Ordinary Differential Equations
I'm taking this class, ODE, because Dr. Brown, the math co-ordinator at Dal told me to take it. I don't really know what's going on it it. I couldn't finish the first assignment because I simply didn't know how to do the last three questions. I got out my calendar today to see if it was a requirement for my degree (its not) and saw that there was a course that's a pre-req that I don't have. I emailed my prof and he said the class isn't a pre-req, its a co-req, and if I knew how to do these two things (I know how to do one of them) I'd be fine, and that it wasn't a big part of the course anyway.
I didn't know what to do. Its two weeks in and I'm pretty lost. I know, mostly, what my prof is talking about when he says it, but when it comes to doing the work, I have no idea what to do. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to make it through. I'm only taking 4 classes right now though, so if I drop it, I drop down to part time. And then I have to give OSAP back a bunch of money. Well, they'll just give me less next term. And I'm not sure I'd qualify for bursaries. And if I drop the class now, I'll only get 75% of my money back for it. Again, why I couldn't have looked this stuff up on Friday, I've no idea.
I'm going to talk to an adviser in the morning. But if the course is just a co-req, my situation isn't as dire as I'd originally thought. But I really don't know if I'll be able to do it. I had these thoughts at the start of my last compy sci class, and I got through that one alright, but I had A LOT of help. I don't know anyone in this class.
Fuck.
