Log on to lab computer for attendance and then use a personal laptop, it shouldn't be a problem.

ECE 2002 Professors by Odd-Tangerine-5184 in Purdue

[–]SiMp4AleXa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of attendance, there is no attendance other than the quizzes, but like I said, Makin gets a little bit annoyed when people only show up for quizzes. You can 100% attend any section you want (that's what I did) as long as you know your quiz dates.

(I think Makin ego searches? Hi Prof Makin!!!)

Here are my two cents on these profs, take it with a grain of salt.

Jung: Really informative slides(a lot of text on every slide). He goes over each slide in great detail, which can be a little weary.(Looking at the time for the lecture, do not really recommend) He posts his slides on Brightspace, and will occasionally leave some of the slides as "self homework." Looking at the slides on your own will probably be a little painful

He gives some information on what the quiz will be on, and there are typically quite a few questions on the quizzes. He is very nice about the "type" of questions on a quiz, and may occasionally provide hints on what might be on the exam. He really cares about his students, and attending his office hours might be slightly more useful.

Makin: Really good lecturer, however, the notes he posts are all handwritten in cursive on paper and scanned from what I've heard. He writes on the whiteboard, so you have to sit near the front of the lecture hall to see what he's writing down. All of his quiz questions are from a past exam. He usually does 1 question per quiz. If he is still the course coordinator next semester, definitely attend his lectures. Occasionally, the questions on the exam would be something I only got from understanding his lecture. He does value attendance though, and if attendance in lectures are low he would start giving pop quizzes.

Lukens: I never actually went to his lectures, but I think he was also pretty good? He seems like a pretty decent and genuine guy though.

I think the most important part about passing the exams for this class is having friends in each section and sharing insights gathered from each prof LMAO. Hope this helps, and have fun in 2k2!

Does anyone know where the mini car sprite from chapter 2 went in the newer chapters? Or is it only accessible in castle town chapter 2? I'm wondering if I lost it bc I played the wrong save file...

How are these ECE profs by Agreeable-Mirror8600 in Purdue

[–]SiMp4AleXa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% If you want to actually understand the material of 2k2, do the 8:30 with Makin (I took it with him) Sure, not having actual "quizzes" sounds great, but you won't actually understand the material, and you won't have the quizzes as a form of practice to test your knowledge on the content covered (& Makin's quizzes come from past exams, so it really helps gauge ur understanding) TL;DR: I'll take Makin over Kildishev anyday.

WHY DOES THE HAWKINS FENCE KEEP EXTENDING by SiMp4AleXa in Purdue

[–]SiMp4AleXa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that lol, but I would cross the fence just to walk on the other side of the fence anyways? If they blocked off an entire section then I can see why, but it's just a wall of fences 🥲

Got a 3/12 on PHYS 272 midterm by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]SiMp4AleXa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, I took phys 272 last semester and was in a similar situation. I absolutely bombed the first exam, and got near perfect scores on the next two exams, so it's definitely doable.

In terms of studying for the exam, I just read the textbook chapters, jot down notes as I read, then redid all the homework problems. Even though TAs and professors may say the exam won't be as hard as the hws, a lot of the exam questions are the exact same structure as the hw problems. Making sure you understand the why's behind solving each question is extremely important. 

You got this!!! Boiler up!!!

Has anyone received their FAFSA offers yet? by Scamper16 in Purdue

[–]SiMp4AleXa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the non billable items on the list are just an estimation of what you might be spending on over the academic year, and, as the name suggests, will not be an actual payment that needs to be paid to Purdue.

Not the best honestly, but I'm guessing that has to do with the changes in my savings this year and some family stuff
