<p>I am looking to find out how active EWB is at UCLA. I've attempted to contact current members about what they are working on, but none responded. I am a transfer student so I haven't actually been on campus to find out myself. Does anyone know anything about EWB at UCLA. ( If it helps, I am a pseudo-member at the college I currently attend, but time has kept me away)</p>

Did those pp take AP Physics the class but not the exam?

I have never heard of anyone who has taken the class but not the exam. Anyway, the material is basic enough (only a bit harder than AP Physics C Mechanics material) that an A is attainable. Maybe except if Corbin in the instructor. Then lots of outside study.</p>

1st Qtr: Math 32A, Chem 20B/20L, GE (or Eng 3 if bomb the AP)
2nd Qtr: Math 32B, Physics 1B, Physics 4AL, GE
3rd Qtr: Math 33A, Physics 1C, MAE 94

Sounds about right if you're disciplined enough to start 1st Quarter. 20L is time consuming if you run into the wrong partners though.</p>
<p>
I guess I'm wrong... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
As far as I know EWB was active last year, but I don't know what they've been up to this year. Maybe their officers have mostly graduated. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Boelter: EE10 and EE110 subjects are easier for me than E&M and by word of mouth, I think most people will agree. In EE10/100, the hardest math you'll use (not a lot) are 1st and 2nd order ODE which I find to be way easier than the vector calculus used in E&M (lower division physics, EE101).</p>
<p>The projects for CS33 just got harder by tenfold. :(</p>
<p>
Yeah, I know. I didn't even finish the last CS 33 project. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>OMG I will probably have to take CS33 this Fall quarter:(.....I plan on spending 5 hrs per day alone for that class. Is that enough? :(</p>
<p>Sounds like the Physics 1A v 1B decision can be postponed until 2nd Qtr?</p>
<p>"I would vote for doing the totally-for-fun opportunity."</p>
<p>So you don't think Math 31B or 32A (w/o Biskup), Chem 20A or 20B fill up in the first 3-4 orientation sessions? I bet they're popular since so many eng majors need them, but there are plenty of seats?</p>
<p>
They're definitely popular, but the enrollment for those classes actually scales up to meet demand so they rarely ever fill up permanently. The faculty can actually increase the number of lectures/sections dynamically over the summer. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ahh me too, cs33 with rohrrr</p>
<p>I don't remember how fast classes filled up during orientation, but 3rd/4th shouldn't be too bad. moldau mentioned that chem 20B isn't offered during fall, and there's usually a bunch of people dropping math/chem classes the first couple weeks of the quarter. The only time I had trouble getting a class was when I was trying to get physics 1A winter quarter (which I eventually got after other people dropped)
oh and make sure to read the notes for classes, some of them have outside-of-class midterms or additional thursday classes</p>
<p>what type of programming language do you learn in CS1?</p>
<p>C++ (Assuming you meant CS31 - which is the introductory class to programming)</p>

<p>Biskup is not teaching 2007-2008. Chayes will be though for 32A Fall. Chem 20B should not fill up fast, there's plenty of room. I believe it should be open in the fall.</p>
<p>Don't bank on a good hour for Math if you don't get the first two orientation sessions.</p>
<p>Ooh happy days, from what you all have said about Biskup! How's Chayes for 32A?</p>
<p>Undecided about Chem 20A or 20B, but good to know 20B will prolly still have spaces mid/late summer.</p>

<p>The Biskup grading is all overrated. It's not like no one received As and Bs. In fact, I believe ~30 students got higher than B-. Usually it requires you to read the book yourself, and work extra hard on the problem sets. Go to office hours. He had them to assist people on hw although you weren't allowed to copy down. People blamed a professor for failing grades (which the grading scale was skewed too much towards the right) but they had an equal opportunity to ask for help.</p>
<p>Chayes is a bit difficult to understand and his hw sets are a fraction of the difficulty of Biskup's sets. </p>
<p>It doesn't matter which professor you get if you are only concerned about grades. An 'A' is not impossible. A professor is not the one to solely 'blame'
for a poor grade.</p>
<p>Ouch Boelter. There were 150 students in that class at the end.</p>
<p>For people planning to transferring into ucla's engineering school as juniors...</p>
<p>does anybody know if they favor some cccs over others?</p>
<p>I'd appreciate any help.</p>
<p>and by they i mean the admissions people</p>
<p>No, I'm pretty sure UCLA doesn't favor any community colleges. :rolleyes:</p>
