Fall 2009 Class Reviews

<p>Oh yes please more recs on Mirco and Macro teachers. I must take them both this year at UT and have no idea who to take. I just know I’m very bad with trick questions and I’d rather have someone whose tests are exactly over what he goes over in class.</p>

<p>BTW on MYEDU Bronars has the most A’s.</p>

<p>Can anyone give reviews on the entry level science classes like BIO and CHEM and on CAL 408K?</p>

<p>^ Avoid Calculus at UT unless you are an economics/engineering/geoscience major. Otherwise take it at a community college.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Econ professors grade on a curve and it’s standard with everyone so that means only 15% make As, 20% Bs, etc</p>

<p>What if calculus can’t be avoided? Do you have any suggestions.?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why do you say unless you are a geoscience major? Are you assuming those students are better at math or do they get easier teachers or something?</p>

<p>^ For geoscience, iirc, it is important they take Calculus at UT because they well also be taking other Calculus-based classes such as physics and whatnot. Nothing to do with me thinking they are better at Calculus, its required because it will come up later in their coursework.</p>

<p>[QOUTE]What if calculus can’t be avoided? Do you have any suggestions.?

<p>If it can’t be avoided try and find a professor who can teach well and take advantage of the tutoring at Jester. Also, try to take an easier course load so you can focus on Calculus.</p>

<p>Try YouTube videos and check out Paul’s Online Math Notes. Good Luck ;)</p>

<p>I am stuck taking Calculus II this fall. Thanks for the tips, I plan on only taking 4 classes so I can better focus on it.</p>

<p>LonghornDan, for M 408L D. Radin class tends to make the better grades and I’ve heard she gives good notes (although she has an attitude problem).</p>

<p>May I add that by joining the UTranstion organization you can get free tutoring hours at Jester so check it out at the Student Services Building (SSB).</p>

<p>I actually think I am in the KLM series, but thanks for the tips.</p>

<p>I am a geoscience major, but I was planning on taking all my calc AND physics classes at HCC over this summer, next summer, and maybe my sophomore summer if I need to.</p>

<p>Is there a problem with doing that or could I just take calc at HCC and then take physics at UT?</p>

<p>Which physics course? Engineering Physics (PHY 303K, PHY 303L) or Regular Physics? I suggest taking both Calc and Physics here… It’s not too bad .</p>

<p>I have to take PHY 303L and 303K (it also says 301/101L and 316/116L can be taken instead, which track do you recommend?)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well I had heard about 59% fail rates and hard professors etc. so I already signed up for M408K and M408L at my local CC this summer. Do you think taking them there will screw me for college physics or chemistry classes?</p>

<p>i think you should be fine, just because you’re taking it at a CC does not mean that it’s any easier or harder; the teachers might be less stressed and generally better, but you should be fine for future chem and math classes</p>
