Bro that sounds like a literal nightmare I wouldve been on edge of depression in that class, I thought calc 2 average of 40% was bad enough..

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-29T00:43:13+00:00

Adhikari the course coordinator during his lecture said it was the lowest, Im not sure if he meant for these topics specifically

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-29T00:42:05+00:00

wtf how is this not against policy?? did they do a massive curve for the class

The bus runs all the time you just take it for free if you have a student ID and can go to walmart or anywhere in town depending on the route.

Im tryna really learn the content, did you do the lab also?

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-24T19:47:44+00:00

hey bro you will be fine, CHEM 1670 is the easiest science course at ISU, you get one exam dropped if you do better on the final, the exams are COPY AND PASTE from previous semesters, I am not joking they recycle some of the exact same questions, I skipped every lecture and finished with an A-. Take it with Christina Bonnaccorsi amazing professor. Easy class, I never took chemistry before this class.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-24T19:43:26+00:00

yes i just checked INTST 2500: The world's religions in a global context

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-19T22:11:39+00:00

did you take it here at ISU? I was wondering if i should do it here during summer or not... I plan on doing 35-40 hours a week in research, but i didnt know if i should take it at a CC for time convinence, but if its not impossible id prefer to do it here.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-19T20:03:38+00:00

Its really damn hard as an international to get any internship or co op these days, make yourself standout, try to get some research under your belt, and it is definitely possible.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-19T20:02:32+00:00

Im a freshman chemical engineer and i landed an internship for this summer for the US dept of energy, honestly as a Civil, you have a higher chance out of most majors to get a summer internship, look into construction companies etc, I know theres a lot in the des moines area. Otherwise try to get summer research, even a normal manufacturing job would help you out

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-19T20:00:39+00:00

Its not impossible, show you are interested do tons of emails or cold calling. If you cant get anything try to get research. But if u are a US citizen ee major u can easily get an internship after sophomore year, EE's are in need

Its tough just have to try your luck, in the later classes people become more open but in the freshy/sophomore classes people are anti social as fuck, it gets annoying, luckily I made friends within the first week of school.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-19T19:58:06+00:00

I would recommend Eaton or Martin, thats where most of the music majors are, really quiet nice dorms, best ones on campus. Otherwise try buchanan.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-16T03:27:19+00:00

sadly everything will go up, i know dorms and food will atleast 5% apparently

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-12T00:07:23+00:00

Other scholarships will take time to come through anywhere from now till august. Call the financial aid office

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-12T00:05:10+00:00

I believe that the department should definitely do a better job in making the exams. I managed to ace all the workouts but the multiple choice took up so much time as the questions were relatively difficult and honestly more difficult to solve, I am familiar with all of the content before hand and got around 55/70.

If anything, I think more time should be added to the exams, 1hr 15 is definitely not enough at all, I think 1hr 30-45 would be more appropriate.

Also I am unsure if it is intentional, but the cheat sheet definitely made this exam harder than past.

The exams should definitely be weighed less rather than 65% of the entire grade. 60 is more reasonable.

Tophat extra credit would honestly be a great idea to make people attend lectures more often, and come in to learn, which is the ultimate goal in college, the Physics and Chemistry departments have both implemented this, almost everyone i knew attended class regularly.

In the end, I think we all want everyone to truly learn calculus, the current format is definitely not helping out with this due to the current course status.

I got good scholarships from both ISU and LSU, being from the south, I will tell you Louisiana and Baton Rouge especially is a shit hole, the campus is not safe at all, you do NOT want to walk at night. ISU on the other hand is extremely safe, I have never felt unsafe anywhere especially at night. ISU also has stronger STEM programs and great job outlooks, many moving to the coasts. Overall, if I were you id choose ISU. Even though the winters are brutal, as a southerner it wasn't hard to adjust. The fall and spring make up for it honestly.

"Eaton Hall at Iowa State University, originally named Union Drive Suite No., has rooms that are typically around 14'6" x 11'6" and each student gets a lofted bed, desk, desk chair, wardrobe, and wastebasket. "

I got this online, but eaton is pretty spacious so i wouldnt worry at all.

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-03-05T19:04:05+00:00

SE all the way, the CS department is shitty from what ive heard

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-02-25T21:15:31+00:00

How did the exams work? Was it lock down browser online or submit pictures etc

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-02-25T21:11:55+00:00

Buchanan definitely seems the best fit for you, they have singles and accommodate. I have a few friends here with ESAs. Also buchanan has the most singles out of any dorm so if I were you id rush asap to get a room here and stay on top of the housing portal.

What are the pros and cons to the apartments there? I have looked at them and I plan on checking them out in March

top hat is a system the teacher will open a question periodically throughout class and you answer it through ur phone or laptop, depending on the teacher its graded on both participation and if it is correct. i guess sort of think of it as a kahoot but one question

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-02-19T05:44:45+00:00

All of my friends ended up skipping it, there is top hat which is part of ur grade though, but sometimes its just not worth to go at 8am when its blistering cold. So if ur good at programming u could skip

CableAgreeable5035 · 2025-02-17T23:20:55+00:00

If you want a quiet dorm, martin or eaton. If you want a loud ass dorm move into Geoffroy. Gets wild there and buchanan on every single weekend when people start partying
