No he came back and told us. He was pissed. Told the cop he had no reason to be asking that lol.

Apparently cops have been going around door to door in our neighborhood asking about people smoking weed lol

My bad didn't clarify- most med schools don't need it but for my university as well as most 4 year programs in Colorado require pre-calc and at least calc 1 for a human/cellular/micro biology, biochemistry, or equivalent degree.

Also, Just saw they revised the requirements and now I also need Physics for Life Sciences 1 and 2 plus labs for each. FUCKING HOORAY MORE MATH

at least physics is fun math

I don't understand that phrase. Is that english?

Physics wasn't bad. They curved our grades huge because the professor said the way he does tests if you get a c without the curve you should be a physics major since its the weedout class for physics majors

There's a general stigma against curving grades in my school. Last chem test was an avg of 72 for the class, the highest such one-test average in 3 semesters according to the professor, and she has never curved.

Can't say I have any experience whatsoever in physics though

What makes it fun? I just dislike math in general as a theoretical thing. Who cares what the tangent of a DTDS is in a book, I find myself much more engaged when I have to precisely create a certain molarity of something in a lab or when it is a real, tangible thing.

"fun" might have been the wrong word, but it was more enjoyable than straight up math. it was just easier to visualize and everything was more relevant and easily applied to real-world situations.

i feel like if its that consistently low its a professor issue

I agree entirely.

Unfortunately Im getting the vibe that super low grades in the chem department are a badge of honor in the way of colleges with super low acceptance rates

I had shitty professors for my 2 intro chem classes.

My professor for O Chem is alright.

There was a econ professor at my school who had taught for several decades and the year after I took one of his classes he was put on probation for failing too many students. His tests were just ridiculously hard and detailed for a 100 level class. Basically had to write perfect essays and include every bit of information from the lectures and his book (which by the way a huge scam because he wrote his own book and released a new edition every year with minor changes).

Basically if people are consistently failing the class or getting low grades every semester that means either the teacher is not teaching the material properly or is testing on it too hard.

depends on how the rest of the course is structured. I'm guessing that the lab counts for 25% of the grade, and there's typically no excuse for not having a very high lab grade, so there's a bump. is there a homework component? if so, another bump. I had a number of profs who would have very demanding exams, typical averages of 65-70, but the other components still made it so the average final grade was in the 75 neighborhood, right where it should be.
note: done right, tests should be hard. they should really make you stretch, and leave feeling mentally exhausted.

410-meter asteroid ‘may collide’ with Earth in 2032

http://rt.com/news/dangerous-asteroid-collide-earth-313/

A potentially catastrophic asteroid has been discovered by astronomers, who say there’s a slim chance that the 410-meter-wide minor planet will crash into Earth in 2032, creating a blast 50 times greater than the biggest nuclear bomb.

The asteroid, described as 2013 TV135, was found in the Camelopardalis (Giraffe) constellation by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in southern Ukraine, the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomers Union said.
