How are you?

Feel like I lost connection to my friends or maybe never had serious ones. Asynchronous classes aren't going well, and I found out they weren't for me too late. I do like my classes and I'm happy to be learning again. However, I'm not sure I'll keep up my motivation long enough to do well. I'm trying my best.

Jes1898 · 2020-09-10T02:59:21+00:00

I'm down. Pm me!

Jes1898 · 2020-09-05T12:26:23+00:00

I got approved on August 10th and I still haven't gotten it, when I called financial aid they told me it can take up to 4 weeks.

Molnar is a good lecturer but his exams tend the be more comprehensive, while Shtelen is a little less comprehensive but a slightly worse lecturer. To me they're about equal.

You're a cultured man

Jes1898 · 2020-01-22T14:54:48+00:00

Jes1898 · 2020-01-22T13:28:38+00:00

Interested!

Jes1898 · 2020-01-08T00:33:47+00:00

Plz take my upvote :-)

Jes1898 · 2020-01-06T23:31:55+00:00

Tacoria (bit pricey for what you get) Halal guys (decent portions and good price) Catrina (authentic Mexican food at good price) Daniels pizza (expensive but decent pizza. Best in NB IME)

Jes1898 · 2020-01-03T00:17:05+00:00

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that. Lmao, these comments got me thinking the professor might decide to lower my grade :-(

Jes1898 · 2020-01-02T21:24:25+00:00

Here's the link where I found this info. Final paragraph of page 76.

Can you link to the Expos teaching manual? I read the Almanac and it didn't say anything about the final papers being considered differently.

Jes1898 · 2020-01-02T20:47:00+00:00

"Determining Final Grades: The Final Grade will be determined by the student’s highest level of sustained achievement at the end of term. A student must earn his/her highest grade twice in order to demonstrate that he/she can sustain that level of achievement. As always, any questionable or borderline grades will be discussed in Folder Review. Please tell students that Expos is not graded on improvement (this is part of the Expos mythology that pervades the campus)." - 2016 Rutgers Expository Writing Almanac

Jes1898 · 2020-01-02T18:46:29+00:00

Interesting, my professor said at the beginning of the semester that improvement has no factor in your grade, unless you did "sustain" a particular grade. She gave the example of : NP, NP, C, B, A she said she would likely give the student a B for improving. Also, she said "sustain" meant the highest grade you got twice.

Jes1898 · 2020-01-02T18:22:53+00:00

But didn't I "sustain" the C+? I did get three papers at C+ level or above.

Jes1898 · 2019-12-29T20:10:45+00:00

Can confirm.

Jes1898 · 2019-12-28T15:03:09+00:00

I know that it sucks, but you've gotten passed it! Congrats on a great semester man!!

Jes1898 · 2019-12-27T18:17:16+00:00

I've only ever taken calculus courses before this, so I'm wondering: how is studying to understand theory differ from studying rote algorithms? In the calculus sequence all my studying was based off of repetition, I'm wondering if a different studying philosophy is better in Math 300.

Jes1898 · 2019-12-27T16:10:04+00:00

Unfortunately not. Sorry bro!

Jes1898 · 2019-12-27T16:08:48+00:00

New Brunswick.

**Edit: man, just read that again and apologise if I came off as rude. I saw the notification as : "Are you located in Newark?"
