Academics - Other Topics genetics (bio 305)

Upvotes

Anyone who took BIO 305 in the summer last year or even the year before please help me out. Does it get better? I did everything and my score for the first exam is disappointing. I’m above the average but that’s not what I was aiming for. Plus they say it was supposed to be the easiest exam and the avg was 69 🫩

Academics - Other Topics Quick laundry survey for my ES 414 course project (U-M students & Alum, ~2 min)

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm a U-M student finishing research for my ES 414 course project. It's about how people keep track of their laundry (forgetting a load in the machine, walking down to the laundry room only to find it's still going, dealing with shared dorm/apartment machines, etc.) We're testing a possible product idea, and campus laundry is basically the perfect use case.

It takes about 2 minutes and asks for no personal info.

Would really appreciate your take: https://tally.so/r/KYNGYz

Thanks, Go Blue!

Parking / Transit How does parking work?

1 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman who is dorming and I already have a car. I also have a job lined up in ann arbor buts it’s kinda on the outskirts so i’d like to be able to drive back and forth, plus I currently live like 30-40 minutes away so I would like to keep it to come back home. I’ve heard that passes are only for juniors and seniors but i’m pretty sure that through the school and was wondering if the city had parking or anything like that. any info helps.

1 Upvotes

Has anyone taken physiol 404? I have to take it since I’m pre pa but I’m nervous because I looked at rate my professor and the ratings are terrible. I’m technically still on the waitlist bc apparently the class is reserved for graduate students? But I don’t know anyone personally who has taken it and I have a lot do pre pa/premed upperclassmen friends so I’m curious ab this course bc I’m also taking orgo at the same time

Academics - Other Topics EE Sophomore Course Planning

1 Upvotes

Im a rising sophomore planning to declare EE and am interested in the embedded/chip design paths (looking at EECS427 for MDE).

Now that I am done most of my core classes (math115/116, phy140/240, engr100/101, chem130, some IB/geneds) I am struggling to figure out which course path will best prepare me for internship recruiting.

I have no incoming credits so a little worried about the workload over the next few years. Here is my tentative course plan, id love some thoughts and improvements.

Soph Fall: math215, eecs280, eecs215, tchnclcm300, 4 cr IB

Soph winter: math216, eecs270, eecs216, eecs200, 2 cr IB

Junior fall: eecs301, eecs230, eecs320, ioe202(flex tech)

Junior winter: eecs312, eecs300, ULEE, 4cr IB

Senior fall: eecs427, eecs400, tchnclcm496, 4cr flex tech

Senior winter: ULEE, 3cr flex tech, gen eds

Miscellaneous lanyard or badge reel poll

help settle a friendly and sorta dumb debate among my friends: does a lanyard or badge reel give off more “grad student vibes” (i.e; you see two identical people and one has a lanyard and one has a badge reel, which one are you guessing is a grad student)

Social Welcome Week Parties at 17?

0 Upvotes

This is such a non issue to ask about, but I thought I might as well 😭 Are freshman who are still 17 by the time welcome week roles around still allowed into the parties?? Because I see a lot of posts on social media that they’re only 18+.

Hey so I'm going to be a junior and wanna know if this looks doable. Keep in mind that I will be having an internship as well that requires 20 hrs a week (which is why I crammed the labs for one day lol).

Do you guys have any tips or heads up or time commitments for the classes I'm taking [ME350,ME320,EECS314]

Thanks!
