I'm a freshman about to go onto a sophomore and school is just way too hard. First of all our ignorant rude English teacher gives us long question filled papers EVERYDAY IN CLASS. In the past I would never have this much work back to back😐 and I'm not in a prestigious class either this is the lowest/ easiest English class avaliable in my school and the highest in my class is a 73%!!!!!! She gives out way too much work and had way too high expectations for people just coming out of middle school and on top of that she doesn't even help the class either. She's so fucking quick to drop your grade down by 20% but never contacts parents or comes up to you in private and asks if you need help😐 .very rigged against us students to make us fail. My upperclassmen friend said she shouldn't be teaching us because she's used to teaching juniors and seniors who usually don't need extra assistance specifically with this amount of work.
She's a really bad case. Her and my history teacher just don't ever fucking stop with the amount of work they give on top of these impossible due dates🤦‍♂️ it's a sloppy ass mess!!! And it's really not even that the work in either of those classes is super hard it's just the amount is what's really killing us in their classes.
And algebra makes actually no fucking sense. This isn't math it's a long complicated random puzzle of bullshit. I can tell you what 20x500-367 is (its 9633 btw) and just math like that I can do but as soon as I reaches algebra in 7th that's when my brain completely shut down. We were just thrown into it so unexpectedly too. It doesn't help the fact that it's so complicated the teachers have to triple-check their work in order to make sure THEY are right because it's just so long, confusing and useless🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. And there's like 20 new concepts you have to learn the next day of class after everyone was struggling on the first unit and couldnt get half the paper done🤦‍♂️.
It's a confusing wreck. Am I screwed for my upcoming years?

Pretty cringe ik, but here is my advice on how to approach Math 1131 if you have only done standard maths in the HSC. I did standard maths and managed to get 80+, however there were many times before starting the course and during the course where I felt like dropping it and not pursuing my degree in comp sci and to just do commerce. I think a lot of people would be in a similar boat to me, as UNSW makes it clear that standard maths students won't be able to do the course unless they complete a year's worth of bridging courses. Well, this is simply not true and if this course has made you consider re-evaluating what you want to pursue, don't feel like an idiot because that was me too. (So don't flame me as a sweat, just trying to encourage someone who was in my position)
If you are an incoming student and haven't done any preparation, I'd consider doing it in the term following as this will give you enough time to prepare on the side (or use the summer holidays like I did). Alternatively, you could just be an animal and rawdog it.
To prepare, here is what I did and what I'd do again. Go on Khan Academy and create an account to track your progress. If you are anything like me, I didn't know what a quadratic was or how to properly factorize, so I'd recommend completing the following 'courses' in this order.

• Algebra 1/2
• Trigonometry (even though you did this in standard maths - it is not enough of a baseline)
• Precalculus (Units 1,2,3,6,7)
• College AP/BC Calculus

You don't have to do them all to 100% proficiency every single time, but this will get you to the baseline of an advanced math student within 100 hours maximum. I'd take notes while watching all the tutorials etc, even though I didn't refer to them much, it was great in consolidating my understanding.
https://www.khanacademy.org/
The second thing I'd do is leading up to the course is to complete these revision sheets set out by UNSW. Now, don't get wigged out if you can't do them first try, I couldn't either. You've just learned this content.
https://www.unsw.edu.au/science/our-schools/maths/student-life-resources/student-services/mathematics-drop-in-centre/revision-worksheets
Now, onto the actual course itself, you will get the course material about a week before, don't get wigged out by the course pack - it seems like a lot but its not as bad as you think.
To understand the content here's what I'd do (and did do).

• Only watch Milhan Pahors lecture stream.
  • I didn't watch a single other lecture apart from this - they are online and are brilliant. He works through the problems, shows you where the traps are and how to approach them.
  • Also don't feel stupid for rewatching parts of the lecture either - nobody gets it first go.
• Go to the maths drop in center once a week.
  • They are both online and in person & are great for asking questions / reinforcing your knowledge.
• Chatgpt 4o just came out.
  • It's ability to solve maths problems is fantastic and can solve probably about 80-90% of course material. Use this to obtain worked solutions to problems since they don't give you worked solutions and also use it as a private tutor.

Finally, here's how to actually pass the course and even do well in it. The course is lobsided, you want to get a pre-exam mark 45+/50 because the final is near impossible to do. 40/50 is in line with a pass (for extension/advanced math students who didn't initially take the course seriously and can clutch it in the final - not you) so you want to score near perfect on everything.
Mobius:
These are weekly quizzes that are approximately 10%, you are able to check your answers before submitting with a week long time limit. You can easily get 100% on this.
Lab Test 1:
This is a lab test where you will get the practice questions that will be exactly the same. They just change the numbers around. So you can practice until you are basically automatic.
One thing to note - for this lab test you will only get access to a Kcalc, which is a terrible calculator and I'd go into a labroom maybe when you are in uni before the exam and try it out. You'll basically do this test completely manually/ in your head (so take that into consideration & don't get caught lacking as a lot of people underperform in this lab ). You want to aim for full marks and its not hard to do, you just memorise how to do it.
For lab test 1/2 - UNSW mathsoc discord posts worked solutions a week prior aswell & their page gives previous years worked solutions if you want a head start.
https://www.unswmathsoc.org/resources/exam-bank
Lab Test 2:
This lab test uses maple, which is great for us because it does the manual computations/calculations for us. Once again, find the worked solutions, make a cheat sheet and memorise the lab test answers. Worth 15%.
Assignment:
This is worth 10%, about 2% comes from answering questions on the mobius which you can review to see if you are correct (so its guaranteed). Then you are to write a paper on proving those answers. It's broken up into two parts, algebra and calculus. It turns out for the Algebra section they recycle the same questions every year, so go onto studocu and just get an exemplar response. For this aswell, make sure you do all the formatting correctly.
https://www.studocu.com/en-au/course/university-of-new-south-wales/mathematics-1a/1537137?origin=document-viewer
Final Exam:
If you type in Math1131 on this subreddit, you'll quickly be able to tell this exam is pretty challenging. The sheer amount of complaining about this exam has made it become somewhat of a meme - kinda why I'm hoping this post doesn't get torn to shreds.

