So I Thought I Could Study For My 1st Calculus Exam In One Night

[How Sway?]

Odds are the professor he took won't teach in the fall semester. I may be wrong though given it's the summer. But when I took calc 2 in fall 2015 that same professor wasn't teaching calc 2 in the spring.

I guess it depends on the school. At my school. Most of the calc teachers in the summer taught during the regular semester.

For future reference OP, if you wanna pass calc you should form a study group and review whatever yall learned in class right after you get out of class and again before you go to bed. Thats what helped me.

And find a way to get the solutions manual.

Did you take Calc 2? Calc 2 is hard for me. I understand the material and everything, but when it comes to the test and doing the problems.. it doesn't work out as easy as they did while I'm studying or the problems we did in class. We don't get any formulas either so I memorize those, which isn't too much of a problem.

Probably too busy scanning the class for women to obsess over

Nope, ain't that many bad chicks in calculus to drool over. Op was just being lazy.

When took Calc 2 and 3, my professor dropped one out of four exams.

I usually bombed the first one .

Averaged out a B for the other three

I don't remember shyt four years later

I did but I have no idea how I passed that class bc that was hard af

I studied my azz off though. Me and my study group would be up till like 2 am at the library.

Tbh our teacher let us write a formula sheet in class so that helped. But I would literally do each homework problem like 5-10 times before test day. I'd also do the even problems that the teacher wouldn't assign. I'd mostly focus on the hardest problems too. Plus having the solutions manual helped bc it actually shows the steps for each problem. I kept redoing them till it became like second nature in my brain!


I'm so glad I'm outta school

So how did you do breh? Did you pass the class?

No

I'm putting in work in this C++ class though.

What did you major in?

Breh, I'll keep it a buck with you, if you're having trouble with Calc I, even in a condensed format, you might want to start considering options. That is, unless you plan on seriously improving your study skills. Of all my engineering courses, the Math sequence was the easiest.

Math ain't hard, it's just MAD time consuming. Especially when condensed.

You just don't understand the material. With math all you have to do is understand steps and formulas. When the teacher was going over the material you should be been like I don't understand this step go over it again hoebytch I'm not understanding yo methods hoe, run that back for me one Moe gin. I'm a complete dumbass when it comes to math so asking questions in class helped me pass.

Constant repetition is the path to progression, all money in.

What did you major in?

I was an electrical eng. Major with a minor in econ.

But I graduated with econ and an applied math minor bc I wanted graduate earlier tbh. I may go back to finish the EE degree but we'll see how things play out.

I take it youre in engineering?

With calc 2 there's a bunch of different ways to do shyt.

There are bunch of different integration techniques, then with series there's also different techniques you can use.

Let's say in class your prof solved an integral problem using trigonometric substitution using sine, but on the exam he gave you a tan problem. shyt gon look pretty different.

Nah Comp Sci. Should have taken calc 2 in community college damn it! Didn't switch majors until I graduated from CC tho and I can't go back to take more classes there.

what's the highest level of math that you took in college?
