    A not so genius engineering student

    I never took any AP calc classes... Only AP Physics, AP US History, IB English, IB Economics, IB Spanish, etc. I'm in my third year, EE... I wasn't particularly strong in Calc I, but came back and got As in Calc II and III. Otherwise, I've been doing good. You don't have to be a genius. You...

    Serious Uninterest in School Nowadays

    But do you think it would hurt it trying to get a job in the first place? I don't really think so, I don't think one course is going to matter since I will have two internships in the first place. Thanks for your help thus far.

    Calculate Standard Deviation & More: Keyboard Input Program without Arrays

    Not really. It will make your life easier to use arrays. It will help if there is a known number of samples, perhaps you can ask the user before you create the array and then once you know the value, create it with that many locations. Also, it's A TON easier to go through hundreds or even...

    Serious Uninterest in School Nowadays

    I really think this could be it, as well. I've been thinking about how I'm always taking classes relevant to my major and never anything different. It's always the same genre of classes. The last class I took that wasn't related to my major was in my sophomore year... now I will never...

    Serious Uninterest in School Nowadays

    That's my problem. I need to do what you're doing, but I can't. I would like to not do the HW in advance without fully grasping the material, but eventually all the work piles up from other classes and I am always afraid that I cannot devote enough time to the homework I want to do.

    Serious Uninterest in School Nowadays

    I've been overwhelmed with the amount of homework and projects that I need to complete. It's not necessarily hard, but it's just long and tedious. I spent literally all my time either working on the homeworks or projects. I rarely have time to actually sit and study the material. Usually what I...

    Improve Your Study Habits: Tips & Advice

    While BioCore's suggestion is helpful, I do think a year is a little to excessive. I'm on spring break now and it's just enough for me to cool down and not do anything school/study-related for a whole week. At most, you should consider a semester off... but be sure to do something worthwile...

    Choosing Between a C or W on a Transcript: What's Worse?

    1) Not true. A "W" in most schools is decided by the student. 2) As the OP said, he could've withdrawn from the class due to other reasons. It does not mean the student has an F in the class. While some students withdraw due to poor performance, there may be other issues at stake. I'm sure if...