• The Final exam is 60% seen questions from a 200 question exam bank (they only select about 8 questions). So it is a ton of questions to get ur head around and then try memorise.
  • These questions are also really difficult - which is why a lot of people absolutely wig their shit before the final. It is a huge jump from the labs so I'd get onto them as early as possible.
• They give you worked solutions via video sessions (approximately 15-25 hours of worked solutions).

So, you have to hedge your bets, what I did was make a document where I screenshotted solutions, or made a cheat sheet on how to do them. This took me a fucking minute and I didn't do all the questions - only the ones where I could actually replicate it in an exam. Once you've done that, just repeatedly do the past papers.
If you do all this - you should get somewhere between 10-25/60, I reckon. Since you've actually watched a lot of the practice questions - you'll find the unseen questions are somewhat similar and you can do parts of them.
So to recap - don't be discouraged by this propaganda set out by the engineering/maths/comp sci departments about the course. If you are anything like me, chances are you've done well to get to a position to do your course and know how to work systematically. If you do this, you not only can pass, but actually do well.
Once you get over this hurdle, all other maths at uni will be the same difficulty to you as it is to your peers. You'll have to spend a lot of time on this subject, but I still went partying during the term etc - wasn't just some incel. So, hopefully this will encourage you to give it a red hot crack.

I am trying so hard and failing so bad. I studied for two weeks for a Calc I exam that I got a 72/100 on. Some other students got 90+ and they barely even studied ( I asked them). I really thought I was gonna get a 90+ as well, but I got really anxious during the exam and forgot so much of what I had learned. As soon as I left I figured out the two problems that I lost 20ish points on. Every math exam I get 2 or 3 points higher than the average (average is usually 40-50, doesn’t curve, shit teacher doesn’t even speak English). If I am struggling with Calc I, I’ll probably get murdered when I get to the engineering courses.
I asked myself why I struggle with school so much, maybe it’s because I went to a shit high school that didn’t have math classes past Algebra 2. Maybe it’s because my parents never forced me to work on puzzles or do anything useful with my brain and now it’s too late. Maybe it’s because I feel like shit all the time.
Becoming an Engineer has been a dream of mine for so long. Maybe it’s time to let it go. Anyone else has been in this shituation before? What would you do?
Edit: This threaded motivated me to keep trying. Thank you all.

Hi everyone, current 2T7 ECE here. I thought I would make a quick post on a guide to first year engineering, listing out all the stuff I wish I knew before coming to university. The first semester portion is applicable to all engineering disciplines, the second semester portion would be more useful to ECEs, T1, Indie and Mechs.
First Semester Courses:
MAT186: This was by far the hardest course for me and the entire cohort (C average). Even though I knew all the concepts of the course beforehand (through AP Calc BC and A-levels) this was my worst course. The reason for this was because the course focuses on testing theory (your understanding of the nitty gritty) rather than on computation. My advice for this course would be to make sure you work on written hw with friends (impossible to do alone), and do every single tutorial worksheet (exam questions are exactly like tutorial worksheets). Sean Upall was the course coordinator, and even thought I didnt like his lectures, I think it prepares you the most for the final exam.
MAT188: This was my favourite course even though it probably took up most of my time. This course was completely new to me, which is why I took a lot more time understanding the Pre class essentials. There is a lot of "theory" in this course, which will take a while to learn, so spend a good amount of time understanding and learning the PCEs. One reccomendation to make this process of learning faster is to watch 3blue1browns essence of linear algebra series. Watch the video corresponding to the upcoming weeks concepts before reading the PCEs. Written HW was hard (not as hard as calculus) so do it with friends, the gateway exams are a bit of a joke since you can retake them, and if you practice them enough you realize theres a pattern in the answers. Midterms and Final exams actually test at an appropriate level, so as long you have a strong grasp of the concepts you will be fine. If professor Cameillia is teaching the course go for her lectures, she is by far the best (she is also the course coordinator).
CIV100: This was a very interesting course, it needs a lot of practice of past papers. Literally you'll need to grill through past papers in order to succeed in this course. The final exam is such that there are 5 questions and you have 30 mins per question. Each quesition is quite hard which makes the exam very time pressured, so again PRACTICE. The quizzes in this course are dependant on your lecturer, some profs give easy quizzes whilst others give hard ones, this is out of your control. In my opinion the best lecturer was Professor Merjan, she was probably the best lecturer I've had in my time here at UOFT. The only problem is that she teaches the course in a different timeline than other profs, so you probably cant change lecturers cuz quiz material is different between different profs.
APS110: As an ECE I still dont know why I had to take this course. Overall, it was taught quite well. Scott Ramsay is the best lecturer for this course, although basically everything he says is already in the textbook (which is why I did not attend lectures). The Textbook is more than enough for this course. The Final exam for our batch was quite difficult compared to past year exams, but I think I did well because I practiced quite a few past papers.
APS111: Contraty to public opinion, I thought this was one of the most fun and useful courses in first semester. I had quite a sh*t team, but managed. Make sure you look at the rubrics for each assignment before you start writing. Also the way this course works is that you have to submit individual and group assignments which are essentially these long documents. Because they are doucments, they are marked in a qualitative way as there is no right answer per se. Make sure you bombard the person who is correcting the assignment with questions so that you nail exactly what they are looking for.
Second semester courses
MAT187: This is calculus two and it was much better than Calc one. Professor Camelia was the course coordinator, so just like MAT188 the exams were all at an appropriate level. Written HWs again requires help from friends. I mainly studies for this course using the PCEs, and practiced the tutorial worksheets. Some of my friends used the textbook, but I dont think its really required. The best prof for this course is any lecture seciton containing Camelia.
MIE100: For some reason, our year was probably the first year in a long time where the exams for this course were not insanely difficult. They were all at an appropriate level, apparently because they wanted to increase the number of people going into mech eng 💀💀. I found professor Sinclair to be quite good, a lot of people liked Howard Ho as well (trust in Howard Ho). The Wiley plus questions are useful to do to keep up with concepts, but the difficulty of the questions in wiley was way harder than the exam questions, so I wouldnt say its a must to do them ethically.
APS105: Great course. If you have a background in coding, this course will be a breeze at least up until reading week, you'll have to spend more time on it after that. The course is such that 30% of your grade is from labs, so make sure you do them well. the other 70 percent is from exams, which are at an appropriate level once again. Just make sure that you do a lot of past papers as practice. Professor Emara is by far the best, and is amazing if you are new to programming. If you have experience, reading the textbook (Snefru) is more than enough to understand the content.
ECE110: In our batch, while I didnt find the exams difficult, the batch's average after the second midterm was about 51%. After the final exam, they curved the course up quite a bit, I think the average is now a B, also an easy final exam helped out. The first half of this course is more theoretical (electrostatics and electromagnetism) and the second half is circuit analysis. Make sure you do all the Wiley Plus questions for this course, as sometimes they ask the same questions in exams. All the lecturers for this course are pretty bad, but Professor Mojahedis notes are legendary (in my opinion), other people didnt like them because it explained the concepts using proofs. Other profs notes would just state the formula.
APS112: Continuation of APS111. My team was much better this time. Same advice for this course, as APS111. Also make sure you're on top of things because it goes by much quicker in this course as there are way more assignments. Nothing really much to say to be honest, the midterm was a bit screwed up because there are multiple right answers and you have to choose the best one.
Overall for grades, dont worry too much. As long as you get around an 80 for exams and get all the free marks for assignments you'll be on track for at least an 80+ in the course. Remember that university isnt just about studies though, try and indulge into extracurriculars and be social.
Extracurriculars:
Design teams: UOFT has a plehora of design teams for you to choose from. Some design teams are better than others, but the only way that you will actually get deep into the design teams is if you put in the work. Beg leads for tasks, and do them to demonstrate interest. You can also demonstrate interest by doing really menial tasks as well. The point is you need to make sure the leads know you are willing to do tasks, and have showcased that you are worth giving the tasks to. Overtime, depending on the design team you may have to make a choice between grades and the team, thats up to you. Grades dont matter much unless you want to do a masters degree.
Clubs: For these try getting a lead position, a lot of them offer positions in the summer so make sure you follow them on instagram (e.g. engineers without borders, IEEE, etc). Again, you get what you put in to the club.
Intramurals: I loved playing intramurals at UOFT. However, the team that you play for depends on the people you know. For e.g. the SKULE team isnt great for soccer, and if you want to join a better team then you need to know someone on that team. So try networking lol.
Social life:
This was something that I personally struggled with at least initially at UOFT. I gave way too much time to studies, which really isnt worth it. UOFT is way easier than people make it out to be (I'm not being arrogant, and I'm not someone who's gifted in intellegence). As long as you manage your time, you will be fine. Anyway in first year most people would go to frats, and I would reccomend trying it out at least once. Go in the first weeks of school as thats the easiest time, and will also allow you to make new friends. Make sure to know a lot of people, at least at the surface level at the start, as that will make things easier for you in the long run and will also help you find the people you like to hang out with.
Summer after first year:
In my opinion do research if you want work experience, then step up to an internship next summer. If you want to relax thats a good option as well, just try doing some courses and build up some skills for sure.

