Maybe it's because I had to start at College Algebra and refreshed myself with a lot before Calculus & Analytical Geometry 1 but wow. Maybe I'm not a dumb fuck? From what I've been able to see, the only guys who actually complain in engineering are just idiots that end up dropping it anyway. Really, if you're willing to study like 3 hours a day, you'll be perfectly fine the entire time.

Units are objectively the most important thing in a mathematical science answer.

>the answer is 30
30 what? 30ml? 30L? 30nm? 30Hz? 30bp? Units are important. Especially if the equation involved multiple units and you had to progressively cancel them out. That also shows you understand how you got the answer.

Losing marks for not showing working is BS though.

nigga, engineering is work intensive as fuck. 3 hours a day aint shit. once you hit late junior year you get fuckloads of projects/written assignments that will take 6+ hours a day.

you don't need to study at that point, because you are immersed in the material whether you want to be or not.

No, the thing is that the key insight is the first step of the proof, and it just becomes algebra after that.
I second guessed the rigor of my proof, but it turned out that it was totally correct at first and that by the time I realized it I had 4 minutes left.
I only finished 1/3 problems, with the other two 1/2 or 1/4 finished, respectively

people just tell you it's going to get hard because they are butthurt, they aren't as smart as you and things got hard for them a long time ago and they are jealous so they try to bring you down to their level.

and there are plenty of smart people in engineering, they are just out working at companies actually engineering stuff and making money instead of dicking around at universities doing toy projects with undergrads.

Don't. If you can't do at least 3 hours a day, you're going to be a first semester drop and that's a guarantee.

pic related, engineering students don't fuck around. It's like if medical school was an undergrad degree.

if you can use your time efficiently, you'll be able to do your work in less than 3 hours for your pre-req classes (math, science, etc...)

Once you start physics and your actual engineering classes 3 hours is probably minimum. If you can't do 3+ hours with engineering, then you should reconsider your major.

I haven't started my engineering classes, just math so I have spare time. But I know some of my classmates stay at school all day working on their projects or stuff from other classes.

So this seems like a safe place to ask.

I took an exam today and the questions were poorly worded, typos everywhere, and some questions were straight up missing words in them. Can I request to see the exam after I get my grade back on it? In case I want to refute my grade? Thanks for any info

Here's what you do. When you see problems, ask the fucking person administering the test what they meant.

Yeah, of course. Some anons will call any dispute over grades "grubbing," but I think professors are much more pragmatic than that. Legitimately incorrect grading should get you points back; what you shouldn't do is ask for more points on problems you know you did incorrectly.

You make a college degree out to be a life sentence, Jesus Christ. If you don't like your job, do something different. You have scientific training, and you could always go back for a few semesters to finish another degree. Or you can do something completely unrelated to science if that strikes your fancy.

I guess that's true, but those profs aren't worth trying to please, imo. If they refuse to give any points back, I just wouldn't push it any further.

Yeah that's what I'm planning on doing, I was just being excessively melodramatic for effect. I'm thinking of going into Biomed Engineering since I think I would enjoy doing something more practical and problem-solving based a lot more than the basic research I'm doing now, plus a lot of my current courses transfer over so it would only be another two years.

Although /sci/ and other forums makes it seem like Biomedical Engineering isn't the greatest career choice either, so I guess I'll see. I'd like to go into Mech Eng ideally, but I don't thing I could handle another 4 - 5 years of undergrad.

Probably every university has a policy that you're always allowed to see your graded tests and assignments.

There's a trend of the professor handing out graded tests and then taking them back at the end of the period, though. I think it's because students started changing their answers and then taking it to the prof to get points back.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I did ask my prof. for clarification, and come to find out his research assistant was the one who actually typed out the exam. Although, he gave his assistant the questions.

But it makes me wonder if he truly knows the exam he's giving out, given he didn't see the mistakes in them. Tomorrow I'll ask to see the exam I took/ask for my scantron back. Thanks again.

Fucking attendance policies man. My first 7 semesters of physics/math undergrad had zero classes with attendance, so I could just coast through, waking up whenever, reading the textbook whenever, only showing up for exams, shit was so cash and easy A's all around. Then my final semester out of nowhere all 5 of my classes had mandatory attendance and having to wake up early every morning completely ruined my performance. Thankfully I'd already gotten offers from a bunch of grad programs, so these grades didn't really matter as long as I didn't fail, but damn does sleep deprivation wreck academic ability.

Why do any professors make attendance mandatory?

i had a bio class that had required attendance and it was a t fucking 7:45 am. I am not a morning person at all, I get up at around 10ish and it takes me an hour to get my shit together.

So I had to wake up at 6:30 to get my shit together and be there on time.

Needless to say, I ended up shitting the bed hard on the class and got a D. I still have to retake it, but after that I told myself I would never take another class that early in the morning. idgaf.

Americans calculate car consumption in mile/gallon. Europe use L/100km.
Beside obvious system change, one is the opposite of the other : length/volume and volume/length.

The ideal gas law, PV=nRT.
R has the value 8.314 J·K−1·mol−1 or 0.08206 L·atm·mol−1·K−1 (sorry, ugly pasta from wikipedia, I can't into latex.)
The units actually help you check you made your calculations correctly (if you end up with a temperature in square feet, there's something wrong.)

And, since it shows you understand the logic right rather than just adding a few numbers in a calculator, or looked on your neighbour's copy, it's worth many points.
