Done with the Spring 2011 semester. What were your final grades?

<p>Semester isn’t over for us yet, but I am hoping for three A’s and a B!</p>

<p>Math: B
German 3: A
English 2: A
Beginning Yoga: A</p>

<p>That’s my hope. :-)</p>

<p>@sweetlacecharm</p>

<p>Why don’t you look at the post right below yours. That person is taking 22 units. Thanks.</p>

<p>@xViral: I went to bed most nights around 8:30-9:30. Alarm goes off at 5:30 every day, I get up and shower, make my wife lunch before she leaves for work at 7. Eat breakfast. Do homework from 8-10:30, drive to campus, math tutoring from 11-12. Class from 12-3 M/W/F, then study for my Statics challenge until 4 or 4:30. Class from 12-6 T/Th, and band rehearsal 7-9:30 T nights. </p>

<p>Time management skills, woo. Comes with getting old, I guess. There is not much else to do during the week when you live in a town of 3,500 people. It only got really impossible early in the semester while I was working on a bunch of applications too. The programming course was online and I already know quite a bit of programming… Probably spent 2 hours a week on that class, tops. It was super easy until the final project where I decided to write a program to perform Gauss-Jordon elimination on arbitrarily-sized real matrices, completely ran out of time, and ended up turning it in half-finished. But the teacher was a huge slacker, he gave me an 85 anyway.</p>

<p>@lipper: I started out part-time in Fall 09 and didn’t plan out my prereqs that well because I wasn’t totally decided on my major. So this past school year I had some catching up to do. Plus I was trying to satisfy the requirements at a bunch of different schools. I wish I had been able to spread the units out more and I hope I never do anything like that again. It makes it hard to really get deep into the material and feel like I mastered it.</p>

<p>Topics in Biology (4 units): A
American Indian Literature (3 units): A
Intermediate French II (4 units): not posted yet because the prof is lazy but I’m anticipating an A
Honors Introduction to Philosophy (3 units): A
Honors Contemporary Philosophy (3 units): A</p>

<p>This semester was really laid back since I only had two required classes (Biology for IGETC and French for my major). The other three were just for fun and were really enjoyable.</p>

<p>HUM 10A - Humanities seminar: A
MATH 10 - Statistics: A
PS 10 - Political Theory: B
CHEM 3 - Intro to Chemistry: B</p>

<p>This was definitely the toughest semester that I’ve had yet! The “B” that I received in PS 10 was well earned. I truly wish I could’ve gotten an “A,” but due to the class’ difficulty, I’m relieved I could earn a “B.” It was such a rewarding class, nonetheless.</p>

<p>I’m now happily on my way to CSUF. Hooray!</p>

<p>Calc 3: C
Linear Algebra: C
Art: A</p>

<p>@ lipper: the person who posted below me is soprano aka my sister, and her classes add up to only 19 units. Music Appreciation is 3 units, the two music classes are 2 units, Anthropology is 3 units, math is 5 units, and bio is 4 units. Together, they add up to 19 units total. The maximum unit anyone can take at my college is 19. If anyone wants to go beyond 19 units, they’d have to have a 3.0 GPA and petition to have a course overload. Soprano has never petitioned for a course overload. Just because someone has 6 or more classes listed does NOT mean it all adds up to 22 units. :expressionless: I could take 10 classes and have less than 14 units if all of those 10 classes were worth 1 or 2 credits. Once again, not every class is worth 4 or 5 units. </p>

<p>Again, you’re assuming that people are taking over 20 units of classes. I’ve read through every post on the 3rd page, and no one has stated that they’re taking 22 units.</p>

<p>I don’t know how many prereqs your philosophy major requires, but for people who are majoring in, for example, the sciences, they have to complete as much science and math courses before they transfer. My sister is majoring in Animal Science, and she still hasn’t completed the Organic Chemistry and Physics requirement part of the Animal Science major preparation. You may have gotten all of your prereqs out of the way, but not everyone has.</p>

<p>@sweetlacecharm I have no idea why you guys are arguing about this at all, lipper wasn’t addressing you personally to begin with… Also, on the second page underneath your post PsychBruin2012 posted that he completed 22 units with outstanding grades.</p>

<p>Physics: Thermo/ Optics/Light - A
Music - A
History - B or C
Statics - A</p>

<p>I was slacking off this semester and didn’t even bother to turn in papers in my history class.</p>

<p>Anacondrea which schools did you apply for?</p>

<p>@pinoiako916 I applied to Davis, Irvine, and San Diego. I’ll be attending UCSD. I see you’re in the same area as me =] Where are you leaving to?</p>

<p>UCLA! I’m so excited! You didn’t apply to UCLA or Berkeley?</p>

<p>@pinoiako916 I thought about UCLA, but when I visited the campus and the city last fall I absolutely hated it, so I didn’t bother applying. UCSD is actually more prestigious than most schools in the country including UCLA and UCB for my major (bioengineering) so my eye was definitely set there. Stoked to have gotten in =]</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone that still has finals this week.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Apparently she forgot that she posted on page 2 and that you were referring to the person who posted under her post on that page. -_-;</p>

<p>@ sweetlace: Go back and read the second page without skimming. He was referring to the person posting under you on the second page, and NOT the person posting under you on the third page. His post also said “some of you,” meaning he was not referring to everyone.</p>

<p>@sweetlacecharm</p>

<p>what happened there with statistics?</p>

<p>anacondrea- i didnt know that ucsd has a better bioengineering program than UCLA or Berkeley. </p>

<p>Where is the rankings for bioengineering programs?</p>

<p>Semester has not ended yet, but it’s about 1.5 weeks to final exams, and so far my anticipated grade in courses:</p>

<p>Math - Discrete Mathematics (4 units) - dropped …Phew!!! Berkeley forgave me this one</p>

<p>Computer Science (4 units) - (Advanced programming in C++) - A or B (more likely B I think, unless I really rev it up on the final stretch - Final carries a subtantial amount of weight)</p>

<p>General Chemistry I (5 units) - A</p>

<p>**although it looks like a “light load” it really isn’t!! - This semester I am working 45-50 hrs/week which literally KILLS me…alnighters galore :)</p>

<p>I think it’s pretty neat =]</p>

<p>whats the difference between bioengineering and biomedical engineering?</p>