**Introduction**

Preparing for polytechnic entrance exams can be a daunting task, but with the right approach and mindset, it can also be a rewarding journey. These exams are crucial as they open the doors to a wide array of technical education opportunities. Whether you’re aspiring to become an engineer, a technician, or a skilled tradesperson, your preparation strategy will play a significant role in achieving your goals.

**Understanding the Exam Format**

**Exam Structure**

Before diving into the preparation process, it's essential to understand the structure of the exam you're about to take. Most polytechnic entrance exams are divided into multiple sections, typically covering subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and sometimes General Knowledge or Logical Reasoning.

**Subjects Covered**

• **Mathematics**: Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Statistics.
  
• **Physics**: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, and Optics.
  
• **Chemistry**: Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry.
  
• **General Knowledge**: Current affairs, history, geography, and basic sciences.
  
• **Logical Reasoning**: Analytical reasoning, puzzles, and pattern recognition.
  

**Marking Scheme**

Understanding the marking scheme is crucial. Some exams have negative marking for incorrect answers, which means accuracy is as important as speed. Familiarize yourself with how marks are awarded and deducted to strategize your answering techniques effectively.

**Setting Realistic Goals**

**Importance of Goal Setting**

Setting realistic and achievable goals is the first step towards success. Goals give you a clear direction and a sense of purpose. Without goals, it's easy to lose track and motivation.

**Short-term vs. Long-term Goals**

• **Short-term Goals**: Daily and weekly targets like completing a chapter or solving a certain number of problems.
  
• **Long-term Goals**: Milestones such as finishing the syllabus by a specific date or achieving a target score in mock tests.
  

**Creating a Study Schedule**

**Importance of a Study Plan**

A well-structured study plan helps you organize your time efficiently and ensures that you cover all the necessary topics before the exam.

**How to Design an Effective Schedule**

• **Assess Your Current Knowledge**: Identify your strengths and weaknesses.
  
• **Prioritize Subjects**: Allocate more time to subjects or topics you find challenging.
  
• **Break Down Syllabus**: Divide the syllabus into manageable chunks and assign them to specific days.
  
• **Include Breaks**: Ensure you have short breaks to avoid burnout.
  

**Gathering Study Materials**

**Recommended Books and Resources**

Invest in good quality textbooks and reference books that are specifically tailored for polytechnic entrance exams. Some highly recommended books include:

• **Mathematics**: R.D. Sharma, S.L. Loney
  
• **Physics**: H.C. Verma, D.C. Pandey
  
• **Chemistry**: O.P. Tandon, R.C. Mukherjee
  

**Online Resources and Practice Tests**

Leverage online platforms for additional practice and concept clarity. Websites like Khan Academy, Coursera, and YouTube channels offer free tutorials and practice problems. Also, use online test series to simulate the exam environment.

**Mastering the Basics**

**Importance of Strong Fundamentals**

A strong grasp of basic concepts is vital as it forms the foundation for solving more complex problems. Don’t just memorize formulas—understand the underlying principles.

