Are there two correct answers?

Couldn't you technically give 32 .5mg tablets or 4 4mg tablets?

Anyway. My best educated guess would be 4 4mg tablets.

>>38586361
this. is there a trick to it? maybe to choose whether 0.5 or 4mg? is med really such a ripoff?

>>38586361
>he takes the 4mg tablet
>4 mg kills him because he has a condition that makes him die if he takes more than 0.5 mg of dexadickafuck at a time

sry dr r9k you killed the fucking patient
I'd assume giving smaller portions is always better since regardless of how much they're supposed to take at one time, they can just take more pills

e.g. if they need to take 1mg per day they could take two 0.5s but they'd be shit out of luck if you handed them 4mg

What the fuck would make someone want to do that?

Not everyone--I would wager a minority--have an above average capacity for quantitative thinking. Your exercise doesn't look terribly difficult, but it's not something that comes 'naturally' to me, as it may come to you.

I'm currently about to transfer to a state university after being in community college drop-out purgatory for a long while. I have to take a math admission text exclusive to my major, education, and if I don't pass it, then I effectively have switch majors, and my previous effort would've been for vain. Unlike your exam, mine is varied and filled with logic questions and geometry shit that I absolutely hate. So yeah, I get your classmates anxiety--since I have it too.

>>38586332
Yes

They literally want to ban College Algebra because Mexicans/blacks can't pass

>>38586361

>>38586401
It's already happened in California, at the public school level at least. A program called 'Statway', launched by Carnegie Mellon as a way of bypassing college algebra requirements, has been approved by the UC and CSU systems. Now, you essentially just need pre-algebra level knowledge and statistics in order to graduate.

I'm ambivalent about this change. Algebra was my worst subject in college, and I can see--and know--people who have dropped out because they couldn't go through their math requirements. I don't see the use in mandating art history, English, and film majors in knowing higher level algebra.

If you think, it's a good way to 'weed' out the dummies, then again, I refer to my proposition that not everyone is good at quantitative thinking.

>>38586480
Honestly we need less liberal arts majors not more

I can't imagine a more worthless degree. If anything we should make learning Latin a prerequisite to be a lib arts major like the old days

>>38586401
That's true, but have you considered that algebra is overly complicated for some people and a pretty big waste of time for those not pursuing a career with a big focus on mathematical skills?

>>38586401
Basic high school level algebra or linear algebra?

>>38586514
Liberal arts majors are good because they get duped into studying bs. Less competition for the people that actually matter.

This is for our first placement. We have 10 weeks of classes before we head off to the hospitals for 80 hours over two weeks with live patients. I still can't suppress the part of me that wanted to prescribe 32 0.5mg tablets just imagining the person trying to swallow that many.

>>38586514
Well, it's a personal issue for me. I was never able to pass intermediate algebra before the change happened. Took me two attempts to pass elementary algebra, and failed at intermed. twice, and was ready to give up on college altogether.

So when the State changed the requirements, it was basically a 'god send', as the math requirement was the only thing holding me back. I'm the guy trying to be a teacher here, most likely, I'm focusing on English and Social Science. If I'm never going to teach math, then why do I have to learn it? I can't speak to other liberal art majors in the abstract, on then falling back to it being a pointless requirement for most.

>>38586573
I'd take differential equations over anatomy and physiology any day. You have to remember the names of hundreds of different things. Formulas are much more comfy.

>>38586591
Same. I placed into elementary algebra, barley passed, failed intermediate, then barley passed, failed college algebra, then literally only passed because the teacher let wrong answers count as long as you showed work. It's the whole fucking reason I had to stay an extra year at cc and I'm majoring in fucking humanities.

>>38586332
Also a medfag, the only maths I remember were some iron pill calculations from hematology. You could 0% all of it though and still pass the rest of the exam.

>>38586541
I believe it's high-school level Algebra II. No way it's Algebra I.

