Challenger Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 I had the opposite happen, had 3 chinese kids in our calc class, they hardly spoke english and seemed to have a reaaaalllly hard time following along. Funny thing about the class was, the entire left side minus 2-3 people dropped out of the class. Only 1 or 2 dropped out from the right side.

X64v Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 MechE Sophomore at the University of Arizona, classes started 25 Aug. I've got Physics 241 (Electricity and Magnetism), Calc 223 (Vector calc), CE 210 (Hand Drafting + AutoCAD), CE 214 (Statics), and an intro to Psych class. Statics and Vector Calc are beautiful classes (though my specific ones are far too easy). A surprisingly useful class is Diff. Eq's (took it last semester, a bit out of order). It's conceptually heavy, but lots of fun, and really simplifies a lot of stuff (Newton's law of heating/cooling, for example). I'm going through hell in my E and M class. Not that the concepts are hard, but the Prof. is. Rumor has it he got suspended three years ago because he failed an entire class... And next semester I get to pick my minor back up with German 300. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Howd it go for everyone? Im ending up with a 4.0 in calc 2 somehow :), atleast a 87.5% (on the border of 3.3/3.5, I here he considers attendance, effort, etc) in physics, and a 4.0 in health. This quarter will really help my GPA! Funny thing on my math final was it was insanely hard, everyone in the rest of the class felt terrible about it. I ended up getting a 82.5 (needed a 84 to keep my 4.0) and she added 10 pts to everyones score since it was so hard. I found out that many of the answers I thought were completely wrong (most) turned out right... I think she just graded nicely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Definitely could have gone a lot better... a LOT better... At least I'll know the material of the classes I took really well by the time I pass them... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The only thing I have left is my final check ride for my Private Pilot License (yeah...still working on it lol) And looks like im gonna have to wait through the weekend because of weather.

At least I'll know the material of the classes I took really well by the time I pass them... right? yup, I've discovered that I really don't want to be an EE. Statics, however, turned out to be not that bad for only understanding every 3rd word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I really need to get back into school. Not really sure what I would want to do though. I sure do miss it though. Same here. I would love to go back to school and study what 'I want to study' not what 'I have to study.' If I could do it all over again, I would have: 1) Taken my time in school. Four years in & out is an elitist fad 2) Studied in areas where I actually had strengths. This would have given me much more of a sense of accomplishment and have been more useful. A Ph.D or Masters would be in the cards. I suppose I could still do that, but there are many automotive related sciences I would love to delve in. The more practical the better. 3) Had even MORE fun I would have tried more things, played more sports, maybe worked more internships during school. 4) Waited a year or two before beginning college. I could have traveled or worked for a year prior to going to college. Taking out student loans is bogus and I probably could have done it without putting myself in 5 years worth of debt after college. 5) Bought a 240Z to drive during college! I should have shot my 200SX when I had the chance. It's in a landfill now I'm sure. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Eh, this semester wasn't too harsh. really wish i had taken ceramics instead of film aesthetics though. other than that, my insane com research class and french finals went pretty well....except for the fact i forgot how to do the "future" tense >_< i wont know my grades for another couple weeks but as long as i keep my scholarship, i'm good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78280z Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Lucky you...I have one more final on Monday at 8am. And how is your project coming man? Since I live far away from my school, I haven't gotten to make any weekend trips home to work on the Z, so my project is at a standstill right now. But, I'm hoping to get some stuff done over this break and then in the spring and summer I'll really hammer down to get it done and on the road. How about you? I think I saw you make a few posts about picking up a turbo motor ...haha it must be fast now! Let me know how it came out...I will probably be going turbo in the future, too. Anyway, good luck on your last final man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAce Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Got my last final in an hour, then a pair of papers to finish up (that I really, really just don't care about anymore) then it's back home for xmas. And I have to find a job next year that'll let me work on the Z, all while writing my senior thesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zclubhouse Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Finishing up finals tomorrow with Biology 4050- Genetics. Graduating in the spring with a bachelor's in Biology, minor in chemistry and botany. In school in Indianapolis and the z is at home in wisconsin, talk about going crazy. Looking forward to the last winter break of my life, should be clocking some serious time in the garage with my new heater! Trying not to think about next semester too much... (Molecular Biochemistry, Virology, Advanced Plant Taxonomy, Mycology, Senior Seminar, Finishing up 2 1/2 years of independent research, and T.A. for Organic Chem and Botany,) all while trying to find a job . However I don't envy you physics/engineering majors, I narrowly survived my brush with differential equations and E&M, good luck to you all!
