That's some funny stuff!!!

I took controls during the summer, there wasn't enough time for the professor to assign any projects

There's another little tidbit of advice I forgot about, take the hardest classes during the summer. There isn't enough time to cover all the crap they normally do during the semester, so it's usually a little easier. Plus you have class every day (I suggest only taking 1 ME class each summer session) so it's easier to keep on top of everything.

That is unless you get a prof that tries his hardest to cram everything in the shortened summer schedule.

Calc is all about he proffessor. If you have a good prof then the class is much easier but a bad one makes it difficult to pass. I liked physics but chemistry is what bit me in the ***.

I've been out for 7 years now and I wish I could remember a fraction of what was taught.....I think I may have drank too much Wow it's hard to believe it's been that long....I miss binge drinking

Sorry.......He is actually a hell of a nice guy. He just doesn't have his teaching methods down yet. You can go to his office and ask a question and all he will do is beat around the bush making you figure it out. Isn't that the purpose of asking a question, you need help?

My best prof did that. I had him for a few courses throughout my engineering classes. During the first year I couldn't stand the way he beat around the bush. As I grew and became more mature I realized he was my best prof I ever had. He wasn't there to give out answers, he was there to make you think and figure it out on your own.