>>38586520
Life was better when not everyone was expected to go to college. Now they have to dumb down College and as a result deflate the value of a degree

>>38586581
What occupation are you training for? Medical assistant or something? EMT? These problems are like 6th grade word problems.

My problem with coming up with a career plan is that trades and low level medical jobs are too easy and too routine for me. Also too many trashy and annoying people.

College level STEM courses were either pretty boring and routine or the learning curve was too steep.

So I ended up majoring in political science and ruining my life.

>>38586591
Did you ever try studying?

>>38586580
I don't know. Move over here. I didn't have to pay a penny towards community college, and now it seems with the 'Calgrant', I won't pay to pay either to my local Cal State. So basically, university is free in CA if you're a poorfag. Guess we don't advertise this fact too much, because then we'd get a bunch of transplants from other across the country, coming for 'much free college'.

>>38586628
I feel your pain, dude. Your story and mine are extremely common, as I'm told by counselors and classmates. Nice choice with your humanities major. I'm strongly considering it as a back up, myself. I believe my university requires an ancient language requirement though, e.g. Latin or Greek. I'm not about to study some fucking dead language. No thanks.

This honestly makes me pretty mad. I feel like they were being soft enough by allowing people to take either stats or calculus. Teacher is a pretty underpaid job, and usually fairly competitive except when there are teacher shortages (rare). Too many degrees are being handed out, and graduates job prospects are suffering as a result.

>dexamathasone

>>38586480
great, just another reason to make your degree worthless

>>38586401
It's true I'm a mexican burger I had to take all the pre-college algreba. But I'm glad I stuck with it because I ended up taking college algebra/trig/3x calc/diff eqs and getting A's in them like a double stuft good boy.

Then I switched to a major that doesn't need all that math anyway. But it felt nice getting better in a subject that I sucked ass in previously.

>>38586604

We only seem to do very basic chem too it's ridiculous. I remember asking for the chemical formula to calculate ATP from one glucose in the presence of oxygen and my tutor just stared blankly at me for 10 seconds and said "All you need to know is it's 32". Gee sorry for not being retarded.

>>38586685
There's a teacher shortage throughout the U.S., because it's a severely underpaid job. It made fuck all sense to mandate people like me to learn differential equations or even quadratics even. If you think about it, if I knew how to do quadratics, non-linear, differentials, cubic functions etc., why the fuck would I be going into teaching? If I had that capacity, then I'd be going into CompSci or Eng programs. Teaching is like the 'trench work' of the professions. No one who's 'smart' would do it voluntarily, since the state isn't paying up.

I'm going for it, because California is increasing teacher salaries because of the aforementioned. And once I factor in the 3 month vacations, and paid sick leave that Europoors boast about, then it's not such a raw deal. Plus, I tolerate kids, and hate dealing with adults/bosses. If you think about it, teaching is actually a very robot friendly job.

>>38586332
It's the possibility of failure and withdrawal from the program that triggers them. Our basic med admin tests in nursing school were about at that difficulty with two chances before forced withdrawal.
It's not that the path you're walking is hard(at this moment), it's that if you do manage to fuck up and fall, it's all over bub. The undergrad, the MCAT, the mountains of student loans you already have, you fuck up and you're through. 10 chances means it won't really happen but the message is clear and something they will have to get used to as the curriculum grows harder. If you fuck as a doctor, who is the authority in patient care, it's on you.
Some people need help being eased into such expectations but it must be done.

>>38586332
When you get more advanced. Child questions and labeling questions are going to be included. Shit's funny, most professors just make you create the most obscene shit in the advanced questions.

>>38586796
There's not a teacher shortage right now.

They are projecting them, but there's not one right now. At least in my region (West Coast)

I worked with guy (it was his summer job) that has been teaching on 1 year contracts for the past 5 years. This is in SoCal. He doesn't even teach a subject related to his major (history). He teaches auto shop classes because he got some certifications from a local community college while he worked in a family member's repair shop.

