I've had classes where the final was 100% of the grade.
One had a 30 question final. We had 24 hours, and could do any 24 questions. We could only work on the final in the exam room, but could leave and return at any time for that 24 hours.
6 questions were traps and would take multiple hours to complete. The rest were expected to take slightly under an hour.
>>25028506
couldnt you read a question, leave, google it, answer, repeat?

>>25028540
This was pretty heavy math; Google was of little help. It was constructing proofs linking different conjectures. The problems built on each other as well, so you would have to use the answers from some of them to help you solve other problems.
The meta-problem was figuring out the order in which you needed to attack them .
>expecting combination of multiple choice and short answer questions like last semester.
>100% long answer questions with no reference material.

Apparently you had to apply for the second semester too and I didn't know that.
It wasn't like this at my old school.
>final worth 20%
>must get an 80 on the final to pass the course regardless of your other exam and homework grades (i.e. you can make A's on all lecture exams and homework, but if you get a 79 on the final, you fail)

>>25028570
I am not (yet) at uni and even I know that their subject matter isn't easily googled high-school tier, you tardlet. Keep in mind that these people in just a few months are expected to autonomously market and apply their knowledge/abilities. Their finals are the quite literally the final proof that they are capable for that,
>midterm 93%

I hate this shit. what's the point then?
>>25028506
Did anyone just stay until they were finished?
>>25028393
I know that feel... and it's a first year subject...... Not only that, the exam is made up of three parts that you need to get 50% on each to pass.
>>25028694
how many points are all those things worth?
or what percentage of your grade are they worth?
>>25028675
Organize a meeting with student support and ask for help. Make sure to explain you're new to the place. Find their email on your schools webpage and email them ASAP. Good luck.
>>25028729
This is the weighting family
How fucked am I, be brutally honest
>>25028701
It's a ridiculous policy.
However, I think they are just trying to get us ready to pass the board exams.
But still, I hate it.
Every exam was comprehensive. So, each exam covered 20-30 chapters. We had 4 exams; one exam per day for 4 days. We basically had the night before to study for each exam.
Sounds great OP, Id want classes that were 0% homework 100% final exam. That should really be the only thing that fucking matters.
>>25028729
93% on the midterm earns you 23.25 points
a 60% on everything but the final and midterm gives you 24 points
that combined is 47.25
To pass with a D you need 36.5% on the final
For a C you need 65%
a B would require 93.6%
an A is not possible

>>25028836
How does this shit work
I have to write a profiler using it, but I can't understand the structure of the tree so where to put things into the tree
For my degree
Assignments+Homework = 100% of grade
>>25028744
Yeah I'll ask them but there's a big risk that they can't do anything thing.
All applications in my country are done at the same government website and they're pretty strict.
>>25028858
yea well we cant all be government employees
>>25028876
It's for construction management
Assignments are the most relatable thing to what you would be doing for a job.
>>25028857
wew lad that looks fun
i'd say walk the tree looking for function definition syntax nodes
then insert function call syntax nodes as their first children to call into your profiler methods
i don't know the specifics of your setup so i can't really help you much beyond that
>final: 15%
>have a 97 in the class

>>25028892

also isn't construction management community college curriculum? These threads are for real college students, get out dumbo
>>25028907
You'll still get a B/B- m8
>>25028895
>walk the tree looking for function definition syntax nodes
This is my main issue, how do I do this?
Do I check Tag for "function" or something?
>>25028918
It's my senior year and I'm not going for a masters. GPA is completely meaningless.
>>25028910
I go to University of Melbourne one of the best in the world and one of the best for a construction management degree.
>construction management community college curriculum
Are you sure you are not in community college? Do you even know what construction management is?
Look at any building around you.
Who the fuck do you think managed the construction of that?
See that large building? You think some tradesman built that? Or someone with an education getting paid 6 figures?
>>25028929
I mean you could've gotten an A with a 50% on the final. And since you got such a high class grade with so little motivation im just trying to figure why not just take the damn thing
>>25028957
Because there's no point to taking it. I still get my degree either way and employers don't care about your GPA.
>>25028925
nigga i don't fuckin know, it's your assignment
if i had to guess i'd say yeah, something like that
have you tried running their AST generator and just printing everything it outputs?
>>25028943
the only thing you'll be managing the construction of is your cuckshed after i steal your bitch with my 300k a year starting job with a degree in math
>>25028393
that's the best layout though, means you can balls up the homework and still save your skin.
continuous assessment requires continuous success, which is much harder than giving a single period your all.
>>25028778
It's the worst method of examination. High school level it's fine, but at uni you're not engaging with the material in a genuine way, you're just regurgitating answers on to a page. Essaya and projects allow you to actually engage with what you've learned and go beyond the slides and seminar work.
>>25029073

i'm studying abroad and in europe they typically only grade the final exam and don't give homework

