How to ace Calc

For me, my hardest subject was without a doubt Math. Math 140, Math 133, Math 141, Math 263, Math 264, the whole thing seems like one big blur right now. I honestly have no idea how I got an A. Actually I do. I remember failing almost every assignment and quiz at first. But then I found YouTube. I know it seems so stupid, but ask yourself, do you actually get everything the Prof teaches? You have to attend every class and study everyday to get a word he says. At least for me, my Prof only focussed all his attention on the top 5 bright students and no one else. I hated it, it’s like the rest of the class didn’t exist.

Anyway, so ya, YOUTUBE! I searched for everything I didn’t understand there and watched explanations of how to do it. From the fundamental theorem of calculus to advanced integration, you had real geniuses teaching you online. They made things 10 times easier than the textbook can ever. If you’re in Math 133, you probably don’t get anything right now – Wikipedia is your friend. At first, there were these guy who’d shoot the answer in like 2 minutes while you spent three days trying to figure it out. But after Wikipedia, I could shoot the answers 4 times faster than they could. How? Cause wiki makes stuff simple. They don’t teach you the entire formula, only the condensed version of it.

TAs are also the best people to go to. I often got stuck with my COMP assignments and they were so friendly that they`d not only find the problem with my programs but actually correct them as well. Though you sometimes get these horrible TAs that just want to screw you over like their TAs did them. Ha-ha.