**Key Topics to Focus On**

Each subject has core topics that are frequently tested. Focus on mastering these areas before moving on to advanced topics. For example:

• **Mathematics**: Algebra, Geometry
  
• **Physics**: Mechanics, Electromagnetism
  
• **Chemistry**: Chemical Bonding, Stoichiometry
  

**Practicing Previous Year Papers**

**Benefits of Solving Past Papers**

Solving previous year papers gives you insight into the exam pattern, the types of questions asked, and the level of difficulty. It also helps you identify recurring themes and important topics.

**How to Analyze Your Performance**

After solving a paper, critically analyze your mistakes and understand why they happened. This will help you avoid similar errors in the future.

**Taking Mock Tests**

**Importance of Mock Tests**

Mock tests are a crucial part of your preparation. They help you get accustomed to the exam format and time constraints, reducing anxiety on the actual exam day.

**How to Use Mock Tests for Improvement**

Treat mock tests as real exams. After each test, review your performance thoroughly and work on areas where you lost marks. This continuous feedback loop will help you improve progressively.

**Time Management Techniques**

**Managing Time During Preparation**

Effective time management during your preparation phase ensures that you can cover the entire syllabus without last-minute cramming. Use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused and productive.

**Strategies for Time Management During the Exam**

• **Read Questions Carefully**: Spend the first few minutes reading through the paper and strategizing your approach.
  
• **Time Allocation**: Allocate time to each section and stick to it. Don’t spend too much time on any one question.
  
• **Skip and Return**: If you’re stuck on a question, move on and come back to it if you have time.
  

**Effective Revision Strategies**

**Importance of Revision**

Revision is key to retaining information and boosting your confidence. It helps consolidate your learning and ensures that you don’t forget important concepts.

**Techniques for Effective Revision**

• **Regular Revision**: Include revision sessions in your study schedule.
  
• **Use Summaries and Flashcards**: Summarize each chapter and use flashcards for quick reviews.
  
• **Teach Others**: Explaining concepts to friends or family can reinforce your understanding.
  

**Maintaining Health and Well-being**

**Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle**

Your physical and mental health play a crucial role in your performance. Neglecting health can lead to burnout and decreased efficiency.

**Tips for Physical and Mental Health**

• **Exercise Regularly**: Physical activity boosts brain function and reduces stress.
  
• **Balanced Diet**: Eat nutritious food to keep your energy levels up.
  
• **Adequate Sleep**: Ensure you get enough sleep to stay alert and focused.
  

**Dealing with Exam Anxiety**

**Common Symptoms of Exam Anxiety**

Symptoms include nervousness, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty concentrating. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step to managing them.

**Techniques to Manage Stress**

• **Deep Breathing Exercises**: Helps calm your mind and reduce anxiety.
  
• **Positive Visualization**: Visualize yourself succeeding in the exam.
  
• **Stay Organized**: A well-organized study plan reduces last-minute stress.
  

**Joining Study Groups**

**Benefits of Group Study**

Studying in a group can provide motivation, different perspectives on difficult topics, and shared resources.

**How to Form or Join a Study Group**

Look for classmates or peers preparing for the same exam. Set regular meetings and ensure the group stays focused and productive.

**Seeking Professional Guidance**

**Benefits of Coaching Classes**

Professional coaching can provide structured learning, expert guidance, and additional resources that you might not have access to otherwise.

**How to Choose the Right Coaching Institute**

Consider factors such as the institute’s track record, faculty experience, study material, and student reviews. Visit a few institutes, if possible, before making your decision.

**Conclusion**

Preparing for polytechnic entrance exams requires a strategic approach, dedication, and consistent effort.

I have a C in my algebra class. It’s not a terrible grade, but I know it will become one if I keep doing what I’m doing. I don’t even bother turning in worksheets because they have nothing on them, I don’t have anything. Math has always been a tough subject for me, but this year has been especially hard. Like, I haven’t had any clue what we’ve even been doing in that class for the last few months. It doesn’t help that there’s like 15 people trying to be the class clown the ENTIRE HOUR, so I learn pretty much nothing. I was always the kid in elementary and middle school that could get by just fine without studying, but it doesn’t work that way anymore. How do I study?

This year in Grade 11 my math mark has dropped and I've been humbled. I want to get higher grades than I ever have before while getting myself out of this academic downfall before Grade 12, when marks really matter. For context, I have a 93 this year and I want to get it to a 97-98+.
I want to prepare for MHF4U, Grade 12 Advanced Functions (in US this course is called precalc i think) and to do that I want to strengthen my fundamentals.
I am planning to study over the summer and create a defined plan that I have to stick to (like homework over the summer). I'm ready to create my plan... but the problem is that I don't really know where to study!
Here are the topics I am the worst at:
-The quadratic plane (i get it, but I need to get faster + make less mistakes)
-Raitos
-Getting really fast and accurate at algebra
-Learning the rules of Algebra (some specific edge cases)
-Arithmetic
-Problem solving
... and anything else you guys think I really need to learn
I'd prefer websites with practice-- i am a huge fan of those generative ones so that I can time myself improving and I don't have to go searching for worksheets all day. Please let me anybody knows good ones.
I also am fine with learning from textbooks, but I don't really know how to self-study from them, so please explain. I don't really like videos, and I know Khan Academy exists, so please don't suggest it.