I hope to god people still aren't falling for this.
>>25029043
For me it works best if I do it during the whole course. Partly because it's more difficult for me to sit all day for a few days , partly because every studied hour is worth more if you study throughout the course and read in connection to the lectures but mostly because sitting all day for a few days is almost never enough for any of my courses. There's just too much shit you need to know.

Knew it. Fellow Math major here, only in Math do you get these kinds of problems and exams. Only in Math do you get problems that the internet is no help with
>>25029103
In my European country you usually have one exam and one or a few assignments or projects.
In the assignments you can just pass or fail and to pass the course you have to pass both the exam and assignments and if you pass it's only the exam that decides which passing grade you get.
I have my last final later today and then I'll have my MBA. I should be studying, but ehh. I have a 99% average on the other tests in the class.
>>25029279
coming from the american system i have to say i really don't like it
although i'm sure the reverse would be just as bad if not worse
my home college typically assigns something like 3 or 4 hours of homework a day in total
homework + assignments + projects is usually about 30% of your grade
finals are four hours long and usually make up 70% of your grade or so
our classes are also only an hour or two long, but we have them three or four days a week
as opposed to here where they're three hours once or twice a week

>>25029197
It's a program which divides into business, economics or finance but you don't choose until in the second year.
Right now i have macroeconomics but i've fallen behind a bit since i had to retake the exam in management which i failed earlier this fall and had to spend all my time on that.
I really disliked that course.
I got my results for the first statistics course today and i finally got the highest possible grade, i haven't had that before.

What the fuck man
Also do you think a 3.2 GPA prevent me transferring to a big 10 school?
>>25028393
What the fuck is wrong with that? Homework is an easy fucking grade; just do it. I fucking hate classes that are 100% exam grades and nothing else. What if I have a fluke one day and I studied the wrong material? Or if one of the tests is written poorly and doesn't reflect what we learned in class? Having a class that is nothing but exam grades is fucking bollocks

I read through a lot of these university problems threads and one thing that stands out to be is that many of you simply don't belong there. You simply don't have the drive, the resourcefulness, or the intelligence for post secondary education.
>>25028393
>Exam__s__
>Homework getting rated
>Not just having a single exam per class at the end of the semester
Is this some third world meme?
I'd actually be grateful if more weight was given to final exams rather than shitty mundane things like homeworks and tests. That way it'll just be like my old high school days when I just slacked off all day and only had to do well on the actual A Levels to get a good grade.
Here, since the homework, midterm grades and exams get similar weightings, you're pretty much forced to be on edge for the whole semester. I've seen people get sick and essentially flunk the semester because it's impossible to catch up once you trip. I didn't expect Americans to make school so wagecucky.
>americans have to study their asses of every week, do multiple projects, expose themselves to SJW propaganda, and risk getting kicked out of university they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to if they fail 2 courses, just to get a useless degree and work at the local mcdonalds
Wtf, you guys have to be overreacting.
And apparently you also need to get a GPA above 3.0 as well.
Are universities in america that hard, or are the courses that easy?
>>25028393
I was a genius at a medium/low tier university, thought it was too easy for me as my GPA was 1.23, i had all the time in the world to play so i transferred to a Top tier university
Worst mistake ever ! so far i failed around 5 classes, delayed by a year, my classmates in previous college graduated already
"it is better to be a genius at a shit university than a pleb at top tier university"
>>25032068
Pretty sure they won't kick you out for failing 2 courses. They'll probably just ask you to switch major or something.
Top tier universities with really difficult classes don't like to lose the students they've picked and typically do lots to keep them. Low tier universities don't kick out bad students because they need funding.
>>25028393
I honestly don't know, I never do my homework so I almost always fail.
>>25029390
I HATE working in groups just for this reason. I literally get cucked into doing the project myself.
>>25032418
Which university that allow you to fail 2 course?
My uni make student drop out of their programs if they fail in 1 class or get under C in one of the core class. The only programs that don't do this are liberal studies
>applications due soon
>still haven't written essays for Columbia or Boston universitiy
>probably won't get into any of my top schools anyways

