Hello, I am an aspiring PhD candidate for physics. I am very well into mathematics. My first passion was not physics. I started out as a biology major.
However, I didn’t do well in these courses. I took pre calculus for the first time in college. Aced it. Had so much fun in it and that’s where my passion for math just expanded from that all the way to even calculus 3 and now even harder physics classes.
I am absolutely disgusted by universities. I am not so sure if it’s only my university but I just recently found out that professors recycle old exams over and over again. Students pass them around and boom. Easy A. That’s the case in my college with these harder classes. They are so difficult that students find old exams to basically copy and paste from.
They work the problems out at home and then come exam day and get an easy A. My heart was broken. I didn’t think anybody could cheat their way through a engineering degree. As you know, physics majors and engineering majors will often be seen in the same classroom many times. Thoughts on this? Did this happen at your university too?
