i just majored in this, please say yes

*waits for your answer near a cliff*

Semester isn't over yet for me. Hence NGR.

>High School sophomore
>Abstract Algebra

"Alright class, today we are going to be learning about how to find the minimum of a parabola. Plug and chug!"

As.

The girl I liked failed orgo II, I should have helped her I guess.

Statistics I - 7+
Labour Law - 9+
Professional Relations - 7
Macroeconomics II - 8
Calculus III - 6

I don't wanna be a show off but it really is Abstract Algebra at a rigorous level

fuck off

Gen Bio II: A
Calculus II: W
Spanish I: B+
Research/ Argumentative Writing: A
Speech: not yet posted, expecting B

So my friend here, and I mostly, are gonna fail this semester

> Physics majors

Former physics majors, current business majors, you mean.

Estimated

Web analytics: A
Marketing Management Seminar: ??? (professor is secretive as fuck about grades)
Strategic Mgmt and Policy: A
German II: A/A- (really only took this for fun and needed credits)

Oddly enough this semester [graduating this week] was easy but the previous one had some rather difficult and infamous math classes. I'm a marketingfag (technically business administration) and wonder every day if I should have gone into STEM, electrical/mechanical engineering specifically, but as long as you're familiar with stat, web analytics [using the software and knowing how to find and interpret meaningful relationships], and actually understand human behavior (way beyond what uni will teach you) marketing is pretty useful right now.

Doesn't matter; graduated.

>got 4.0 and the award for excellence in the graduating class in my last institution's physics program
>georgia tech excluded my physics courses' quality points in their gpa calculation
>only managed to pull a 3.11 in tech's mechanical engineering program

Those good unis are no joke. Brainpower alone just doesn't cut it there. Didn't help that I had my wild phase while I was there. Some fun stuff happens down in Atlanta.

>getting extra gpa for an A+
holy shit grade inflation is worse than I thought

I just want my grades man.

Separations - A
Advanced Transport Phenomena - A
Transport Phenomena Lab (separate class) - A
Analytical Chemistry - A

have fun with the ban kiddie

Absolutely not. You don't want brainlet children, do you?

>people from UMD are on this board RIGHT now

Yep

Diff eq: A+
Physics 3: A-
Circuits 2: A
Embedded Systems: A
Intro Philosopy: A+
Physics 1 Lab: A+
EE Lab 2: A+
Semester Gpa: 3.93
Cumgpa: 3.97

(Taking physics 1 lab now because hadnt before and need it for minor which I recently added)

wayne state baybay

Oh shit someone from Wayne? What program?!

Can attest to this.

>long hours & late nights doing CAD, machining, prototype testing, and material couriering
>bidding for corporate-commissioned projects
>surveying your end consumers to evaluate the relative importance of their needs
>team project after team project after team project
>consistently presenting your design progress before peers & non-specialists
>materials selection based on current market trends and capital availability
>open-ended creative design processes with your aim being low cost input & high quality output, and there are no concrete right answers
>sometimes have to learn more obscure facets of tangent fields like physics, materials science, or electrical/civil/architectural engineering to make your projects work out
>ultimately only doing the math & physics in the context of either rough estimates to choose among different designs, justifying the declaration of a value as negligible or "ideal" in physicist terms, or parameterizing your creative design to make levelized cost a function of physical system parameters

She isn't stupid, she just isn't resolved.

I finished up my precalculus courses this semster and I move onto calculus and my Computer Science courses next semester Grades this semester were B B C C.

No resolve to learn. So she's stupid.

No, I can still save her. :'(

I slacked a bit this semester, but I didn't really care as long as I keep a 2.75 my scholarships came through so That's all I really care about.

I think I'm going to fail my Physics finals fuck help wtf I do

Just study as much as you can without depriving yourself of sleep, and try to get all of the core concepts that you think are gonna be on the exam. If it's calc based physics it's gonna suck ass. If it's regular physics you should still have a chance.

