Yup, my school runs on a three quarter system (there's no optional summer quarter for us). We also have an optional interterm during winter break. Our normal classes meet up three times a week for a little over an hour each, for six credits per class.
Looks like my school's credit system is pretty different from the norm- here the average class meets a total of about 3.5 hours a week and is counted as 6 credits. Which does seem kind of sketchy- I wish I could see what kinds of lectures/homework people from other schools are getting to figure...
That sounds pretty similar to my situation- how many math classes do you usually take per term?
Yes, last year I took the calculus sequence I, II, and III. If future math classes are similar in difficulty to calc, it seems like it would be tough to take more than one at a time and still do...
But I mean, how long and how often are your class sessions? Say for example, do your math classes meet up every other day for hour-long classes, etc.? I mostly just want to see if my school differs from other schools in terms of how long/often/hard the classes are so I can see if I should be...
I've been reading some threads on this site about how many math/physics courses an undergraduate should take in a term. Many posts I've read say that around 3 math/physics courses a term is reasonable for someone who wants to major in physics or math. But something seems amiss because at my...
Thanks, this struck a chord. What's funny is that I came to the exact same conclusion coming into college from high school (but unfortunately I forgot the "spirit" of this realization sometime mid-year).The school year has just finished, and after some reflecting I've realized that at some point...
Thank you for the reply; I'll definitely be seeing a guidance counselor tomorrow. I've calmed down a bit now so I'm not really so down on myself as I was when I wrote this thread. I agree completely with your advice about working in chunks too. Slow and steady seems to be the way to go.
SPOILER: This will be a somewhat depressing rant.
I like math (or, I THOUGHT I did), but have been feeling incredibly lazy and powerless recently. I'm currently a freshman undergrad, and I just failed Calc III. I've been barely scraping by recently, having gotten a 40 on the first midterm and a...
