AI Thread Summary
An ionizing radiation course typically covers the principles of radiation physics, interactions of radiation with matter, and radiation detection methods. The course is considered challenging, often compared to heat transfer in difficulty. Students will likely engage with practical applications and theoretical concepts related to nuclear engineering. The program is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin's Nuclear Engineering Program, and the course description can be found through their official resources. Overall, students should prepare for a rigorous academic experience in this subject.

So I'm coming up on my senior year and I'm taking ionizing radiation next semester and I was wondering exactly what is taught in an ionizing radiation course. I've heard the class can be pretty difficult, almost as bad as heat transfer. Although heat transfer wasn't too bad for me, I made an A.

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
