I bought a chicken shawarma for lunch today and asked for extra garlic sauce and extra onions on it. I sometimes wonder if people can smell it on my breath.

I'm really wondering who told these people in highschool that it'd be a good idea to study engineering in uni

>>10944879
To be fair, if they're planning to do civil or software engineering, chemistry is not super important but, at least around here, universities have retarded standards (I think it has something to do with accreditation) that if the major title contains the word 'engineering' you need fulfill certain requirements including taking courses in chemistry and some other things. It's idiotic because, for example, if you're studying software engineering you will actually never ever fucking use chemistry and you obviously picked the major not because you were planning to study chemistry.

Sorry, I'm getting a little defensive here because I myself haven't fulfilled my chemistry requirement for my physics major and I'm kind of procrastinating on it (maybe I'll do it this summer) because I didn't take grade 12 chemistry in high school and it has been a long time since high school for me also, and thus I legit see myself as one of the useless people during lab. I'm generally not competent in labs desu.

>>10944587
I've never had this experience. Worst was this one kid who kept asking for trivial clarification and sometimes making "I'm so smart" remarks, and everyone (including the professor usually) hated him.
Not saying I don't believe your story, but it's definitely not always like that. Currently doing a phd (different institute) and I've not experienced anything similar either. You just got the autistic lot I suppose.

>>10944587
>>10944899
How are these people ever going to learn? They're going to keep on this way their whole lives. They have no reason not to. Everything has worked for them thus far.

I'm in entry level math class (College Algebra) and the same thing is happening there. Only difference is I'm 99% sure he has some kind of personality disorder (autism, etc). I was talking to the girl next to me and she said she's actually going to talk to the professor because he's slowing everything down

>>10944977
girls are the best at talking to professors. fact. and postdocs too; please send your undergrad female classmates to talk to the postdoc :3

>>10944673
>look at how smart i am i can use a python library

what f****** me up is the MIT opencourseware quantum physics 1 the teacher kept asking for the class is opinion on what they think would happen is just a goddamn waste of time it's either right or wrong why doesn't he just say

I had the same experience. It seems MP attracts all wanna-be Nobelists.

I'm not sure when American schools teach classical mechanics but that's universally taught year 1 in the UK and it's the true brainlet filter, it's what gets rid of everyone who took physics becuase of the big bang theory

Yes. At least be patient until you get to upper division/non introductory courses.

Unless you are a pure physics major or in grad school you pretty much dont take it

I was the know it all kid in highscool and I want to die. I keep my mouth shut now in Uni unless I have something important to say

>he still thinks uni rankings are anything but a Chinese plot to decide which cities to swarm next
Top unis are absolutely full of retards. The fact they got lucky on their SAT or have never heard of the great Tienanmen protests of 1989 doesn't make them smart. To have said something this retarded, I'm assuming you're one of them.

>>10944894
I agree that not every STEM major should require chemistry (similar to how engineers are required to take econ at a lot of schools for no good reason. I think it's meant to be a retard filter to prevent people who can't comprehend dimensional analysis from entering higher level classes
>>10946250
Out of curiosity, how on earth did he think that either there were 1000 centimeters in a meter or that 100^3 equals 1000?

>>10946217
At my uni we take a general physics course in first year and then specialized calculus-based courses in E&M, optics, classical mechanics, and relativity in the 2nd year. Apparently my uni (Canadian not American but same shit) has somewhat noteworthy physics and space engineering programs as the institution and some of the faculty have been involved in building the Canadarm or something.

>>10946353
Actually, I had a math major in one of my classes. I think he was an upper year student trying to fill his general science requirement for his BSc. He was overweight and wore undersized sweaters that didn't fully cover his gut. Every class, he would sit in the front row and sleep. As a result, his already undersized shirt would be halfway up his back and his asscrack was prominently visible. I didn't see him after our first exam (it was a two semester course) so I assume he dropped.

>Out of curiosity, how on earth did he think that either there were 1000 centimeters in a meter or that 100^3 equals 1000?
Beats me. He was the kinda guy that would wear those "I'd rather be playing video games" shirts or superhero merch from walmart.

>>10946322
>1000 centimeters in a meter
That's pretty stupid
>>10946374

>>10946250
I would've assumed 100 as well at first glance, but 100^3 obv makes more sense after 1 second of thought

>>10945552
Probably to have them exercise critical thinking.

>>10945552
How did you answer the questions?

>>10945552
they're trying to get you to think, you know the thing you go to university for

>>10944587
Ya mostly they're mostly EXTREME nerds, anon, and in the annoying, snobby and stuck way as well. It's a little depressing sometimes to be amongst them.

Popsci really fucks people up

>>10946440
He watched Richter and Mortison so he obviously was too smart for college.

>>10946462
He actually did watch the show sadly. The guy knew that he wasn't cut out to a physicist so he probably is smarter than most of the "I fucking love science crowd" honestly

>>10944587

>'yay science' kid is furious about being corrected and spends like 15 minutes whining about it after class.

college kids are actual fucking retards.

>>10944879
that was my entire gen chem 2 experience. Me and a 27 year old asian guy did 100% of the lab work because our partners were a nursing student who couldn't care less about the class and a retard who was high every single time he came into lab. The stoner routinely had to be stopped from pouring waste chemicals down the drain.

>>10946552
I wouldn't care that they didn't know anything if they weren't so disruptive. Asking for you to dictate every number instead of showing them the chart at the end, asking you to do calculations for them, complaining about the class, complaining about the professor, etc.

>>10946354
I always find this odd. It's my opinion, of course, but the calculus oriented ones are what really train you to become a physicist. Any old retard can learn and apply equations but mechanics and a few others exist to really teach you how to derive them yourself, which is why I like having it taught in the first year.
Also according to some YouTuber Americans (no idea about Canada) don't even learn calc 3 unless they minor in maths. Really?

>>10946586
We learn calculus 3 (multivariate/vector calc) and differential equations at my uni and I believe it is standard. However, for a math minor my uni has different math courses that are more proof based whereas the physics major itself only requires math 'applied' math courses or those suffixed by 'for scientists and engineers'.

>>10946627
>multivariate/vector calc
That's part of Calc II here. There is no Calc III

>>10944587
Who cares?

You don't need to be a physicist to see the issue
