<p>Hey there (prospective) Duke engineers. Could anyone please explain the difference between EGR 53L, EGR 53L9 and EGR 53R? Can I take any of those three to fulfill my first-year EGR 53 requisite at Pratt or does it have to be a specific one (EGR 53L)?</p>
<p>you need all three to pass. One is the lecture (53L), one is the lab portion 53L9, and the last is the recitation (discussion and such) (53R).</p>
<p>Huh, so I actually have to “bookbag” all 3 classes? Do they have separate grades or will only have a final grade for “EGR 53”, which takes into account all 3 EGR 53 classes?</p>
<p>You get just one grade, for EGR53L. R, L9, and L are all components of the same class. Yes, you need to bookbag all three classes. I’m sure in about a month of so the freshmen will be getting some emails from the deans reminding you of that. </p>
<p>This kind of notation applies to all other classes at Duke too.</p>
<p>This information is in the blue book on page 7 of the registration tab. Also on page 8 of the same section.</p>
<p>@niloy: some people just post without reading, it happens a lot.</p>
<p>To my defense I received the wrong Blue Book. I got the Trinity Version instead of the Pratt version. This isn´t very relevant, but I also received it extremely late and only because I emailed them to let them know I had not yet received it so they sent me another one (the wrong one though).</p>
<p>don’t worry, if it’s critical and you did it wrong, you’ll definitely know and you’ll probably be contacted by the deans at some point. </p>
<p>On the other hand, the blue book isn’t that life-changing, I didn’t even get one and scraped by just fine so don’t fret.</p>
<p>fyi, u can get a pdf version of the pratt bluebook. scroll to the bottom of this link: </p>

<p>Is it just me or does EGR 53R not have times (or class rooms in some cases)?</p>
<p>Dr.G, the course instructor likes to use the class website more than the school systems. I think he’s currently putting together the course schedules and assignments including the times and rooms.</p>
<p>You can check it out here: [EGR</a> 53L](<a href=“http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/EGR53F09/]EGR”>http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/EGR53F09/)</p>
<p>Some info have already been posted, more will probably be up soon.</p>
<p>LOL. I just got an email right after I posted it. Basically signup for any 53R…times will be determined later don’t worry about scheduling it, basically office hours. </p>
<p>Thanks for the link, though.</p>
