ok so you have like a couple options i guess
what year are you? you can spam blowoff 1xx courses to boost your gpa if you're not too far in. even better if you can take them at a nearby community college and transfer them

other option is to get into grad school (masters/phd is a separate transcript from undergrad, even at the same institution). best way to do this is to convince a professor to let you work in their lab as an undergrad. you might get paid if you're exceptional, but offering to work for free or soliciting an independent study and assisting their grad students works too. then leverage the connections (and hopefully publications) you get here to get that GPA reset

The professor wasn't a socialist, but it was a very open class in terms of views. There were two democratic socialists, a Trotskyist and two free-market libertarians in the class and they were all content with the course. Everyone else was somewhere in between. We didn't have a textbook; the professor believed that a variety of primary and secondary sources would be more appropriate. The course didn't push a narrative at all, but wanted you to construct your own based on the readings. All in all, it was a very balanced class and I enjoyed it a lot.

[Anonymous No.9363933]

Software testing, analysis, and quality assurance: A or A- (depending on grade on final, still haven't gotten grades)
Human-computer interaction: A or A-, same as above
Data Structure Implementation and Analysis:F (gave up on this because im a fucking lazy quitter, I hate my life)

Next quarter classes:
Computer Organization(which is literally what the course title is, along with projects in x86 assembly)
Computer Networks(upper div network class)
Data Structure Implementation and Analysis(not excited for this again, different professor)
Computational Linear Algebra(Linear algebra for us retarded cs majors :DDD)

I can't answer for everyone, but my college gives a liberal arts education, so you need to take classes on certain subjects (one art, one history, one social science etc.) before graduating. Also, I think college is more than a preparation for my career; it's the best opportunity of my life to learn anything that interests me. What better time will you have to learn Japanese than in college? Especially with a student exchange to Japan.

Flagship school here, depends on the classes and professors. Some professors really don't care about having repeat students or your learning.

oh nice, yeah Irma threw a bunch of shit off schedule and while the week or so off was nice, everything after made me want to kms. Anatomy with Samsam was tough but doable, the curve saves you since the class average per test is like 50%. I used study guides posted in the facebook groups and memorized the nerve supply, muscle function, and clinical shit and was able to do well. Samsam used to be a neurologist so he loves questions with nerves in em. All in all, it was interesting but I'm glad im finally done with that shit lol

The Linear Algebra course I listed was proofs based, entirely theoretical, and more formal than the computational linear algebra required for just CS majors. Vector Calculus isn’t Calc 1,2,3 and I’ve already taken all of those. It’s also more formal, but I’m more comfortable with the ideas of calculus applied to vector spaces. Neither of those are necessary for a CS major. I’m in my 4th year right now, so all of those were 300-400 level courses and I’m well past the “intro” courses in both fields. Despite doing well in a Geometric Proofs course in a previous semester, I couldn’t grasp the concepts this time.

CC transfers seem to more frequently have work and other responsibilities, and are more likely to be a commuter student. So, they have to deal with more impediments than other students.

Apart from that, I don't honestly know what it could be. My CC experience turned me into a hard worker so I didn't have an adjustment issue at Uni. Commuting would be a pain if I didn't live 10 minutes away from the campus, though.

I have a bachelors in CS and I fucking hated Data Structures for two reasons:
1. I had a minor in math and was told I'd enjoy it if I liked linear algebra. I didn't because stuff was way too compiler dependent and hard as a bitch to test since these were small simulation systems with some degree of randomness instead of just input-output programs. I later had the same issues with Operating Systems because of threading.
2. Professor was a fucking dick and makes fun of me for being heavy set.

>Numerical Methods and Modeling: Distinction
I missed the high distinction by 1%.
Which really sucks because I know the course material perfectly, but I messed up the submission of the first assignment and was screwed.
>Project Management and Engineering Ethics: Distinction
A sad consequence of things beyond my control.
A huge portion of the unit grade comes from a major group project. We had a team of 7 people. Only myself and one other person contributed.
This wouldn't have been impossible, but they baited us, it wasn't until 2 days before submission that we realised that we had to write the whole thing ourselves.
>Analysis and Design of Machine Components: High Distinction
Could have gone either way, I believe I unfairly lost marks on the second assignment.

Overall frustrating semester.
The exam period was also kind of bad. All of my exams in a 3 day period, at the soonest possible time after classes cease.
What I learned from this is that I basically need to put more effort into mastering topics week by week.

isn't that incredibly trivial? if the trace is 0 then multiplying everything by a scalar won't affect shit, and if the trace is 0 then adding together two isn't gonna do shit either, so it's closed under addition and scalar multiplication. Then the other axioms are pretty trivial to verify as well since you know the coefficients are a field so they pretty much come naturally.

just because of exam pressure? or you couldn't even do it now if you tried?

anyway, if U is your "vector space", since [math]\mathscr{M}_{n,n}(R)[/math] is a vector space and [math]\emptyset\neq U\subset \mathscr{M}_{n,n}(R)[/math], you just need to show U is closed under matrix addition and scalar multiplication. both of these follow immediately from Trace being linear

It's not just an EU phenomenon. I go to a Latin American university and we don't bloat grades at all - often it's quite the contrary: this semester only 5 out of 26 people on my faculty passed a course on real analysis, myself included.

Most people on the thread probably go to private institutions that are degree expending machines first and centers of knowledge second.

It's just like this guy >>9367605 said
My math professor used to say that if you know everything that was given in the course, you get a B. For A you need to know much more than required.
All exams are oral, you get 3-4 questions, 30 min to prepare, and then they grill you for 1-2 hours.

I'm now doing an engineering PhD in the US, and I'm seriously shocked by the mediocrity of American education.

Self-study is important but you still need guidance. The syllabus tells you what you're responsible for, and the professor picks topics and readings based on what they think will make you understand what the class is about.

Or, do you think between lectures a bio student should just go Pubmed "Cancer" and start reading from the top?

Yeah, I spoke to the professor.
He significantly reduced the grade they received, from the assignment. I don't know by how much though.
Regardless of what it is it was too high, because I know they didn't get 0%.

It might have been enough to make them fail though.
Because you needed to know your major assignment to do half of the final exam.

I should add, the proffessor refused to increase the grade of myself and the one other member who contributed because:
>we were expected to be able to resolve group issues as part of the assignment, which you failed, so I can not increase your grade
>I didn't demonstrate that I know the material greater than what was in the assignment.

damn that sucks that he didn't increase your grade man :/.At least those lazy fucks got fucked over, hopefully. Fuck them.

Valuable lesson learned, if your group mates don't contribute to the project you gotta check those fools. If they don't listen, talk to the professor and tell them you don't want them working with you. You're an adult now and so are they, if they think they can get away with shit like that, you gotta show them shit doesn't work like that after you leave high school.

we have something called "transferleistung" in Germany. Basically i there are one or two questions on the exam that have not been covered in a similar way in exercises and don't have a straightforward solution. If you want an A you are expected to know the subject well enough to solve these kind of questions within the time.
