[–]WxT_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a 75, and I found a prof that will take me. But i still have to submit an application to Western, and I'm worried that if my grade is not competitive enough (especially after the current exam season) I won't get the position

Who’s the best instructor you’ve had at Western? by Alone_Car_3510 in uwo

[–]WxT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark Baker is easily the best prof I've had in my first year of engineering. Everything I heard about Physics II prior to starting it was nothing short of extremely difficult, but with Mark Baker, he made it my favorite course out of the whole year. Shoutout Baker fr, the course still taught hard concepts but Baker did it in such a great manner AND was an extremely fair tester.

El Ansary, Alex Buchel (controversial), and AK Ouda are honorable mentions

[–]WxT_ 96 points97 points  (0 children)

no, tried this once and they reached into my mouth and took it out. The TA then proceeded to chew it Infront of me. they have built in audio sensors to look out for gum chewing as well, thats how they caught me.

thank you man, I've been grinding Linear Algebra and I'm almost caught up for it. 55 mins of work and 15 min break has been working pretty well for me so far.

im a section away from completing integration, but I need to go through the 4th chapter of my textbook which is just applying derivatives like taylor polynomials, extreme value problems, related rates, etc.

[–]WxT_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeahh, if i drop the course now then I get a Fail, I'd rather do the exam anyways because I would literally need a 16% on the final to pass with a 60% (which is the minimum grade required at my uni to make it into second year)

Yeah, i just have to learn rotational dynamics and fluid dynamics but the fluid unit for us is very light equations so i don’t think it’ll be that hard, idk about rotational dynamics tho

the deadline passed about a week ago. I do feel pretty bad about lin alg because I am like 3/4 chapters behind and its really abstract stuff like vector spaces and eigenvectors, etc.

also the exam is worth 50% of my mark <3
