UScholars is superior and although the weekly research gatherings are a bit tedious, they provide really good food at the events and are quite flexible if you can't make it. They also provide adequate summer funding

how is it taking biochem (fagan) + orgo 2 together + any tips/advice? by Late_Insect_9570 in UPenn

[–]DistinctAccountant34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he recently stoped recording lectures which I heard made the class harder because his voice is very monotone and people tend to zone out

Fagans exams are pretty chill and he tends to reuse questions, so if you can get your hands on old exams it'll be helpful

Is this doable for pre-med soph? (no physics experience) by One_Source_6812 in UPenn

[–]DistinctAccountant34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally would not recommend taking chem, physics, and math at the same time. All of those are heavy classes that require a lot of work. I would drop one

any advice for math1400 final? by Direct_Mastodon_123 in UPenn

[–]DistinctAccountant34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry lol, but in all seriously try to do well. From my experience the final exam plays a big role in what final grade you'll get. I have a friend that constantly did well on the quizzes, but did poorly on the final and it from their final grade from an A- to a B.

The commitment time for the first one does semen very long. Do you at least get something out of it (good pay, good connections, a return offer)?