>>25029257
If you can't make it in community college, uni will tear you apart.
>>25029573
Fuck that, I have 100 credits, am riding till the wheels fall off on that stage.
>>25029656
It's not. In my experience it's better if you have quizzes and assignments, than exams being most of the course. You'll remember the information better as well.
I gave up, I don't care about anything anymore
I'll just apply for shit jobs with stupid tasks, might be alienation but at least I won't get eaten by anxiety because I can't remember 700 pages for exams

>50k starting
He hates his job every day but I think he's making around 65k now. Get a grip faggot.
Attended 1 lecture, did no homework, went to no workshops, only one evening of revising yesterday and still managed to knock my exam today out of the park.
>>25034396
Just change your major, minor, get certified. graduate with something.
Some of these anons pick majors for the wrong reasons and end up failing. You major in something because you were interested and had the exceptional abilities way before college.
>>25029264
You're forgetting engineering.
>>25034546
I would take the opposite position.
The things you can learn which you can't learn from the Internet are the most valuable things for you to learn.
After all, you are developing skills that few other people will have. For the simple things, you can always do a web search, but for the complex stuff, you have no way to learn it on your own.
>FINALS WORTH 50%, 65%, 70%
>DID TERRIBLE ON ALL OF THEM
>FAILED 3 COURSES IN SPAN OF 3 DAYS
JUST
>>25034597
But you need the diploma and certs to show your status to employers and HR. Once you get your education that can't be taken away.
Some subjects can't be self-studied all the time.
>>25034546
I suppose people who invented new tech just found all of the info and guides freely available on the internet.
The actions in the real world happen and exist before the information gets to the net, you deluded fuck.
The number of humans taking a graduate level mathematics course, and the number of people doing so that need to look up answers to solve problems is far too low for any content about the subject matter (that isn't a research paper) to be hosted on the web.
>final is 18% of the grade
>BUT if you are within 2% points of a different overall grade(e.g. A-, B) your overall grade will be adjusted in the direction of your final
If you end up with an 88 (including your final grade at 18%) and got an A- or A on the final, you get an A-. If you got a B+ on the final, you get a B+. If you get a B or lower on the final, you get a B. So your 88% grade barely matters. It just disqualifies you from an A and makes it hard to get lower than a B.

Robots and computers are programmed by people.
People including scientists who studied and went to school =)
Even philosophers and scribes weren't self taught, they schools of thought and practice of people shared knowledge and taught each.
Some trades as well can't be self-taught, you need be an apprentice or go to a guild.
how hard are american universities? in italy we only have exams that we can retry as many times as we want, no homeworks, no midterms etc but we have exams that take months to prepare and we would fucking riot if they kicked us out after failing them

Most liberal arts classes (not STEM or economics) have most of their grades determined by projects and papers, lots of reading, maybe a discussion component
Otherwise most classes have homework count as 10-20% of the grade (in the form of ~weekly problem sets), maybe 2-3 midterms that count as 15-25% of your grade each, and a final that counts from 15-50%.
If your average dips below 2.0 (a C grade, which is usually near the bottom of a class) you get on probation; if you are unable to raise your average above 2.0 for a few semesters you are usually kicked out.
The main difference between our countries is that our universities range from extremely selective to basically open admission. So there is a large difference in difficulty of material between schools
>>25034546
As I progress in programming it happens less and less that I can find an answer to a problem on the internet. I think it's common for advanced topics.
>>25029264
Applies to Comp Sci too. Sure you can look up code online but only small snippets that have little practical application. Often I may find something on how to add a specific type of function, which I have to rewrite anyway. You've a better chance just asking fellow students or tutors. The Maths guys I lived with just asked each other for help.
>>25035039
The difficulty depends on where you go. Public universities are the easiest, then private, then ivy league is the hardest.

Here at MIT, if you fail a few courses they'll just put you on suicide watch somehow or something and probably ask you to take a semester leave but will hardly ever kick you out.

