because that's going to make a huge difference.

I can't remember what that is, but I'm pretty sure I remember there were about 12 seniors in that whole department when I graduated a year ago.

Protip: Homework should be your lowest priority. Make sure you're on top of everything else in the class then your homework will be easy anywayz

Get to know your professors. Syllabus's are guidelines. No rules are actually rules.

from my experience:
chemical/textile engineering = textbooks are very helpful considering most profs base their tests off of the info in them (rather than JUST lecture material). Professors also seem to be more energetic in these fields, so take am classes if you can.

ee/ce = go to class and have lots of geeky friends. for some reason there's a lot of competition among peers in these courses.

me/ce/ae = go to class and definitely do the hw. sign up for a class that also does distance ed and the prof may give you access to the distance ed website, making it possible to review previous lectures at home! Tests tend to be the same problems as ones covered in lecture (or very similar) with just different numbers or units. If the prof is daring and puts questions covered in hw and not lecture, the students will bitch.

ie = homework, homework, homework.

bme = all of the tips above

bae = i have no idea

CE 214
CE 215
CE 325

... yea, hire me, made A's in all these classes

i wouldn't pay or bribe anyone to do your work or even to help you (unless it's reviewing a paper or something). Study groups are important especially if you have no idea what the prof says during class (sometimes accents are fairly strong), and there are always people in your classes getting toegether to study. and TA's are already getting paid, so just go see them.

I don't understand why anyone would go out of their way to AVOID a solutions manual... Unless it is because they can't trust themselves not to peek at it before they finished the problem.

If you use the solutions manual on homework problems that you've been assigned, that's cheating.

But if, like me, you try to do as many problems as you can do, even the ones that are not assigned, the solutions manual is invaluable for checking work and verifying that you're not practicing it wrong.
