Not when I took it. Also, Calc 3 can be either east or hard depending on where the boundary between Calc 2 and Calc 3 is drawn.MidgetDwarf said:ODE is one of the easier math course
you are a bit older than the average poster here who is not staff. so standards where much higher back in your day. I believe you also went to top college. This is not the typical experience for the majority of college students. US intro ode course use something along the lines of Zill, Boyce, or any other run of the mill ode book. Sometimes students get lucky and use Simmons or a similar level book.Vanadium 50 said:Not when I took it.

I sadly suspect the answer is university dependent and even faculty dependent.,

Managing your time effectively is crucial when taking multiple classes. One strategy is to create a schedule and stick to it. Set aside specific blocks of time for each class and make sure to prioritize your tasks. Additionally, make use of any free time you have, such as breaks between classes, to work on assignments or review material. It may also be helpful to communicate with your teachers and let them know about your schedule so they can provide support and understanding.
Staying organized is key when taking multiple classes. Utilize a planner or calendar to keep track of assignments and due dates for each class. Write down all tasks and deadlines and make sure to check them off as you complete them. You can also color-code your classes to easily distinguish between them. Additionally, try to stay ahead of your assignments and don't wait until the last minute to complete them.
Some effective study strategies for balancing multiple classes include creating a study schedule, breaking down material into smaller chunks, and using active learning techniques such as practice problems and flashcards. It may also be helpful to study with a group or seek help from a tutor if needed. Remember to also take breaks and prioritize self-care to avoid burnout.
To ensure you are understanding and retaining the material in all of your classes, it is important to actively engage with the material. This can include taking thorough notes, asking questions in class, and participating in class discussions. It may also be helpful to review material regularly and seek help from your teachers or peers if needed. Additionally, finding ways to connect the material to real-life examples can aid in understanding and retention.
If you are feeling overwhelmed with your workload, it is important to reach out for help. Talk to your teachers, parents, or a school counselor about your concerns. They may be able to provide support and offer strategies for managing your workload. It is also important to prioritize self-care and take breaks when needed. Remember to communicate with your teachers if you are struggling and ask for extensions or extra help if necessary.
