Why are you in math 90 if it's so stupid easy?

LOL, good catch. I thought they only made kids that failed those sections of the entrances or failed previous math classes take that.

Why are you in math 90 if it's so stupid easy?

because i suck at math.
tested into math 90.
my teacher has used the past two weeks explaining how PEMDAS should be GEMA and i get it by now..... he just moves along very slowly, and makes huge deals out of nothing lol. i just try to sleep in class and then read the chapter we covered because it makes more sense.

anyone ever seen glee?
you know the gay kid?
my teacher is basically that kid, all grown up, short, with a beard, and teaches math over analytically.

Honestly, I WISH my math teachers moved slowly and made huge deals out of everything..
Get a habit of being punctual in this class while it's easy to prepare you for the next..
If you tested into a prerequisite math 90, The hurt is coming.

LOL, good catch. I thought they only made kids that failed those sections of the entrances or failed previous math classes take that.

Yeah, prerequisites. They don't count for anything lol.

Not having a passion for something makes it difficult, no matter how simple the task actually is. Math is a game of being clever, and of good enough simple tools in your head that you can apply them in some way to solve a larger set of challenges.

If you aren't clever or can't find a way to become interested, you are going to really hate life/fail the classes. If anything IT related, engineering related, or science related falls on your long term plan, be prepared to get the coffee if you don't have the math skills somewhere. Or, get excited about the modeling and statistical control processes involved in both designing and manufacturing an engine and bank on those skills carrying over into something that can fund many e30s.

and teaches math over analytically.

a mathematician is being over analytical?

HERP A DERP.



if you tested into remedial math, dont be aggravated by it. learn from it. because you obviously didnt learn from the previous 12 years....

and he's going really slow because the basics in math are incredibly important and if his students want to pass the next math, they'll have to understand them very well. he sounds like a decent professor.

the most hated professors, for me, were the ones that tried to cover 2 chapters in a class and talked about 800 words per minute.

My protip for being good at maths: find a hot Chinese girl to tutor you. Seriously, if it wasn't for the little 100lb girl with a c-cup that was a savant at that shit I would have struggled with calc and stats.

I guess technically she doesn't have to be hot but it makes the late nights in the library a little more enjoyable and then you can also bring her to parties and nail her.

I fought hard for my PHD in medicine working on cars and on the side pulling out parts at the junk yards making them look nice and selling them since 18yrs old just to pay for school and trust me its all worth it at the end :D I park next to expensive cars at work and its sooo cool when people see me rolling in my cool old beater and the thought in my mined that I can afford any of those cars just keep your goals in your mind when ever you feel like saying "fuck this shit"

I know how you feel... I took calc in high school. But at orientation for college they gave us a test that would determine what math we take WITH NO WARNING. 200 questions, 90 minutes, no calculator. Middle of summer. Needless to say I got fucked. Now I am retaking calculus.

Lol they had that here but I told them to fuck themselves and that I passed the AP Calc exam.

I love this thread. Makes me so happy I'm finally done.
I graduated with a degree in computer science a month ago. Fuck yeah.

There isnt much meat or drama to a story, just a girl from college. But seriously, find someone smarter than yourself and latch onto them like a barnacle. Working in a group makes shit a lot easier.

I don't need anymore math or science classes win! Taking filler courses only this semester. Art 118 American Art History SHIT IS BORING AS FUCK. and a late start basketball PE class LMFAO.

Summer English class and finally get to transfer out of this shithole.

Currently reading my 4th chapter of psych this week. It is very interesting for a pre-req, but its soo time consuming. I typically blow through exams only using lecture notes, but this prof has put a ridiculous amount of emphasis on the text and hyped up the test a lot. So i guess id rather be over prepared than under, and ill use this as a baseline for the next exam.

What really pisses me off though is that i spent 2 years at a very good school and a ton of my classes there didn't transfer over... I spent 2 years as a comm major taking 200 and 300 level communications courses, im currently taking com 130, talk about a fucking joke.