As much as I'd like to believe I got here by muh hard work and muh intellect alone, the truth is one way or another I'm just a really lucky motherfucker. Same can be said for every other person in the Institute, even though they refuse to acknowledge it and as a result become massive intellectual snobs.
Its politically incorrect, but the reality is that even being gifted is a matter of luck. And beyond the luck you need to be born gifted, you need the luck go actually manage to be part of a certain 8% of a group of gifted people to get into MIT.
>>25041238
Different programs have different acceptance rates so I really have no idea. Just look it up on your own.
What you should probably think about is why you want to attend this place anyway. If you're only here because of the name and don't actually enjoy doing nothing but study 60 hours a week and more, you're going to have a pretty miserable time up to the point where it might not even be worth it anymore.
Also, if you're not particularly inherently smart, your colleagues will literally wipe the floor with you. It's quite common here to feel that your neighbor completely obsoletes you in an intellectual sense, and that depresses a lot of people who used to be the superstar of their high school or whatever.

I didnt the one time I studied with it.
i got a 4.0 this semester, i'm still fucking miserable though.
tfw you've been chatting up this qt 3.14 all semester and it seemed like maybe for once a girl might actually like me. she's transferring to another school next semester but it's only 10 minutes away and today was the last day of classes.
i was planning to ask for her number so we can stay in touch but i was going to wait until class got out and we were saying our goodbyes and shit because if i asked her before class and struck out it would have made it awkward to sit next to her for the next 90 minutes.
class ended, she got up and walked out quickly without even giving me a second look or saying goodbye. this is after spending like 10 minutes talking to each other before every fucking class of the semester and knowing that she's transferring to a completely different school and we might never see each other again. i fucking hate women. i'm going to go kill myself.
Got a C- in my science lab, which by the standards of my major means I have to retake it and get a C or Higher. Otherwise fine semester, Bs all around.

That sounds fucking awesome.
My Mechanics exam was 8 questions, and we could do any 6. The exam started at 5, and the professor strolled in around 5:30 and was like, "yeah, sorry about that. I'll be here all night. Take as much time as you need." All 8 questions were hard as fuck and some took multiple sheets of just trying out different methods to solve the problem. It was basically an exam measuring how little you were going to fail. I wasn't even a Physics major.
Honestly, that's my favorite kind of exam. Anyone who likes easy exams is wasting their time and money. Seriously, I knew people who got jobs around universities, bought housing, and lived around and still got to party all the time. People who spend thousands of dollars to go party are beyond fucking retarded.

I sometimes wish people like myself were aborted at birth. It would benefit society greatly. More money would go towards the non-disabled ,etc for their courses.
Plus by having these accommodations, it's not like I can have this when I get a job after college.
To any robots or normies. When gene screening gets better and if you're kid will be a future tard. Abort it right away and save yourself and society some money.

I'm a theatre major and luckily I didn't need a portfolio (I do design, not acting).
For a couple places I know that require portfolios, you usually are placed in like a preliminary art major so you can take classes to build your portfolio and then the department reviews your portfolio after your first year to fully accept you into the program.
Fucking sucks, m8. I hope you can find a way to get in.
>Exam 1 25%

Fuck you physical chemistry. The final exam was brutal. The only thing we are graded on are our answers, no chance for partial credit or anything. The average for the final was a 62 and I somehow pulled an 80. Since the average for the class was a C/C- he didn't curve anything so I'm glad I made a B.

Actually that sounds pretty fucking fantastic, but I can't seem to find any colleges like that in my state. It usually says fill out the application with a portfolio so I'm trying to figure out what level they expect you to be. I'm not a complete novice, but I thought you went in to art school to develop your skills not already be at an expert level.

That's pretty fucked up actually... Are you applying to legit art schools or are you just applying to art programs at the major university's in your state?
Because if you are applying to legit art schools that is probably your problem. They want to make sure you are serious about it and have some form of talent before accepting you.
Also, are you a senior in high school applying to colleges or are you trying to escape NEET-dom?

I'm a sophomore college student in STEM. I am researching art schools, but I've only found one that hasn't asked for a portfolio and another that offers Fine Arts but it's an AS and I want to enter for a BFA.
So basically I'm going to transfer, although I'd prefer to leave all of the STEM behind. I don't think I've seen any "major universities" since I'm looking strictly at ones in my city, and the most major school in NYC is Julliard I think, but that's performing arts.
I mean when you're looking at careers to pursue nobody actually tells you here are all these top arts, design or creative schools you could go to, so I can't name any top art schools, just going on whatever has the highest acceptance rate and lowest tuition.
It's fucking difficult making the transition from pure STEM to art. Where do you even start with this shit.

