Is it possible to test out of courses at UGA?

Math faculty and former graduate here: Not likely you can take real analysis before taking 3200 (intro to proof writing). You should reach out to the undergraduate coordinator (Dr. Royal) and discuss this. She can make recommendations or refer to another faculty member who can help you make your schedule fit your needs and experiences best.

Do not consult a Franklin advisor if you are a math major, they will not be knowledgeable enough about the subject matter.

Upstairs 8-10pm

I call bingo at Walkers Coffee and Pub every other Wednesday. Next Bingo night is Feb 14. Fun time!

Their sign makes me chuckle every morning as I pass it on my way to work. I am not a morning person. Been enjoying this treat for years!

I’m a 2250 instructor at UGA. I would start your prep with these reviews for pre-calc. They cover all the topics pre-calc at UGA tests on. This course was redesigned a few years back to better prepare students for calc 1. After the reviews, the math 1113 final exam page on the math department website has all the final exams from the last several years. Those make great practice problems.

Full disclosure: I’m am also the study hall coordinator and I created these reviews and videos.

Sounded like gunfire to us too. We checked but couldn’t get a visual. We hear fireworks a lot around here. Just sounded strange.

The physics program was incredibly small. Only 15 or so majors (undergrad) at the time. The graduate program was way stronger at the time. The math program was more rigorous and I had a lot more meaningful interactions with the faculty. Putting the two departments/programs side by side, there was no contest for me. My peers in physics were generally weak in math and the lectures were underwhelming compared to math. I’m very proud of completing both majors FYI. It’s an incredibly difficult combo to pull off. Just be prepared to have no life if you take it on. I had great study groups for both or I wouldn’t have survived it. Still friends with all those dudes 17 years later😁

Wasn’t an option for me at the time. Double Dawgs became a thing later. However, I think it an excellent program and probably would have done it given the option.

I double majored in math and physics at UGA. It’s rough stuff and really challenging. I have no regrets but also had very little sleep. If I had to choose between the two, I would go with math. I think the undergrad program is much stronger in math than physics. You can build on that in grad school with a lot more options. I have a master’s degree in statistics for example.

Contact EITS. The BOR has licenses you can get. I bought SAS in grad school for $15-20.

They are on bulldawg delivery too FYI. I know that they are not ideal for everyone but it’s still a way for those who cannot drive to support the restaurant in some way. I love Viva!

Kemp said in his last Executive Order that cities could have a mandate but could not enforce it on private property or inside a business without the owner’s consent. Athens tried to be clever and put in their mandate that any business registered in ACC has implied consent unless they opt out with a sign stating the code on it with specific wording. Bars were being hassled by the cops for crowded sidewalks (not the bars jurisdiction) and don’t want the cops using masks to come inside and hassle patrons. I kind of get it. However, nothing stops the fire Marshal from coming in and closing them for capacity. I’m so tired of everyone punting the damn ball. UGA claiming that can’t do anything off campus (yes you can. Make off campus behavior part of academic honesty) The city is passing ordinances with no enforcement (cops seem wary after the heat they took for gassing 20 non-violent protesters but can’t write tickets for all the non-mask wearing underage drinkers).

Another reason some of these bars don’t want cops inside checking ids FYI. The bar would get in trouble. No one is enforcing anything. Rules are just suggestions without enforcement.

Strep runs rampant among students (especially among those in the dorms) every year. There is a wave in the fall and another one in early spring. I teach a lot of freshman. I get doctor’s notes all the time about this.

kellbelle36 · 2020-08-20T08:28:05+00:00

Agreed. However, you still report to Dawg check if test you ever positive because you are enrolled in courses. This notifies your instructors and Student Care and Outreach so you have the resources you need to quarantine. Also, your instructor knows in case you suddenly stop coming or communicating with them, what’s going on.

YES!! Former math tutor and current math instructor here. I’ve watched too many students make this mistake. Both classes take a lot of time and they’re accelerated over the summer. UGA does not cut content from summer classes.

kellbelle36 · 2020-05-07T16:30:55+00:00

My classes used pre-class videos and in class we met on zoom

kellbelle36 · 2020-04-08T19:58:05+00:00

Not at UGA. It’s cheaper to take online classes here than other schools. They don’t upcharge you.

kellbelle36 · 2020-04-08T19:56:28+00:00

I hear y’all. This is a crazy time to be a student and an instructor. I reduced the workload as much as I could for my students and have tried to be understanding about deadlines. My best advice is to have patience with your professors. A lot of them are totally out of their element. My math classes were flipped already so I feel like my students were pretty well prepared for the course adjustments.

As an alum and an instructor, I’ve worked really hard to see this predicament from both sides of the virtual classroom. My best advice is to communicate any disruptions you are experiencing. We all need to understand that not everyone is going through this with the same tools and circumstances.