I've recently completed my third year of computer engineering at UofT, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the courses I've taken. I hope this will be beneficial to incoming first, second, and third-year engineering students. My area of depth is 6 (Software) and my areas of breadth are 4 (Control) and 5 (Computer hardware/networks).
Difficulty: How hard it was to comprehend course material and/or complete practice problems accurately. Keep in mind that difficulty is subjective but I tried to eliminate personal bias and be as objective as possible.
Workload: The amount of work to complete outside of lectures (labs, assignments, homework, studying for tests/exams).
All engineers take the exact same courses in their first year first semester and similar ones in second semester. I took these courses in 2021 during covid so some information might be outdated.
First Year Semester 1:
APS100 Orientation to Engineering:
Difficulty: 1/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: N/A
There is no technical material in this course. All coursework consists of Ethics analysis, creating a schedule for time management, creating your resume, and discussion board participation. During tutorials, the TA typically asks behavioral questions to the class and covers slides pertaining to engineering principles, the learning environment, test readiness, and related topics.
APS110 Engineering Chemistry and Materials Science
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B
This course blends elements of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, requiring lots of formulas and memorization. The assignments and online quizzes were moderately difficult. Not sure if he’s still teaching but Scott Ramsay was a really good professor. Really enjoyed watching his video demonstrations.
APS111 Engineering Strategies and Practices I
Difficulty: 3/10 Workload: 6/10 (Variable) Course Average: B
Students are organized into groups of 5-6 and are assigned the task of developing a solution for a client, following the engineering design process. Success in this course heavily relies on your team. Throughout the semester, there are several milestones where you need to submit large reports with your team, making it crucial to have capable teammates. Many teams resorted to last-minute cramming the night before each milestone (not a good idea). Additionally, there are two peer reviews, so make sure you contribute to avoid being perceived as an unproductive member. In most cases, you don’t need to worry about this though. You’d likely all be good friends by that point (and give each other a perfect review).
CIV100 Mechanics
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 9/10 Course Average: C+
The consensus among most students in my year was that this was the toughest first year course. It's incredibly calculation heavy, with questions that may appear straightforward in theory but require multiple steps to solve. Even a minor error can screw up your entire calculation process. The assignments are extremely time-consuming, and the quizzes pose significant challenges. I suggest you work in a group for the assignments. Furthermore, both the final exam and midterm were exceptionally difficult.
MAT186 Calculus I
Difficulty: 4/10 Workload: 4/10 Course Average: B
If you’ve taken IB or AP this course will be a breeze. Even without that background, it's still relatively straightforward. Very little on integrals, mostly derivatives, rates of change, and graphs. PCEs and WebWorks were trivial, and the midterm and exam were easy.
MAT188 Linear Algebra
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B-
The majority of the course revolves around relatively straightforward operations on matrices and vectors. However, it does introduce abstract concepts like higher-order dimensions, which may require some deeper thinking to fully grasp. Webwork assignments were slightly more challenging compared to MAT186's, and completing assignments took a while. Once again, you should work with a partner or as a group. Pay attention in the MATLAB practicals because you’ll be using MATLAB pretty often in future courses.
First Year Semester 2:
APS105 Computer Fundamentals
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B-
If you’ve taken programming in high school, you will likely find this course very easy (2/10 difficulty). The course covers simple programming syntax, along with basic sorting algorithms, without delving into more advanced concepts beyond linked lists and binary trees. I do know many people who struggled though. I think that this was one of the more enjoyable courses of first year. Edit: perhaps not as easy as I described. Make sure to get programming experience in the summer before first year if you don’t already have it.
APS112 Engineering Strategies and Practices II
Difficulty: 5/10 Workload: 7/10 (Variable) Course Average: B+
This course is essentially a continuation of APS111, but with the added component of being assigned an actual client with a real-world problem statement. Each group works with a unique client, and at the end of the term, you present your final report directly to them, along with your supervisors. As with APS111, the quality of your team plays a crucial role in your success. Another thing to note is that unlike APS111, there were multiple individual assignments to complete on top of your team reports.
ECE110 Electrical Fundamentals
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 6/10 Course Average: C+
Definitely one of the harder first year courses. This course marks your introduction to circuits. Topics covered include capacitors, Ampere's law, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, AC/DC circuits, magnetism, Thevenin and Norton equivalents, and more. The material is extensive and requires thorough understanding, as many future courses will build upon its concepts. Make sure that you understand the content well, given its foundational importance in subsequent courses.
ECE191 Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
Difficulty: 0/10 Workload: 1/10 Course Average: N/A
Seminar course. You just need to show up to the lectures (one per week) and submit a 100-ish word report about what you learned.
MAT187 Calculus II
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
The workload in this course is comparable to Calc I, but the content is more challenging (obviously). It delves deeper into integrals and introduces concepts like ordinary differential equations and polar coordinates. But again, you’ll manage just fine if you did decently in Calc 1, and especially if you’ve taken AP math or IB HL math.
MIE100 Dynamics
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload 4/10 Course Average: C+
I personally found this to be the most challenging course in first year, but it seems that most people disagree with me. It shares similarities with CIV100, but you’re instead dealing with dynamic systems (moving) rather than static ones (not moving). Some concepts may prove difficult to grasp initially. However, if you focus on memorizing the relevant formulas and understanding when to apply them, you should be okay. Expect an emphasis on physics in this course.
Second year was the worst (for ECE) and a very big step up from first year. If you struggled in first year, you better lock in for second year.
Second Year Semester 1:
ECE201 ECE Seminar Course
Difficulty: 0/10 Workload: 0/10 Course Average: N/A
Another seminar course, except you just need to attend 7/10 lectures to pass. Most students just scan their Tcard at the entrance then leave right after. The lectures are pretty useless except the Magellan one where they show you how to choose courses for 3rd and 4th year.
ECE212 Circuit Analysis
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 8/10 Course Average: B+
This course provides a deeper exploration of circuits, extending beyond circuit solving to include frequency and sinusoidal analysis. Questions tend to be long so careless errors will cost you. Personally, I found the labs challenging, particularly because they required working with oscilloscopes at a higher level than I was used to, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to use that thing.
ECE241 Digital Systems
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 8/10 Course Average: B-
This hardware course focuses on the foundation of hardware. A lot of the content is at the fundamental level so it’s not too hard to comprehend. However, the main challenge lies in learning Verilog, a hardware description language. I hate Verilog. All the labs are done using Verilog, and frustratingly, the course provides no instruction on the language, nor are there many helpful resources available online. This lack of guidance made what should have been straightforward labs much more difficult. Thankfully if you are in CE, you’ll never need to take another course with Verilog again. The midterm was easy but the final was borderline impossible.
ECE244 Programming Fundamentals
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B-
This course is the sequel to APS105, delving into more advanced concepts like pointers, constructors, polymorphism, and inheritance. Many of these topics may feel familiar if you have prior programming experience, particularly from high school. Consequently, if you're already proficient in programming, as many computer engineering students are, you should be able to navigate through this course well. The labs were generally manageable, although a couple of them were time-consuming.
MAT290 Advanced Engineering Mathematics
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload 8/10 Course Average: B
In this course, you’ll learn a lot of miscellaneous mathematical concepts that will be relevant in future courses. The goal is to establish a strong foundation to facilitate understanding in third and fourth-year courses. There is also a quiz every week. They were terrible from a time management standpoint, but as long as you spent 3-4 hours per week completing the assigned textbook questions, you should be alright since one (out of two) of the questions on the quiz is guaranteed to be an assigned textbook question (at least, that was the case when I took the course).
MAT291 Calculus III
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload 9/10 Course Average: B-
The entire workload comes from studying for those damn weekly quizzes, much like MAT290. Personally, I found it to be one of the most difficult courses I've ever taken. Think of calculus 2, but now everything is in three dimensions, encompassing concepts like surface integrals, flux integrals, and more. Additionally, the course introduces abstract topics that I still struggle to grasp. Balancing the demands of this course alongside everything else was an incredibly stressful experience.
Second Year Semester 2:
ECE216 Signals and Systems
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload:7/10 Course Average: C+
