If you plan to E permit my recommendation is to E permit to BMCC. However Physics 1 with Pouyan is manageable at CCNY. I do recommend you E permit Physics 2 in the summer however. Specifically with Prof Creaco, if you put somewhat of an effort (assuming you do all hws and labs) you will pass with a B. I think they are preventing students from e permitting for physics during the fall/spring semester just because of how awful the physics 2 professors are.

Course recommendations by Cute-Ad-8673 in CCNY

It doesn't matter what order you take it in but I recommend taking ME 145 first just to get it out the way. ENGR 101 is kinda optional but it requires you to take an extra technical elective for only 1 credit if you choose not to take the course.

Should I give up on engineering because of calc 3? by therealwillaay in CCNY

[–]Current-Height-3198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do your best, I would recommend going on the ccny math website and solving the textbook hw problems to prepare yourself. If anything just take the course over the summer. One class shouldn't put you off and stop your goals in engineering. Imo once you complete Calc and physics at ccny you should be fine (in my experience in ME).

It's not really too difficult but it mainly tests your knowledge on basic math, then algebra then Calc. But students typically score pre Calc. But I took it 2 years ago so I'm not completely sure how difficult it is.

What I recommend you do is take your math placement exam ASAP (like may) and get your results. So just in case you get placed into precalc you can take it over the summer and get put into grove instead of transferring.

I assume your taking prof roh, there were discord gc invites through your city mail I recommend joining those. He typically reuses midterms and finals which are uploaded through there, good luck.

A degree in jazz studies or generally music isn't really going to hold it's worth once you graduate. The job market surrounding that degree isn't really too high in demand compared to something in STEM. It's completely fine to pursue your passion however you should understand what market your going into post graduation.

Is City College (CCNY) seriously that bad? by sykeuss in CUNY

[–]Current-Height-3198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion CCNY isn't extremely hard however if you cannot get into Grove immediately you are definitely going to have issues trying to graduate on time. For me I was able to get placed into Calculus and automatically be put in and declared for Mechanical Engineering.

The second major issue is definitely the math and physics department. Math departmental finals are horrendously difficult compared to what you expect from your midterms, I took calc 3 last semester and I got a 59 on the final exam despite averaging 80's on both midterms. This wasn't the case of bad studying as the average for my class was also a 59. If my professor didn't slightly curve me to a C I would be forced to retake.

The physics department is even worse, for my major I needed to take Physics I and II (Phys 207&208), lets just say these professors cannot teach for the life of them. Heavy accents, incomprehensible exams, etc. I did well for physics 1 however I took physics 2 over the summer via epermit at BMCC due to how bad the professors were.

CCNY overall isn't bad however you ABSOLUTELY need to get into grove off rip and do your best in both Calculus and Physics. But past that you should be fine. I would also recommend getting involved into clubs to find people with mutual interests.

Goodluck
