<p>yeah! i should have made a "diary of a freshman" thing</p>
<p>I NOMINATE JEYDAY</p>
<p>quick question you guys,</p>
<p>do you think it's okay or doable to have two finals on the same day (with only 30 minutes in between)? :(</p>
<p>...and i thought i had it all good.</p>
<p>and thanks for the nominations and such guys! :D you guys rockkk
i'm honored ;)</p>
<p>if they're two intense classes, or early morning, or you know you won't be studying until a day or two before, don't do it.</p>
<p>i had two finals the same day my first quarter but they weren't back to back. i was also sick with some sort of stomach bug. not a fun day.</p>
<p>if you don't have to do that your first quarter, don't.</p>
<p>OR i can take one of those two classes (that have finals on the same day) at a different lecture, but then one class is 10 minutes after the other during the quarter for lecture. this will solve the same-day final problem though.</p>
<p>LOL i hope scheduling classes isn't always this hard!</p>
<p>liyana, the two classes are art&arch and math3a. and they ARE early in the morning, 8-11 and 11:30 to 2:30.</p>
<p>blahhh</p>
<p>The art and arch final is only like an hour and half and it's not really necessary to study.</p>
<p>in that case, don't slack off studying for math and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>last quarter i had three finals on the same day because it gave me an absolutely perfect schedule and i figured one day of hell was worth 10 weeks of greatness. oh how wrong i was...</p>
<p>but two finals with one being a&a 10 should be fine.</p>
<p>thanks, that makes sense.</p>
<p>liyana, that sucks! i was thinking the same thing too... but yeah since the final is worth a big part of the final grade i guess its value outweighs 10 weeks of greatness!</p>
<p>torture is:</p>
<p>math 3B final at 3-6
LS2 final at 6:30-9:30
hnrs 25 final project due at noon (via email)</p>
<p>i stayed up til 7:30 a.m. that day
but i woke up at 12 noon
from 12 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. = most harrying 7.5 hours of my year</p>
<p><em>ahem</em> i've got an annoucement to make!</p>
<p>so i FINALLY decided on a schedule. this one is for sure fo shizzle i'm serious! :D</p>
<p>hist2c with ruiz
math3a with weinstein
art&arch10 with winter
educ92f with barbee (loved this dude...he spoke the first day of orientation)</p>
<p>i'm glad it worked out this way and that all my finals are on different days...
whatcha guys think? is it doable?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>is there any chance scerri (i'm not sure thats how you spell his name) will teach chem14A for winter quarter?</p>
<p>i'm a music major, but will likely add a major in the biological sciences area, so i need a good college GPA.</p>
<p>he has done it for the last 2 years</p>
<p>Lavelle is hardly that bad. I think most people are complaining cause on bruinwalk cause the class is curved and 15% get As and these freshmen are all used to getting As in HS. I thought he was a decent professor. In all seriousness if you can't handle Lavelle you have no business being a premed.</p>
<p>BTW if the Math 3A professor is Shouxin Dai (not Shibin Dai) then do what you can to take him. Trust me. I got two A-s in 3A and 3B and that was only cause i managed to make dumb mistakes in 1 midterm each quarter and did excellent on the other exams. He is pretty damn easy. Tests are straightforward and it is completely possible to get a 100% on every exam. As far as i know the classes were not curved. Averages for exams were all in the mid 80s range and the median even hit the 90s sometimes. If your a premed, take him for a science GPA booster. His class is 20% Midterm 1, 15% Midterm 2 (not sure why he does it this way), 15% homework, and 50% final.</p>
<p>Hell you could use Ti-89s on the exams AND a notecard full of formulas and notes. The Ti-89 basically guarantees you partial credit and allows you to check your answers on the exams. Professors like Popa don't allow notecards.</p>
<p>does Popa allow calculators on exams?</p>
<p>According to my friend who had popa for 3A/3B he did NOT allow calculators.</p>
<p>So yeah, take Dai.</p>
<p>Physical sci series does not allow calculators</p>
<p>no calcs on popa's tests, i hated that</p>
<p>has anyone taken weinstein for math? he's teaching math3a fall quarter.</p>
<p>there are no reviews for this prof on bruinwalk. there is however a richard weinstein who is under the architecture department. the prof i wanna know about is weinstein, j.s. ... so it isn't the one on bruinwalk.</p>
<p>any input anyone? :)</p>
