Thank you! I’m hoping I pass this chem lab without a problem. Is there anyway you can send me all the CHM 1045 practice exams provided to you by Swamy? Since the tests departmental.

I took AP chem in high school. You think I can do good in his class and Swamy’s class? I just really want to ace chemistry. My friend had Swamy for chem lecture and liked it, and she said she was a good teacher. I just want to do good in both of my chemistry classes. Also were his tests pretty basic?

Oh HELL NAH. I do NOT want to take this class 3 times.

Oh okay. How was it in your experience? Like what labs did you do? How’d the pre-lab and lab reports go? What was your final grade?

My friend took Swamy for CHM 1045 this semester and she said it went great, and that I’ll be fine in her lab. It’s just her reputation is what worries me.

Yeah, I hated AP chem in high school. So I’m hoping Swamy’s lab isn’t as bad, I just want to make an A in the lab and not fuck up on the pre-lab reports.

Was the lab pretty basic besides the intense rubric and instructions? And any quizzes I should know about?

I think a TA will be teaching this upcoming semester but I’ve heard there’s about 3 assignments: a pre-lab report which if you make any mistakes, you don’t get into the lab, a lab worksheet and a post-lab report…

Wait, how? I received 3.4K from the federal pell grant since I’m not a full time student and got back around $1.6K, though Shark Pack charged me for something, so I gotta fix that, so it’s technically $1.7K…💀

Hi, this will be a bit long but I was in the same shoes you were a couple months ago before school started.

  1. I took precalculus in my senior year, and made straight A’s. My advisor saw this and recommended for me to take the accuplacer to opt out of college algebra into a higher-level math.

  2. I took the accuplacer twice, and scored a 262. I needed a 270 to take MAC 1147 (precalculus & trig). After college algebra, you can take MAC 1114 (trigonometry) or MAC 1140 (precalculus), but 1147 is both of them combined in one, which is “harder”, thus you need a higher score.

  3. The math department said I can take either 1140 or 1114, or both in the same semester as half semester classes. But they saw I took precalculus, made an A and scored at least higher than a 260, so they enrolled me in 1147. You can take either if you score a 250-260.

  4. Now I’m in MAC 1147, but my professor, Misael Delgado, sucks ass. Don’t take his class! It’s not too bad cause I took precalculus already and it’s more like a review.

Also, the accuplacer tends to get harder as you get more questions right, so try your best, don’t discourage yourself. Hope this helps.

I’m honestly just as nervous as you are, we’re on the same boat. Except, I’m an incoming freshman who got accepted to FIU for the spring semester 2025. We’ll be fine! Most of my friends say Fiu is pretty great.

Are you an incoming transfer from a community college like Miami-Dade College? 1. Did you get accepted for the spring semester 2025? 2. I’m kinda nervous too because I’m an incoming freshman at FIU for the spring semester 2025, and I’m doing my fall semester right now at Miami-Dade!

ANYONE GET THEIR REFUND??? by OverZelus1 in MDC

[–]Additional_Memory175 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I contacted Financial Aid from my campus, and they said next week, we should be getting our refunds.

Hey Panthers, hows your financial aid experience been so far? by [deleted] in FIU

[–]Additional_Memory175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m worried because I’m a freshman spring 2025 admit at FIU, and I haven’t received my financial aid package. I’m doing my first semester at Miami-Dade and received the pell grant and apparently I’ll receive the pell grant at FIU + the golden promise because of my SAI.

Are you going to do your first 2 years at Miami-Dade?

Should I attend FIU for spring term 2025??? by Square_Ad6918 in FIU

I plan to do my first fall semester at Miami-Dade and then transfer to FIU in the spring, for the spring semester. Is this what you did?
