With fail rates this high, how does the course leader "know" if their course is well structured in how well it educates people?
Making a test hard is easy, making a test an accurate measure of ability and understanding achieved is hard.
Note: some of my courses have too high pass rates/rates for a first, but 100% fail rate is as much an indicator of a bad course/lecturer as it is of poor students.
>>
>>8592780
In most STEM subjects, there are usually 2-4 courses with such high fail rates (over 70%), something like over 95% is still rare, Just saying, not that everyone on /sci/ now thinks every course at a German university has 100% fail rate.
>>

He doesn't, but who cares? Brainlets that need a good professor to learn shouldn't be in university anyway.

"med school" is university. The universities that offer medical degrees are often big enough to have several campuses, one of which is usually dedicated to medicine. You can actually go straight into a 7 year Doctor of Medicine degree the first semester after graduating but you've gotta have the best of the best UMAT scores (an external test done for admittance to medical degrees).

Often you are encouraged to do a different course such as a Bachelor of Advanced Science w/Hons or Engineering for a year to get you adjusted to uni life since unis often don't like having kids as low as 17 years old in their medical degrees and you can switch to the MD course if you've got good results but technically you can go straight into MD, you've just gotta be practically perfect.

This is pretty much what I was thinking, except Category Theory instead of the Intro to Category Theory.

for some reason Intro to Category Theory is not a co-requisite of Category Theory, so I thought id just self study the basics we dont cover in Category Theory.

not the guy you replied to but the idea that STEM majors are autistic spergs that struggle with non-STEM/communication is really stupid.

I don't know if it's because they necessarily want their field of study to seem more important, but rather I think sometimes they conclude STEM people are damaged because it fits their narrative that only a damaged person could enjoy things they can't do or are disinclined to do.

Clearly a cool, cultured modern intellectual reads plays, goes to art galleries, appreciates diversity, believes in equality, and can't do math.

And if you can do math, it must mean you're not at all engaged in culture or ethics, and any difference of opinion you have must be as a result of you being terrible at Non-STEM.

Memorize? What the fuck? In Calc 2 my professors allowed us to bring flashcards with the most important things.

But I guess if you need memorizing then do the flashcards and then do like 50 quadrillion problems until you memorize everything and then don't need the flashcards.

Linear Algebra can be taught very interesting, with less focus on the matrix computations and more focus on the underlying concepts.

You take what you can get. On the other hand, it includes multiple imputation methods, IV panel models based on the GMM framework, and SEM for panel data so I can probably take something away from it (even though its at the polisci department in contrast to the other courses).
>>
>>8599191
what software do you use for your econometrics classes? my department used to use SAS but this year we've switched to R
>>
>>8599224
I use Stata and I would generally argue, also from what Ive heard at the Econ department, that it is preferable for applied work, because the data manipulation and analysis is by comparison far easier than it is in R. Sure, the language you learn by doing so isn't transferable and in some time I will have to get used to something more intricate, in particular for methods that are not as well supported by Stata (GIS, machine learning, and so forth), but for now and for general purposes I would say it is great. In particular, if the department pays for licenses or you torrent the multi-core version.

t. thinking about doing geo major

I think so, it applies to a lot of different fields. Hydrology, petroleum and natural gas, mining, environmental science, natural disasters. Going higher than bachelor's would open up things like seismology and geophysics, research, better chance at jobs in federal govt.
A lot of environmental consulting firms hire geologists as environmental scientists because environmental science can sometimes be too broad and a geologist can do about anything an environmental scientist can do. So when the president is conservative, go work for oil and natural gas while the environmental scientist is unemployed and when the country is liberal you could go to environmental science job.
What about geology interests you?

I just can speak for Germany. Usually a Bachelor consist of 180 credits with a regular study period of 6 semester. Of course there are exception.

In the normal case (like what's planned) it's planned to take 4-6 courses per semester with usually 5-9 credits. So in a German EE, CS or whatever program you got like 5 subjects รก 6 credits for example. 1 credit is calculated as 30~ hrs. so you a fulltime schedule per semester is (in theory) 900 hrs. ((5 subjects x 6 credits) x 30 hrs).

But that's just the theory. It's not unusual just taking 2-4 courses since they workload is in theory a lot higher and in fact people need to study longer than the planned period of study time of 6 semester. For example in our department just 7%~ are according to the official stastic finished with their degrees in the regular period of study time. Regular semester is about 16 weeks long.