>>25045722
My strategy for these questions are usually:
If A is 100% true on first glance it is false, choose B and C.
If A and C are true but there is no option for A and C together, whatever correlates with B is the answer.
If A, B, and C all sound false I gamble between the last two choices. I usually get them correct because it is usually All of The Above

Oh man, all these posts made me laugh.
Mostly because of the stupid images, andbecause iktf. ;-;.
> Taking Undergrad level Art History survey class
> Only 3 exams and each covers about 12 artifacts out of a list of around 30+ from several different eras in history, and you have to basically guess which 12 will be on the fuckng exam.
> Entire exam is short answer detailing the importance of various artifacts combined with two long form essay questions given before the exam date.
> Have to know everything down to dates because my professor hadn't ever taught a class before and needed to grasp at whatever vestiges of authority they could
> Begin skipping after getting a C on a quiz because I forgot the exact location the Sarson stones that make up stone henge were imported from and the exact date that it is believed to have begun construction...I remembered that it used post and lintel and what it's theorized to have been used for but that wasn't enough for them
> Failed class because I couldn't pass ANY of the exams despite doing well on 2/3 of the assigned papers
> Couldn't keep up with mandatory participation assignments because they required me to travel out of town to see lectures and I don't own a car.

What class, anon?
>>25045476
I'm not an art student, but I guarantee you they will need a portfolio, especially if you're looking at anything prestigious, let alone Julliard... Also, you mentioned careers, why would you go to art school for a career? I'm not trying to meme, I would like to go to an art school, but it's really just to develop your skills. You have to actually have some nice work to make a career out of it.

Like, what the hell could you even test? Its all just rocks.
Sometimes fun-Engineering can be hard in its own Way.

>get a 70%
>just pass with a B-
Honestly, fuck professors who think thats a good idea
For anyone who needs help finding motivation to write their papers, make sure to fap beforehand. Shit always helps me focus
My exam in edaphology is starting in two and a half hours.
>>25045476
I'm the anon you originally replied to.
I'm actually a chemistry and dramatic art double major. I fucking feel you on that so hard. I'm doing the same thing you're doing but going into lighting design. Unless you have started from day one knowing you want to go into an art, you pretty much have no guidance.
I'm fortunate enough to go to a major university where I can double major in both of these things and be pretty much the only lighting designer on campus (where theatre is pretty huge here) so I am constantly designing and being able to build up my portfolio.
You just gotta keep searching. If you find some BFA programs you like I would call them up and ask about what the expect from your portfolio. Then take a year building it up. Myself I'm trying to go for my MFA after I work a little bit after I graduate.
Does your current university not have an art major?
Got a 58 on my final
Which got me a 70 overall in the class.
I thought I even did really well on that final, what the fuck gives desu
Butt seriously, this makes me feel both sad and not sad
>Class participation: 20%
I show up and get As on the tests, whats it to you if I don't ask dumbass questions like everyone else
>>25049256
I just use career and ambition synonymously although I don't have any unrealistic expectation that after I get my degree in the arts that I'm going to get a stable job like I would if I did something else. I know the risks. I'm not trying to get into any prestigious art school either nor can I. I'll take anything legitimate that'll accept me.
I just want to focus solely on art, not for money nor for some successful career, but for myself while getting some guidance from those experienced and getting a degree for it. Also I don't want to sit around being a NEET, so college is my only answer. When I was younger I had great drive and ambition for my art, I still do, but I took a detour and wanted to learn more about computers and engineering for a while so I went somewhere for it. But now I'd like to return back to the arts. I am also a writer and a very good one, and plan on trying to get a minor or something for creative writing since that could land me a small job that isn't freelance.
>>25049421
Yeah, I would have loved to take the art high school route but you had to audition for those as well, and I just didn't do it which I regret.
I went to a technical and vocational school.
My uni unfortunately only has architecture and an odd version of some graphic arts, but that's not what I want to do.
But thanks for the help, I also considered taking a year off to practice rigorously to make a portfolio and apply somewhere. I really hope I can figure this all out, maybe get accepted on the first try once I come up with something that shows proper skill. I really hate having to drop out of one college and go through the process again to find another.

I'm a fucking idiot, I'm screwed
>>25034396
I'm not failing uni but I feel the same regarding "jobs with stupid tasks". I just want a low stress job that pays decently and even though I'm in my final year I still don't prefer a job related to my major.
>>25049690
I took a semester off to work on my portfolio, and I ended up getting into CalArts. If you're dead set on art school anon, it's not too late yet.
But please, please make sure you actually have some semblance of talent before you take a year off. I've seen some seriously deluded artists try and get crushed when they fail.

