| cs33...it's umm...the worst possible thing you can imagine
for example, and I quote this one dude i sat around in class: "this class is like getting raped while doing multivariable calculus...i can think of nothing worse...sorry"
cs31 taking up the whole 3 hours? you'd wish you had twice that amount of time for the cs33 final
and phys labs in community college, they're great...you go to a room for the lab, the teacher talks about the lab and writes up the necessary formulas/equations and you follow a lab manual or just do what the teacher said...they're not super hard (at least most of them aren't) and you have a group of 3-5, doesn't get any better than that..you actually work with people...unlike in cs classes here...antisocial trends... | |

| I bet your community college Physics labs weren't curved. | |

| It's kind of difficult to learn with lab in groups of 3-5, isn't it? I am imagining an electronics lab, and a group of people hovering over the equipment while one person does the task ...
But one suit of some CCs are that they teach you things UCLA does not .. most transfers engineering students have used breadboards and o-scopes before ... while some UCLA engineering students finish their lower division courses without knowing what these equipment are (or even know/remember how they look like) ... this knowledge being useful is another story .... | |

| Hi flopsy. Please let me know if the following schedule will be too much for winter quarter:
Math 33B
CS 31
EE 101
EE 1
EE 2
Don't want to end up getting raped as I heard the CS series are very tough. Please let me know. Thanks! | |

| Thank you!
EDIT: Is it OK that I drop EE1 instead? (I might get credit for that), or is EE101 THAT difficult? Thanks again!

| EE1 is a prereq to EE2, but they are letting me take EE2 because I took an "equivalent" course to EE1 at my old college. Since I felt it was a dumbed down version, I wanted to take EE1 again here to be more prepared for EE2, and since I already have the basics for EE1, taking it again won't be too bad. | |
