<p>It's not supposed to. I had credit transferred for 115 and 116. The problem was that i did those nearly 3 years ago. Two classes and already I didn't understand half of what the prof was saying. First set of homework is a dead end too.</p>
<p>Heard of anyone spending time in the library studying (more like struggling) during welcome week? Pretty sad.</p>
<p>Studying for 215 already? isn't it just like vectors and **** right now? hmm, maybe consider dropping.</p>
<p>my point exactly. why am i struggling? i've no idea. i know i'm not supposed to.</p>
<p>Consider retaking 116. If you drop 215 now, you may have the same problem next time around.</p>
<p>thing is, i've been told that revisiting 116 doesn't really help in doing 215. apparently they don't cover much of the same grounds. if i drop 215 now i intend to sit in on 116 lectures then retaking 215 next term.</p>
<p>advisor suggested i just probably need help in reactivating the dormant knowledge in my brain. in which case i shld cram materials in this two days and see if that helps, by next wednesday.</p>
<p>I'm taking 216 and have no idea what the prof is talking about either...I really didn't understand Math 255 either, but I squeaked through with an A-.</p>
<p>This kind of math is just reading the book and learning by repetition. Lecture did nothing for me in 255, and I don't count on it doing much for me in 216. Come to think of it, almost all of the lectures I've attended have been worthless.</p>
<p>I would say it's quite unusual to be having this much trouble this early on. I would recommend visiting office hours to try to get the concepts. It does get significantly more challenging toward the end of the course -- the first week or two is just adjusting to a 3-dimensional mindset.</p>
