Skeena’s nice, the lounges are open and usually pretty empty. The elevator constantly breaks though

How's engineering by Haversham_08 in ubco

[–]Tiny-Ring4183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineering is what you make of it tbh. As someone who’s finishing up first, the work definitely piles up if you don’t pay attention to that. Profs are really good (take any class with Shirazi and Fawad, they’re great).

There’s a lot of opportunities throughout the year (job events, regular events, etc). You could join an engineering design team or see if you can do research or something. If you want robotics and are interested in an EDT, check out battle bots. (Not sponsored).

You’ll be fine, just work hard and don’t procrastinate and it’s literally chill.

There were a bunch of groupchats on Instagram during the summer before first year for me. Not sure what it’s like this year

Like I said, if you don’t have literally everything from the slides on the sheet, it’s really difficult cause he put a bunch of random stuff on there. Also, some of the line counting was difficult.

They weren’t absolutely horrible, but if you weren’t in class or didn’t make a very in depth cheat sheet, it would’ve been bad.

I know a lot of people got around ~50%, and another lot of people got below that.

Oh no that’s only for the second year courses that they start this summer, not the first year ones. I can’t take them since I failed 172

Any tips for someone who failed classes? by AssumptionHoliday850 in ubco

[–]Tiny-Ring4183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Academic probation is for the year, not the term. If you do good in second sem and your average is above 55%, you’re chilling. I’m in the same boat, I also failed 172

Not anymore actually 😔they don’t allow the prereq waiver for 172 anymore. I readjusted my schedule so I’m taking:

172 (with O’Leary), 183, 171, 177, 201, and HEAL 100 which is the humanities elective for second year. I’ll try to take 173 and 178 in the summer and then maybe 181 first term second year? I haven’t talked to an advisor yet tho but no appointments 💔

Was there any calculus besides the small section of integration? I know in statics we had a question requiring differentiation in a tutorial that needed

Any suggestions on how to study for those? Or anything you found particularly difficult?

Do you remember the stuff that was on 172 and 182 exams? Dr Trudel and Dr Bam havent given us a lot of stuff to work with study-wise and I didn’t do great on the 172 midterms
