[quote=Anonymous]My first semester of Freshman year would have looked like that, but for the fact that I took Calc pass/fail. One thing I noticed was that, in college, Calc tests stressed how you set up the problem more than whether you could do the calculation. And tests had fewer but longer problems, so if you couldn't figure out what you were supposed to be doing on even one problem, your grade instantly plummeted. Big transition from HS for me and it took a midterm to even alert me to fact that they were testing different things. Homework had been similar to what I'd done in HS -- learn a technique and practice it.[/quote]