It's intro physics using calc
I really need to pass this fucking course or else I'm fucked

Just be yourself, you'll be fine.

Im a cyberscurity (comp-sci) major so I'm lucky that I don't have to take that. That being said I'm not an expert, If I know anything about calculus it's that your main problems are gonna be your formulas, identities, and algebraic rules, so get some studying in on that. Drop your social obligations no matter what they may be. doesn't matter if it's girl stuff or family stuff tell them very politely to fuck off. Make sure you sleep that's important, but also alot all of the time you're not sleeping to running equations. Get some flash cards together for any formulas, identities, or any special terms/ variables that you need to know, and run through those. get a really long playlist of calming logical music such as classical or chiller type music, whatever makes you feel comfortable, and just go at it, and keep going at it until you've gotta go take the test or sleep. Can't stress enough that you need to get enough sleep.

Do you people really have all your grades in already? I know all my professors are going to put it off to the last minute.

That B was totally deserved, I didn't do shit for that class and it was shit. Design will probably be an A- or A, but I also pissed off the professor last week so who knows. Economics will probably be like an A-, EM should be an A for sure, Physics is probably like a B that class was awful. I'm graduating anyway, as long as I don't fail anything who gives a shit.

What the fuck school gives above a 4? My school just has no A+ at all.

There's another kind of physics besides calc-based?

What did you do for your design project? I'm a ChemE too.

we design a chemical

How the hell does that work? The most basic kinematics are calc-based.

Yeah at my University they have a regular intro to physics course, and then they have a physics course labelled as Calc based physics.

Not even done with finals yet, but probably failed DiffEq and Circuits.

*samefag* It may include calc in the intro, but the calc based course is definitely more complex.

holy fuck I got trips noice

Sour gas plant with amine sweetening, Claus sulfur recovery, gas dehydration, and fractionation. I'm glad I'm not going into oil and gas because I am absolutely sick of reading about natural gas.

DiffyQ and circuits are pretty analogous once you get into the transient response of circuits with inductors & capacitors.

>I = dq/dt

>Resistor: V = R*(dq/dt)
>Capacitor: V = (1/C)*q
>Inductor: V = L*[(d/dt)(dq/dt)]

They're the 0th, 1st, and 2nd derivative of charge, and the sum of the voltages across these elements in any given loop will be dictated by Kirchoff's voltage law.

I attend a top-5 school in the US. (I can't reveal any more detail than this, else I lose anonymity.)

Oh I understand the material, I'm just lazy and didn't do the homework/assignments. It was actually really cool learning them together and understanding the practical applications in real time, while developing alternate methods for attacking problems in each class that were applicable to the other.

>Top 5
>Everyone is really smart so we give them a little boost so none of their feelings get hurt!

>at a rigorous level
>Fraleigh

No, it's high school level.

This is actually false. The average GPA in my subject area at my school is approximately 3.15 (and this includes the 4.33 contributions from A+es).

I know My GPA took a bit of a kick this semester, but mostly it was because of my own lack of effort.

Yeah, not putting in the effort will get you. I was fortunate to be in exclusively project/research-related courses this semester: I naturally enjoy research projects because they give me the opportunity to do/create new things, and it tends to show in my final deliverables. This probably explains how I managed to pull the straight A+es this semester.

It was all my pre-calculus courses I had to take em at the same time (Pre-cal Algebra, and Pre-cal Trig). Giving minimal effort I still made C's in both, but if I cut all the time I wasted with others I would've gotten A's/B's easy. Tbh I'm my own worst enemy.

meet up at stamp you brainlet faggots

Minimal effort? Smart but lazy? Sounds like you're in for a successful college career.

Do you need to take so many of these simultaneously? I understand that these are fairly fundamental prerequisites, but it is important that you are able to focus, absorb, and set your roots well early. If there's too much on your plate, you'll inherently miss key details and go into an "educational debt" that detracts from your ability to truly benefit from more advanced courses.

Not him, and but that basically describes mine so far.

