thanks guys I really appreciate the input. I've been running blind for a while now.

I've beat this into the ground a lot, but one more go couldn't hurt. I want to know how all of you with the 3.5 -4.0 gpa's do it? How do you do well in college classes? What I'm specifically asking is: How do you study the material? How do you study for exams? How do you know what's going to be...

Fair Deuce. I understand. I was hoping to get the input of people who are in the field, or who know a great deal about it. A general knowledge is what I wanted.

Last shot at the college dream. I am considering changing my major to Radiation Health Physics. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this major such as difficulty level (so I can gauge how much of a time commitment I will need to put in, yeah I know kind of novice, but regardless I...

my question is, does this make me less of an Engineer not being able to handle 15+ credits a term?

I wouldn't be. If there has been anything my whole college experience has taught me, is to 1) do research about your chosen major, not just salaries, and colleges, but also, the course work; what you can expect. 2) don't be afraid to take it easy your first term. It's important that you identify...

I guess I kind of like it. I've never really been exposed to too much honestly. What I can say is Science is concrete, you are either right or wrong, and it doesn't rely on the whim of some other person, say for instance English. That's what I like about the Sciences. I'm not sure if I like this...

Oregon State University

groups? It tried groups. They work to an extent, but if your behind, they do tend to leave you behind.

That does ring true. I have to take the whole CBEE series next year though, they don't offer it except in the fall. :( Next term I'm going to take Math 306 (matrix and power series), Statics and Dynamics ENGR 211, and some other class I don't know(maybe retake physics?). If I do decide to go...

Physics 212 is just a random grab bag of physics related stuff. such as rotational kinematics, waves, beats, lenses. stuff like that. doesn't exactly build on each other. CBEE 211 is chemical engineering 211. you go over stuff like volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, single pass, and multiple...

I took Physics 212 (F) Vector Calculus (C-) Organic Chemistry (B) and CBEE 211 (D) I was retaking vector calculus, and organic chemistry.

I'm sorry If I'm being such a bother. It's just that this is my life. Sorry.

That is sound. I just don't know/ hope I can get my GPA at 2.7 ish. That's where I start to crumble. It's doing well on tests that gets me. If I got reasonably good grades, I wouldn't be having 70% of the problems I'm having now. This is why I'm doubting myself. I question whether or not I can...

Good suggestions by everyone by the way. I have thought long and hard about this post, and my situation. I am about to go back to my college tomorrow to talk to my academic advisor, a councilor, and various other people about my situation. I have noticed that you are also an academic advisor...
