    I think I'll just accept defeat (PHIL 10 Exam Tomorrow)

    I have done decently on the other exams. Got a 92.5% and then an 82%, not perfect, but alright. With this one though I just can't seem to manage to memorize the rules and I don't think I will be able to before tomorrow. Might just use the final to replace my score on this one.

    Anyone else in the class struggling with this exam topic?

    Also, I just noticed the point brackets for each letter grade and they're so scary.

    Math 109 Take next quarter or later

    Since I’m pretty deep in the waitlist (not enough space for the prof I waitlisted), math dept would probably move me to another professor’s section, most probably Karthik Ganapathy’s. He’s a new postdoc here and he has no rmp rating yet. I’m not sure how his lectures and exams/grading will turn out to be, and considering it’s my first exposure to upper division proof-based math, I’m a bit concerned. I’m taking 18 and 20c this quarter so I have the option to take 20d or 20e next quarter. In that case am I suggested to still go with 109 this winter (since this is a gatekeeper course for all upper division courses), or should I wait for a better professor in future quarters?

    CHEM 40A Bertrand Help Please 🙏

    I missed both midterms because I've been super sick all quarter, and I feel super unprepared for the final (this Saturday), which is now worth 100% of my grade. Do you guys have any tips/tricks/study guides you could point me in the direction of? Thank you in advance.

    F**K this school

    As I am nearing graduation they finally decide to uncap engineering majors and hand out CSE majors to all the poor Cali residents like candy. Now i'm heading into this shitty job market with a degree no one has ever heard of, Cognitive Science.

    If you entered ucsd around 2019, every fucking major was capped and or lotterybased. Fucking academic elitism at this school, fk them

    Public Transit PSA

    If you take the tram anywhere, and you notice people wanting to leave and you stand and crowd the door, you need to be taught public transport etiquette. Which is letting people off before you get in. The driver of anything, sees you do you don't have to worry.

    Also, if you are sitting in priority seating and you see someone who has some issues with their legs, or are blind, or any number of things that could warrant them needing to have quick and easy seating. Please move. You cannot possibly think that you are the centre of attention all the time.

    Rant over

    Your annual reminder to waive out of the scam that is the UC SHIP insurance plan and get either MediCal or one of the CoveredCalifornia plans

    That is all. SHIP is an absolute scam even before what they pulled this year with reducing the grants they promised people would cover it after the waiver period was already over.

    Anxiety about AI Violation

    I got charged with an AI violation last year ( I cheated, then felt bad and told the professor). I’m now terrified of getting another one, as it will have serious consequences for graduate school because I have an infraction on my record now. I haven’t cheated since then, but I’m having some serious anxiety about being accused. Is there any way I can check if I’ve been accused or if a professor has filed an intent to report?

    To all the people cutting the wrong way across the roundabouts

    I understand that you may have a desire to get seriously injured, but please keep me out of it. Ive nearly gotten into crashes with you dipshits multiple times because you guys cant just take 2 extra seconds to go the right way. Nothing you are doing is worth the consequences of getting yourself hurt, and ESPECIALLY not worth getting others hurt.

    I think you should just save yourself and your potential victims the trouble and just go the correct way. Or ensure its completely clear to make that maneuver.

    Can you guys tell im tired of this?

    Chem 40A final - Bertrand

    For those who have taken Bertrand before hand, how was the final on a scale 1-10? I did well on both exams but the practice final looks foreign to me… I’m feeling defeated. Any tips?!

    Was the practice final identical to the actual final?

    PHYS 1AL Final

    For anyone who’s taken the practical assessment, what is it like? Set up wise and content? I read all his announcements, modules, & syllabus info, just trying to figure out what to expect ie how quick it feels, where you feel like things were good or not, how similar it is to the labs we did, etc.
