Truth. But no hard feelings. Out of the three roommates I've had, the two engineers are some of my best pals, and the poli-sci guy is an ass. Freshman year I was tripled in Dickinson. Needless to say, tensions with poli-sci guy were extremely high by the end.Quote:

I'm not too into business but I don't want to be a waiter :cry: If I go that route and end up hating it maybe I'll try journalism in grad school.
Yeah, SOM will be a good idea. :pQuote:

This isn't common in your school?
Heh, I know people who've gone to tests with note cards taped to their arms and bodies
I mean, I copy other people's HW or the solutions manual or whatever every now and then but I still try to make an effort to learn the material that I'm copying. Most people don't do this, though, and just blindly copy and don't wind up learning anything. These people will leave after 4-6 years with a 2.3 and not be able to tell you how a transistor works. Oh well.
This isn't a problem, my professors let us bring in sheets with notes.Quote:

And putting trig stuff and the differences between seriies test in your calc is hardly cheating. In the end you still have to know how and when to do the work that uses the info you've stored. I'm not going to flunk a test because I can't remember sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 or the difference between P-Serioes test and the macloran test.
I do have one story about some kids cheating in our eng classes. In Physics 1 three guys stored every test question ever, with math, and final answers in their graphing calculators right before the final. The teacher knew they had done this with his amazing teacher mind powers. Right before he handed out the test papers, he took up their graphing calcs, and deleated the memory. One of the guys almosted puked.
i don't know why people major in such things then. They should just change to civil eng or something. I love that sort of stuff. I can't wait to get into it. I read about the differences between different tubes, transistors, etc, etc, for enjoyment.Quote:
