Well I have a final on Wednesday and Thursday and a Math 150 final to get out of the way sometime between now and Friday.

And I'm on here, so you tell me how my studying is going . . .

Good luck....God I hated that class.

One final Monday, a final plus a presentation on Tuesday, a final on my birthday (Wednesday), a day off to recover from Wednesday night on Thursday, then a 7:30 AM final on Friday.

Awesome. :no:

ugh math 150.... :no:

I'm the only accountant you've heard of with four semesters of calculus. I used to be able to solve differential equations - so don't "cry" to me.... My hats off to those who can make it through Engineeing. I could only handle the mathmetical diciplines Calculus, Physics, Statics, Dynamics, etc. Sciences killed me.

Seriously, between tuition, room and board, student loan payments, etc, it costs about $20K per year. Swine flu becomes a lot less funny. And my daughter carries a 3.75 CGPA.

Yeah, I'm not real worried about 150, I know exactly what i have to do to get an A in the class (which is better than mostly every other class), and you get 3 cracks at it.

I'm really worried about the Acct 215 test I have Wednesday, that class is kicking my behind badly.

Then you shouldn't be worried about her at all because she sounds like a great student.

Get the old exams. If you don't have them, PM me and I'll get them to you. I took it last semester and didn't know the old exams were out there until I was in the exam and the girl in front of me busted them out with some of the exact same questions.

I was hardly crying, just showing my distaste for that class. It's online, which was a struggle to get use to for me, because I learn a lot better in a classroom, not from a website. But thanks though. My major only requires me to take three math classes, and it doesnt go past my brief calculus class that I'm taking this semester. As for that I'm still getting use to because I stopped at Algebra 2 my junior year in high school and couldnt fit in a math to my schedule senior year of high school. Thankfully I only need one science class for my major.

And if your daughter has that high of GPA then you really shouldn't worry all too much. Props to her.

:eek: Do you even need to study with that schedule? Geology and Com Sci were some of the easiest classes I ever took.

PL P 508 and Agron 526 are my problem right now. 526 scares the **** out of me.

Well good for her... ill be honest, I could care less about finals at this point.... im graduating in 5 days and have completely checked out as of spring break... I have done nothing producive for weeks now, and it feels great... apathy is a powerful drug... for instance, last week I was in the library trying to study for an accounting test and ended up researching the history of railroad transportation in Europe for three hours

I concur with you. CyDude16 is banking on me giving him what the professor told us was on the final in class on Friday. :biggrin:

They actually made both classes a bit more difficult then they once were. :no: Comp Sci I definitley dont need to study for. It should be a breeze. Political Science I should be fine, I'm really good at history/Pol. Sci topics. Geology will be alright, I've looked over the past tests and seem to remember a good amount, the new stuff I'm screwed on though! Econ I should be good. and Math I've decided i'm screwed on it so I've given up on trying to study for that. :sad:

The business curriculum at ISU is quite easy, but in the end when you get to be an upperclassmen and stop caring the A's you can get in these classes ,without much effort, will really help you out.

I'm a senior in finance, and the only class I really ended up hating was Stat 326. The Biz core classes are not bad and the the upper level 300-400 level classes are an easy B with minimal effort.
