school kicking my ass

[cain]

intermediate micro and macro at cornell means advanced micro and macro. they dont call it advanced because they reserved that term for graduate school classes. and yes, my ass is so gonna be owned, even worse than last year.

What is with you people? Vector Calc was so easy -- easiest math class I've taken here.

I'm a senior, so I'm slacking some and doing my research on dialogue systems. Here's my schedule:

1. Graduate course on Dialogue Systems.
2. Algorithms
3. Robotic Manipulation
4. Intro to Gender Studies (best humanities class, ever)
5. Technology in American Society (boring)
6. Independent study on Dialogue Systems.

 

History 266 - American Foreign Wars as Social and Cultural Experiences: AWESOME class, funky teacher.
AOSS 105 - Our Changing Atmosphere: Darn the natural sciences requirement. Boooooooring.
PoliSci 317 - Courts, Politics and Society: My prof is a visiting professor who has been practicing law for 35 years.
Dutch 231 - Second Year Dutch: w00t!

Life as a PoliSci major is nice. Plus, I LOVE the stuff I'm learning about!

well well well, no one is a genius like you ajayjuneja. it would really help if my professor can actually fvcking teach. ever since i got to cornell, i had to teach myself everything for every math class i have taken. wtf

I go to CMU, which is just as hard as cornell, and FYI -- I failed Calc 2 in the first semester I was here when I was a freshman. Then I learned to teach myself, cause our math dept. sucks ass.

so no, I am not necessarily smarter than you. Just more resiliant. Don't let school get you down.

Edit: -- and I got an A in vector calc the semester after.

sh1t, CMU? i know someone there. My man man Frankie. and yes, paying 40k a year so i can learn from a lousy fvcking text book sucks

All part of your plan to start producing wine using cows. Brilliant

Senior Year:

Data Communications
Network Security
Matrix Math
College Accounting
and some Easy Computer Class

Took most of my hard classes during my frist 3 years.

 

[wyvrn]

Java class -easy so far
database class - medium so far
web design class -easy so far
operations management- hard so far
business data comm - easy so far

It's a semi-hard semester just because of all the work involved. My only true hard class, operations management, is just hard for me because it is not intuitive. I seem to get the answers exactly backward. If I could reverse my brain process, I would do great in that class

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

I got:

Circuit Theory
Calc 3
Advance Engineering Math
Digital Systems
Roman History

Btw, I'm in my 2nd year of Comp/Elec engineering.

 

[ethebubbeth]

I think i might have bit off more than i can chew....

Electrical/Computer Engineering 175 - intro to C programming for engineers
English 103H - honors freshman english
Engineering 102 - intro to engineering
Math 129 - Calculus II
Traditions and Cultures 103 - Humanities: rennaissance to the present
Music 200E - Wind Ensemble
Music 201 - Coached Brass Quintet
Music Individual 182T - Trumpet Master Class

I'm getting 19 hours of credit but am going to class 28 hours a week >_<

 

[phreakah]

Business Law
Finite Math (so fvcking easy)
US History Past and Present
Fundamentals of Chinese

hey, welcome to cornell
i took 313, 314 bout 3-4 years ago, thought they were ok. esp the arts students who didn't even understand the concept behind a differential, much less a partial differential theorem. hehe.
so if you're a math major (assuming you are, cos of 222 and stats class) then there's a large percentage of the class who's already catching up to you. esp because intermediate econs focusses a lot on the use of mathematics.

lemme see if i remember, macro taught us the IS/LM/BP curves right? and micro kept talking about oligopolies. hehe.

saw another guy with the dairy and wine class, assuming he's from ag school too.

oh well, have fun while you're in school.

School started 2 weeks ago, and it's already kicking my ass.

ECON 313- Intermediate Micro, hardest of all econ courses for undergrads. Taught by a hardcore economist named Park. ASSKICKING
ECON 314- Intermediate Macro, got fvcked over by the Intro Macro teacher last year. ASSKICKING
MATH 222- vector calculus aka multivariable calculus, hard-ass math. ASSKICKINGx2
PHILOSOPHY 101- major boring ass sh1t, can't stay awake. will certainly deliver a good ASSKICKING
STAT class- pretty easy i suppose, but considering me, I will get a thorough ASSKICKING.

those are my class rundowns. what's yours?

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

just go into class drunk.

it will make everything easy.

 

[cain]

eh, i am actually an econ major thinking about doubling up on history. and the teachers now are a lot harder i think. Kichool Park is a math person, very hardcore.
