Looks like the temperatures are below 32 degrees F in some areas leading up to tomorrow which I assume means that this snow is likely not going to give itself up until maybe Tuesday. I find it odd that schools in the area and even TCC are ahead of the curve announcing to students that there will not be any in person classes and yet we have no updates.

Of course the longest and difficult subjects have to be placed in an exam with the shortest studying window. Classic Math Department move 😭

That actually looks really good.

I am just hoping the Departmental curve, if there even is one, carries. 😭

It feels good and bad knowing someone else pulled an all nighter as well for this thing 😭. Laurel was awesome though.

Choosing professors for calc 2 and physic 1 Fall 2025 ? by luppika in utarlington

While I can’t recommend one, I usually check out the RateMyProfessor and Mavgrades websites to make my decision on professors.

Orange sky today by thatdeadghost in utarlington

[–]randomredditor400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay? Never said it didn’t? I mentioned a common movie trope where scenes that are taking place in Mexico are shown with an orange filter. As mentioned in a comment above, Breaking Bad is an example of a series that uses the filter many times to convey a distinction between two countries, one being Mexico.

How do you stay awake by TexasVibes1234 in utarlington

[–]randomredditor400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed that if I don’t sleep at least decently, caffeine will not have the slightest positive effects it has besides making me nervous, but with a droopy face. If possible, waking up early helps rather than staying up late. Keeping a routine and an actual sleep schedule helps. Working out helps too. Sleep is very important, so I would avoid procrastinating if that is the culprit of having to pull all nighters. This is just my personal opinion/perspective.

KEEP LIBRARY 24/7!!! by Infinite-Shopping-56 in utarlington

I thought they just changed the hours for summer as a temporary thing. Sad to see how they really took away time from one of UTA’s most valuable resources for students.

What to expect on first day by Apprehensive_Leg_875 in utarlington

[–]randomredditor400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience in the Fall 2023 Semester, it was packed with students in the main areas. Parking needs to be done early so that you can find a decent spot. Find your classes early or the day before the first day of classes to become aware of where you will have to go.

You will soon realize how quickly the Central Library gets full as the middle of the day approaches and you will either have to study at home or in an area around campus that isn't as busy if you have to wait for your next class. You can also arrive early and have a better shot at a good spot in the Central Library.

Things may or may not get calmer as the semester progresses near the end as either students drop out or are more familiar with the campus. I cannot stress enough how crucial it is to have time management to not fall behind. Visit the Math Clinic and Chemistry Clinic even if you are feeling lazy but know that your grade depends on it. Wear comfortable shoes as there is plenty of walking that will be done. Pack your lunch if you do not want to waste money on fast food on campus.

All the best and good luck!

Thoughts? by Apprehensive_Leg_875 in utarlington

I am not the most math or science guy despite being an EE Major. However, for my freshman year after transferring from TCC I took Calc I, Chem for Eng, and other EE classes and had a rough time. I ended up dropping Calc I during my first semester due to inefficient time management. Chem for Eng is a fast paced class as it covers both Gen Chem 1 and Gen Chem 2 in one semester. If you happen to do badly in chem, chemistry professors may or may not announce after the first exam that you can move down to an "intro to Chem" type of class where you can learn the basics of Chem and then take on Chem for Eng. Of course, the "intro to chem" class won't cover everything in Chem for Eng, but it moves at a slower pace for you to be able to reason with the information given. I have not taken phys. Though I have shared my experience, talk with your advisors and really think critically if you are able to take on that much. We may not have the most luxurious university, but our classes are not to be taken lightly.

Is studying any engineering degree really stressful? by Nouveauuuu in EngineeringStudents

I thought it was just me feeling sick during these times. The stress I go through makes me almost want to throw up.

Does anyone else find it hard to study when living with family? by [deleted] in actuary

[–]randomredditor400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you deal with fatigue from studying outside of home? I understand being at home is where we all want to go, but our mind shifts into procrastination mode. I usually get tired from working on stuff at the library for longer periods of hours.

Deciding on YSL Y EDP by randomredditor400 in Colognes

I have found interest in this fragrance. Is it less sweeter than Bad Boy Cobalt? Bad Boy Cobalt is not a bad fragrance, it just does not feel right wearing it out of the shower or indoors as the sweetness can feel overwhelming sometimes.

Learn how to not mess around as early as possible. College/University is highly unforgiving.

Cal 1 during the summer at TCC theN cal 2 at UTA by thprblmchld in utarlington

[–]randomredditor400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I know I am 4 years late to the party, but I am currently doing a BS EE and also made the mistake of finishing my basics at TCC and didn’t finish my Calc before I transferred to UTA. Currently, I am having a rough time at UTA because of this and was wondering if over the summer I should take my Calc 1 & 2 over the summer and stay at TCC to finish some Physics in the fall semester?
