F is for Failure.

[Lavabug]

FAIL.

Yes. Just walked out of my last exam. Fuck that was lousy. Looks like I'll have a busy summer cramming 4 subjects, hopefully it won't be 5.



Now that I think of it I've never failed any classes before. I feel... rebellious.



How did you cunts do in your exams?

[ANGEL OF DESEASE]

[bills bro]

my whole time at college was complete failure.



i've been done for a week now, started applying for jobs

[-M-]

I have matrix test tomorrow and integrals on sunday. I have 2 exams (Basics of Management and Databases) next weekend and 2 more exams (Maths and Macroeconomy) week after.

[jawn galliano]

i still have 2 finals to make up out of four in total, i got an A on one (and for the course, which i think was my professor being incredibly generous) and not sure on the other yet.

[djonni greazo]

mine start in 10 days:



complex analysis

metrics and integrals

numbers theory

set theory

mathematical methods in physics (translation: "analytical mechanics + partial differential equations")

Yeah I had a test on that also, linear algebra and differential eq's, I thought I knew it pretty well since I was able to do all the tests from previous years fine but then I saw this one. What are you majoring in btw?

[Noyka]

I got As on all three, no excuse not to considering all I took was chemistry 002 (which is like highschool chemistry), anatomy (I'm excited to get to physio in the fall), and English 1B (another comp class).



I'm not looking foreward to summer chemistry, it's not for a grade though so it shouldn't be too bad since there's no pressure.

i am not sure if our educational system is quite the same as others', but i'll (hopfully) be finishing my first 3 years in mathematics (BA?) this summer and then 2 more years in computational mathematics (pretty much just programming with some math and maybe some more "mulitmediatic" stuff)

That whole "fuck school" mentality is a real shitty attitude to have.





Anyway, I didn't take a class this semester. I'll be back in the fall and going to take some sort of an art history class.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man]

provided financial aid can throw me a pretty hefty bone, I might be atttending culinary school come october

Cool, I had a feeling you had to be in mathematics or physics. Why the BA instead of BS may I ask? While I was in America I never understood why universities had separate BA/BS's for science careers like bio, phys, maths etc. if it's still science.



I'm studying environmental science (4-year BS in America, 5 years over here), but after I pass these courses in September I *might* consider switching over to Chemistry.

[jawn galliano]

i really don't get the distinction either. i know at my particular school, and in my particular major, the difference in requirements between a BS and a BA is an extra semester (maaaybe two tops) of foreign language instruction. both are still the same number of credit hours and have the exact same major requirements, why even bother with two separate degrees

[Redd]

I haven't taken any of my finals yet, but I had a verbal test in Italian a few days ago. I got a 65.

[djonni greazo]

i have no idea what a BA or a BS is (and there is no distinction/you cannot choose here in croatia, first you finish 3 years and get a worthless piece of paper that won't get you even a toilet cleening job and then you go on for 2 further years to "specialise" or whatever so you can get your "proper" diploma, alothough i guess it's called a "major" now), i just saw that most/all people in other countries reference to their first 3 years as a BA study so i drew an analogy. what do those 2 acronyms mean, anyway? bachelor of? (anus? sex? atrocities? sepultura? what?)

[jawn galliano]

bachelor of arts, bachelor of science



they're the basic post-secondary four year degrees. there's also an associates degree, which is a two-year post-secondary program, which tend to be on the vocational/practical side of things. you can't get into graduate school (e.g., masters or doctoral (Ph.D, MD, etc.) programs) here unless you have a BA/BS (or equivalent for international transfers).

[Lavabug]

Did some web searching, apparently BA's have less mathematics and computer science courses than BS's, and are a common choice for people who want to educate. BS's look better on resumes for research/more technically demanding jobs. Don't see how you can have less math with a math career though. People with math degrees have really high paying jobs in top banks and stuff, at least over here it's one of the most lucrative careers you can study.



No BA/BS difference over here, though that might change now since the entirety of higher education is adapting to the European model (4-year Bachelors, instead of 5 years), can't complain really, 4 years sound way more reasonable than 5.

F is for formulas, end of.

the European model (Bologna process): 3-year Bachelors+ ~2-year master's

I don't want to go up to my ears in debt so I sard this further schooling. I've done well to stay out of debt so far but to advance in the steel industry, I need some chemistry classes (that I'll probably pay for out of pocket).

[Haunty]

I'll F you for Failure, buddy.

[Hugo.]

I passed all my exams. I was pretty chuffed considering i needed an A in one exam to pass a class. I just wish i had more cash in my pocket at the minute

[M.Bison]

I didn't pass any of my exams and rebelled from doing the rest of my GCSE's like a dumbass... I fucking hate our education system and schools, you don't learn a thing and they are totally unfair. to school.

Chemical engineering/science bachelor or some kind of associates degree? I don't know how it is in America but I have an associates degree in environmental chemistry and it's not particularly useful for anything, I did learn a lot but you still end up being considered underqualified for any kind of sophisticated lab/industry job. It's really much better to go the extra mile and get a bachelors.



Working in the metallurgy industry sounds pretty... metal.

Well I'm sure that at other foundries you'll need a bachelor's or higher, but where I am is probably not necessary. Just helps to know the extra facts about metallurgy to make doing the jobs easier.
