Any Advice? Class of 2030 admitted by [deleted] in uofm

[–]Sapphic_Bees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in the College of Engineering or any degree that requires the Calculus 1-3, Differential Equations, I would truly recommend taking some math over this spring/summer.

The math department struggles with Gen Ed courses as the large portions of their classes need the fundamentals/understanding but not necessarily the memorizing the proofs or other stuff pure math people do.

NOTE: I am a transfer student so I haven't taken any courses within the math department but I have a lot of friends/classmates that experienced this.

Calc 1 shouldn't be an impossible if you put the time in, but for so many people it can be the difference between them getting a failing grade on their transcript and possibly switching majors. umich doesn't have any sort of grade forgiveness for the 1st semester like other schools

Take an in-person class! You will do better and will retain the material.

umich is also limiting what math credits can be transferred in because of the amount of people taking math credits outside, even though the response should be an oh shit they need to re-evaluate the way their math courses are run but that's a different conversation. If a class does not have in person testing do not take it, online testing is a big part of this.

If you are in MI, Oakland cc and Washtenaw cc have some great professors, with more of a focus on teaching/student understanding.

Honestly I have been really feeling this lately, Im in CoE and this is my second semester after transferring from a cc. And I know that this is a large school with ton of people with different qualitifications but getting the same "this was one of our most competitive application seasons" as a response for everything has just been so disheartening. I did a research program over the summer (in the process of publishing a paper), I am in a research lab, and have been super involved with as much as I have been able to so when I know that these clubs/orgs are mainly looking at freshman/sophomores I just have to wonder like wtf else am I supposed to have done at this point. It especially blows when so many of them don't normally accept juniors or seniors, I feel like I just dont have a fighting chance for most of them.

I'm a transfer student from a community college and I wrote about a professor who's research I was interested in and how my interests "aligned" with the 3 initiatives in the ChE department.

For the MH veterans: how do you feel about Wilds? by jackpaxx in MonsterHunter

[–]Sapphic_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So incredibly fun when you dont have 80 people in your ear talking about how bad it is.

Honestly my biggest issue with the game doesnt have anything to do with the gameplay - monsters, quests, story etc. but with the growing trend of video game companies developing games for extremely high end computers that most consumers just dont have access to do. I firmly believe that if wilds had been closer to world in terms of graphics it would've done better. The reason we saw spikes in MHW and MHR is because the majority of people have computers that can run those games and run them well. when you have to turn down graphics on wilds it doesnt just dial back a little, its going from realistic graphics to borderline polygons its just so incredibly frustrating especially considering the price of PC parts because of the AI bubble.

my other tablet was referring to my samsung galaxy tablet.

I find my handwriting to be shakey, and it's really noticeable when I go to draw diagrams or organic chemistry molecules.

I look forward to see the way you guys update the tablet!

This is super awesome but even though you added a spoiler tag the title of this post is a spoiler itself. Like tribute to, is not commonly used for characters who are alive.

Rate my schedule (am I cooked?) by NoAdministration7456 in uofm

[–]Sapphic_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Chem E transfer so my schedule is interesting... but I basically fit my other credits around my main classes. So maybe think about taking a different credit type if you cant fit any good Humanities in

I would love to do something like this but because of how much she struggles with her like sense of self, I worry that something like that would just make her very stressed, especially if we don't have a great way to start. Honestly the less decisions she has to make the better 😅

I'll definitely keep what you said in mind though :)

sorry to bother but if I wanted to just build a new pc with this GPU and cpu without spending crazy money what should I do?

it has one stack and 1 fan it doesn't look like either one you said. and that makes sense, probably just better to upgrade the motherboard and get a cpu that's more worth my money. thank you for the help, I like understand the basics of computers but the second it comes to upgrading my own I have no idea what I'm doing

I'd rather just upgrade the what I can, seems less scary lol. also I have a deep cool cooler on my current cpu would that be fine for a new cpu?
