The lowest exam is dropped but that means I have to do well on the hardest material instead of getting the first exam. Ughughughughuguhugh

If you miss a second exam you have to do a “russian-style oral exam” where you’re given a problem and have to present the material

Tbhtbthbthbtthbh I might ask if I can do the oral exam because I’m really worried that without taking the exam I’m not going to remember the material

nyaaaaaaaaaaaaa nya nya nya
it might be a professor thing

the courses I had were:

discrete - actually I think we didn’t have notes in this class. everything was really easy though
calc 1 - professor 1, who only gave take home tests
calc 2 - this doesn’t count (I essentially sitting in so I didn’t have to do things)
calc 3 - professor 2, who allows note sheets
linear algebra - professor 1
modern algebra - professor 2
probability - other professor (IIRC we only got the formula sheets for the distributions and stuff)

I have a different professor for real analysis though
considering the 33 pages of homework I’ve had to do, I have my doubts on whether we’re getting notes :joy_cat:

also yeah i took calcs 1 and 2 in high school and am pretty sure we got zero note sheets. then
calc 3 - no notes sheets
foundations - not sure how you would even use notes sheets tbh. no.
linalg - no notes sheets
ODEs - i think we begged the professor for a formula sheet on one of the tests. and that’s about all we got. you’ve heard me talk about this class enough.
Discrete - no notes sheets. also easy.
Structures I - no notes sheets.
Number Theory - no notes sheets, and i distinctly remember having a meltdown during the final because one of the problems ended up being actually hard. still owned that class though.
Structures II - no notes sheets.
PDEs - we got a formula sheet for fourier transforms. also for the entire final we got it like a week in advance and i still bombed it because i suck at differential equations.
Advanced Calc I - no notes sheets.
Advanced Linalg - no notes sheets.

i don’t think i’ve ever gotten to handwrite a notes sheet/flash card for a math test

class where they teach you how to write proofs and also go over basic set theory stuff. prereq for basically every higher level math class
