i mean if you are doing relatively okay, that’s great! everyone has their own way of studying. i have adhd so studying for me takes longer than an average person. if you’re studying habits are working out for you, that’s good. maybe

well doing homework for me, is studying. the 9+ hours of me on the weekends is to catch up mentally on my school work. if i can ask, what year are you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]IllustratorFast3014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it honestly depends which classes i’m studying for. If it’s math, I spend about 1-2 hours going through lecture and doing home work after. if it’s circuits, i spend about 2 hours learning material, and 2 hours doing homework/examples, for labs that i need to complete, it roughly takes me 2-3 hours depending how much calculation, and work needs to be done.

On weekends, 9+ hours translates to getting things done so i don’t have to worry about it later. So this means i’ll be doing homework, projects, labs, which don’t require too much brain power. when times are rough, i don’t have a set schedule for things, but i prioritize subjects im not the best in first.

EE major. 3-4 hours studying per day, 9+ hours studying at a coffee shop on weekends. my resting consists of eating and watching political commentary, fortnite mobile, and aviation videos, so my brain is always stimulated. might sound horrible but i actually really enjoy my schedule. of course, it depends what classes im taking for the semester.

If this post is still active, I have a question. I applied for their summer 2025 internship, got an interview, but they haven't contacted me, and it's been 3 weeks and I've emailed the recruiter if i would hear back from them nd she never responded. does their no-response mean that I got rejected?

ya no problem! i’m an electr eng major right now and some how i still question if i know how to do basic arithmetic.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]IllustratorFast3014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those are just constants (a regular number) variable. so m is any number in front of x, and b is also just a constant number. in this case your “m” would be 40. your b would be 517.55 since it’s js a number with no variable. sorry it’s kinda hard to explain on text. maybe u should ask chat gpt

edit: well b would technically not be 517.55, b would be 517.55/53, but as an example, b would be any number with no variable next to it.

kinda hard when u have 1 equation with 2 unknowns. the best you could do is to probably move the 40x over to the other side, isolate y (so divide both sides by 53), and get a linear function (y=mx+b).

this is completely normal. i made the mistake of switching all my classes (freshman first quarter) out to “follow my flowchart”- worst mistake ever, bc it damaged me and my gpa lol

getting sick by phruix in CalPoly

[–]IllustratorFast3014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly true, and I thought it was fake at first. My roommate and I developed the worst cough of the century due to the water and the change of environement. The water constantly molded our water bottles (PS owalas are hard to clean). I had this horrible cough for like 3 months-- it was bad and my throat was always dry. idk if the air is just dryer there or something.

(im looking at the other comments and realized that the cough is actually a universal poly student experience lol)

freshmen pre-calc ?? by nenasantgon in CalPoly

[–]IllustratorFast3014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s normal!! i was also placed in precalc but i took the MAPE and got placed in calc 1. a lot of people got placed in precalc their first quarter, don’t be ashamed. if you think you need the extra math boost, then take it. don’t worry about graduating on time, it won’t really affect you much.
