Fun fun fun. The calculus 2 point system is much like calculus 1’s. There’s a total of 700 points.

300 points for 3 exams (100 points each)

200 points for homework

200 points for the final exam

What’s interesting is there’s no quizes. A math class without quizes? It just doesn’t seem right. Also interesting is with the homework. There’s only about 4 or 5 problems assigned per section. And out of those 4 or 5, only a few will be graded for accuracy. Of course, the prof recommends doing as many of the odd numbered problems as possible (which I plan to do within reason and time).

So far I’m doing great. I’m holding down zero points out of zero points.

The prof seems cool. He goes through the material pretty quick (which means no day dreaming!), but seems to do a good job explaining it from a couple different angles.

About half of the class is made up of students from my calculus 1 class. The other half seem to be made up of students who took calculus 3 and failed it or students who have taken calculus 2 several times already. I am really glad I don’t have to worry about calculus 3. Whew!

I picked up all my school supplies yesterday. Class is tonight. Hopefully I can make it all the way through this semester and survive.

Brilliant!

The silly parking pass fees are way too high. So it actually makes sense for part timers (like me) to skip buying a parking pass and just pay the tickets when you get them. Do the math, if a ticket costs $10 and a parking pass for 15 weeks costs $115, but you only visit the campus 2 times a week making for 30 total trips, it doesn’t sound too bad if you only get caught one third of the time. But the university has finally wised-up and is now charging $25 a ticket. For me, I guess this is good. I wish they’d lower the price for a parking pass instead and raised the price of the tickets…

Note to self: graduate ASAP to avoid this mess!