>>38586796
>If you think about it, teaching is actually a very robot friendly job.

My ex did meme degrees, Master of Arts, Bachelor of arts and Bachelor of Polsci specializing in feminist theory and gender studies. 300k student debt for worthless shit tier degrees from UofO libcuck central. Couldn't get a job as anything but a teacher. And yeah it's the perfect robot job. You literally can't get fired. She'd come and smoke a few bowls and plow through a whole fifth of tequila and go to work drunk. Other teachers and EAs were fucking tweakers that used to shoot up in their cars in the parking lot. Still they don't get fired. You can't even make this shit up.

>>38586796
It's not that much different in europe though.
Teacher shortages are "starting" to appear in more rural areas. The movement to the citites is being to happen faster for certain supporting professions without the demographic to support them.

So instead of people going to the cities to work, we're now having this strange shit that people are leaving the cities (were they live) to work.

You need to qualify that statement. In California, there is absolutely a shortage for elementary, special-ed, and STEM teachers. I mentioned earlier in the thread, how my preference would be teaching English and History at the secondary level. That's wishful thinking, history teachings jobs are highly coveted, since it's the only subject that males like to teach. If there aren't jobs when I review the market in a year or two, then I'll just settle for elementary work, and deal with the 11 year olds. Whatever. As long as I get my 3 months off, then I'm willing to compromise.

I don't know about your friend group, but mine made fun of teachers that turned out as losers in their Middle Ages. I wasn't even a Normie, just found it very sad how my teachers all acted like winners and then there was one who was rumored to still live with his parents. Also, teachers were accused of sexual harassment by students plenty of times even though they were the friendliest of people.

There may be a shortage in terms of teacher to student ratios, but there's no shortage in terms of the state budget. There's no hiring sprees and pay raises planned to solve the shortage. From the employee side of things, there's no shortage to capitalize on. Very few people want to put up with the shit a teacher has to put up with for what a teacher gets paid. I'd rather be a neet than slave away in a high school for 40k a year in California. It's shitty pay in a high COL state.

I'm 25 years old man with asperger's and ADD, and I'm starting adult high school next month. I already have vocational qualification in electrical engineering and I went to engineering college after that, but I dropped out. I'm not completely clueless when it comes to math and physics, but I'm still pretty anxious about school stuff.

I haven't been in school for about 7 years, and my school career was pretty shit through all my life because of my then-undiagnosed mental issues. Now that I have all the diagnoses and medication, I'm sure I can make it in the real world. My cognitive capabilities are alright (high-avereage/above average results fro IQ test), so there is really nothing preventing me from being successful.

I'm planning to get my high school diploma so that I can get enrolled in university and leave home. I'm thinking of perhaps pursuing a career in physics. If not a research scientist, there's always need for industrial physicists and other jobs alike. I just want to crunch numbers and not socialize. I was thinking of medical school, but that would probably require socializing and I don't want any of that shit.

It depends on the district, but you do know that teacher pay scales work like the military, right? 3-5k increases every year. The carrot on a stick is to rough it out for the first decade, and reach the prized 90-100k state salary, get your tenure midway, and letting yourself go.

I was on NEETbucks, and I've decided to that teaching is the most robot friendly job, because it'll give me enough time off to remind me of my previous life, while giving me the money to fuck off to Europe or Asia, and fuck cheap hookers on the breaks. If you're NEET, your life is poor and depressing, unless you have a trust-fund.

Pretty much, yes, but I understand it, I was horrible in math until I reached the age of 22 and I don't even know why. I mean, my math teachers were always non charismatic assholes and the guys who were good at math also looked like assholes with stick in their asses who shit talked about everyone who wasn't as good in math as them, so I developed a hate for even the most basic math.
Like I said, until I was 22 (I'm 24), I saw that every study who bring you a job has a shitload of math in it, so what did I do? I learned in 7 months 13 years school math, I'm not a natural talent but at least I pass my exams, I'm now in my third semester Computer Science and try to better my grades.