I think everyone hated this course. It was so poorly taught and the midterms felt haphazard and unpredictable. I relied on the power of BS to pass (worked surprisingly). Other than working with many graphs and MATLAB, I don’t remember much about this course because it was so uninteresting.
ECE221 Electric and Magnetic Fields
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
This course serves as an introduction to fields, while also expanding on the principles covered in ECE110. Many concepts build upon intuitive ideas, such as the repulsion of identical charges and attraction of opposite charges, which can make seemingly complex topics less intimidating. There are also many procedures that you need to know to solve specific types of questions. The labs are generally straightforward. You just need to follow the steps on the lab worksheet and answer a few simple questions from the TA.
ECE231 Intro to Electronics
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: C+
This course is basically circuit analysis but significantly harder. It combines everything you've learned about circuits thus far, introducing new topics on top of that foundation. There are so many new concepts to learn and the final pretty much tests you on all of them. I’ve encountered multiple scenarios where I saw two concepts that I thought were completely separate from each other being integrated into a single question on an exam. Also very calculation heavy. Despite my experience in this course, I must admit Khoman Fang was a great professor.
ECE243 Computer Organization
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 6/10 Course Average: B
This course is a direct continuation of ECE241, and surprisingly, I found it a lot more enjoyable than its prerequisite. The focus is on Assembly language programming, which I found to be way more understandable compared to Verilog. Assembly operates at a fundamental level, so you’re technically working with the most basic building blocks in programming. The labs often involved seemingly simple tasks like counting to 10 on a HEX display, but the nature of Assembly meant that achieving this could require hundreds of lines of code. I appreciated these labs as they provided a refreshing change from the usual programming tasks. Final and midterm exams were relatively easy.
ECE297 Software communication and design
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 9/10 (Variable) Course Average: B+
Despite the demanding workload, this course was one of my favorites. The main project involved collaborating in teams of three to develop a geographical information system (similar to Google Maps). Unlike other courses where teams are assigned, here you have the freedom to choose your own teammates. Starting off, your team is given only the OpenStreetMap database, and the APIs, granting you complete control over your project's design, functionality, and optimization. Performance enhancement and pathfinding algorithms were key components of the project. It's crucial for all team members to contribute effectively for success in this course; And trust me, this is not a one or two person project. To succeed in this course, all three members must be doing their share.
Third Year:
They say that third year is the easiest year for ECE, but that depends on what courses you choose. For me, it was only slightly easier than second year but still significantly harder than first year.
APS360 Fundamentals of Deep Learning
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload : 8/10 Course Average: B+
This course felt fundamentally very different compared to the other programming related courses. If you’re unfamiliar with deep learning, the content can be overwhelming but the inner workings behind AI are both fascinating and challenging to grasp. Fortunately, much of the coding in the course revolves around preparing data, setting up AI architectures, and training/testing models, rather than building an AI from scratch. While the labs are manageable, the final project can be very time consuming, particularly as training a single model can require hours or even days. Regarding this aspect, make sure you start early. Both the midterm and final exams were quite difficult.
ECE302 Probability and Applications
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: B-
The first half of this course is very straightforward. Just an introduction to probability. The second half is where the difficulty quickly ramps up. Make sure you don’t underestimate the second half of the course. I made the mistake of assuming the material was easy after performing well on both midterms (midterms were very easy), leading me to neglect the final third of the course so I flunked the final. FYI, our marks were determined solely by the 2 midterms and the final.
ECE344 Operating Systems
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 10/10 Course Average: B
This course had the most difficult and demanding labs I’ve ever seen in my life. They are due every two weeks and some of them took most students more than 15 hours to complete. I’ve seen people staying up all night in the GB computer rooms to finish these labs. One positive aspect of the course if Jon Eyolfson is your professor, is that all lectures are both recorded and live-streamed, allowing attendance in person, online synchronously, or asynchronously. But if you have Ding Yuan, good luck. I heard he is not only bad at teaching, but also makes you program an operating system from scratch. The course content is quite interesting and the Midterm and final exams were fair.
ECE345 Algorithms and Data Structures
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B+
If you're one of those programming geniuses who have been doing Leetcode since like 3 years old, you’d have likely already learned all course content before you’ve even started the course. You could probably write midterm and final exams without attending any lectures. However, if you're not as experienced, attending every lecture, taking detailed notes, and staying focused is crucial. Personally speaking, some algorithms were incredibly difficult for me to grasp, while others were simple. Assignments typically include both coding and long-answer components, which can be time-consuming, but you can work with a partner.
TEP444 Positive Psychology for Engineers
Difficulty: 1/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: A-
This course overall was very enjoyable and a nice refreshing experience from the other technical courses. You go on excursions to various locations with your group and write reports. It's an excellent opportunity to expand your social circle and make new friends. If you aim for an A- grade (80-85), you can breeze through with minimal effort. However, achieving a higher grade (A or A+) would require significantly more work (like 5 times more, no joke), which is not worth the extra effort in my opinion.
CSC343 Introduction to Databases
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 10/10 Course Average: Unreleased
The content of this course is actually pretty interesting and is taught well. But the assignments were excessively time consuming. There are only three in total, but each one demanded such a significant investment of time to the point where I contemplated dropping the course altogether. You do work with a partner (going solo isn’t even an option if you want to complete the assignments) but even so, be prepared to invest 15-30 hours per person, per assignment (they also mark hard). Despite the workload, I do recommend taking this course because knowing SQL can substantially benefit you in the future. Just start the assignments early. On a positive note, the midterm and final were relatively straightforward.
ECE311 Introduction to Control Systems
Difficulty: 10/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
This course didn't come with a heavy workload, consisting only of three labs and two midterms. However, I found the content to be very challenging. It felt like they condensed and combined every concept from every engineering math and physics course into one. Topics ranged from circuits and dynamics to Laplace transforms, matrices, Bode plots, and more. It didn’t help that Prof Scardovi didn’t record any lectures, has messy handwriting, and uses a damn chalkboard instead of modern technology like other profs do. The midterms and final were somewhat lenient compared to the lectures, but this course still ended up being my lowest mark.
ECE361 Computer networks I
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 9/10 Course Average: B
This course requires a lot of memorization compared to other courses. You’ll have to understand calculation processes but also memorize a lot of general knowledge about networks. A problem with this course is that some concepts that show up in tests are not adequately explained in lectures. By far the best way to study is to do past exams. Professor Valaee often recycles questions, sometimes even directly copying past midterms and finals (like he did in my cohort). Unlike other courses, there is no big assignment/lab for this course, but it makes up for it with quantity. There’s a quiz every week, a wireshark lab every 2 weeks, a programming lab every 2 weeks, and a midterm. The programming labs are already difficult by themselves, but this cumulative workload felt very overwhelming.
ECE472 Engineering Economics and Entrepreneurship
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B+
This is straight up an economics course, no engineering at all. You’ll learn about investments, equity, financing, and related areas. There are 4 quizzes throughout the semester, with quiz 3 (quiz 3 specifically) being by far the hardest (average in the 50s). Since you're able to bring your textbook to the quizzes and exam, my biggest tip is to write past quiz and exam solutions in your textbook, as there's a limited pool of questions, and new questions often resemble some kind of variation of past ones.
ECE421 Introduction to Machine Learning
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: unreleased
While the course content itself may be challenging, surprisingly, the midterm and final exams were pretty easy. There's a slight discorrelation between the lecture material and what appears on the exams, but relying on past exams for preparation should be enough. The course leans heavily on mathematical concepts, much more so than APS360. The assignments were difficult and tedious but I recommend you work with others to complete it.
With that, I've covered my thoughts and tips for all the engineering courses I've completed. Transitioning into your next year in engineering, particularly if you’re transitioning from high school, can feel daunting. However, remember that you're not alone in this experience – many of your peers are facing similar challenges. If you need any more advice or have questions, feel free to reach out to me via DMs!

