<p>I am taking calc 2 after getting a 5 on the AB exam in the spring, but I have heard that it is extremely difficult. Is there anything I can do to prepare and do well in the course?</p>
<p>First it’s not so bad, don’t be worried. Go to class, read through the sections of your book and do the homework on your own and you’ll be more than fine. You should make sure you remember how to integrate and differentiate and if you’ve already bought the text you can flip through what’ll be covered; I think it’s ch’s 6-11 in rogawski</p>
<p>Haha, “I have heard that it is extremely difficult.” Language is such a powerful weapon, isn’t it?</p>
<p>No, the course is not difficult if you stay tuned. Make sure you do your homework, and ask any questions that you have. Some TA’s are good while others are useless, so don’t shy away from contacting your professors directly.</p>
<p>It’s very easy to fall behind in this course, and if you do, the course will be hellish.</p>
<p>Haha thank you for the help!</p>
<p>It depends on the professor, really. My professor was the course coordinator and did a good job in scaring people about their “failing” grades. Thus I thought it was really hard, but he ended up giving a humongous curve to the class. Most importantly, do the homework problems. I also found that rewriting my lecture notes helped.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice, drexeler! Who was your professor? Are there any that you recommend trying to get or avoid?</p>
