Bring it up with whoever you can. If you actually understand the concepts you shouldn’t be graded down

2018-01-30 05:14:51 UTC  

I might. My instructor is Asian with a broken accent of course. Yeah I've demonstrated that I understand how to do the concepts

2018-01-30 05:16:07 UTC  

Send screenshots or show photos of your work and really nail them down. Say “show me what’s wrong or the programming is bad”

2018-01-30 05:16:46 UTC  

If you have white TAs or even TAs that speak English use them

2018-01-30 05:16:56 UTC  

What's a TA?

2018-01-30 05:17:01 UTC  

Oh nvm

2018-01-30 05:17:02 UTC  

LOL

2018-01-30 05:17:07 UTC  

Sorry duh

2018-01-30 05:17:32 UTC  

Oh I thought it was joke, haha. You’re good

2018-01-30 05:18:16 UTC  

I got my STEM degree on the west coast so I know a thing or two about Asian “teachers”

2018-01-30 05:19:08 UTC  

This guy isn't even a "teacher" he just sits at his desk while we come into class to work on a $100 computer program

2018-01-30 05:19:12 UTC  

Straight up caught a Chinese born TA giving answers to a Chinese born student before the midterm in office hours

2018-01-30 05:19:25 UTC  

Wow

2018-01-30 05:19:49 UTC  

The educational system is welfare for people that want to pretend they have a job

2018-01-30 05:20:17 UTC  

That’s why it’s occupied by women at the lower levels

2018-01-30 05:21:02 UTC  

That and the fact that it is about nurturing children until about 6th or 7th grade

2018-01-30 05:24:52 UTC  

Yeah pretty much. At the lower level it's not too bad. But after that I can agree. I'm gonna have to see if there's any white TAs around lol

Was there a guy in here offering Calculus help

2018-01-31 15:17:35 UTC  

I may an hero if I have to listen to my 1st Gen immigrant instructor try to explain Calculus concepts without teaching how to solve problems.

2018-01-31 18:45:42 UTC  

@Corey

2018-01-31 18:46:48 UTC  

@Deleted User there are a few of us who can help with calculus. Personally I used to teach it for many years. What kind of problems are you trying to solve?

2018-01-31 19:17:28 UTC  

We started with limits and are moving into derivatives and tangent lines. It just seems like the instructor is getting high on his own supply of math knowledge and not teaching us a clear cut way to solve the problems.

2018-01-31 19:20:08 UTC  

He also doesn’t explain any rule he uses especially with algebraic manipulation which makes it difficult to follow.

2018-01-31 19:22:48 UTC  

I’m having trouble recognizing the problems and what rule to apply to find solutions

2018-01-31 20:41:56 UTC  

read the book along with the class

2018-01-31 20:42:09 UTC  

also, talk to the dept head maybe

2018-01-31 22:17:38 UTC  

Yeah right now I’m fairly reliant on the YouTube.

2018-01-31 22:30:04 UTC  

@Deleted User feel free to regularly post photos of problems you are working on

2018-01-31 22:30:23 UTC  

Sure when I hit a roadblock I’ll post a pic

2018-01-31 23:48:36 UTC  

@Deleted User Professor Leonard on YouTube has great videos for calc concepts. Also feel free to post pictures of problems if you want to.

2018-02-02 05:35:14 UTC  

this Professor Leonard guy is swole af

2018-02-05 22:19:24 UTC  

Does anyone here know Matlab? I’m taking a Matlab class and am super confused

2018-02-05 22:20:46 UTC  

@Sam Southern - TN I know *some* Matlab, what's up?

2018-02-05 22:21:54 UTC  

Driving rn, I’ll send what I’m working on in like 10. It’s basic (apparently lol), but I am not good at the cyber

2018-02-05 22:22:12 UTC  

Gen Z not being good at cyber hahah not living up to my gen I know

2018-02-05 22:24:17 UTC  

@Sam Southern - TN sounds good, post it when you can

2018-02-05 22:45:16 UTC  

1. Write a function (I'm calling it v) that takes in two scalars (a and b) spits out a vector (v) that is a row vector of the length b with the terms being the first a powers of b

2018-02-05 22:45:53 UTC  

So I tried to do someting like this:
function v = hw1_problem5(a,b)
b = length(v);
v = a.^b;
end

2018-02-05 22:46:34 UTC  

so that the function length would track with b and the vector would be that length

2018-02-05 22:46:54 UTC  

and the vector itself would use vector exponent rule of .^ to raise each to the correct power

2018-02-05 22:47:07 UTC  

but it's only giving me the first output instead of all of the outputs
