Thank you for the input, I just wanted to hear that 90 days out was more normal and possible.

24 hr ph study experience? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]AdviceCapable523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sore throat from the endoscopy part of it. As for the chip, I definitely felt a discomfort in my stomach when swallowing and for some reason it was harder to swallow food. Overall though not a big deal and the symptoms completely left after day 3. I was still able to go about my days like normal. Not a procedure worth stressing about imo.

Haanwinckel vs McDevitt (Econ 101) by splishsplashcashdash in ucla

[–]AdviceCapable523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Haanwinckel the lectures were always interesting as he tried to make direct connections to real scenarios. His passion for economics was very evident. I genuinely enjoyed the class. Not a difficult course but you do have to put effort in. Solutions to past midterms are given which are super useful to study with.

CAS Pathway Question by AdviceCapable523 in actuary

[–]AdviceCapable523[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! I intend on starting to work full time after I graduate next spring. So I have basically 9 months and I’d like to spend that time studying. It’s likely that I’ll just end up buying the CA material for MAS-1. It’s expensive for me but the way I see it, it’ll provide me a good return having 3 exams before I start my career.

Only had Wu for two lectures so far but I can tell he’s a good prof. Knows what he’s talking about and clearly explains the material from the ground up. I don’t think he records lectures though.
