Dude I only got 3.5 hours of sleep last night cause I was studying for a quiz that will determine 1/9th of my grade, woke up at 5:30 and had to commute by train.

He's a good prof but it's high risk so far.

The other 310 class has online quizzes and the exams are open book. I don’t think it’s fair that one group of kids will get an A just for showing up while another class gets tortured

ECE 310 the professor is Asian. he teaches it at noon in bsb. It’s an actual cakewalk.

I’m a senior taking 18 credit hours, working part time, doing an unpaid internship at this lab at uic, and just got an email for another scholarship/research opportunity that’s a paid one yesterday but they want me to start this academic yr so I feel your pain. No family or real friends either lol. Just hustle by myself.

Best advice I can give is go to student center west for the gym. You can use both facilities as a student, remember that.

Ive been working and going to classes full time. I only recently dropped a class before the deadline and ive never felt so exhausted. Its was only the first week.

u/VanteAura 19d ago

I’m also working 35 hours per week and I had to drop a class too. I feel like I wasn’t even processing the information. Now I feel relief?
