<p>i was wondering if the discussion sections for physics 6a are mandatory.. meaning will there be assignments due or attendance taken?</p>
<p>The discussion overlaps with 15 minutes of another class so I'll miss the last 20 minutes of discussion every week for physics 6a. I wouldn't mind going to another section/ office hours if I need help, but if there are assignments due/attendance taken I can't really do that.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>My question refers to the discussion section, not the lab section of the course.</p>
<p>Nope, 6A discussion are not mandatory. I didn’t think they were helpful at all, since it was mostly going over hw problems… most of which everyone already has the answer to.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>One more question on the same topic…</p>
<p>Do you think it matters who your professor is for 6A? or not so much? A lot of my friends suggested taking it with Bruinsma (rather than Coroniti) who has much better reviews, etc… But that won’t work for me.</p>
<p>I’m pretty good at physics; ended up with a 5 in AP physics B. Would the teacher really make that much of a difference? Should I wait to take it with a better teacher?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>youre pretty much set for a good deal of 6A (and parts of the rest of the series). 6a will be a breeze if you remember stuff from AP physics</p>
<p>coroniti has terrible reviews. just because you got a 5 doesnt mean anything…you would be surprised how much calculus a professor can bust out in the 6 series. find out more about coroniti if you must take him.</p>
<p>frkn bruinsma and rosenzweig got filled up so fast. im just sitting on my desktop rereshing the page so that in case someone drops i can add really quickly ;]</p>
<p>i know! im a freshman and i cant start registering until August during my Orientation. Do you guys think that they might open some spots up for Freshmen in the Physics 6A classes?</p>
<p>you finished calculus?</p>
<p>zzzboy: Assuming you are asking me, yea CC courses equivalent to Math 31A and 31B. so do u think they will open anymore spots?</p>
<p>hmm i doubt they will open more spots. its complicated because of the lab section. isnt 3C/32A a req for physics also or am i imagining things?</p>
<p>its a coreq i think. its not like you really USE any multivar lol…</p>
<p>i was planning on taking Math 32A and Physics 6A, but I guess I can’t if they don’t open any new spots. Dammit</p>
<p>just do the standard chem, math, ge.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the help. I actually already completed all the GE courses from Community College courses taken during high school. So I’m thinking about just taking Life Sciences or something of that sort.</p>
<p>arent you cool</p>
<p>thanks buddy! I wasnt trying to show off, just explaining my reasons.</p>
<p>hello physics 6a peoeple!</p>
<p>are any of you looking for anyoe to swap lab sections with?</p>
<p>im im m8 btw!</p>
<p>we dont engage in that kind of treachery</p>
<p>let me know when u do swap so i can take your section!!! rawr ;D</p>
