Fucking
WHY?
Where the fuck are you going? Nigga you failed fucking Mechanics and got an A for it.

Everything that could've gone wrong this semester did go wrong, and it was probably the most difficult one I've had on top of that. Got sick the week before three of my classes had exams, got sick again towards finals, my spanish prof had a hernia or something and everyone but a few people that I liked got really pissy after she was replaced.

3.5 at a CC isn't life ending, is it?

How to tell when someone is struggling to find validity in their work.
>Without me, you wouldn't have _____!

My house is 60 fucking years old. It's a structure of wood, drywall, and insulation.
Do you think people just got by without roads and fucking houses before civil engineering was a goddamn degree? Goddamn.

You guys are silly.

>But you should take at least chem 2 minimum for a physics degree or engineering degree.
Fucking WHY?
I'm wrapping up Chem I. This shit is trivial and just reaffirms things that I learned in physics in simplified ways. Sure, there's a bit of fun to it. I enjoy the class, but I don't enjoy how much focus I am being made to put on trivia that I will never fucking need while I have shit that's actually difficult that I should be focusing on.
I'm comp sci, for god's sake. What the fuck even?

>i always had the idea that most professors were arrogant or just straight up not giving a shit.
I think it's a defense mechanism. Students in American Unis are immature. My last physics III exam (CC, so unweighted) got a 69% average. 5 students started debating and arguing over whether or not certain questions were fair.
Physics and Math are the only subjects where you have to 'think.' No one in college likes to be told that they're bad at thinking.

The majority of the people in this thread are using the exterior angle theorem and then boasting about being able to plug numbers into a formula that someone else thought up. Kind of makes me wonder about how many of you have any schooling past high school.

For starters, not every high school will even teach you the exterior angle theorem or insist you memorize it, and if you're an American, you might not even need trig at all to graduate.

An actual construction of the answer from pure trigonometry and reasoning takes a bit of thought (unless you just memorized the fucking proof for external angles), and most STEM students, that I know at least, can appreciate that, because there was a time where they weren't able to do it either.

Of course, I don't think I'd bar this from being on an exam. It's fair.
