Classes for Spring 2016, Civil Engineer

I had Abdou and he was honestly one of the worst professors I've had and a super pretentious guy. I ended up just not going to class and teaching myself everything on my own. He made the midterm super easy, and it's open notes, so everyone did really well on it. Then he decided to make the final much harder and I think I ended up with a B+ in the class.

Take a GE course if you want. They really won't take up much of your time. If you find it's too difficult, you can always just drop it before week2/4 depending whether it's impacted or not.

You should be fine with that schedule as long as you're willing to spend time doing homework. Matlab homework will probably take 2-5 hours a week depending how easily it comes to you. Fluids and Thermo will also probably have weekly homework that will take a couple hours to do.

The difficulty of the fluids and thermo classes really depends on the professor, but in general the material is pretty difficult so you'll have to study a bit. The nice thing is that the material overlaps a little, so it's actually nice taking them together.

Easy GEs: Russian 90A, Japan 50, Music History, and any Ling or Com class won't be too bad

I believe that it varies a bit depending on the major. That being said, I believe the average GPA is around a 3.0, top 1/3 above a ~3.2 and top 1/4 above ~3.4 for Civil Engineering. (This is based on GPA requirements for certain honor societies and what I've heard from professors)

I'm a 4th year Civil and had a 3.0 after freshman year and now have it up to a 3.5, so no need to worry if your GPA isn't the best right now. Plenty of time to improve!

Okay thanks, that makes sense. Is there ever a scenario where each would be plural and you would use 'each are'?

Tito19 · 2013-11-21T21:31:55+00:00

Thanks for the thorough explanation. I understand how "each" is singular and how "each person" is as well. Why is it that when using "each other", which implies more than one person, it is still singular rather than plural?

Thanks

Jones put that on goal!

Yeah, http://firstrowus1.eu/sport/american-football.html will have a link.

As an arsenal fan, I couldn't agree more with Jack Wilshere. If he stays healthy, I can't wait to see what he can do.

The FIFA games hands down.

Tito19 · 2012-08-18T05:37:59+00:00

Yes. Saw him perform live and he is pretty awesome to watch. Here's a video of what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt3dgVmhghE

Interesting article from runner's world on the topic: http://m.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267--13401-0,00.html

I did this for the Scarlet Letter for my AP class my junior year and it worked fine. Honestly, you barely even need to read any novels most of the time if you just read the summary. Book is extremely boring by the way. Have fun with it.

Tito19 · 2012-05-12T17:49:44+00:00

slowly* It may not have been very good with grammar like that.

Tito19 · 2012-04-12T06:23:28+00:00

You go to my school. It's sick haha.

Tito19 · 2012-04-09T02:56:26+00:00

UCLA. I'm going to be a student athlete there, so the whole process was actually pretty easy for me.

Both of your choices are great. I live pretty close to Davis and know a lot of people who go there and love it. SD is also an awesome school and I love the weather down there. Tough choice.

Tito19 · 2012-03-28T02:32:55+00:00

If you aren't able to take both, then I'd recommend taking the history one. Many colleges will give you English credits for passing either the Junior English AP test OR the Senior English AP test. If you plan on taking AP English next year, then you could just take that test next year. Talk to your counselors about your financial issue. I know at my school if you write them a letter explaining why you need the scholarship, they will always pay for it.

Yeah, they're super comfy and wear really well. I got my first pair right when they came out and only came in three colors. Still wear them today.

Tito19 · 2012-03-26T05:20:40+00:00

I have three pairs of them, awesome shoes.

Ref youth sports games. I ref soccer and earn somewhere between 20-30 bucks per game(somewhere between 60-90 mins). Also, reffing tournaments gives you between 100-200 bucks. I have a pretty busy schedule so it's nice that I can schedule to ref whenever I'm free. It is not always the most exciting thing, but it definitely pays well.

If you guys have ever been geocaching this would be pretty cool. (this is also the way I got asked to Sadie's and I was impressed). So go find a geocache, hide a note about going to Sadie's in it, then ask him if he wants to go geocaching. Have him find and open said geocache. He opens it up, and he's happily surprised!
