<p>Does ChemE have any 4.0 students?</p>
<p>I think the toughest transition in CS31 is from Project 2 to Project 3. As for projects itself, it changes every quarter.</p>
<p>Alright. well I'm currently taking it. Project 2--> 3 was pretty rough, but we had two weeks and I was able to figure out what functions did what and why so I ended up doing fine. We're doing a matrixes for the next two projects- determinants and solving systems of equations. I'm still a bit confused about arrays and how to make so that I can set the rows and columns of everything, but hopefully Rohr will cover that in lecture this next week. </p>
<p>project 4 = matrix determinants
project 5 = using matrix determinants to solve systems of equations --> cramer's rule essentially</p>
<p>Need to figure out how to replace 'columns' within the arrays to do cramer's though.</p>
<p>
The last project (usually a robots game) is the hardest. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>anyone know how hard is CS 151B and 152A or its EE equiv EE116 C and 116L?</p>
<p>CS 151B is the same difficulty as CS M51A. CS 152A is the same difficulty as Physics 4BL, but since it's a lab course, the difficulty also depends on your lab partner. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>CS 31 in winter07:
project 5 was hardest. project 6 and 7 were like homework assignments and 73% of the class got 100s on them</p>
<p>Flopsy,
My son is a CSE freshman. I asked him is he going to take summer school in UCI or community college for some general elective. It will be much cheaper without housing cost since we live in Irvine. He says he needs to balance his GPA with easy and hard courses over the regular school year to maintain his GPA. Is he “pulling my leg” with excuses or is this legitimate strategy? Can freshman find any intern training even without pay? My husband is a CS engineer, perhaps I will ask him. Or else he is going to get a PT time job. Advice anyone?</p>
<p>
This is a legitimate strategy. Summer sessions courses at other UCs (not sure about community colleges) can count towards the general education requirement, and are good for raising one's GPA since summer sessions tend to have easier grading. Also, it is very difficult for a freshman to obtain an internship (paid or unpaid), since most internships are targeted towards juniors, who have more programming experience. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Has anyone taken CM 145 with Professor Liao? How is that class? I heard he makes his students cry.</p>
<p>I'm also wondering if anyone has taken the nanotechnology technical breadth course and how they like it. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Liao is teaching 145? Usually Tang teaches 145 and Monoboquette teaches 125.
Heard good things about Tang and 145, fair class and he's really cool. Most people wanted to take Tang for 104D/L versus Segura. </p>
<p>Liao as a professor isn't bad. For 107, he's fair but the course material is just math so this could be a factor.</p>
<p>Hicks is either hit or miss, you either love him or you don't. No fine line in between really.</p>
<ul>
<li>TB54</li>
</ul>
<p>errr, i don't know--that's what it says in the hsseas catalog book (that liao is teaching during fall). </p>
<p>Not a ChemE so I don't have to take the other classes, but thanks for the input! =)</p>
<p>i am currently taking math 32b and was wondering if i can take 33b before 33a. on the schedule of classes it says it's highly recommended i take 33a first, but what do you guys think? thanks</p>
<p>
Yes, you can take Math 33B before Math 33A, although I wouldn't recommend it. It helps to know concepts like linear independence and matrix determinants before taking Math 33B. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Same as flopsy. I wouldn't recommend it. You can take them concurrently though. It used to be more difficult if you did so, but they took out a lot of the material in 33B.</p>
<p>So what you only learn now in 33B is first and second order ODEs. The harder topics (boundary value equations, Bessel, Airy, Legendre, Laplace transform, series solutions, numerical methods) are all now in upper division math engineering courses (MAE 182A,B,C).</p>
<p>ok, so my potential fall quarter schedule next year is going to be Math 33b, CS 33, EE1, and Physics 4BL. Am i right to assume that doing a quarter like that and not die a painful death is impossible? What should I switch out/drop?</p>
<p>i think the typical schedule is</p>
<p>math 33a/33b, ee1, physics 4bl, and eem16/csm51 (which was not any close to being impossible) oh and i'm assuming you're a CSE major</p>
<p>so replacing eem16 with with CS33 is definitely a big jump. but it's not going to be impossible, just a lot of good time management. spread your work throughout the week and it should be fine</p>
<p>
You're going to die a painful death. I recommend dropping Physics 4BL. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>next quarter i'm taking </p>
<p>cs 33
physics 4al
math 32a
and physics 1b</p>
<p>any suggestions on which two i should use my first pass on?</p>
<p>woops meant math 33a</p>
