    Are bully math teachers more common than in other academic subjects?

    I have had only one math teacher that feel into this criteria, and this was my pre-calculus/trigonometry teacher in tenth grade. In addition to these things she would call me out of the hallway if she saw me passing by her class, start an argument with me and if I said anything at all she would...

    Disillusioned: do I have what it takes to finish?

    Thank you so much homeomorphic. I believe you are correct that the same applies to physics. My Modern Physics professor was a super smart and really cool guy and he warned the entire class about the woes of grad school and how difficult it could be. He mentioned that one class was like being...

    Disillusioned: do I have what it takes to finish?

    :smile: Yes I do often feel that I have made then feel as if I am smart but I am not even smart enough to pass Astro II or QM with a good grade, so thanks for saying that Micromass, and thank you for your suggestions as well. Thanks a zillion Lavabug, you have no idea how much I appreciate...

    Disillusioned: do I have what it takes to finish?

    Thanks again Lavabug. This is why my professors recommended I drop the courses last semester, they felt that withdrawals along with an explanation of why I decided to withdraw would come across better than two "C's" and an impacted GPA. I had a bad semester before and have been able to recover...

    Disillusioned: do I have what it takes to finish?

    Thanks so much Lavabug. I know I should be proud but it is overshadowed by my failed attempts at school. Since the promotion my hours are at 37.5 to 40 per week. They are currently considering changing my functionality, but it will not impact my hours worked, so I think I should be able to...

    Disillusioned: do I have what it takes to finish?

    Hello everyone, This is something that has been on my mind a lot and I have not been open to discuss it in depth because of the emotional weight I have attached to this, but I feel it is better to get some external input from students and professionals. I am now a senior pursuing my...

    How to Deal with this Type of Situation (Confrontations)

    You received a lot of good responses here. The thing with situations like these is you never know how things will pan out. It is easy for others to tell you what you should have done but you know yourself -- and keeping yourself safe is not cowardly. I never think it wise to enter an argument...

    Where to find physics talks/lectures for hobbyists?

    Yes I would like to echo this. At my university senior seminar and an introductory class for physics majors are open to all who would like to attend...even the public. The introductory seminars are usually great for people who want to understand topics without getting too in depth with...
