Members candh Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 This thread just gives me shivers. God damn that {censored} was rough. Stats, Calc, and Physics all at the same time. Mojo sent along with.....STFU and dig in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rushtallica Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 first one of the semester... and we only have 4... I was so tired from being up all night and I went completely blank and forgot how to do a ton of things. Really struggled through it.... I'll be lucky to pull a 60%.... basically just completely {censored}ed myself up and going to make it hard to get a decent grade (and possibly to even pass ) this class.... and I needed these credits to finish my AA this semester.... yeah..... extremely unhappy... ...yay... I've had the same experience in a chem class once. Occasionally I had thought I had failed tests right after taking them only to discover I didn't do quite as bad as I thought, so hopefully you'll get a bit of that type of luck, as well. If not, put this forum aside any time you could benefit from studying -- it'll always be here when you really have time -- and find other people who've had a similar experience and are motivated to get a study group together with also hopefully at least one person who rules at the $hit~! Don't let it get you down for long. The good news is you know wasting too much time on here and watching the game was a major problem rather than your ability to learn and do the work. Use that as motivation to kick serious @ss on your next test. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NoodleFace Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 I took AP Calc and passed the test too but this community college wouldn't recognize it.. so now I'm taking pre-calc and basically getting a free A, it's awesome.

I took elementary and intermediate algebra before standard algebra (I never took algebra in high school -- got kicked out) and had good grades but only the standard algebra counts when it comes time to figuring out my GPA.

Members JBecker Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Definitely, for doing it in high school, instead of college. Meh. I wish my school accepted AP credits.

Members JBecker Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Wow. How many AP exams did you take?I took calc, english, and chem. Got college credit for 2 of 'em. If I went to BU I'd have:4 credits Math16 credits history/poli sci16 credits physics12 credits chemistry12 credits biology (maybe 8 on this but I think 12)12 credits unassigned research6 credits Spanish I think that's it.... so 82. And I would have taken a few more APs if I thought I was going somewhere that took them. Jesus, that's like halfway to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JBecker Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 You sure you're not talking about PSEO (post-secondary)? I didn't realize that there were that many AP exams. BU accepted a ton of the sciences as full year, two courses, 8 credits + 4 credits (2 a semester) of lab if you get a 5. So most sciences are 12 credits. Plus I had AP World, AP US, AP Gov. Did I forget 8 credits English? Yeah, I get a full year of intro English/writing from AP Lang and AP Lit. I took Bio Physics B Physics C Mech Chemistry Language Literature Government US History World History Calculus AB Plus, I got 12 credits at SUNY Albany for research due to a special program at my high school that would transfer. Same thing with the 6 Spanish credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JBecker Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 I wish my college had accepted my AP as full-year stuff. That's ok, I didn't get any "graduation" credit for any of my APs, though I didn't have to take intro bio, intro calc, or mechanics for my concentration.

Members Keebz Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm glad I never had to take it. I suck at math...physics I'm great at, but not math. I don't have to use it much in Landscape Architecure anyway...it's mainly all building codes, plant material/ aesthetics, grading/ drainage and ADA accessibility. All the structural stuff goes to the Engineers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Krishna Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 calculus is one of the easiest things i feel i am an engineering student so it is like a part of me best of luck hopefully there will be a curve for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chakosh Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Haha. I took this class last year as a junior in highschool. I got a 4 on the AP exam so I got credit for the class. Man, it was my favorite class.I took it my junior year of high school as well and didn't have to take the AP exam. It was co-taught by a prof from CSU, so I got full credit for it. My grades didn't transfer over (thank God), but I got the credits and didn't have to take any math classes my senior year of high school. To the guys doubting the EE - stick with it man. There's a lot of cool stuff you can do after college with an EE or ECE degree. I work in medical devices and have friends that work for Hard Drive companies, advanced communications (some really cool military/emergency sh!t), Aerospace, etc. It really opens a ton of doors... You can pretty much do whatever you want./motivational thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Krishna Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 i am in EE and doubting it. I dunno what i will end up doing. I see a lotta engineers doing jobs that have nothing to with their major like what i am doing rite now ( intern at comcast ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultron Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 I must be weird....I aced Calc...thought it was easy and actually fun, same with Finite Math (all word problems/matrices). Yet I struggled with Advanced Algebra.....*shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
