Initiation at programming
Electricity and Magnetism
Organic chemistry
Linear algebra and vectorial geometry (matrices)

I've already done all my regular classes since I,ve started the natural science program one year after I started college. Next year, if I'm lucky, I'm gonna attempt a bachelor in physics. I've got this displeasing feeling that I'm putting the bar way too damn High, but eh... I better try and fail than not try at all... and became a janitor.

Courses that'll be useful to you:
Linear Algebra and it's higher versions especially those that teach tensors, Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Methods (how to write programs to solve engineering and physics problems), technical writing, technical presentations, Mathematical Methods for Physics. That being said, you'll learn a lot of math just taking physics courses. Physics is tough but fun.

WELL THAT IS EASY, JUST ALWAYS TALK WITH BOLD CAPSLOCK IN COMIC SANS, AND PROBLEM SOLVED. NEVER WORRY AGAIN.

Lol, I would totally fuck with a class by trying to teach that.

Lets see, i just transferred from a $42k a year school to a $8k a year school, for financial reasons.

So my first semester at my new school is like re-peat stupid easy stuff:

Wellness (gym class)
Programming Languages (Java mostly, but a long winded collegiate discussion of the history of computers and their languages)
Data Structures (Lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, and associated algorithms, as well as intro to C++ mixed in)
Statistics I (stupid easy, don't know why I haven't taken this yet)

that's 15 credits.....

Not a single 400 level class among them, which was what I was taking before I transferred..... smooth sailing for me....

I tried it, but its one of those really really glad/happy/positive personality teachers whos really enthusiastic, which obviously super claches with my personality.

She actually tried giving me a 65% on an assignment. I was like WTF, look at my 4.0 GPA across 3 graduate schools and pre-med, you think ima let this 21 hundred class ruin my gpa?

Shes so fucking hippocratic, whole class is about making information easily accessable, yet for assignments insted of condensing everything for an assignment into one document, she litterally posts 4-5 documents and has them scattered all over moodle... Like seriously? Practice what you preach!?

Even worse, shes one of those whom does not convey her expectations, yet penalizes you for not meeting her expectations. Which is equivalent to saying jump, asking how high to jump, and her just saying "JUMP NOW", you jump, then she penalizes you for not being a mind reader and knowning to jump 3 feet high.

And yes, before anyone has the gull to try and say something along the lines of "you shouldnt need/be-in-the-habbit-of-needing expectations", wrong, unless you are doing something that has a standard template, expectations are open and undefined, so you need an idea of whats due and an expectation on what is wanted. For example all she says is "write a report" and gives the prompt, no mention of any specific formatting rules, then goes and deducts if its not 2 pages long (she never said shit about having to have 2 pages, its a fucking report, not an essay, go lookup report, report=brief summary) or other BS. For gods sake, i am taking 4k-5k level english classes. Its one thing, if she says write an essay and gives a prompt and expects the assignment to be in some standardized format like MLA or ALA, but she does not, she expects her own lil undefined made-up format. How the fuck am i supposed to know what the fuck her stupid format is if she wont tell me even when i explicitly ask?

So basically, she is one of those fuck-wits who teaches technology but doesn't properly understand it herself totally either? Moodle is pretty freakin' straight forward, I love it.

Poor Bunni. The closest thing I had to that was when I took my honors Medieval/Renaissance class. The only way to get an A was to be one of her 2 favorite students across the 3 classes she was teaching; so, you had a 1/20 chance of getting an A. I was one of the lucky ones...
