I just started my first semester of Civil Eng this week. Any survival tips you care to share?
Just the obvious. Don't fall behind. And even if you know nothing don't take make up exams. Those are always a bad idea. Make friends that you like to study with.
Oh also. If you truly learn calc 1-4. It pays in dividends the rest of the major. But I'm aware that's wishful thinking.
You'll have a great time.
Hi, can you expand on why you shouldn't take make up exams?
If you didn't have time to study for it the first time you won't for the make up exam either.
It's just going to stress you and take away time from other classes. Get it over with at once.
Even if you feel you will get a flat zero. Go and do your best. Skipping an exam to try and do better on a makeup later is -always- a bad idea.
