Here's what's helped me:

1) Make a clean study area -- when you're stuck you will look for anything distracting
2) light a candle -- aroma therapy helps, and if you feel stuck the flame can be a nice little escape
3) Put yourself in the professor's shoes -- it is impossible for him to ask you everything. The whole time you're studying trying to ask yourself what good questions would be.
4) vitamin string quartet -- it's classical music covers of popular songs without the lyrics to distract you. Or, listen to Rainy Mood -- you need some ambient noise or you'll go insane.


good luck .. feeling hopeless is terrible but try to overcome

Thanks for the suggestions. Don't think I'm gonna pass regardless, I tried to do 3) that you listed since midterm 1, didn't help, the prof is dropping hints in lecture, and I know he's gonna ask the more important stuff rather than everything that was cover, so it's best to study smart. Still the prof is sneaky as fuck. Probably gonna ask a real life question that will let us incorporate the concepts we learned. Plus we need to integrate lectures, and combine all the systems and look at it as a whole.

quite the contrary, I didn't struggle in first year, only in 4th year taking this damn course.

ochem? Are you in science?

What course is it?

Honestly, a lot of professors are very sympathetic to students -- you have no idea how many times I've gone to office hours the day before an exam only to realize I should've gone so much sooner. I've had professors spend 2-3 hours just tutoring me in private because no one else showed up.

Obviously YMMV but good luck!
Also, if it is a science class, ratemyprof is really good in terms of letting you know what you should focus on (sometimes.. but again YMMV)

Good luck.
We're all gonna make it brahs

Looks like theres finally "No Parking" signs up at that childcare place, eh?

Was gonna park there this morning, then noticed the signs

BrRsn 12-02-2013 10:23 PM
they're really getting gung-ho about towing parking violators/booting people
... i imagine it's gotten really bad because they got rid of the $3.50 all day parking

CRS sent me a snapchat of a brand new lexus getting booted :fuckthatshit:

click the clock on mac and change to analog
windows just right click taskbar and properties (or something) and you should be able to turn off the clock.


I literally just sat in my room and studied for about ~10 hours straight
:fulloffuck:
felt like 2-3 hours

Ever notice how every single thing on the internet is super fucking interesting when you have things due/to do (like studying)?

Yeah, welcome to procrastination 101.

As soon as your exam, paper, whatever is done, nothing on the internet will be remotely interesting.

@bmwx1 yes. IIRC, they interview/assess you before they let you enroll. I think they also check your HS transcript to see if you took Mandarin courses (for 101 at least). I know many people (including native Mandarin speakers) who faked the assessment and adjusted their accents throughout the course and didn't get caught. I also heard of a dude who picked up a call just outside the classroom doors and spoke with perfect mandarin and the teacher heard and dropped him (or maybe failed him) from the course.