Nobody here cares who you are. We're more concerned with ideas than people.

Yale engineering is shit anyway.

Yeah I couldn't take any elective humanities because of all of my AP History stuff I took in High School. So in order to keep credit hours, and not have to graduate late I had to knock out both my math prereqs this semester, but next semester the big boy stuff starts. Calculus I, is my only challenging class next semester so as long as I actually take the time to study I'll have some fun. I'm at Tennessee Tech so the STEM classes can be a little brutal, but I'll probly be fine.

I'm not at Yale.

>engineering
He's in a CS program, and it's Stanford that does the grade inflation.

>registrar.stanford.edu/students/definition-grades/grade-point-average-gpa-and-class-rank-policy/how-general-university-gpa

Decent school for CS, though. Not the best one in the thread for his program of study, but it's better than most.

>he fell for the private undergrad university meme
Unless you are a giga minority, come from poverty, or come from wealth I feel bad for your bank account bro, but do good things and it will work out

What major are you?

FOOTBALL

In one of the worst performing majors at the school. Brainlet.

Footballs don't have brains, you fool. You will bow before my leathery hide.

ChemE.

the clean, feels good 3.8

Diff Eq: A
assembly coding: A
database: A
physics: A
Intro to stat: B

CS major with a minor in math, i destroyed de but didn't clutch the A in stat which is slight ironic

Anyone from UNSW here?

Feels pretty good man

JOHN MADDEN

I dont want to

B-/B average
I was being lazy as shit and I'm currently studying over the summer, as I would like an A-/A average.

Ew queens

In my school the core programming courses are:

>Intro Programming
>Second Semester Programming course (which includes more theory)
>Data Structures (But this is more focused on the math side of things)
>Computer Architectures
>Operating Systems

After that what students take can differ. I like theoretical CS, so I like the courses around discrete math, theory of computation, graph theory, combinatorics, category theory, abstract algebra, number theory, and so on.

But you could specialize in other areas such as graphics, machine learning, HCI, among many other options.

I meant to add that the courses I listed are CORE PROGRAMMING courses at my school, since you asked about programming specifically. The other core course requirements don't involve programming like Algorithms. If your school is like mine, then you will do a fair bit of programming in CS. I just happen to like theoretical CS so there is less programming in those courses, but I still take core CS courses, so I can program well just like everyone else in major.

>study my ass off throughout the semester
>get an 89
>half ass the course and barely show up to class
>get an 82

how it works for you guys, do you get 3 tests a semester or just one final test ?

Vector calc
Physics 2
Public speaking

Still got four weeks to go, senpai. But I got over 90% on all midterms.

Finals next week, my presc. adderall pill box only has 2 caps left LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO.

Linear Algebra (A-)
Introduction to R and SAS (A)
Introduction to Pyton (A-)
Loss Models (B)
Intro to Psychology (B+)
Derivatives Math (A)

I'm a brainlet I know

how do you get prescribed it if you don't need it? you pay off the doctor?

I should emphasize that "Derivatives Math" is for financial derivatives, and involves Delta-Gamma Hedging, Monte Carlo Valuation, etc. It's a kind of a niche course that they added to my Act Sci major this semester.

3 tests plus the final exam per class.

Another stupid undergrad thread bereft of scientific discussion.

I DO need it, but I've heard getting a presc. is easy south of the border and then bring it here if you catch my drift.

Depends on the course.

I didn't have any finals this semester, but I did do a lot of a third option: semester-long projects. Things sped up more and more until I was at a grueling pace, then my semester ended with expos & presentations right before finals week, and I didn't have a final. I had three of these courses this semester, and I'm pretty sure the stress thinned some of my hair.

Also, laboratory courses. You get materials along with either lab instructions or the mathematical model you're trying to verify or disprove using experimentation. A different one each week. Write lab reports documenting your work, perform error analyses, present your findings before a panel of peers, and hang with qt azn girls. Because these are done in teams.
