In first year engineering, you have to take a physics course a chemistry course, a pair of engineering courses, calculus one and calculus two, two english courses and a first year elective

quasi oasis Mar 15, 2026, 12:09 AM

true

hoary quartz Mar 15, 2026, 12:09 AM

#

Essentially, for the english courses.There's a bunch of professors, and some professors are absurdly hard.And strict and other professors are really easy

#

So you just have to roll the dice, and hope you get the right professor

#

And the thing is, it's always different.Every semester so it's not the same set of professors

#

So nobody who's older than you can actually help you

quasi oasis Mar 15, 2026, 12:09 AM

elfin swallow there are very few jobs that give u 60 without a degree

elfin swallow if they really wanna catch my spelling errors and enforce grammar rules

That's what they're going to do

#

That is what all your engineering courses are going to do

#

Literally, every course you're gonna do at this school is gonna do that to you

#

Because they're going to try and get you to start writing like an engineer

#

Which is really critical thinking, very indepth analysis and understanding the scope of your work and projects

#

Technical writing and academic writing are so very hard

hoary quartz Mar 15, 2026, 12:16 AM

You need to have a technical objective. The materials and tools used, the results, and then a discussion, and future explanation for what can be done

#

And you have to do that all in one page

#

On top of this, you have to have figures and graphs, all referenced

But those can go to be longer than one page

ye writing it is not fun

hoary quartz Mar 15, 2026, 12:17 AM

#

Yeah, but it's based off of the lab.You do, and they kind of just don't set it up well

#

Because essentially, since you are doing the lab, but you're literally just following the procedure.You aren't doing anything of variation

#

And the lecture doesn't accurately explain what you're doing

#

So when you actually get to the lab report, they're expecting a much higher level of conceptualization.And understanding of the situation, much more than they actually allow you to have through teaching.And presenting the information in the lab

elfin swallow Mar 15, 2026, 12:17 AM

hoary quartz Mar 15, 2026, 12:20 AM

#

So later on, it's going to become a thing that you're gonna have to focus on

#

You're not doing this lab that i'm doing, because you're trying to do a whole different major

#

But lab reports are usually trying to see high level of understanding of the processes that went through in the lab

#

Which means that, over time, you're gonna develop your english skills.And you're also gonna have to understand how to explain the process in a way that isn't just rambling on.And fluffy fashions
