<p>How is this schedule? I'm signed up for EECS but I'm considering Computational Engineering Science:</p>
<p>Engineering 45 - Gronsky
Engineering 7 - papadopolous
Public Health 14
Public Health 104A</p>
<p>I will have taken the math/physics series and e10 by the end of this school year, and chem1a over the summer. I'm trying to take an easy load this coming semester so I can concentrate on other activities.</p>
<p>Doesn’t look anything at all like what you’d expect from an EECS major. What’s with the public health classes?</p>
<p>Haha, my interests are all over the place. Public health 14 fulfills one of my humanities requirements and the 104A class is just out of interest. So how does the work load look like?</p>
<p>why take e7 if u r in eecs?</p>
<p>Yeah…I would think for Computational EECS, you’d need 61A-B-C</p>
<p>@edward & Indian:</p>
<p>I was thinking of switching into CES (under the engineering science major, not EECS), which is a different major altogether (I’m planning to consult with an advisor soon). According to the Engineering Announcement PDF on the engineering website, CES majors need to take Engineering 7. Overall, the CES seems more flexible in terms of what courses I can take.</p>
<p>Fair enough. </p>
<p>E45 was hard when I took it last semester, but that was with Devine. Gronsky is supposed to be amazing, and most of my friends have done great in that class.
E7 is a joke. I never went to class, got the lab answers from my friends, and barely studied for the MTs/Final, and got an A-. </p>
<p>In retrospect, I really should have learned MATLAB, since I use it a bunch now, but eh. Whatever.</p>
<p>@OP-Classes in the hundreds are upper division classes. They might assume you know some things that you don’t.</p>
<p>@.:Indian:.-It’s not hard to get an A, let alone an A-, when you cheat on labs. Labs are worth 50% of the grade. That’s twice as much as the final. They do the grades like this because programming is not a spectator sport; you learn programming by actually doing it. The tests don’t measure anything except isolated knowledge about functions and your ability to trace code.</p>
<p>Basically, you cheated on one half of your grade, and the other half doesn’t measure anything important. And then you call the class a joke and brag about it.</p>
<p>Okay, I retract my prior statement. Thanks for calling me out, Cavilier. I definitely had that coming…
I happen to have learned a lot about programming before I took that class, and a lot about MATLAB programming after actually practically applying the information in other classes/my research. I got lab answers from friends for labs that I already knew what was going on (for which lecture did not help at all), and would rather have spent my time on more valuable classes (i.e OChem) than doing the busy work of typing up the code, debugging it, etc. for something that I really didn’t care about.</p>
<p>I did all my own work for the in-class labs, and for any labs that I didn’t immediately understand. But, you are right that I may have misled the OP. Just go to discussions and ask your GSI’s when you’re really stuck, and you’ll be fine.</p>
