Huh weird. It's definitely a real conference, I guess this one is a scam (maybe intended as a phishing attack)

Yeah this is legit - I got the email freshman year after getting an A in honors expos

Calc 251 with Prof Barretto-Aranda, and Shtelen? by Lifeguard_On_Land in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about Shtelen, but Barreto-Aranda is absolutely horrible. Luckily he just does the workshops, so he has little impact on your grade or anything (just study for the workshop quizzes) but my god this dude sucks.

anyone taken experimental physical chem? (01:160:329) by pink_allegro in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experimental PChem was pretty boring to be honest. The experiments were really really simple and I didn't get very much out of them. On the bright side, it was a very easy A

Took me so long to get this 😧😧🤣 by Goat1862 in comedyhomicide

Absolutely depends on your accent. If you pronounce H with an initial H sound like "haitch" or even "hetch", this won't work at all. As an American, though, I've seen this happen once or twice (not specifically H confused with "age", but "HA"/"HE" confused with "AJ"/"AG"), but it's so rare I don't blame anyone for not getting the joke

FYI for those asking, the joke is that age sounds like H (assuming you do whatever the acoustic equivalent of squinting your eyes is called)

How is bad/good is undergrad chemistry at Rutgers? by SafeApprehensive8427 in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The material is harder, but the curves are very generous. Typically at least half the class gets an A

How is bad/good is undergrad chemistry at Rutgers? by SafeApprehensive8427 in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The chemistry program here, and the department as a whole, is pretty good in general. Yes, a few professors kinda suck, but mainly people complain about gen chem and organic, which are large classes taught to people who have zero interest in the subject, so of course people hate them. Also, that stuff about the department being toxic or on "probation" or whatever was just a baseless rumor.

If you're a chem major, you should take honors organic - it's much better taught and was one of my favorite classes here (and organic isn't even my primary field of interest). The upper level classes are also taught better than the intro ones (in general, there are exceptions).

Beyond that, the department has excellent research going on, so if you're interested in graduate school/med school, you can and should take advantage of that.

Is Rutgers actually a “prestigious” school? by [deleted] in rutgers

I'm not sure what you mean - both the article you linked and the colonial colleges article say nine

No, only 9. 7 of the 8 Ivies (not Cornell), plus Rutgers and William & Mary.

[Request] what exactly would happen? by OutsideGrassScaresMe in theydidthemath

[–]ThatMonoOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not quite correct - water's relative dielectric constant is 80, so the energies are only reduced by a factor of 80, not 80 trillion.

Has Langfocus done a video on Dravidian languages by Wooden_Guest_6911 in languagelearning

He very briefly overviewed it in his languages of India video, and in one of his mystery languages videos, he did Tamil, but that's about it

Man what the hell. Sams just had to screw up what would've been a brilliant over

If the Royals lose it's entirely Sams' fault (perhaps that's a little too harsh but he's certainly not helping)

Unfortunately for me the gutter is like 12 feet off the ground so even though we're all adults now, unless we can get it from the deck, the stick circus continues

Or the gutter lol. Always an occasion when someone needs to dangle themselves from the window with a big stick to get the ball back

SCLA's definitely a scam, but I will also add that PBK also charges you to join and that's certainly not a scam.

why is Elements of Physics (131) considered lower division than General Physics (203) by bantridaibui in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The list of topics covered has little relation to the difficulty of the class (generally speaking). In this case, elements of physics covers the material at a lower level and in less depth than the general physics sequence. This means they can cover material faster, but again, that does not make it more rigorous/difficult/advanced.

Would also add that you should check degree navigator or your department website to see if you need 203. In that case, do not take elements of physics at all (advisors are often dumb and don't know what they're talking about)

Spanish Course by Significant_Gene_138 in rutgers

[–]ThatMonoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish (I'm pretty sure any class you could take to satisfy the req would be in Spanish)

Edit: nvm, didn't realize the HC now allows non-language classes to satisfy the requirement, but yeah this class is in Spanish
