<p>Thanks for the opinions all! They were really helpful. I’m definitely going to enjoy my summer having fun. Forget the books! </p>
<p>I was afraid my skills would get rusty, but seeing that the placement exams come early during summer, I won’t have everything forgotten when I take them. </p>
<p>I just hope I’ll be able to snap back into action once school starts because I’ll probably forget > 50% of what I learned if I don’t review at all.</p>
<p>@fizix2 and @Dauntless9 –> I’ve made up my mind thanks to you guys. =) I’m planning to work full time over the summer at a lab and go on a family vacation trip sometime in between. My research mentor is confident that we’ll get a paper published this summer. Hopefully, this will facilitate my ability to get research opportunities at Tech. </p>
<p>@Hriundeli –> It’s surprising that your preparation of Math 1a amounted to nothing… Was it because you never got that far, the hw assigned required thinking and the book only presented the basics, or the profs already went beyond everything you prepared over the summer during the first week? I’m just really curious. That’s all.</p>
<p>@IMSAgeek –> How many hours of sleep do you get on average? By busy, do you mean stressed out busy because it’s hard to keep up or because there’s so much work to do in a short amount of time (a quarter/term is SO short and you’re expected to take classes that normally take 3-4x as long in high school) or both? Do you do homework constantly from the time you wake up, through your meals, to the time you go to bed? </p>
<p>Are exams doable? I know there’s a collaboration policy, but it doesn’t seem very ethical or fair to allow students this advantage for take home exams unless there is a part of the honor policy that I missed. Are there ever in class exams since most but not all exams are take home.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help once more, you guys! Keep me updated!</p>
