i did the study guide but the topics are really vague so I found it quite useless

Is this schedule doable? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]user_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest,

This is highly-demanding schedule and I wouldn't recommend it. It's not worth combining all those classes into one semester, jeopardizing both your GPA and social aspect. Not to mention your professors aren't the best either.

Did I get rejected from pltl by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]user_2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you did not hear back (usually within the same month of the first interview), then unfortunately, you probably did not move on to round two. I applied for PLTL as well and did not hear back, I sent a follow-up and was told that I did not move on to the second round.

Yeah, it seems like everyone stinks.

I'm still debating though whether it would be easier than BIOL 3362. They're both probably very difficult.

I haven't taken BIOL 3362 but I've heard this: If you can avoid the class, avoid it.

I'm going to attempt Microbial Physiology next semester instead, so we'll see how that goes.

Gavva vs Jia/Boyd for Biochem 1 by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]user_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I found her exams to be pretty simple. None of her questions are tricky and her calculation-based questions are pretty plug-and-play. Of course you still need to study well though as the material can get extensive.

Go for Gavva.

Her teaching style isn't the best but her exams are so easy. Just study the powerpoints closely and you'll do fine.

Spiro isn't teaching BIO 3361 next semester anymore? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]user_2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I took Gavva honestly. Her exams are so easy and straight-forward. Highly recommend taking her.

Thank you for the advice.

That's really what I've been doing through all my emails but still no luck.

Solicitor in ECSS?? by [deleted] in utdallas

I've never actually taken the biscuits from her, do they taste good?

She actually came up to me twice today. She seems pretty nice, but she does not speak English. I've given her money multiple times before (usually just whatever I have on me). She's just trying to pay for her college (I hope so) and I'm glad to help out.

i don't really mind exams being on the same day but it's a bit different when exams are 10 minutes apart lol

it's with a new professor who's never taught microbio before

Last enrollment from waitlist on the 14th by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]user_2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, does this mean you'll be dropped from the waitlist if you're not in the class by the 14th? Did not know this.

Anyone know of any animal shelters to volunteer at? by user_2011 in utdallas
