Ya same... sometimes I wonder why I even write the notes. I know I'm never going to look at them again (since there is a 90% chance that Protoss is just transcribing the book right onto the board), but if feels like I'm doing stuff wrong if I don't :p.

Dude! We paid 8000 tuition for a talking textbook !! Thats high tech !

Taking notes makes me feel like Im actually doing something. I think its 100% out of the textbook and atleast this way missing the lecture isnt that big of a deal also makes the textbook worth it XD.

If it can help decipher 2nd yr eng math then Im willing to actually pay the $300 instead of just downloading it.

Nah, its too easy for it to do that
Plus, you get it for free if you're in eng through msdaa.

A word of advice on engineering (vector) calc: just do the problems, it's totally doable if you practice. You need to practice so much you can do it in your sleep, but you CAN DO IT.
Make me proud...

Do what I do when you have a big midterm/assignment and you have absolutely no time to mess around, lock yourself in a bathroom.

Well technically any science/engineering. Umm, just go ask the UTS people(or your department people) if you are eligible for this(you should be) and ask them to sign you up. You should get an email with the site and password.

EDIT: I decided to be nice and get you the site:

On the right you can sign up your department and do other things. Have fun.

first year took the life outta me.

dont start with the textbook..

i think the value of crap in that book is about equal the 1st yr physics book..just paragraphs and paragraphs of nonsense to go through..sheesh...

1st year physics was a binder of death, just by staring at its hugely binder with millions of 3 punched paper, just mocking you.
