Look around your class, if pearce starts asking question, start to observe if your class knows the stuff. If they don't know the stuff, you are fine because midterms and final will have a low average. Typically around 50%. If you think you can study a bit more than others and beat the average, you are fine.

One good thing about pearce is that he cancelled 2 classes when he was sick and basically took out the last chapter we had to learn.

His writing is really ugly lol, which made me wanted to drop it too.

As for CMPT 150, the only macm recommended should be the use of the Laws.

For example. Demogan's.. Idempotent? Complement law and a few others.
You are certainly fine without macm 101 as well and my friend didn't have it too.


Ya I was looking at his writing.. I could barley read it. He had some notes he wroe earlier on paper and god.. I could NOT read the formulas... I had 2 guess half of them. I hope they are re-written in the book. All I know is I was pretty lost on the 1st day of classes. I haven't checked if anyone has dropped it yet.

The way I see it I might just push through it and see what happens. I mean I need this class and i rather not wait. I still have to take Macm 201, Math 151, 153?(the next calculas class). So I can't really hold back right now.

If I fail it.. at least I'll know "something" and hopefully do better later.

I looked up most of the Macm 101 classes. Only a few profs teach them. Mostly Pearce, Dixxon?(online) and another guy? I forgot his name.

Those are the main guys.

As for the class.. I couldn't tell if they were confused or not. I suppose so, because a lot of us haven't taken Calculas yet. I think only 50% or less have taken it.

I'm in IAT 100 too. I got scared by the first lecture cause it sounded so much harder than how everybody describes as a GPA booster.

I got experience with photoshop and flash so I think I can do it.
I just don't know anybody in my lab so when it comes to group projects, I'm kinda screwed.

Oh btw, I think I saw yushimi walk into my lab @ 10:30 today and walk out lol.

I hope IAT 100 is as easy as CMPT 165, though it requires way more work.. =(


I think CMPT 150 this summer is with Brad Bart, I had Brad for cmpt 120 before and I didn't really like him. I had Tony Dixon last term for 150. 150 is kinda hard and it uses some stuff from MACM 101. It requires a lot of work but I managed to pull a B+ in it.

Er...I don't think so? I stayed behind to ask the prof something but he wouldn't stop talking so I had to walk back? But I never actually walked out...I was really close to though rofl!! YOU SUCK, move to my tutorial (Fri 8:30am) lolz that guy is nice. Just ask him :) Doesn't hurt to ask..I don't know anyone in my tutorial either..it's full of .... fobby people who doesn't look like they know wtf they're doing...

I took macm 101 at the same time as I took math151. To me, math doesn't really help macm at all. As for the teachers, my friends took macm 101 with another teacher and apparently the average marks for that class was super high. Like 70% range. So I think taking it with a crappy prof would make the whole class average low and you'll pass for sure.

He'll tell you whats on the midterm and make sure you write it down. It will be on the midterm. You can probably go google the answers and just memorize them as well. That what I did for the final for one of the questions lol.

Some of the proofs are in the book and some are not. He re words them very badly. Sometimes he can't even read his own stupid writing. Thats how sad it gets... and he'll start guessing words too.

Good luck with math 151 and 152. Those pulled my gpa down.. got C both times =(

@yushimi

my friend is in your iat lab @ 8:30. It's too early lol.. I can't wake up that early and I got class @ 9:30 so it conflicts as well.

Fobby people who dont know what they are doing = higher grades for us xD i hope.

Thanks for the heads up.

ya I remember the 1st class he stared and his notes and said "wth!!!!" and then realized what he wrote and sighed... that kinda freaked me out... wow.. a prof that can't read his own writing LOL....

As for math.. i heard of Math 150? Supposed to be like 151, but easier and made for students who are new to Calculas. I hear for my program they may allow it now instead of 151... but I'll have to see. Apparently it has a better passing level than 151? They review during the 1st half and then learn the 2nd half.

Xeph820 05-16-2010 12:36 AM

what program are you in?

I heard for math 150, instead of having a slight review on the first day for math 151. They review for the first week and then start doing the same stuff.

I think most programs you can replace math 150 with 151. You can also replace an easier Math 157 only if you get a B in that class.

fuck! they changed the entrance to hwy 1 leaving SFU on Galardi!

I'm glad I'm gonna be outta here by 2020. :)

Basically, UniverCity is wiping out a whole bunch of lots and not replacing them for a few years, and we can expect an ~8% price increase per year.

So they're not removing any of G lot before 2017? LOLWUT

I thought they already closed the top lot, or is that temporary?

Well not really.

I saw it pouring today and thought crap.. And I went to my 2nd class.

I got out and it was dry and sunny.. got to van and it was the same.

Maybe you left earlier from the SFU campus.
