go me
I have been 5 months smoke free! :-)
I have arrived in Lowell for the Summer and will be again co-oping with AMD. I start on Monday I'm glad this is the last co-op I will have to do. I walked last May 25th from RIT with highest honours! Though I still need to finish four classes in the Fall. This quarter was okay, I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but what can I do?
ESD III -B
German -B
Adv. Electronics -A
Network Technologies -A
quarter = 3.5
Overall = 3.763 (down from 3.806)
I anticipated the B in German, not in ESD though, I spent way too much friggin' time on that stupid class. The professor was really bad too. This was only his second quarter teaching at RIT. His response to most complaints was "That is how it is in the real world". We did not get _any_ grades back until week 6 (of 10!!!) which was only after a few of us complained to the office, then again in week 10 did he get us grades back for the midterm (week 5). He also isn't even a real professor he is an adjunct and NEVER was available outside of class. He was less than helpful. My grade was also less than a point from an A. I should have had an A too. He was a poor communicator (again when I asked about a grade that he dropped because he said all you need is the sign off, so I didn't do the writeup, I got the "real world" BS). frankly had he graded things punctually I would have realised that it was late not three weeks later but sooner. This class ate sooo much time.. A couple weeks I spent over 50 hours just on this one class (4 credits!!! WTF).
For the fall I am taking:
American Politics (last LA course)
Cryptography
Programming Language Concepts (PLC)
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Well time to find lunch.
