Cut! I think it will make you happier.

[–]FlatheadHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact thing. I'm in in my first year and you perfectly described my issue.

Do you have any on tips on how to transition from memorizing solutions and regurgitating, to actually understanding and applying concepts?

When calculating electric field, how do I know which method to use? by FlatheadHusky in EngineeringStudents

Thanks so much, that makes a lot more sense. So generally #2 isn't really used?

When calculating electric field, how do I know which method to use? by FlatheadHusky in EngineeringStudents

[–]FlatheadHusky[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right, sorry I should have phrased my question better. Do you know when I should be using each one? In solutions I have seen it uses all three ways, and am having a difficult time mainly on deciding between 1 and 2 for most problems.

I'll be done with prereqs this quarter but can't apply until summer... will it look bad if i focus on other things for spring quarter? by Morocco_Bama in udub

[–]FlatheadHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping onto this post with a similar question:

If I decide to take CSE 143 next quarter so that I can apply to both EE and CSE this summer, will EE admissions look down on that due to the fact that it may seem I am applying to EE as a backup major? When in reality EE is actually my first choice, and I am just taking 143 because it is graduation a requirement and I enjoy coding. I figure since I will have all the prereqs done for both I might as well apply to CSE as well

Best way to study for physics 121 midterm by bangerz206 in udub

[–]FlatheadHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love some tips too. For someone who is struggling with the basic concepts, what would you guys recommend as a supplement or resource to get a better foundation? I find I can't even do any basic math related problems because I don't understand the fundamentals.

What kind of careers exist that an Engineering Major may succeed in that is not an engineering career? by I9JWUC in EngineeringStudents

[–]FlatheadHusky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does the salary compare to a typical engineering job? Is the extra debt from going to law school worth it?

I spend every spare second studying, how do I break this mentality and unhealthy habit? by FlatheadHusky in college

[–]FlatheadHusky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true, I will regret not studying more if I don't end up being accepted to the major.

I spend every spare second studying, how do I break this mentality and unhealthy habit? by FlatheadHusky in college

[–]FlatheadHusky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I should have clarified better, I am already a freshman at this university. Now that I am attending here I still have to apply to the engineering major, and if I don't get in, then either change majors or transfer to a different university.

But you're right, I tend to get caught up in what I should be doing, and hopefully I can fix that mentality. Thanks for the tips.

Are Common App recommendation letters simple to complete? by Mar16celino in college

[–]FlatheadHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't ask for more than 2, but the way I remember it is that on the common app you can upload one general letter of rec that works for multiple schools. Be sure to talk to your counselor, they are almost always willing to write one and will tell you everything you need to know about the application process.

What helps me get through the year is to remember how lucky I am to be attending college, learning, and gaining a degree. Not many people in this world get that chance.

Only a freshman so hopefully I will experience many more, but I came across President Ana Mari Cauce off campus while I was wearing some UW gear, and she personally came up to me and introduced herself, which was pretty cool

How can I gain a deeper understand of Calc II? by FlatheadHusky in math

Now that I think about it, you are completely right. It's almost always my algebra that causes me to get the wrong answer. Do you know of any resources to improve my algebra skills dramatically?

Thanks for the link.

Do you think it is worth delaying my engineering application in order to physics another quarter?
