<p>Does anyone know the average score on CS 32 finals (from past years)? I'm pretty sure I failed...</p>
<p>CS32 (W07) Statistics for the Final:</p>

To get a feel for the distribution of scores, here are some statistics:
75th percentile: 77
median: 66 mean: 65
25th percentile: 55

</p>
<p>Carey posted on the Facebook group that the median this year was about 60%</p>
<p>wow @ nachenberg creating a facebook group for his class..</p>
<p>what a guy.</p>
<p>how many people drop out of EE normally? and what major do they normally drop into?</p>
<p>any comments on EE/CS M117?</p>
<p>
EE/CS M117 is mostly EE. I only know one CS major who's taking it this Spring. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>This thread is now open for all HSSEAS freshman admits to ask current UCLA Engineering students stuff.</p>
<p>Welcome to UCLA! :rolleyes:</p>
<p>who got into BIOE?</p>
<p>yeah i really messed up on the cs 32 final... i have never messed up so much on a single exam...
i know the last question was very hard so i won't complain about getting like no pts on it, but i made very stupid mistakes on EASY questions that i knew how to do... for one of them... there were two consecutive "if" statements and i interpreted it as "else if" so i got that whole question wrong... then we were supposed to write a function that was supposed to count something, and i counted the wrong thing...
i'm estimating that i got less than 40/100... coming from someone who got a 91 on the midterm and an A in cs 31... totally effed up this dumb exam and its also gonna cap my project scores, which were pretty good =\
sadface...</p>
<p>is it true that the classes at UCLA are curved so that even if everyone gets A's only the top 10% would get the A?</p>
<p>...something like that, yeah. it's the same as any public school.</p>
<p>note that it doesn't apply to humanities, and i don't think it applies to social science.</p>
<p>i have a question...</p>
<p>flopsy, what is your major anyways???</p>
<p>How hard is it to change majors in case you have a change in heart?</p>
<p>Here is something I found quite accurate in my opinion. It's from the engineering majors forum, which is outside of this UCLA subforum.</p>

Not sure about the 8 hours total thing, I distinctively remembered having about 6 hours of class on average a day, then about 5 hours of regular homework on a weekday. On a weekend, I study/do homework for about 8 hours on average each day. Maybe if you are really good at basic sciences, in your first two years you can get away with studying 2 hours a night. Even then I remembered the recommended hours for Organic Chemistry alone was about 2 hours a night. But I don't think it's possible in the higher courses in engineering, there's plenty of group work/reports/presentations all the time.</p>
<p>Overall, the number of hours I just described I think is about average at Michigan Engineering, if you know how to work the system, you can get away with less hours, but not by much.</p>
<p>I haven't really found anyone that's a genius, that can just get good grades without studying, I don't think you can do that in engineering. One of my best friends had a 3.89 GPA with a double major in engineering, and I know he came from a top prep school, 1480 SAT(this was a few years back, when college admissions isn't as competitive), National Merit Scholar, and he worked his ass off to get that GPA.

<p>Also found this post by goat4d to be a bit amusing, though it may be true. :rolleyes:

Id be glad to</p>
<p>I wake up at 7AM eat then Go to library by 7:30 and study, first class usually at 9. I sit in the library from 7:30am till 6p, If I have a class or lab I go and then come back. Also give or take a hour lunch. All together this come to about 7 hours of studying.</p>
<p>I then at around 6pm go to my dorm and eat and go back to the library at around 8, after a little relaxing and a shower. I then stay at the library till 2-3am.</p>
<p>I then go back to my dorm and go to sleep and wake up the next morning at 7AM</p>
<p>In total it ads up to around 12-15 hours a day. I do this everyday. During the weekends I like to sleep a little bit, I go to bed around 3am and wake up at 9am, then I head to the library and get back to studying.</p>
<p>My school has 5 huge library's, they are always packed, even at 5Am.</p>
<p>you asked when do I have fun or to the gym, well I don't. I am not allowed to.

<p>i was looking at the course descriptions for upper div chemE classes.
what does outside study-7 hours mean?</p>
<p>Well, nbui, these are posters from UCLA. They are from other prestigious public engineering programs in the US.</p>
<p>It's always a debate on how much studying goes on in the undergraduate programs. Many factors - how rigorous, how much work, how well and quickly students learn.</p>
<p>But from what I've been reading, most students who posted in the thread studied at least 4 hours per day (study=doing hw, labs, group projects, reviewing notes, reading text). Some study around 7-8, and some even 15!</p>

At least for me, I spend more time than the "outside study per week" posted for my courses. Well not all of my courses.
Problem sets take me around 8 hours to complete, any keeping up with course material is about 1.5 hours per lecture per day (half for recitations).</p>
<p>So that's up to 12 hours per week spent per subject. I think it's the HW's that are killers - sometimes problem solving can be difficult and frustrating.</p>
<p>Some say you won't spend that much time studying weekly - it's how much ~ you spend the week before finals. You should ask around.</p>
<p>well now, ...hw, labs, group stuff, notes, text...all that makes sense. I just thought it was like 15 hours straight of reading. I just want some balance. But i figure college is gonna be different...youre suppose to study for the most part anyways.</p>
<p>Yeah, totally different. No one does 15 hours of straight reading, unlike you're like my roomate who crammed 8 weeks of materials in one night.</p>
<p>I think that if you less than 1 hour per day and get As, then you are either cheating or you are a genius. :rolleyes:</p>
