<p>Honestly, I think some majors should not accept transfers and EECS is one of them. Why? CC classes are not even comparable in difficulty as EECS classes for say. People who got in as freshmen were already used to the difficulty, stress of those classes and with 2 years of drilling, they can cope with classes better, know the best approach in dealing with those classes. Not to mention Upperdivs are harder to start with. Transfers also tend to have a mindset/habit of dropping classes when they find it not as expected.</p>
<p>And since when questions that show up on HW will show on exams? You’ll be lucky to have even 1 such FREEBIE on the exams (unless Professor explicitly said most questions on HW will show up on exam). </p>
<p>Having a B- isn’t too bad! And there might be a curve at the end of the semester so it might not even be a B- till then. </p>
<p>It’s going to look bad if you decide to drop out of Cal, get all W’s regardless how beautiful your grades look in SFSU down the road. I would call barely passing Cal better than the former route. Personally know a person who transferred from CC to Cornell. 1 year later, she transferred from Cornell to Davis, it just SHOUTS OUT all sorts of things to people.</p>
<p>People at the bottom of Cal, at least THEY PUT ON A FIGHT to graduate from here and not trying to escape/not deal with it.</p>
<p>You said it yourself, “there are other people who fail exams too”, so it’s not only you, why get upset about it? Who said you can’t improve as the semester goes on? </p>
<p>THE BRIGHT SIDE: Even if you barely passed all your classes and graduated, your OVERALL GPA is still higher than your EECS peers cos of the CC GPA. So you are still going to have a better GPA than they do at the end of the day. That’s something to be happy about.</p>
