We are a full week into our summer classes. It's been a long week, and feels like these classes have been going on for much longer. I'm not enjoying these classes. Medical terminology is going well, though there is no interaction between students or with the instructor. Chem 100 is just as anticipated. Most of the people in this class have had no experience with chemistry before, and since there seems to be quite a bit of math in these first few weeks, it has also become obvious that many of them don't have a ton of math experience as well. He assigns lots of homework, but that's ok since I am managing to do the homework and take notes on his lectures at the same time. He has done a great job at explaining significant digits, though it makes my math minded brain cray to be rounding off large parts of my answers.
Statistics..... I fear for my grade in this class. The teacher thus far is wholly unprepared and seems to be trying to get through by winging it. No syllabus, in fact he hasn't even looked through the book or other required materials. One minute he tells us that our grade is only from the 4 exams and final, then he gives us an assignment that he says will be graded. I guess I'll just keep trying to adapt.

I'd keep tabs on that stats prof. Sometimes a nicely worded letter to the dean is just the remedy for a better class experience. ;) Hope things turn out well!!! Is it a short, cram it all in fast quarter?
