Meh.

Discrete time and circuits 3 should complement themselves nicely for you.

Take some time to research modern control schemes beyond circuits. Look into chemical processes and large scale control systems eg PIDs, MPC, Fuzzy, Statistical. Also look into how those are implemented (DCS/PLC/CDACs) etc..

Stay interested the courses should be fairly straight forward..

Cambridge, UK, the system is entirely different.

Look at an example exam paper:

http://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/pastpapers/2011/ii/PaperII_1.pdf

We do 4 papers which determine our entire degree grade.

How the exams work: answer as many fucking questions as you can in three hours, but make sure they are high quality answers too. Thus taking more courses=more choices of questions

4 exams, all like the one pposted. Each exam has one question per course (more or less)

We have computer projects but these don't really provide any significant marks.

Also, the marking system is complicated too, each answer we give gets a raw mark, and a quality mark, which is then fed into a formula to produce our overall mark.

We have homework sheets to do, but these are just to help us learn, and don't count anything to our grade.

Programming Practices (Basically an introduction to C and everything that goes along with it) - Very applied, second year course, required for major. Should be an easy A.
Calculus 2 - Shouldn't be too bad. I didn't do that great in Calculus 1 (B+), but that was mainly due to my terrible midterm mark (C+) and I understand everything a lot better now. Taking as an elective.
Statistics 2 - Hated stats 1, but I think I still did pretty well in it (still don't have my grade for it). Hopefully this is a little bit more interesting. Taking as an elective.
Introduction to Psychology Part B (Second half of a full year course) - Awesome, another half year of memorizing names for things that everyone already knows about (hopefully the second half is more interesting). Only taking this because its a per-requisite for a course that's recommended to have before taking a series of courses that are required for a few specialties within my major.

This is my second term of my freshman year. My major is computer science.

>>4192322

The first year is all basic science stuff, like pharmaceutics, rehashed biochem, fundamental pathophys, statistics, shit like that.

The second and third years are the meath of the stuff. The therapeutics course is a seven unit, four semester course that covers in-depth pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and actual therapeutics. It used to be that those were all separate courses, but the trend now is to integrate them.

Classes like pharmacokinetics and shit like that are stand-alone classes. This semester is the last didactic semester, so it's a pretty light load.