Abort mission on your idea for adult high school, unless you're only a few credits shy of graduating. It's very depressing going to an adult high school.It's nothing but single moms, lowlife types, and old people, fuck ups all around. You can knock out your GED with a week of studying, and go to community college and transfer to a state school after.

For your conditions, I would suggest accounting style work. Autism and Aspergers runs in my paternal side of the family. It's no coincidence that many of them are accountants or financial types. Because you've been out of the world for so long, you might want to start out with only 1-2 classes in community college. Avoid your pipe dream of medical school. Although I've had encounters with doctors that I've suspected of being on the 'spectrum', they're obviously the worst ones. We don't need more doctors with shitty bedside manner. Although feel free to go into a specialty that doesn't deal with people, like pathology, or radiology.

>>38587181

After all it's been quite some time since I actually studied, it's good to do some catching up. Also, while there are weird single moms and bums in there, there might be qt aspie grills as well. I'm not expecting the authentic high school experience, but I think it would be good to have that minimal socialization as well. As I said, who knows, there might be qt grills of my age there.
If I work hard I can get my high school papers in year and a half. It won't be having any gym or art classes or any "useless" shit like that, just math, physics, chemistry etc. the real stuff. That also means I can concentrate on the school stuff that truly matters and I don't need to worry about some retarded art projects.

>>38587588
I'm afraid to say, that you're one of 'us'. You're on the beginning cut-off though, like you say. But because you fully experienced the turn of the century, and your most formative years were during the Clinton presidency, and you experienced things like Y2K and 9/11 in a more visceral way than younger kids--yeah you're definitely a millenial.

>>38586480
It depends. If it is intrinsic to the degree it should be mandatory. If the work that you will be doing regularly uses it then you should be barred from that degree if you want to skip it. But if say you are going for a criminology degree and the jobs that you will likely get wont ever even touch that kind of math its silly to require it. At that point its just the U.S. government waving its dick around saying "Look what MY citizens know!"

But in my mind college as a whole is obsolete. It should be restructured into you picking your field / expertise and then you learn literally only what you need to learn then get thrown out onto the job market. I've learned so much useless bullshit that I can say that 75% of my degree is shit that I could of idly googled and / or will never use in my life. So much wasted time and money.

>>38587670
>and you experienced things like Y2K and 9/11 in a more visceral way than younger kids--yeah you're definitely a millenial.

I'd been shitposting on the internet for a few years when Y2k came around. I had a 56k modem by then. I remember my PC was an AMD K6-II and and I had a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee. Nvidia came out with the first Geforce card sometime around then. I even remember shitposting when I was watching 9/11 live on TV just after the first tower was hit. It was a few months after my 21st birthday and I was playing Starcraft on battle.net. I think my formative years were honestly during the Reagan and Bush era. I saw Terminator 2 at the cinemas and remember watching the first Gulf War on the news. I dunno how I could be a millenial with memories like that.

>>38587865
I'm a millennial and I agree. Anyone that can remember the Reagan years cant be lumped in with people born in the mid to late 90s.

>>38587865
I don't know if you're in a different country, and maybe the sociologists define it differently in yours, but in the U.S., the criteria simple. If you were old enough to experience the dramatic changes to society because of the tech boom/internet, and the decline of confidence in government, because of global terrorism, then you're a millennial. Simply put, anyone who got a taste of the final 1-2 decades of the 20th century, and has it in their knowledge repository, to compare how like 'was like' before the internet changed people's lives, then you're a millennial. A person born after, say, 1993-94 was too young to appreciate the difference in society. So if you're a mid 90's birth or later, then you are post millennial, or Gen Z.

