<p>How hard is k201? I just want to know what i'm in store for. My goal is to get into hutton and business honors.</p>
<p>Also, I just checked the grade distribution of geol-g116 and it dropped from 3.6 average in the fall to a 3.1 average in the spring. Did the professor revamp the class and make it harder or did the students just not do as well?</p>
<p>Organization is key in K201. Between lab and lecture, there’s a lot of different stuff due and students will completely forget to turn in an assignment. </p>
<p>There’s so much help available in K201 though, there’s really no reason for it to cause problems. At almost any time of the day, there’s likely to be an instructor holding office hours. There are open labs staffed by TA’s, and weekly review sessions. </p>
<p>If you’re really struggling with the material in K201, then you’re probably not reaching out for enough help.</p>
<p>Also, if you get behind in your Access database, get a peer tutor on it right when it happens in class. Don’t wait until after class, or even worse, the next class.</p>
<p>What’s the lab like? I don’t picture it to be like a science lab. Also, is the grading subjective like a english/writing class?</p>
<p>The lab is the main component of the course. It is where you will work with Access and Excel. The lecture is sort of an introduction to MIS. Basically how companies use technology. </p>
<p>All of your files are graded by a computer, so it’s objective.</p>
<p>K201 lab is very helpful and graded projects are very doable. The tests aren’t bad either. As for lecture, the tests are ridiculous, and it’s all definition memorization</p>
<p>Okay thanks for the input. I’d think memorization tests would be okay because it’s just requires studying and not really any theories that one would have to grasp.</p>
<p>What gets people on the lecture exam is that they focus so much on the lab, that they don’t ever do any of the lecture readings throughout the semester, because you don’t really have to until the midterm. Then you end up trying to memorize 150 definitions the night before the exam, which is a disaster. </p>
<p>Also, the fact that most of the lecture sections are Friday morning, and people just don’t go, doesn’t help either.</p>
<p>150 definitions in one test is excessive regardless of when you start studying. remember to do all possible extra credit. Your grade goes up 3% if you do. Every bit counts. Don’t miss lab because there are lab checks, and don’t miss lecture because some in class material will be on the test.</p>
<p>Yeah that is pretty excessive. Sorry for my stupidity, but I’m guessing it’s not matching and it’s just the definition and you write out what it is? Is the whole entire test definitions or are there other things?</p>
<p>Not like that. It will be like…which is not a part of a SWOT team analysis? Which part of a SWOT analysis is future based? etc.</p>