I have a phobia of math but I feel like it's mental but I'm afraid of failure and its being holding me back. I really struggled in high school to grasp concepts and had a very hard time getting through algebra 1 which I genuinely couldn't. The teachers I had would show everything on the powerpoints then go forward and I couldn't keep up and just fell behind. But everyone else was caught up that's the thing. Is my phobia just from bad experience? I got some concepts but only on one to one teaching. My mind is very logical and I love puzzle games and solving them. What are some resources to start learning foundations and build up on?

i have algebra 1 MCAP soon and was wondering if anybody had any study resources. i tried the practice test they give you but my memory could not work for the life of me. i’ve been trying to look over past notes and worksheets but i’m someone who learns best by doing. anybody have a good study guide, website, youtube video, etc. they suggest? thanks :]

Hey! I am currently in my senior year of college in early education k-3 and double majoring special needs K-12. I start student teaching next year (winter of 2025) and then I have another year of student teaching for special needs I am predicted to graduate in the next 2 years or less. I work as an assistant preschool teacher in a daycare and have been in many school placements at schools for my degree.
In classes we've made lists of books, need, and ideas for our classrooms. A few months ago my lead teacher at my daycare left suddenly and took lots of classroom materials with. I filled in with a few cheap pieces like some kids books I really wanted, quick and easy matching games, puzzles, and a few other things for me (my own laminator, etc). Which I plan to take when I leave.
With my student teaching coming up next winter I really don't want graduation to sneak up on me and not have anything for applying at schools or items for my first classroom wherever that may be! I have already started saving some worksheets i've laminated from classes as well as lesson plan prompts I have done (I know everyone says they never use them but just encase). I don't want to be preparing stuff that won't be used. College tends to tell education majors to basically store junk tbh...
My question is for recent graduates or current teachers what you felt was an immediate need for your first year classroom, or applying to schools? I am fortunate enough to live at home and not pay excessive amounts in tuition so I have the occasional money to spend aside with having plenty of savings and the room to store things. I work a lot next to school so I wanted to take the time this summer while I have no classes to prepare as much as I can!
Thanks!

TLDR: I want to be a theoritical physicist, my bachelor's is not STEM. Any advice please?
Hi. I have an "applied arts and sciences" degree from MIU, and basically it means I didn't do a real major, I just got enough credits to graduate and did all the gen eds. I have a great gpa though because my transcript gpa only factors in my MIU classes which was the last year and a half of my five years of college where I got my act together.
I have been an elementary school teacher since then, next year is my third year. I want to be making the next step happen. I would be going for a fall 2025 college unless there's something I can do online part time fall 2024. Chat gpt says to look into extension programs or formal post-baccalaureate programs. It suggests various ones for pre med or computer science or mathematics. Don't I need to take physics classes if I want to go for a masters next? Is a masters the next step after this? Are some phd programs made for bachelor degree level education? But most importantly what is the immediet next step? I am making 30k, I am scared about financially screwing myself. But I'm 25 rn and I don't want to regret not following my heart early.
Last question, I love math a lot, I do it for fun all the time. I particularly like math puzzles, but I like learning math from textbooks too. I did this with college algebra, calc 1, linear algebra, and discreet math which I loved so much more than the other three. I have had in my mind for the last five or so years that I want to be a theoritcal phsyicists, particularly in quantum physics. Now I'm scared I'm assuming that because I love math I'll love theoritical physics. Any thoughts on how I can be more sure if this is the career path for me?
Thank you so much for reading this! Any thoughts or advice would be strongly appreciated.