Halfway through now, I'm hoping to finish by five so I can get some fucking sleep before class

There's such an engineering stem circle jerk going on nowadays that literally every kind of problem I've been given has bee at least partially googleable. The field is bloated with
>muh six figyurr
cucks who don't know what the fuck they're doing
>>25034874
In real life, it would be a whiteboard.
>tfw I have a calculus 1 exam on Friday at 9 am and haven't even touched antiderivatives yet
>tfw I just got up at 1 A.M and ordered Dominoes
>tfw I've just been eating garlic fingers and bacon+pepperoni pizza with bbq sauce instead of pizza sauce and drank Sprite while watching Scandal and anime
Is one day enough to learn antiderivatives and review everything? I feel like I'm fucked for this exam worth 48% of my grade and I'm just barely passing with a 52%.
>>25050746
>tfw I'm one of those six figure cucks
>tfw my uni is full of these kids that say they want to be rich but are dropping out of engineering like flies because they can't handle the math
I mean, I know I'm doing it for the money, but at least I'm putting in the time to actually get good at this shit even if it's not my passion you know?
>>25050812
If you make it past second year, you're in the clear. If not, you'll probably crash and burn. Trust me. Been there, done that.
Potentially making good money in the distant future isn't enough motivation to finish a degree for most people. You gotta do what you love.
>older guy in my program
>always struggled with the material
>didn't see him during the final couple of weeks or any of the exams
I hope he's doing alright
>3 test, 20% each
>final is comprehensive and worth 40%
>Homework worth 4 points on the final exam out of 150
Why is this allowed?
>>25050878
>If you make it past second year, you're in the clear.
Why do you say this senpai? Is second year where they lay the hardest courses on you or something?
>If not, you'll probably crash and burn. Trust me. Been there, done that.
Please share your story.

>Is second year where they lay the hardest courses on you or something?
That's what I've heard from friends. I've only done 1st year engineering.
>Please share your story.
Did AP calc in highschool, was always good at math and physics, so I thought I'd go into engineering for le 6 figures. Hated it, couldn't motivate myself at all.
Now in 3rd year Comp Sci and loving it, making mostly As and A+s. Actually care about the quality of my code and want to impress my peers and professors.
Liking what you do makes all the difference
I FUCKED UP
I DIDN'T HAND IN MY TAKE HOME FINAL ON TIME
I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE ON FRIDAY BUT IT WAS DUE ON MONDAY
I'M GETTING AN F
FUCK I HAVE TO REPEAT THE COURSE FUCK
The rest of my courses this semester were A's and B's so I'm not completely fucked right? I'm second year so this doesn't ruin everything right? I'm shitting myself right now.
>>25051080
Explain the situation to them. Lie if you have to. Say your father was sick in the hospital or something and she passed away.
>>25051080
That stinks bro
One time I failed a course, so I took it again online in the summer and got a DNC (did not complete)
>>25028506

kek. use this lie 10/10

Depend on your major. If you're not STEM you are fine.Most STEM programs also don't care about your general education gpa anyway
>>25051288
I'm in my first semester of first year Engineering and failed two out of five of my courses
I didn't study at all (gen chem, programming)
how fucked am I senor?
>>25051288
It's not STEM but it's required for my major.
>>25050984
This is pretty much me except I went into pure math instead of CS. But yeah did mech. engineering for a year and hated it to death, couldn't motivate myself to do any of the coursework because I gave zero shits about it.
>>25030608
>tfw CC had 0 book homework for math and physics (still had mymathlab shit)
>tfw in uni for some of the classes 50% of your grade is homework and lab
>in CC, physics teacher sit there and read your labs right there if you wanted, was invested in your education
>Applied Electromagnetics teacher reads his own book (as in the one he wrote) in class, labs are trash, and for more than a month after classes started there was no contact information for the TAs
I take that final tomorrow (well today). I want to cry and scream and kill everyone.

>>25050369
Yes like Adolf. I don't want to be like Adolf.
I'm not sure what you mean by "talent" unless you're trying to say if I can't even draw landscape correctly that means its not for me.
What does not having a semblance of talent look like? I know I'm quite good at doing eye sketching and getting it near accurate.
I just failed my Biology exam, luckily it's only 10% of the course.