>>38587911
I've heard on talkshows and podcasts, of late '70s and early '80s people complaining, about this same thing. You dont want to be lumped into the millennial category. You're too young for Gen X and too old for Gen X. I dunno, convince the sociologists to alter the definitions, or maybe you a sub-group. But as it stands, you have more in common with a Gen Y person than an Xer.

>>38588089

OP, was the point of your thread? It was very narcissistic, which isn't surprising, with you being a medfag and all. It sounds like you have a basic failure of empathy. Yes, other people are dumber than you, and some are smarter. Grass is green, and the sky is blue.

You're going to want to work on your bedside manner, if you don't want to get complaints by patients. Work on your empathy skills. You will need it for this career.

Holy fuck, it actually was that straight forward, and yours looks like a later section of the course with clinical applications and whatnot. Why is your medical course so fucking basic compared to mine? It isn't fair!

By the time people were born in the mid-90's I was already using primitive BBS. I remember it took me nearly a week and a half to download all four of the disks for the Doom install and I deleted Windows 3.1 off my computer because it was useless and I only had a 40mb HDD and it took up space I needed for Doom.

>>38588026
Thing is I was 16 when the internet first started. I clearly remember the launch of Windows 95 and installing it on my shiny new CD-ROM. But I remember life before the internet. Shit like teaching my grand parents how to use the VCR when I was 5 and how they were the only people we knew who owned a "mircowave oven" or my school raising money to buy an Apple Macintosh 2 for the year 7 students. Shit I even saw ET at the cinemas and remember the hype when the Michael Jackson Thriller special aired on TV. I don't just remember 9/11 I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall and my first consol was an Atari 2600. Millenials don't remember shit like that.

Fucking end me. I am starting political sci soon. Well at least i will end up as a neet with some knowledge

i--its all I'm interested in. I mean getting a bachelor's in anything is much better than not having one at all? Right? right?!

Save them if they are never updated its legal grounds to get the class expunged and even refunded if you fail. Syllabuses are legal binding documents and errors like that can give you a lot of wiggle room. Don't intentionally do something stupid but keep it as a safety net. Real nice if the professor turns out to be a fucking psycho.

>>38586729
Yes. There is a lot of jokes to make people laugh. On one of my exams the professor had us working with "Fucitall" an antidepressant.

Generations generally run for 2-3 decades. You are on the beginning end of millennial, and thus, you saw 'more shit', than the younger millennials that came after you. But for the purposes of sociology, you're the same as someone born in 1990, even through a 27 year old didn't get to see the Berlin Wall and Reagan etc. Again, it's in the name 'millennial', the most defining characteristic is that you saw and experienced the turn of the millennium. I'm a '92 birth and I'm on the outer fringe on Gen Y and beginning of Gen Z. I had an NES and Genesis, Windows 95 computer, remember the AOL and Modem sounds, not being able to use the phone, going to Blockbuster to rent movies, going to friend's houses to go on play dates and 'adventures' around the the neighborhood. I didn't understand the magnitude of Y2K and 9/11 but I knew that it was scary stuff and that the adults around me were scared.

So I got a brief, very brief, sample of how life was before the net, and remember what it was like before always 'on' bandwidth was mainstream, before social media and smartphones became commodities. I remember having to insert the VHS tapes too, and rewind them etc. My most cherished music were the top hits of the 90s' that were playing in my car rides or on my friend's stereos. So yeah, I definitely understand more Gen Y 'feels' than those of the Gen Z cohort.

People born in the late 90s, and onwards, didn't experience these feels. They're more firmly digital natives, who didn't deal these 'dinosaur' technologies, and such. They're the biggest cunts because everything is instant gratification for them. I can sit around at doctor's appointment or some other public place without looking at my phone in 20 mins. I remember not having a phone, and so it's not essential to me. I can pick up a magazine, or just go into my inner thoughts, maybe meditate a little, or just 'zone out'. The Gen Z (Net Zombies) can't do that.