Hi, I'm hoping to go back to school in the fall with college math classes. So I'm going through algebra again with the help of Professor Leonard (absolutely amazing) and other online resources.
I'm really trying to understand the math/formulas I'm learning, rather than just memorizing the formulas which is what I did a decade ago learning math.
So, in standard form m = -a/b. Rather than just memorize that, I want to understand why which is where I'm struggling.
If I get two points from the standard form equation, and use m = y2 - y1/x2 -x1 I get the same slope as m =-a/b, so I know it has to be true that it -a/b works. The y2 - y1/x2 - x1 version I get. Rise/Run which is based on the difference between the two points' X and Y axis on the line.
So why is it that in standard form -a/b works? It feels like that's saying opposite run/rise? I realize in this form we are using the coefficients of x and y rather than a specific point's x and y values like in the other format so it must have to do with that.
Bonus question if you have time -- I was playing around with a simple equation from a worksheet: 2x + 4y = 5. I found that after getting the slope and a point from that equation, and putting that in point-slope format, and then going back to standard form, I got 1/2x + y = 5/4 as my standard form equation. Which equates to the same line as the original problem. I can then multiply both sides by 4 to make it be the exact same as the original equation. So my question is are both of those equations of the line equally "correct"? They are the exact same line. Couldn't we then have an infinite number of line equations as long as we were doing the same thing to both sides of the equation? The writer of the original equation I'm guessing just got rid of the fractions to make it an easier question?
Thank you very much for any insight you can provide!!

I was talking with a former student of mine (Calc 1, has since taken Calc 2 and part of first-quarter linear algebra) who has been puzzling with finding the volume of a cone by integrating over diagonal cross sections, and floated the idea of finding him some other problems to work on. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of giving him some basic proofs to try but would appreciate any other ideas!

I make puzzles and worksheets for students in Canva. For games like crossword puzzles and mazes, I make them in Excel, download them as pdf, screenshot them, then paste them as a photo into Canva where I can add graphics and make them look more fun.
I've been doing this for a couple years now and everything has always looked great. However, I'm printing a newly created batch today and now all of a sudden there's a light gray background printing behind these imported photos.
I'm flattening the document before downloading, and on the screen you do not see this gray shaded area. Why would this be printing?

I just need to post this somewhere so I feel like I am being held accountable at least even if its just in my mind. I have been constantly trying to pursue things i want to get good at, but after a good 4 day streak, I constantly get distracted by youtube and other minor distractions. So for the next 30 days, I am going to cut out all the distractions. I will be blocking all social media including reddit right after I post this with cold turkey(so I wont see comments).
I figured the idea that a few 10 people knowing that I am trying to work(even if no one sees this) would keep me on my toes hence this post.
Here’s the things I’m grinding:
Python Leetcode: I have already started with data structures and have learnt how linked lists work as well as recursion which I’m trying to wrap my mind around. I like the idea of learning to solve puzzles using code.
Web development: My goal is to build some website ideas I have had for a long time I don’t expect to reach there in 30 days but I want to at least build a habit. I have started a course on udemy that tackles web dev and I have delved into the basics of html and now css.
Calisthenics: I used to go to the gym consistently but I moved and now there is no gym near me but I have recently become really interested in calisthenics. Seeing those guys defy gravity is so cool and I wanna reach that level. Right now, I have no access to a pull up bar or a gym due to where I live but I plan to practice pushups and learn handstand till I get access to a gym( in a month)
Dance: So recently I watched a Korean show called street woman fighter where dance groups competed and it was so good it convinced me to try dancing and I actually started and learnt a few shuffling and afrobeats moves online, but I stopped being consistent so I wanna get back to practicing its also a great cardio.
Cubing: I can already solve a rubiks cube with a basic method but ever since I found out from a cuber friend that getting my country’s rubiks cube speed record by the end of the year is doable if I practice enough, it has become a goal of mine to reach there. I am now memorizing beginner OLL and PLL CFOP.
Reaching 100 wpm in typing: When I was a kid I was always fascinated by people who could type fast but I never learnt touch typing till last year, and now I am trying to reach 100 wpm. My fastest speed on monkeytype is 84 wpm and it was on the 50 words mode with no timer
Art: As a kid I loved to draw but I suddenly stopped when I was 12 and now at age 19 I picked up art again and I was actually consistently drawing everyday for almost 30 days and improved A LOT.( u can see a bit in my post history). But I got addicted to social media again a ruined my sleep schedule, and I lost motivation to do anything, but now I wanna get back into it.
Python general: I learnt python through a course called 100 days of python on udemy. But I never completed it so I want to complete it for the fun of it. Eventually I want to dive into some ai stuff since I have funny project ideas for that
Linear algebra: This is a course I will be taking in future. I also find it fascinating so I figured learning it a little day by day will help me better equipped when college starts.
Duolingo for fun: I know duolingo isn’t the best way to learn a language but I have no strong urges to tryhard the languages I am learning but I think having a long streak would be cool and fun. The main languages I am doing are Japanese(I love to read manga) and French(I grew up learning it and can speak a bit not very fluent though)
Obviously only working can be destructive so I added a little fun to my goals. I enjoy playing rhythm games like osu, arcaea. So I’ll be playing those for fun once in a while. I guess and maybe watch a movie here and there. Or read.
Damn if you actually made it here thanks. And yes I do have a schedule that organizes all these pretty well in a day . I have so many ideas on my mind I keep having daily. My goal in life really is just to bring ideas to life and hopefully these next 30 days helps me get closer to that. Will be back to report.
