Spring 2017 Grades

>>8894463
OP here,

Would be a 4.0 GPA this Spring and past Fall.
Computer Science. Pure Math interest me greatly. More so than "engineering".

My country don't do a,b,c grades, but I looked online and if I convert my grades to a GPA It's 3.9 to 4.0.. Can't wait to start in uni in a couple of months

linear b
e&m b
astro a
quantum c
lab work a

>>8894552
just curious, why were you taking linear algebra and QM same semester?

Independent Research Project [Coding theory] (A+)
Sub-linear Algorithms and Mathematical Optimization (A+)
Approximation Algorithms (A+)
Information Theory (A+)
Computational Psychology (A+)

Spring GPA: 4.33/4.0

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

> Physics majors

>>8895270
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.

No resolve to learn. So she's stupid.

>>8895394
No, I can still save her. :'(

>>8895393
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

>>8895411
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.

>>8895414
It's intro physics using calc
I really need to pass this fucking course or else I'm fucked

>>8895416
Just be yourself, you'll be fine.

>>8895416
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.

>>8894596
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?

>>8895431
What did you do for your design project? I'm a ChemE too.

>>8895436
we design a chemical

>>8895435
How the hell does that work? The most basic kinematics are calc-based.

>>8895435
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.

>>8895440
*samefag* It may include calc in the intro, but the calc based course is definitely more complex.

>>8895441
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.

>>8895431

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

>>8895464
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.

>>8895466
>Top 5

>>8895178
>at a rigorous level
>Fraleigh

No, it's high school level.

>>8895474

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).

>>8895481
I know My GPA took a bit of a kick this semester, but mostly it was because of my own lack of effort.

>>8895483

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.

>>8895489
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.

>>8895492
Minimal effort? Smart but lazy? Sounds like you're in for a successful college career.

>>8895492

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.

>>8895495
Not him, and but that basically describes mine so far.

>>8895466
Nobody here cares who you are. We're more concerned with ideas than people.

Yale engineering is shit anyway.

>>8895497
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.

>>8895503

I'm not at Yale.

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.

>>8896235
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.

>>8896315
how do you get prescribed it if you don't need it? you pay off the doctor?

>>8896325
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.

>>8896295
3 tests plus the final exam per class.

Another stupid undergrad thread bereft of scientific discussion.

>>8896327
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.

>>8896295
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.

Kek

Linear: A
Calculus 3: A
Diff eq: W
Physics 2: W

Sadly had to withdraw from half my courses due to medical issues taking up a lot of my time.

My diff eq professor hated me for some reason. And despite having an A in the course I wasn't able to complete the last test or the final giving me an F so I chose to withdraw for the refund.

I was emailing him for over a month trying to get an incomplete because I knew I wouldn't have time and he sent me to the dean who flat out told me that issuing incompletes was the professor's decision and that I was probably sent to him because my professor wasn't interested in dealing with me anymore.

Nice gut punch that is gonna set me back an entire semester for a course I had completed nearly all of the material for.

Honestly just venting cause I'm pissed off.

You get nervous during presentations?

Two tips
>practice a lot, like 10 times the night before, 5 times the morning of and once right before class
>right as that wave of anxiety washes over you while you walk up to the front, realize that it's okay to feel nervous in this situation. You're supposed to feel nervous, what makes it worse is when you try to suppress it and lie to yourself that you aren't. If you've followed step 1, you're damn well ready to give that presentation. Just accept that you feel nervous and that IT'S OKAY because the thing you're doing is important.
^this also works with anything else that makes you nervous

I need urgent help

I fucked up really hard on my Linear Algebra midterm and I then proceeded to go often to office hours after to make sure I improved and my professor told me that he thought I was very well prepared for the final and that I would do great. I was one out of 10 people in a 50 person class to attend and I showed up everyday in the morning.

I feel like I bombed the final and I feel like I'm risking to get a C. It's definitely better than how I did on first midterm, but I don't feel that good. I really just want a pity B.

Should I go see him after the second Linear Algebra final to talk to him in person my concerns or try to schedule an appointment via e-mail? Or just send him an e-mail about my concerns?

What is the best way to approach this? I'm a brainlet and really need help

>Also, just stop going out and seeing other people.

This is the trick, really. If you want to pull straight A's, at least if you're studying science or engineering, you really need to spend most of your free time, including most weekends, studying. There isn't much room for partying if you want to be a 4.0 student, although I find time occasionally. I'm a fast learner too and I still have to spend most of my free time studying so I'm not even exaggerating.

Math major. I failed one of my very early math classes (like tard math, HS algebra). The other failures were electives, but they've mostly been replaced now.

"interdisciplinary research is very important"
Not really. To politicians, maybe. And to the arts (because they need science to do anything since they're worthless on their own). But very little need be interdisciplinary research--it's not important in the least.

Hi, complete nerd here (physics). humanities aren't even remotely hard. I took the renowned "hard" upper div classes at my school (top 20) in philosophy, history, and econ for the challenge and there was none whatsoever. Lots of reading, but very little thinking necessary.

Good grad schools don't like shitty little schools. Good grad schools care about rec letters from people they know, and those people don't work at your shit schools. You need to stop drinking the koolaid nig