>>38588266
What did you think was the end-game when going into pol-sci? Where could you possibly use that degree?

>>38588531
Not him but I'm also going into it. I'm thinking about working in the public sector either at the federal or state or even city level. Maybe the neetbux department.

Going the nursing route was a mistake. I wasted a BS on behavioral science thinking I could just torture animals all day for ok pay. Research was boring and shitty with horrible pay. After a couple years I decided fuck this, I'll wipe asses for $60k. This is the exact same math we had, dimensional analysis. Only twice in the whole program was call HCP and question the order the answer, and it was on something like 1kg KCl IVP. I wish I went into medicine. I never studied much and was A and B student while 70% class had to repeat at least one semester. When I got my ACLS I was helping out pajeet the surgery resident with remembering his algorithms(there is no pulse, don't worry about adenosine). GPA is shit sa MD might be hard, but I'm still considering going for DO. Medicine is more detailed but apparently not that much after talking with a couple bros off student doctor network.

>I can pick up a magazine

I think one thing that never changes is how shitty those magazines are.

The problem is the pressure of being expected to 100% it, not the actual exercise. No matter how easy or difficult it may be.
Think about walking a bar a foot above the ground and then a hundred feet. Isn't this going to drastically influence someone's performance? People may have trouble with even basic mathematics if you put this sort of pressure on them, especially if they're not particularly good at it in the first place.

Maybe taking full power over my country in bad times and making it the powerful country it once was. O-other than that, I just want a comfy life in a small shed away from everything

>I remember asking for the chemical formula to calculate ATP from one glucose in the presence of oxygen and my tutor just stared blankly at me for 10 seconds and said "All you need to know is it's 32".
Because that is a really lengthy metabolic pathway. And a net formula isn't really worth anything, because the interesting part is why the net formula looks like it does.
Not to mention that the synthesis is technically not an entirely chemical process due to the unusual way ATP Synthase actually functions.

It really isn't that much harder. I did nursing and used my Ba to get into the M.D.

Thing that made me do it is nurses have shit all for career advancement. It can take you 9 years to become a Nursing Practionioner and have a very limited number of roles or positions available to you if you actually manage to even get a graduate posistion at all. Or 8 to do a Ba and M.D and you never have to worry about a job. Hospitals will happily shaft RN's to employ EN's or AINs and leave their NPs doing bandages, but they don't fuck with Doctors. Doctors just breeze through their wards doing a few quick consults during their rounds and claim all the credit for patient outcomes but RN's do 90% of the work. Nurses initially come out ahead money/time wise but Doctors quickly surpass them once they've done residency and a few years of practice and have huge scope for further advancement.

>>38586479
Honestly, this.
I hope OP is not going to a real school.

>>38586641
I don't get how all the dumbos getting some worthless degree don't realize this.

>>38588696
I just don't like how they say shit like ATP with one glucose in the presence of oxygen is 32 and without oxygen it's 2. Just makes me think of balancing equations like if they just wrote the formula on the slides or something so I can understand HOW they arrive at that number it makes it a lot easier for me to visualize. But I gotta go to Khan Academy to actually see it because it's too much effort for my university to tell me. But then again these are the guys that balked at me balancing the bicarbonate buffer system in one of my lab workbooks to try explain acidosis/alkalosis because I'm only supposed to remember "CO2 + H2O <-> H2C03 <-> HCO3- + H+" but don't need to know how it works aside from CO2 and H+ being factors.

That's just how it is, dear.

>Just makes me think of balancing equations like if they just wrote the formula on the slides or something so I can understand HOW they arrive at that number it makes it a lot easier for me to visualize
Because this makes it so much easier to understand, huh?
This isn't even the complete pathway.

they're probably not afraid of the math, they're afraid of trick questions designed to fuck you over

retake bio/chem if you didn't get an A in those, otherwise move on, you have plenty chances to pad your gpa
