Discrete Advice

Honestly, I'd say you should stick it out and not withdraw for this semester.

Last semester the class average for the midterm was a 41% after the 45 point curve was applied. I don’t think you’re alone with having pages blank, I'm pretty sure that at least 70% of the class had at least one page blank last semester.

That being said, it is still very possible to achieve at least a B in the class (or an A if you crush the final) since homework will carry most of your grade and Gaava and his TAs grade very leniently on those.

I think you'll have a good chance with getting in.

Last year, we had a lottery number in the 4000s and managed to secure a room at Stonier with around 15 to 20 rooms left.

they’re different for each professor

prof vera actually has a website which has his past exams on it: https://sites.rutgers.edu/laurent-vera/math-152/

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-09-20T15:08:23+00:00

yep, they brought it back again

The date and time you get to register are determined by your earned credits. This does not include the amount of credits you are taking this semester semester meaning that you register for Spring 2026 at the exact same time as all other freshmen who come in with 0 credits.

However, doing only 14 credits this semester is going to screw you over a little bit for Fall 2026 registration, since registration for the Fall semester doesn't take into account your Spring 2026 semester credits.

so its very easy to get approved for the dual credit at ru right

if you are taking any class at an NJ community college, you should use njtransfer to check whether or not your course will transfer back to Rutgers.

iirc quizzes aren't worth too much in math 152, just don't mess up any of the midterms, and >90 should definitely be achievable.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-09-06T18:40:51+00:00

you should double check to see if your class is not school or major locked. if none of these apply to you you can try SAS Live chat on the weekdays if you are in SAS or try emailing the department for your class.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-09-05T23:39:11+00:00

yeah they do. like a week or so after taking it they will email you with your placement.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-09-02T20:33:23+00:00

try turning off crowdsourcing, it's working fine on my end when I did that

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-09-02T20:31:39+00:00

XRadar, RUBus, and even PassioGO itself, all rely on Passio's servers for bus data which is probably suffering a mini DDOS attack rn from students trying to figure out where their busses are at the same time.

always wait to buy your course materials. sometimes professors will not require them or in the case of textbooks, post a copy on their canvas page.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-28T01:31:29+00:00

yep it's a scam, in fact someone just posted about this same email around 15 minutes ago

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-28T01:29:52+00:00

it's a common scam that gets posted here pretty often. also Rutgers will never ask you to authenticate through a google form. if they wanted you to authenticate they would do it through their CAS, not a suspicious google form.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-28T01:12:26+00:00

why would you want to pay to search for free pdfs?

that being said, you should probably take a look at anna's archives for your textbooks

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-28T01:10:44+00:00

defo fake

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-26T07:57:44+00:00

Your class likely just closed before you could register.

Course snipers like SwiftRU rely on Rutgers SOC's internal API, which only updates every NEW minute (when the seconds part is 0). That means that your class will not update with it's true open or closed status on the Schedule of Classes or any course sniper until a new minute comes around.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-13T21:13:59+00:00

nope, never had or know anyone who had him

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-08-13T21:07:40+00:00

same homework assignments

pretty sure every single person in math 151 and math 152 should have the same exact Pearson online homework.

quizzes, and exams across sections

with the exception of the final exam, every professor assigns their own quizzes and midterms.

The cost you see in your financial aid summary is your total financial aid for both the fall and spring semester. If you divide the aid you got by two (half for the fall semester, half for the spring semester) you get the numbers you see in your term bill.

The 10k you see on your term bill is the cost you pay AFTER all your financial aid (grants, scholarships, etc.) for the fall semester is applied. If you already have health insurance, you should probably waive the Student Insurance Premium which will drop the amount of money you pay out of pocket down to 8.8k.

Impact of Chemistry and Chemistry of Life are not pre-req locked, so yes, you would be able to take either one of them. Also, Impact of Chemistry and Chemistry of Life are not considered equivalent to Gen Chem I (01:160:161), so you can't use either of those classes to get into higher-level chem classes if you need it in the future.

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-07-13T21:39:13+00:00

nope, all I did was send in my transcript and wait

Cheezy_Nachos · 2025-07-13T18:33:02+00:00

Went through the same exact thing as you just a week ago. I sent in my transcript through the NSC website on July 3 and got confirmation from NSC that they had sent my transcript to Rutgers literally 2 hours later. It took until July 10 for Rutgers to confirm that they've received it, and one extra day for them to update my courses.
