It's my 4th choice. I am surprised I already got 3 offers so quick.

I have applied to study Law.

If you have already got an offer from your top 2 you can make you choices before everyone gets back to you iirc.
 
Just started a Technology Management degree for working technologists. It is part-time and online. Distance education seems great so far!

After this I'll consider an Education degree or something like an MBA. I think I'd like to head towards teaching or government work...
 
1st Semester is done. Failed two subjects, Linear Algebra and Applications to Science and Engineering (writing stuff on MATLab). Finished both with 8/20. I passed Calculus with 14/20 and still waiting on two results, Chemistry and Physics, but I should pass both in part thanks to the laboratory grades. Could've done much better. For now I'll have to take two final all in exams on both failed subjects. They'll count as 100% to my final grade.

Actually a teacher changed my grade, Was an 86.5, she changed to it to 71... Then i emailed her she changed it back to 87... :lol:

Must be an error. Got 60 but my the highest of my class is 75. Ussually its arround 85 to 95.

Real suspicious if you ask me. Maybe got wrong on the exam cheking process or it has a complicated system to determine final score. All i know is that i am really confident i can finish all the exam and the assignment. I've even check to the textbook to find my score would be a pass, arround 80 or 75. Its not particularly the most difficult subject of entire class.

All i know is that the lecturer/teacher is a sadist one (you know, hard to please and Über strict), and i got screwed for having to re-take this crap. Try to protest my score but scared that if my score isnt proven wrong, i got minus 20.

Screw my life.
 
I had a 58 in a Company level Ethics class because the teacher didn't register in his list two out of the four tests that we had during the semester, luckily, I had all of them in my backpack.

My grade was corrected to an 84.
 
Semester is not going well.

I have a bunch of activities and papers due on Tuesday and I haven't done any, mainly because I have no idea on what to do, I'll get them done tomorrow, regardless if I get less sleep than I usually do or not.
And I had the lowest grade in test (37.5 out of 100, the highest was a 97.5) in my class, in fact I was the only one who didn't pass the test, it was from a Systems class I'm not interested at all, but I have to bump up the grades as much as I can to get the best schedule possible. have other papers to do for other subjects but I'm quite advanced on them and they're due on thursday. Still I'm confident I'll be able to get all my homework done and eventually pull a decent semester, better than the last one.

I have a 1 more semester left at this community college, then im planning to transfer to Concordia University in Montreal, for Computer Science, or Computer Engineering. I'll figure out soon :).

I'm taking up Computer Science right now and I'd say it's pretty fun, and while the workload snowballs pretty quickly, it's always satisfying to get things done.

In terms of choosing between the two degrees, I'd say it depends on what you prefer. Computer Engineering mixes a bit of hardware and software design while Computer Science leans towards software and computer theories.

Thanks for the clear up 👍
 
My semester is going well, much better than the first. I found out I only have 3 mid term exams, Calculus 2, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics (physics). The other two are only final exams Technical Desing and Materials. For now, work load is slim, but there are two subjects that give a bit more work, Materials and Mechanics, the others are perfectly doable.
 
Just finishing mid-exam. Im scared to see the scores due to somewhat messed up the minor details due to time constraints, especially math since one minor fault means entire thing false even with correct steps.

Dunno, just really scared about what future I hold.
 
I'm surprised i'm passing all my classes this semester, finals week upcoming next 2 weeks...

:guilty: What im worried about is Pre-Calc and Astronomy.
 
It has been a very slow and easy semester. Last week I had my mechanics mid-term. I only studied properly in the morning of the same day. It went well. Waiting on resulta though.

Pretty sure I'm retaking Calc 1 this fall. This time with a much better professor that isn't socially awkward and throws out extra credit like how Sallie Mae throws out interest. School screwed me over by making me skip Calc in the fall meaning I'm a semester behind the engineering curriculum.
 
Probably gonna have to take a semester's worth of unsatisfactory (both myself and the school's requirements) courses again. At some point, my parents are going to need to realize that the other one in the house can do just as much as I can, and to leave me alone...
 
On the bright side, my school allows you to retake courses with a grade below a C- so yay, I'm safe. It erases the previous GPA hit too.
