I didn't really. I learned how to not read anything except what was needed for my exams/assignments and don't felt like I learned anything the second half of the semester.

pass/fail?

>> No.11654583

>>11654565
Yeah, i chose to do pass/fail for it so it wouldn't tank my GPA. My GPA would've dropped 0.25 if I didn't have that option.

what calc did you just take

>> No.11654638

>>11654631
calc 1. Limits and derivatives were mostly fine, but then coronavirus hit right before we started integrals so all the area and other shit I didn't understand.

>> No.11654642

>>11654638
Okay where did you end off with this sem? I'm assuming you're going into calc 2?

Yeah, I'm going to Calc 2 next. We had just finished derivatives and were going into integrals after spring break (which was extended due to coronavirus)

We did chapters 1 and 2 before Spring Break. Sections 3.1-3.7, all of chapter 4, and 7.1-7.4 were after the break.

>> No.11654768

>>11654734
you'll most likely go over that chapter 7 stuff in calc 2, so you shouldn't worry about it too much. I would suggest getting a good grasp on U-Sub and Trig if you don't already but other than that you'll be fine

>> No.11654932

op you bitch you have all summer to study up for calc 2. stop bitching on this shit board and open that book

>> No.11654933

>>11654768
Thanks. Do you have any recommended tools/sites for getting problems and walking things through?

The main problem I had in the second half was that in a classroom setting if something didn't make sense at first, you could work through it with others and fill in the gaps. That was lost during the remote learning, which is why I took a physical class in the first place.

I was thinking about doing something like wolframalpha's problem generators to get more practice in

forget that 750 page tome and spend a week working through this: https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/CalcI.aspx
if you're skipping out on understanding because you're trying to save time it will hurt you badly later on

>> No.11655079

>>11655002
For some reason they don't have https enabled, so it's just http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/CalcI.aspx

I will go through the practice problems and redo the notes if I have trouble with anything. Thanks anon

Same thing with the work ethic/concentration ability. I would just stare at the pages/rewatch the videos and not get it. I was taking 5 classes and got As in all the other ones just because they were kinda BS classes (programming, English, etc) so I took the letter grades on those

Just understand the meta and basic fundamentals and you'll be fine. You'll never be in a situation where you can't look shit up. Verified by an Electrical Engineering who graduated undergrade with a 2.8 and still went on to be a PhD candidate.
